31 year old mother of two 5’2 175lbs

I’ve been unhappy with stomach after the birth of my son 3years ago. My belly pooches out & I feel like I look about 4 months pregnant all the time! It really affects my self-esteem. I weighed 205lbs when my son was born (I was 155 when I got pregnant). I hover around 170 now and I’m dieting & exercising to lose more.

Getting super excited and nervous!! I am mainly nervous about my house being a mess after & my husband/kids with me not able to do much at first!! Especially my toddler who will be 3 in August. Also I am worried about being really tired once I go back to work bc I have 4 children and work full time and keep my house really clean & tidy so I’m nervous about that!! Hoping I am like most people & feel pretty good post op. I’ve never had any type of surgery before!
I have bought several items to prepare for after surgery:
Extra strength Tylenol
Stool softener
Comfy underwear
A bidet (in case I can’t wipe myself lol)
My surgeon said to eat lots of fresh pineapple the week before to help prevent bruising!!
I’m also thinking about buying some sitting pillows.
Tomorrow is my pre-op appointment! I will post an update how it goes.

This is my *goal* bathing suit for our Fall Break beach trip the first week of October. My surgery is scheduled for July 25th!!
