1 year post TT - the journey continues

I'm a 44 year old mom of 3 adult sons. I feel like this is my time to take care of me. I have given my belly the name Maggie. She is always in the way. I'm forever cropping her out of pictures or squeezing her too death in my spanx. I love traveling and I hate wearing that darn one piece on beaches all over the world. I have been wanting this surgery for years. So,I decided to bite the bullet this year. I'm feeling excited and anxious. My sons will be my nurses...lol. It should be interesting. I'm thankful to you ladies on here because I don't feel alone in this process. I haven't told many folks thus far. Just not in the mood for their opinions about my body. I'm 5 days away from divorcing Maggie..She will NOT be missed lol. Again thanks for all the information. This forum is like Trip Advisor for your body. Nothing like hearing it from someone who has been there.

Yellow Bikini here come!!

This is my final weekend before my TT. I'm just trying to relax and stay positive. I'm finished all my shopping for post op supplies...I think. I can always think of something else to purchase. I picked up all my prescriptions. Visited the library for books. Gonna grab a few more fruits and veggies tomorrow from the farmers market. If you ladies can think of anything that made your recovery easier please respond.

I added pictures this morning. I decided that I wanted to take some to really appreciate the pain.So,here is a look at Maggie..lol. I will definately post after pics. 2 days and counting.
