Well I am about to have the surgery of my dreams...
Well I am about to have the surgery of my dreams and I am so nervous it's almost ruining it for me! : ( I have been trying to prepare myself for the worst and I think it has consumed me. It is time to look at the brighter side! ????
I am 34 with a 12yr old boy and 3yr old girl. I had a rare form of Eclampsia with BOTH of my children (how lucky am I, right!????) I gained 50lbs with my son and 35 with my second. Went thru hell with Eclampsia and seizures swelling etc so I can handle this, hopefully!! Anyway, I also quit smoking 2 weeks prior with no help but let myself have a puff a day of my husbands for the first few days and had a whole half on NYE : / oops. Now husband quit with me and we are both nicotine free since 1-1-14! Very happy about that! Dr gave me a paper to sign saying that since I "was" a smoker at the time, I may slow down the healing etc which I was perfectly fine to sign since I was aware and stupid not to quit long before this.
Ok so dr gave me a bunch of prescriptions to fill prior to surgery. Percocet, Valium (for muscle spasms ????) keflex ? and Zofran for nausea. Im also to start a stool softener the night before surgery. I am a constipated girl so I considering getting an Enema before surgery so that I'm all good. However I have never done one and I have no idea what to expect!!!?
Alright so now I'm just super anxious to get this done and am researching like crazy and trying to prepare. I'm also going to hopefully go look for a compression garment today. Dr fit me for a mask (for the chin lipo) and a binder. But everyone talks about the garments so I'm going to get one too.
I will update with anything else and keep you all posted on surgery!!! Wish me luck! Cannot wait to feel normal and actually have a tight flat tummy for once In my life!!! ????

Tomorrow is the big day!
I'm feeling anxious. Woke with a headache and feel so bloated and icky. Period is going to come tomorrow I know it : ( anyway, lots to do today, deep clean house, get garment, mani/pedi, pack surgery bag and I'm thinking I'll go with a high protein food day. I'm really upset with myself for not losing more weight before the TT like I had planned. I actually gained 3lbs from quitting smoking too. But I'm 10- 15lbs from my stable weight so I think I will be ok. Hopefully!!
I started taking Colace 3 days pre op because I only think it will help. I've never seen a huge difference in stools from it anyway. I'm still taking 1000mg of vit C with Rutin and a multivitamin daily. Is there anything else I should do???? So excited and nervous! I really don't think it's real! I feel like no way is he going to get me flat ! I'm afraid I'm going to be a stuffed sausage! : ( that's just my fear creeping back... I'll post some pix before surgery Tomo morning! I'm going to ask them to take a pic before they put my binder on too!!!

On my way to the flat side!
I'm shockingly at ease! Have not eaten since yesterday at 7pm and was watching the mins go by to make sure I could have all my water before midnight! I always have a big jug of water with me, so that's is the only thing that's really hard right now lol that's good!! Weighed in at 167.6 today : / I started my period early last month so I am technically supposed to start my flow TODAY! LAME! Ok so I dont know if I have shared every bit of info from my consult with the dr. I weighed 165ish and asked if I should wait to lose the 30lbs to get to my goal weight which is 135-140 . He asked what my stable weight is and I said 160 is what I have been at for 4.5years now lol so I guess that's what I'm comfortable/stable at because I never lose the weight I want! So I'm going forth obviously! I really think getting the tuck will help push me tothe goals I'm going for. I work out 4 times a week and I never go below 160... I do not eat horribly and I have plateaued. Ok blah ! My dr said he is going to try to remove all of my tattoo but I told him I can get it covered if he only gets 3/4 of it (because honestly, I think it is too low to be able to get it all!! Ahh so I'll post my pic from this morning and 1 from last night cause I think it really shows how bad my stomach is! Ewwww ok here it goes!

I used Dr Wiener for my breast reduction and lift in 2011 and he did an amazing job. He is very personable and not hoity toity (sp? Lol) Sometimes I feel like it takes some probing to get my questions answered (in major detail) because he has been doing this for so long he almost seems to be on Autopilot (or dr talk) but makes up for that by his desire to make me beautiful and happy! And he has great bedside manner! Cannot wait to begin this journey with him soon!
