Feeling nervous! I am a 35 year old mom of three...
WORTH IT$21,000
Feeling nervous! I am a 35 year old mom of three (18, 14, and 8). I own a business that I am selling, I just bought a new house and am in the midst of selling mine. I am also going to university in the fall. My life is changing in some major ways this year. I turn 36 next month and I thought, why not rejuvenate myself with some new boobs and removal of the mom pouch?
I stand at 5'7" and I weigh 224. I have been much heavier at 277 and I have been lighter at 189. I think I have grown past the idea of having to look a certain way. I am actually quite happy being a bigger girl, I guess what I would really love is proportion and balance. I feel that my expectations are realistic and achievable for these reasons.
I am having a tummy tuck with liposuction. I am also getting a breast lift with saline implants over the muscle(I already have a lot of breast tissue as I am a D cup). I feel pretty nervous, but I am also very excited. This is going to be a new chapter in my life. I have carried the mom pouch since I was 18 and now it's time for it to go.
I have a ton of support from hubby, kids and my sister. I know that I am lucky, not only to have them, but to be able to do this. I never thought I would ever have the money to do these procedures. Now that I do, I am going to go for it!
Feel free to share your feelings, fears, jokes, and stories here. I love the support we get from this website. I definitely have learned a lot since I started coming here. Best wishes for safe surgeries and speedy recoveries to you all! Stay happy and healthy!

I've been exercising a lot lately, I am down...
I've been exercising a lot lately, I am down almost ten pounds from last week. I am power walking for an hour and a half every evening. Lots has been happening around here. I found out that my lab needed surgery for a torn acl and blown knee...my poor pooch. Combine that with my 8 year old an his mystery abdominal pain issue and 5 hours at emerge and they make for stressful days. Thankfully, my son is ok though.
Throughout this stress, I have managed to adhere to my clean eating and exercise and I just know it's going to pay off!
I am trying to decide which silicone sheets I should order for my scar therapy. It's down to Rejuveness or Oleeva..I might email my surgeon's office and ask what they have, etc.
May 31st is coming quickly. Hopefully my shop will be sold by then! Change is good. I hope everyone else is having an awesome Tuesday! I am just hoping my anxiety about these procedures will drop a few notches. Will update again soon!

I am definitely feeling nervous and a bit anxious...
I am definitely feeling nervous and a bit anxious this week. My surgery is 2 1/2 weeks away. Hubby is leaving for Brazil for the next weeks so I'll be managing everything myself. Not really feeling happy about that...3 kids, two dogs (one who just had knee surgery), I guess I just have to roll with the punches and not lose sight of my goals.
On the flipside of things, I really need to start shopping for all of my stuff. I'll have to do a bit of research on things I will need. This website has been such a great resource for me.
I have almost lost the 20 lbs that my doc asked me to lose. Mostly by eating clean and power walking for 1.5 hours everyday. I know the big day is coming soon!
Anyone else feeling under the gun? LOL! I am feeling stressed but I know I will perk up at some point today...maybe I shouldn't blog on Mondays! Haha!
I am really, really, really looking forward to my new body and shape. But t seems that as the day is drawing nearer, my anxiety is going up.
Have a happy Monday Real Self peeps! I hope you're all getting to your goals and/or recovering well.
