42 Year Old Mother of 4 - Snellville, GA

After 22 years of hating my stomach, I'm finally getting a tummy tuck. I have 4 kids, a 22 yr old, a set of 19 yr old twins and a 13 yr old. It's time for me to be happy with my body. I wanted a fat transfer but decided against it. I have been working out with a trainer for about 9 months and I haven't been able to get rid of my stomach. I work out hard so my trainer agreed that I should get the tuck for a "jump start."

I'm excited about getting the look that I've been wanting, but nervous about the actual surgery. I have a high tolerance for pain (all 4 of my deliveries were natural), but reading some of these reviews has my stomach turning.

30 days to go. Hopefully I'll post some great pictures soon!

I talked to my trainer about nutrition after surgery today. I can't say I eat alot, just a lot of the wrong foods. He told me that eating "wrong" after surgery would cause me to gain the weight in other places. But he did say I don't have to star eating like a "rabbit" either.

I'm getting really excited. Walking pass the mirror sucking in my gut everyday. When I was jumping rope today I was looking in the mirror imaging my stomach no longer bouncing up and down.

I'm at the hospital for my pre-operation registration. I'm getting more nervous as the operation day gets closer. The anticipation of the pain is driving me crazy. But I can't wait to see my results. My friends seem to think I'm going to look like Dolly Part on.
