11 years ago I went from 90lbs to 220lbs while pregnant with my twins and 7 years later I had my youngest and gained 60lbs. I have always carried my babies all in my stomach and because of that my stomach is stretched out and a mess.
I managed to bounce back weight wise after having my kids and I currently weigh 117lbs but no mater what I do (diet, exercise) my stomach looks the same.
I also have severe diastis recti and a umbilical hernia.

11 days until my tummy tuck
11 days ..... I have so many thoughts running thru my head right now it's hard to think straight.
I am freaking out about the recovery I am so active and hate laying around it's going to be hard. I am also worried about the pain ????.
I don't know what I truly need to help me thru the recovery I have read so much on line and some say you need a recliner others say they did fine with out one, some say you need a shower stool others say they managed to not have one.
I really don't want to spend extra money on items that might not get used but I am also scared of not having what I might need.
I have my pre op this Friday so I am hoping my DR can help me work thru some of my thoughts so I can get organized.
I purchased a light weight zip up hoodie and pair of Capri yoga pants today to wear home from the hospital because that's another thing I was worrying about not having anything comfortable to wear home. The stress is real!

The stress for me has also been real.... but I believe it will all come out in the wash. Do what you can and don't stress over the rest. I have a recliner and my dad gave me a walker he had from an old hip surgery. I don't have a shower chair, but if i need one, I will put a towel over a folding chair and put it in the shower. My husband and I are actually planning he will just come in the shower and wash me at least the first time or two...I read another gal did that and she said it worked fine for her. I have a lanyard and bought safety pins at the dollar store to pin my drains around my neck on the lanyard....but we really won't know until we're in it... we got this!!!!!!
