A WOMAN who underwent a total mummy makeover has told how she thought she'd wake up looking snatched, only to look like a "box" instead.
Arubee, who decided to have a breast lift, implants, a tummy tuck and lipo after losing a whopping 75lbs in weight, revealed the things she wished she knew before going under the knife.
In a candid video shared to TikTok (@musclemummyxoo), she explains: "You're not going to wake up from surgery and be snatched.
"For me, it took four-five weeks before I could see my results.
"Before that, I looked like a box."
Arubee goes on to warn you'll "most likely" be depressed following the operation.

"Every day I cried, multiple times a day," she explains.
"I was just miserable.

"I was angry at myself for putting myself through a lot of pain and it was the worst pain I've ever experienced.
"I've had two children with just gas and air....I thought labour was the worst thing, but it's not."

"After the initial surgical pain wears off you're just left with discomfort and feeling uncomfortable."
The mum-of-two also admits she thought she'd have a six week break but notes that feeling lasted a day and then she was over it.
"I couldn't do anything for myself," she says.
"I couldn't open the fridge, I couldn't go to the bathroom by myself, I couldn't shower.
"It was painful to brush my teeth.
"I thought it was going to be a relaxing time - no!"
Next up, Arubee points out that your body dysmorphia after surgery will be a lot worse.
"I feel like currently, I don't know what I look like," she says.
"Some days I'll be like, 'Ooh yas!' and other days I'm like 'hmmm…'
"So yeah, it's mentally a rollercoaster."
Arubee concludes by noting you'll probably get addicted to surgery.
"You'll probably think, 'oh shall I do my nose? Shall I do my elbows?'
"You'll be like, 'if I can fix this, what else can I fix?'
"That's why you need to be a mentally strong person not to go down this slippery slope.
"And yes, there are many thing you might want to fix about yourself but essentially, you need to love yourself."
The video has since gone viral, racking up over 103k views and several comments from social media users.
"Yeah I’m never getting surgery. Thanks for the info," wrote one.
A second penned: "I once considered it. Thank God at the time I was broke! I’ll keep going to gym even though I hate it."
A third noted: "Omg I’m sooooo glad someone is being honest I just had a Bbl and it’s 2 weeks and it’s the worst experience ever."

And a further chimed in: "Wow everyone says it’s really painful. Then it really is damn!"
