I wish I would have turned to this site sooner. This is so amazing to have all of this support from all of you wonderful people. This journey is so very scary for me. I have only told 5 people in my life I am doing this. Thank you everyone so much for the support. I cannot tell you how much it means to me!!!

Same here. I love that everyone is so helpful. Don't be embarrassed to ask the hard or awkward questions. If you are feeling it chances are 70% of others are too. No matter what it is. I've seen so many "TMI" reviews and I wish they wouldn't apologize or feel embarrassed. We're all going through the same things. Watch out for the swell hell: don't eat any salt & drink lots of water. Watch out for constipation from pain meds: drink tons of water and start the stool softeners or milk of magnesia day one and continue several days after your first poop. Use a throw pillow to press against your tummy to walk, cough, sneeze, or poop. Sleep with knees propped with pillows and in a "recliner" position. Meal plan: I'm going to make 2 pots of soup right before my surgery. Both homemade with no salt. Found recipes online. One chicken noodle soup, one vegetable soup. I'll refrigerate a

Thank you so much for the advice! I start all my vitamins tomorrow.

Oops, hit the "post button accidentally" Anyway, I'll refrigerate about half of both and freeze the rest in small soup bowl containers. His way my husband can just hear up my food and I don't have to worry that he's adding to much salt to the dinners he'll be cooking for him and the kids. I also bought several cans of pineapples chunks in the real pineapple juice, not the syrup. Pineapples helps with swelling too. I'll do yogurt because of the antibiotics which always give me yeast infections -__- no salt saltine crackers and other fresh fruits like apples and blueberries. I'm gonna try to keep my meals healthy so my body is week equipped with good nutrients for healing process.

Just a few days left before surgery and I am totally ready for this to be over!! I pretty much have everything I need. I have been getting great advice from all of my tt friends so thank you for that!! I wish I could take a peek at myself in 6 months from now so I could see that everything turned out ok.

i just looked at your before pictures and I cannot imagine a scenario where you don't look smokin hot! Your body is firm and fit. All except for the loose skin on your tummy and you're about to get rid of that! Your abs will be tight and no rounded bulge, your skin will be tight and you're gonna have a brand new belly button :) You got this!!

Hi sweetie. Thanks for your posts! I look forward to your beautiful journey! You are going to do just great. I will be having a mm in April, but will be having a destination surgery. I will be going to Orlando Florida to have it done. I am not far off from you. I live about 50 minutes west of buffalo. But decided to have it in Owlando for certain reasons. Please keep me posted on your wonderful journey.
