Hi everyone! My name is Jen. I am relatively new to this site but I feel like I've been a member for years since all I do is go on here and read post and reviews! Ever since I found this site I've been addicted!!! My boyfriend has even called me out for being on this site too much; but I pay my boo no attention! I still cook, clean and go to my 12hr work shifts. =) I love this site because it helps me to prepare for this surgery 100x better without it! And hey, this surgery is no joke, so you have to prepare yourself mentally, physically and definitely spiritually.

About me, well I am 30 years old, half asian (which is a good/bad thing since I look younger but I have an asian ass), no children, 5'2 and roughly 128 lbs. I'm normally 118 but Dr. Salama wants me to gain 10 lbs for this surgery. I carry most of my weight in my flanks and in my abs. I would describe my ass as being "decent" -- definitely not bad but certainly not good by any stretch of the imagination! That's for daaaang sure! I will post some pictures once I'm near my surgery date to have a more precise before/after result with my weight.

Why do I want to have a BBL? Well, I would love to have a beautiful, ROUND, plump (emphasis on the plump part) bottom. I also want to have a FLAT stomach. Even at my skinniest at 110 lbs I had a pooch. I would go to the gym and work out 5x a week for an hour and a half, doing cardio and weights and still not be satisfied. As my stomach shrunk so did my ass, wow, what a catch 22!!! So I guess you can say that I give up, LOL. I even tried working out with a personal trainer focusing on legs and glutes. After a couple months, my legs were looking great but my asian genetics said H to the NO to the growth of my glutes. So it appears that this BBL will be my answer. I also want to have this surgery because I have dd's and without a butt to balance my top I look like a DRUMSTICK. That's no bueno, ladies! :P

To wrap everything up, I finally booked my procedure with Dr. Salama last month, which was March, and Nancy was able to get me April 22nd since someone canceled their apt and I paid in full. Well, the surgery was just too soon for me so I found someone on this site to swap dates. Now I'm scheduled for August 26th which is a perfect date for me. SInce, I have like 5 months to prepare, I plan on working out at the gym to build some nice lean muscles under all this newly acquired fat. I would love to see some nice muscle definition after lipo!

Good luck to everyone and may you all have a safe and blessed recovery!!!

Hi ladies,

I was able to switch my date from August 26th to June 14th due to a cancellation. Nancy is awesome =) Now I have 57 more days to go! My sx is paid off so I just need to buy stuff to prepare for my surgery. I plan on staying at my boyfriend's parents house in Miami. We will have the house to ourselves since they will be out of town. That works out perfectly, the money I was going to spend on hotels will be used on massages instead. I want to get at least 12 following surgery. I really liked how Realself member newbootyinc took care of herself following surgery! Her results proved that she took good care of her body after surgery which is definitely the key to maximizing your expectations.

Current plan: I plan on eating nutritious food as well as gaining several more lbs. I'm currently at 127 lbs and I think gaining 3 more will be perfect. Most of my weight is sticking to my stomach, upper back and the rest to my butt (yay!).

I want to make sure I have a healthy amount of iron in my system as well as vitamin c. The buzzle.com site was really helpful for me:

http://www.buzzle.com/articles/iron-rich-foods-list-of-foods-high-in-iron.html

If you copy & paste that link the page will show you a list of foods that are high in iron.

Okay, now online shopping I go! I will make a check list of what I plan on buying and I will post it on my page. =)

I'm now at 130 lbs (5'2) and I gotta love how the fat is mainly going to my arms now, LOL... My butt is getting a tad bit bigger though; I want to gain at least 3 to 5 more lbs until surgery... Hmm, I think I may ask Dr. Salama to lipo my arms if he thinks it's a good idea. I have such a small frame so big arms on me does not look too good -- this ish is starting to look like wreck it Ralph, haha... So ladies, should I do arm lipo??? I hear many pros and cons with lipo of the arms! Hmmm...
