The surgery is a certainty, at least in my mind now. I think that confirms that it is the right thing for me to do.
I have been working hard every day doing sit ups, eating healthy and exercising as much as I can. Hopefully this will help with recovery following my tummy tuck. It would also be great to have ‘instant abs’ once the surgery is done. I know that they are there, but are hidden under skin and lumpy hernia bits.
I haven’t told my children about it yet but my eldest daughter is clever. She has tried to make sure that I know that she loves my tummy the way it is on numerous occasions, since she saw me writing this article. The other day she got a glimpse of my tummy while I was lying in bed and she sternly said “Mummy…. Show me your tummy. Did the doctor give you a little bit of a tummy tuck? Tell me the truth”. My younger daughter loves the way my wrinkly belly feels and likes to dig her fingers (and sometimes her toes) into the skin. My son doesn’t seem to have any deep connection to my tummy the way the girls do. I will explain to them what is going to happen when the time comes closer. I hope that as long as they know that I am the same mummy, that they will be ok.
