5 months post mommy makeover

WORTH IT
So I'm 5 months since I had my mommy makeover done and I feel like I'm on a,freaking roller coaster ride. Put on some weight bit it seems to go to my thighs and but. I already have a button don't need it to get any bigger. Feeling really upset with myself like I just spend all this money to have my surgery done and kicking myself in the ass for putting on this weight. I blame myself for not being motivated to get out and exercise I don't eat junk food. Ugh...I look in the mirror and want to cry have any of you ladies experience this. I had eating disorders in the past and I know my self image is distorted my husband tells me all the time you look hot yet I feel discourage. Ugh

Ugh! I'm sorry you are feeling so down, sweetie. An emotional rollercoaster is so normal following major surgery. Turn that depression into motivation, hun, and start moving, even if it is just a little bit. You will begin to feel so much better and that will make you want to move more. I literally have to force myself to move some days, but I always feel so much better physically and mentally afterwards. Your husband is a sweetheart! Take care of yourself. xoxo

One month loving my results

It's been a month since I had my mommy makeover done and I'm so blown away by the results and recovery.
I have noticed I'm feeling very emotional and no I'm not PMSing I look in the mirror and I love what I see. I have to be patient and realize it's only been a month and it will get better. Best decision I ever made.

You look great! I'm about the same size as you, 5'5" and 132 lbs. My surgery is next Thursday and I'm SO nervous!!! I love reading all of the great success stories here!
Thank you so much. Your going to love the results. Keep us posted. It is the best thing I've done. Wishing you the best and a speedy recovery
U look great!
You look great! It's only normal to feel emotional after surgery... But I promise it does get better, much better! Just remember that " patience is a virtue"!
I am 5 1/2 months post op and am feeling great now. My body goes through wonderful changes every day!
Ha
Oh healing sweetie! :)
I meant to say... Happy healings sweetie! Uuughhh typos!
Congratulations! I explanted after 9 years. Reimplanting in 3-6 months. My gut says Mentor but I'm open to Inspira. Did you choose soft touch or responsive gel?
They seem to have settled very beautifully pretty quickly. Very flattering lateral placement.
All I know is I have natrelle inspira 365cc they are like the gummy bears lol. They feel amazing and very natural
They are highly cohesive but not rock solid. I had rock solid anatomical for 9 years, grade 4. Believe me, you wouldn't want them. Why inspira is somehow appealing to me is because it's slightly more cohesive, which gives a much more natural effect than gel in tear drop shaped implants, and high fill. It's on account of the latter, rippling is likely to be unapparent.
Congratulations on your beautiful outcome! Have a good day!
Wow they are amazing! I wish I had your boobs!! Lol

I would love to see the before pics! Are you above or below the muscle? Did you get the Natrelle Inspira's? Do you have any rippling? Thanks :)
I will find some pictures yikes don't want to scare anyone lol. All I have is a small scar under the nipple. No rippling at all. Absolutely love them Friday will be one month and already they feel natural. I did get the Natrelle inspira 365cc in both. Love the silicone

You're looking fabulous. Congrats!

Thank you for your kind words. October 1st will be one month and today is the first time I broke down. Having suffered from anorexia for years then putting on tons of weight then losing 60 pounds I looked in the mirror and felt overweight. Ugh

It's such an emotional roller coaster ride. Thanks again for sharing your photos.
