47 Year Old Sales Professional by Day and Harley Riding Mom on Weekends - Tyler, TX

All my adult life I have been overweight and just in the last 2 years I changed my lifestyle and lost over 70lbs. I did it by cutting out the sugars and just walking and taking a Zumba class a 3 times week. So I will say to those who have been trying all the latest diets and fads, losing weight is not hard you just have to start really paying attention to the grams of sugar in your diet and keep it sensible. I myself just set a maximum of 40 grams of sugars a day and really started watching my calorie intake.
I found the weight just falling off of me sometimes as much as 5 or 6 pounds per week at first then I learned to manage my weight and now I am ready for the next phase which is to get rid of the extra skin.
So now I am going to go to surgery for a lower body lift and tummy tuck @ 05:30 tomorrow morning the 22 of April 2014. I am excited but nervous about the whole thing but I do plan on feeling much better about myself after this is finally done.

Arrived at hospital 05:30 am immediately back to pre-op. Made peace with the nasty nurse who stuck me with IV signed 100 pages of crap and off to be sliced. Left Husband in charge from that point. Will update when my brain is fully functioning.
Here's some before pics

My doctor said this would be a butt whopping and boy oh boy this butt is whooped. I'm able to move in small grandma steps and the trip to the restroom even though in reality is small seems forever. My doctor does not use drains (thank goodness) so I'm not lugging around bags of slime. But he did lipo my girl parts and it's swollen like it belongs on a jersey milk cow. It's hard to judge the results yet but did see my tummy and it's flat as can be ;-). In total I had 4 lbs. of fat and excess skin removed. He did an auto augmentation of my buttocks lipo to my knees my thighs and back. With tummy tuck then small amounts of fat was used to fill in my face which was deflated due to the lost weight. Basically I feel like the train ran over me then backed up to make sure it didn't kill me. But I look forward to seeing my new body under the wraps I will try to snap a picture or two soon.
