I have been dreaming of getting a mommy makeover since my youngest was born, he is now 5. On Thursday I will be going in for my surgury. I am super excited but a little nervous at the same time. I will be getting a full tummy tuck and silicon implants between 300-400cc depending on how they look. I told my DR I want my breast to look natural to my 5'7" frame, 150 lb frame. I still feel like I am still too big to be doing this, when I look at myself, esp the front view I am so unhapppy with my body. Hoping I am able to achieve my desired look. I work out quite a bit, boot camp 3-4 days a week and I run a lot. However cant manage to get my stomach to do anything.

I made it! I was able to stay the night at the surgury center and I am so thankful I did. There is no way I could have come home. The nurses were amazing. If you get the option to stay over night PLEASE STAY!
Dr D ended up putting in silicone 400cc moderate profile implants. He did lipo on my flanks and a tummy tuck, where he also stitched my abdominal muscles 4 inches closer. Even just 1 day post op I can tell I am going to love my new body. Dr D really is a master at what he does. The nurse who was helping me post op told me how meticulous he is, down to not letting anyone assist in stitching up his patients. My surgury was scheduled to be 5 hours and it ended up 6 because he needed to get everything perfect. Just after surgury there was a huge amount of pressure on my chest, like a very heavy elephant was sitting on me. After a few hours I traded that for the feeling of doing 10,000 crunches in my stomach. Fortunately I did not get sick from the anesthesia and was able to eat and drink pretty quickly. I have posted one pic and will take more this afternoon. Getting up is a challenge.
I have been able to stand up strainer than I thought I would, and

I had my post op yesterday and it went great. Dr D. Said I was healing perfect, and that I was a few day ahead of the curve. The pain is not awful, I am mainly taking Tylenol now, but i do take the Oxycoton at night. I really don't like it as it makes me a little loopy and I wake up with a headache. Even with all the swelling I love how things look, my stomach has NEVER been this flat. My drains should come out Monday. The worst part has been pooping and coughing. The first poop was AWFUL. It was everything in me not to cry. Now that things are moving it does not hurt as much. Coughing did bring me to tears, it felt like my abs were on fire. Honestly, I will do anything not to cough. I have posted an update pic, my boobs are sitting super high and are still swollen but they will begin to settle. I am doing breast massages 4x a day. Please don't judge the mess behind me, cleaning has not been high on my list of things to do.
