This has been something I have wanted for over 8 years. I am a single mother to 3 children 16, 13 and 6 and not to mention I held onto 91 additional pounds after the pregnancies. It took me 3 years to loose it with motivation from a separation and after 8 years of working hard to maintain it's time! I'm excited and ready to take care of Me. Money will come and go but loving yourself is priceless.

Time4meORJune 21, 2014
My pre-op is scheduled for 7-23. I am beyond excited. Started looking for a recliner today and some good zip front sports bras. After 8 years of being ashamed and embarrassed about my body It's actually starting to finally feel real. I'm going to get a TT without muscle tightening And a Gel 375cc BA. Work had approved my vacation time for 2 full weeks. EXCITED ^_^

We're having surgery the same day :-) I'll definitely be checking up on your blog to see how it goes!

Less than 2wks away! How are you feeling?
July 8, 2014
My pre-op is 7-23 and the surgery is 8-12. I have 35 days!!! I'm excited.. I have days where I feel completely selfish for spending so much money on myself but other then that this is the best things besides child birth I could do.... I'm ready!!

Hi! Can I ask how tall you are? I'm hoping for a C cup, and going 304. I'm really hoping that will get me there!! Our builds are simlar, so if you are going up to 375, I'm worried I'm going too small!!
July 8, 2014
I'm 5'2 but I have a wide back that's why I opted for the bigger one. Have u tried the rice method? 12oz of rice is equivalent to 360cc. Each ounce is 30cc and almost equal in weight just measure the rice out and put it in a panty hose or trouser sock and walk around jump and see how they feel. I'm not 100% set on 375 but when I tried that one on it felt right. When I have my pre-op I'll make a final decision. I may go smaller like 340-360. My PS also said it depends how much breast tissue ur starting with and I have barely any. It's all skin.

I have researched trying to decide what size too. I watched Dr 90210, it's on Netflix instant. That show help me a lot! I am 5'8" @ 135lbs. I was 185 after kids and a bad marriage 16 years ago and decided I needed to change. Since I met my husband now he inspired me to be great and healthy. With my surgery I had on June 27th I went 600cc on the BA. I was considering 500-550cc after watching the show it help me.
July 8, 2014
Thanks!! Ill look the show up tonight! What cup size did the 500-550 bring you? D? Those felt very large and heavy on me. But Im sure they will feel alien for awhile before I get used to them.... Thanks for the recommendations!! And what you took from your divorce is more then you ever could have asked for. You woke up to loving yourself and that is priceless... That's how I look at it. I tell people I lost 350 pounds. 100 pounds of my weight and another 250 pound ex!
July 8, 2014
My PS wants to go 600+ with me as well!!! How did the boobs turn out?? I am super curious because well. I am 5'7" and 149 pounds. :)

I always say that I lost 165 pounds of Ugly fat about the ex and I had lost about 10 to 15 pds during the divorce and my friends call it the "Divorce Diet". Before I moved to Iowa, my husband & I were traveling for his work for the past two years and we are based out of Vancouver, WA. I was going to do the surgery in Portland or Vancouver I couldn't decide which doctor, Dr. Ron DeMars he's in Portland is one of the doctors I was considering. Have you heard of him? He was refer to me about 4 times for different women I had talked to (of all ages youngest was 23 up to 50).
July 8, 2014
My PS asked what I wanted...I told him I wanted a lift and highest I would go 600cc. He told me after he had measured me and the way I carried my breastess that I didn't need a lift and judging how I was built he said that sound like a perfect size. When I lost my weight I full lost a lot in the bust line, I have been a 36 C-D cup before and after kids but during the kids with milk I gained up to almost 3 cup sizes DD- E. When I went down had hard time finding bras to fit and having a BA done would help almost even me out

Do you regret not getting a lift? My ps also says I don’t need a lift (which is what I wanted). I’m going to get a BA, but don’t want to regret not getting a lift.

I have read someone had rented a hospital bed for the first weeks and then she went into a recliner. If your planning on buying a recliner I would suggest a over stuff one. I got and over stuff one very comfortable. Also, another lady suggested a walker helps too to walk around when you are hunched over. I didn't think of that, thought that was a good call. Even renting a hospital bed was an awesome idea too. I am into my second week Post-Op and just learned this website last nite. I had the Mommy Makeover had the BA, TT, & Lipo flanks.

Both of you should watch the show Dr 90210 it might help you decide what size to choose. I also have silicone.

Was checking on Lye10up, saw your post to her. I'm from Salem so just wanted to wish another Oregonian the very best on your upcoming surgery! Not sure what kind of ice packs you got....but Winco cheap peas worked the best for me. They lay so nicely on new boobies! Congratulations on all the weight loss!
July 16, 2014
Hello!! Thank You so much! Im nervous, excited, scared and all of the above. I bought rice ice wraps. I will definitely grab some peas as well :) You look phenomenal! I have 26 days to go so this is setting it! Next Wednesday is my Pre-Op. Im physically ready, pretty much just need to be emotionally ready!
July 16, 2014
Get 4 packs of peas so you can rotate! I'm sure you will be even more ready emotionally after your pre op, I know I was. I had lingering questions and decisions before my pre op. When I left, I knew exactly what was going on! Made a big difference. Thanks for the compliments! I feel really good, super happy with my decision. ...just hope my right side shrinks a bit!

Congrats on your scheduled surgery! Thanks for taking a look at my profile. I am very pleased with the out come so far. It will look even better as I continue to heal. I looked at your list of items, and you did really well organizing your stuff. Do you have any help? Have you made any meals prior? Think no salt, drink lots of water (2.5 litres day before surgery and 2.5 right after surgery) will help to detox your body from anesthetic. Also, will help you in the long run. I took gravel (anti-nausea meds) to hold down my water consumption. I also, never ate any solid food until till post op day 3. I stuck to clear foods to allow the healing to begin. I suck to water, jello, applesauce, tea, protein shakes with lots of berries (strawberries and blueberries) helps with your recovery process. I stared with lots of veggies and a bit of dip to help. I ate watermelon in the morning to hydrate and put potassium in. I hope all this info helps. Take care and can't wait to see you on the flat side!
July 20, 2014
I did have help from this website!! I've been reading and researching daily. It has consumed me lol I plan to make meals and freeze them for the kids and to make life easier on my mom. For myself I bought 20 of those 100% fruit smoothies by Bolthouse. Acai berry and high vitamin C. I will definately get hello and watermelon. How many days before surgery on liquid? I'm so excited and counting the days. It's been 8 years carrying around this skin and it's surreal that it will be gone in 23 days!

Excellent list I better get hopping on my shopping my surgery is May 16th period my pre-op appointment is next week on the 19th. I think I will start doing some of that shopping for my supplies today. I actually think that your body looks very similar to mine before my breast augmentation which in October of 2015. Now my tummy tuck is in 4 weeks! I am so excited!
