Yoyo post op moods..... - South Africa, ZA

Hi all
Boy! Am I glad I found this site, some things need to be shared with 'like minded people' I have been saving for a tt for goodness knows how long & my day is looming but boy does time drag on when your excited about something. Im having an extended tt (longer scar) some lipo & revised breast lift, the last one didnt turn out so great, when someone tells you that if something sounds too good to be true it probably is........one boob is bigger than the other & hurts all the time SO Im having the full monty, I chosen this arena to chat in because I already know what to expect with the boobies ;-) so its all about tummies form here on lol! My main objective is to remove tatoos that I stupidly did to "cover" the stretch marks ha ha bloody ha! So after emphasising my stretch marks with a botched cover up plan & many years of total regret & self loathing, I put on a bit of weight (chocolate doesnt solve any problems, I found out the fat way) ok let me not exaggerate too much, I put on 15kg's (36lbs) WOW right? Anyway I have managed to get back down to my goal weight of 60kg's, I have become a gym bunny ha ha! At 40yrs of age I started hitting the gym, now 42yrs old I have finally got enough money & enough loose skin lol! To have my dream come true, whoohoo!

I have been a bit concerned about my train of thought these days, I wonder if my expectations are realistic, I really hope that this is all I need to make me feel good about myself, does anyone else think this way? You know! Like after my healing process is over am I going to find another problem & then another. Gosh! I really hope not.
Im forgetting the most exciting news, my op is all paid for & the first 2 days in hospital, I dont think I can go home sooner than that, its comforting knowing I'll be looked after by professionals.
Still 13 days to go (not including day of op)
Here are some before pics

So I woke up feeling full of beans today, Im going to pack a bag for my 2 night stay in the hospital, I must make sure I have everything I need, I went out on monday & bought 2 new nighties, a matching gown & new slippers, all very sensible cotton items. I'll need to pick up a toiletry bag today as my old one just wont do.
I have decided to prepare a whole range of meals to freeze for my family, anyone else do that?
I have also booked myself in for a pedi before I go in & 2 weeks after (wonder if I'll be up for that) & so on (every 2 weeks) until I can carry on doing it myself ( ex beauty therapist)
One thing I'm a bit worried about is my spastic colon, I dont want to struggle after the op to go poop ?blushing ? it seems to be a common problem & I already have issues in that department. I find that prune juice does nothing for me, I'll have to ask my gp I think, I'm not sure if my ps would be helpful with that. Anyway I'm off to gym now, chat soon
