I am really looking to be a better me. I'm not looking for a barbie doll figure, but i would love to see my abs again. When I'm working out I feel really helpless. I know no matter how many crunches I do, I will never see my abs. I am a young woman and want to look my best. I have given birth to 3 amazing children and need to get my body back. I'm currently at 193 and don't care to be 140. I'm good with my final weight at 160. I just want to be comfortable in my skin, feel sexy when making love to my husband and look amazing in my clothes I design for my line. I'm very nervous, but excited to see a flatter tummy. I have talked about this for years and never had the money or time to do it. I'm truly grateful that I am in a position to help me. My husband wanted to be able to pay for this, but can't. It's ok, because he supports me having the procedure and I am more than thankful for that.

Good luck on your journey! I am 36 years old, had 2 kids naturally in 2001 and 2003... but my body has never been the same. I came on here because I am looking for inspiration and I am saving money for a tummy tuck. can't wait to see your posts! Congrats on this process! ♥

oh hand btw... my stomach looks like yours now... but I am 180 lbs :( and 5'8" tall.....trying to lose some more weight before I have a consultation. Will you be just doing the tummy tuck? lipo? I plan to do both.

Thank you. You are exactly right! Your body will never be the same after children. I was doing Shaun T insanity and never could see my results. I am scared to death, but I'm sure god help me make it through my breast reduction, then I can make it through this. Mentally preparing myself.

Hi there. Oh no honey I'm doing the whole nine yards. Muscle tighten, liposuction to flanks and of course the tummy tuck part. My doctor says the liposuction is a must to get the contour shape you want. So i'm preparing myself mentally for the pain. I'm so nervous, but i really would love to see my tummy flat in this lifetime :)

Ok, so I have been telling myself I can do this and not chicken out. Believe it or not I'm 192 pounds today. Maybe, if I'm lucky to be 185 before surgery. Only protein and milk shakes until then. I have to finish payment today and I'm all set. My grandmother came up from Alabama to help me for two weeks. Thank god for her. My husband will be with me while I'm in the hospital, then he has to go back to work. I am staying overnight, so that makes me feel comfortable. I went yesterday to get my toilet seat riser, walker, and shower seat. I found these at Walmart. I will get my prescriptions filled this weekend. I went to CVS to pick up Arnica Cream and Palmers cocoa butter. I even made an appointment with my dermatologist to get a prescription for scarring. I'm not going to by that expensive Merderma and it may or may not work. The crazy part is the fact someone crashed into my escalade last Friday and put a hurting on my back. This really sucks, because I'm told your tummy tuck takes a toll on your back. So my doctor gave me 90pills 800 MG of Ibuprofen and Valium for muscles spasms. I guess life works like that. My 3 year old is the cutest. He tells me everyday how he loves my giantic tummy. Lol lol the funny things kids say, which actually makes me sad. I know he doesn't know he is hurting mom's feelings, so it's ok. Here are a few more before pictures. My husband doesn't feel I need a recliner. He wants me to sleep in our bed, so hopefully I'm not making a huge mistake by not renting one. Well that's enough for today, work is calling.

Can I give you some advice? Merderma does not work for me.... I have big stretch marks on my belly and thighs and have been using bio-oil (from walmart) I work out daily and use it on my thighs...it really helps! I figured with trying to lose weight might as well get in the rhytham to use it:) good luck!
January 19, 2016
Thank you for that. I will get some bio oil today then. Thank you so much.

i wish i could have taken some photos of my stretch marks before and now to show you, it really does work and makes your skin so soft... I also have lots of celulite on my back upper legs and it is helping it too I think..... (sorry my english is my second language) so my spelling is not so good..lol

I am so nervous, excited, scared and happy all at the same time. My family is so supportive that it freaks me out. I guess since they ate not having the surgery they can have all the faith in the world. Trust me I'm not complaining, but i honestly don't know how to feel. I'm a one woman show with my new clothing line and I'm freaking out about running my business. I have to help with homework and just don't want to have a nervous breakdown in front of my children. I pray that the gods rain a speedy and not so painful recovery. If it wasn't for my car accident last week, I'm sure I would feel much better. My back is not 100% and I know tummy tucks can put a hurting on your back. I hate looking at cuts, so I'm sure my husband will be strong for me and change my bandages. Thinking about meal prep and if I should get a recliner or not. I am a clean freak, but guess what? I am not going to worry about this big ass house. Spending 5 hours to clean, then my kids mess it up in 30 minutes. Heck no. I am going to relax and get as much work done for my business. The weather is calling for snow this weekend and I have my daughter birthday party. I specifically schedule it after her birthday, so mom could be 100% for her. I'm loving my new breast and feel so sexy. My husband said I'm going to look amazing and he can't wait for me to feel more confident. God I thank you for a good husband. What in the world would I do without him. He is so positive and optimistic. I really hope my doctor delivers, because I have a husband waiting ;) bye bye flab.

Lol...to hubby waiting...lol...so happy for you!!! Keep us posted! I don't know how my hubby feels because when I mention my plans he tells me I'm perfect for him and that's what matters.... wish he could understand that I feel trapped in this belly.
January 20, 2016
My husband said the same thing. I told him it's about how I feel not him. I'm just hoping my back will not fall off, since that accident last week and I'm already using a heating pad and Valium. Geesh.

January 20, 2016
