I’m happy to have a flat stomach again at 50 years old. LOL But honestly, the end results are totally worth it. I tell everyone who wants to do plastic surgery that beauty suffering. Having to sleep on a recliner, walking around with a hunched back all the time, taking your compression garment off/on everytime you have a bowel movement. I would love to exercise right now but can’t. I think the only downside to any plastic surgery is that recovery is “boring” especially for type A personality like me. I’m looking forward what the results will look like once swelling goes down. But if I had two or more children, I would have definitely done a full TT. I only had one child and I didn’t need muscle repair. I’m totally happy on what a mini TT and lipo gave me. But I didn’t want a full tummy tuck to achieve that. And my doctor told me if one wanted that look, I would have to do a full tummy tuck. Yesterday, I went to see my plastic surgeon for my post op and to get the drain out. I will even post the lipo pics of the FUPA area that my surgeon was able to do. My goals is to get back to 125/126, because even though I have a pretty flat stomach, I want my overall frame back to being smaller. I did an all day cleanse yesterday and back down to 132. And I can feel it was making my stomach very bloated. All the salty snack foods (like chips) were catching up to me. I started surgery at around 131 and I was horrified when I stepped on the scale yesterday and I was up to 134. I alternate between two kinds - I will post the pics.īut the past week, I have been “boredom” eating. The binders and body suits that you get are not there good. But the last two days, I’m finally sleeping propped up on my bed. The electric lazy boy lift up chair (that my good friend left me borrow) was so helpful the first week. I also was able to have my massage lady come to the house and give me a (much needed) face up massage for an hour. And today I drove to Whole Foods, Target, and Costco. Yesterday, I drove to Whole Foods by myself. I even remember the second day post op, I was already walking up our stairs to the second floor. I’m the only person I know who has gotten a mini and I can tell you this is so much easier than a full in every way. I’ve known at least 5 women who have gotten tummy tucks and all of them got a full one. Like when I got my butt down in 2015, there was more down time but I don’t remember being as restless as now. I think the downtime in plastic surgery is psychologically harder (for me) now that I’m 50. Unlike that those of us, have to pay $ to experience that. They just kind of take it for granted and it’s effortless for them. But I can’t help that this is what life for people that are genetically blessed (with a good body) must feel like on a daily basis. I have to promise myself to get back into cardio and toning. I’m usually pretty religious about working out. And with a flat stomach from this surgery, I’m getting kind of lazy with exercising which I never been before. I would love to get down to my ideal weight of 120 by summer and see what it will look like then.īut I have to be honest - I never do squats or lounges now that I have butt implants. When I look at pics, I’m almost wishing I got a full tummy tuck instead of a mini because it’s not completely flat in the middle and you can see the loose skin above the belly button. Lost 5 pounds since and hovering around 125/126 pounds without dieting or exercise. Can’t believe that it’s been 8 weeks since the surgery.
