POD #18... Walked 3 miles two days in a row! Found an extra staple left in my incision. New Pics! - Phoenix, AZ

Hi Everyone,
Like many other people I was not going to share my story, but I felt so empowered by reading the stories of so many others on the site. So, here it goes.... Lol. I am an engaged mother of 5 (wedding at the end of April 2013)!!! I have given birth to 4 children (3 of which were via c-section). I also just turned 30 two weeks ago! I have been wanting get a TT for about the last 5 years. However, time, fear and finances have prevented me from actually scheduling the procedure until now. After getting married to the "ex" and beginning a family at a very ealy age my body has just never been the same. I am 5'10 and weigh about 178. My highest weight was 226 post pregnancy and my lowest was 155! Right now my goal weight is about 165 (I don't see me hitting that before surgery). Anyways, now that I am officially done having kids, I am ready to a little something for me and fix this belly! My fiancé is completely loving and supportive and I feel so blessed that I have him in my life. However, not everyone is as supportive as he has with my decision. The kids seem like they are pretty scared since I've never been in the hospital before besides having children. I feel pretty bad about that because I don't want to cause them any stress. I just reassure them that everything will be fine (and I pray to God it will be). My friends and family I have told are about 70/30, with 70% on the positive side.
Well that's my story! Hopefully, it wasn't too boring :-s I will post before pics as soon as I can.
December 7th, Here I come!!!!!
