Im 33 with 3 kids - 4 days post op - Aventura, FL

Im 33 with 3 kids, im the biggest ive ever been im 200pds 5,6. I have been on this site following others for about 3 weeks now i decided to share my journey as well. i paid my deposit back in march after being on this site i got caught up in the hype. ive never had a booty but now that my stomach is huge i look awful. Im doing this so i can look better and get my confidence back. I was advised to lose 20 to 30 pds and also i have to stop smoking 60 days prior to surgery. i have not had a smoke in 3 days its hard but it has come to surgery to get me to stop. i dont want any problems. if anyone can share some diet tips please do. i have some diet pills but was told no fat burners 60 days prior to surgery so i will have to stop taking them in may. I have read some mess on some of these pages im not hear for that i simply would just like to share and read to make the time go by.
