Helloooooo Ladies! Sorry I haven't done much...

Helloooooo Ladies! Sorry I haven't done much updating. I've been so caught up with going back to school and a new job.

Sooooo.. I just want to kinda update you ladies on my journey. I've been trying to lose weight now but I'm still at 140. I want to at least lose 5-8 pounds because I feel like my arms and my thighs are to somewhat big and I want to avoid looking funny after the sx. Tiny waist with big arms so do not mix! Lol However I still have time to get in shape before the sx so that's a very good thing.

Because I have been too busy to eat healthy and exercise, I have been doing something else to prepare for next January. I've been wearing my faja (aka garment). YESSSSSS, you read correctly. I've been wearing the garment that is use for after sx. I wear it every day, when I go to work, when I go to school, even when I go out at night. I have a strapless one I can rock with my dresses. I'm Dominican and one thing I'm use to is going to the hair salon and hearing all the women talk about their lipo stoires. And want I've learned from them is that it's not the lipo that sculpts your body after sx it's the faja. SOOOOO PLEASE LADIES, AS UNCOMFORTABLE AS IT MAYBE DO NOT TAKE OFF YOUR GARMENT! KEEP IT ON, YOUR RESULTS WILL ONLY BE
BETTER. The good thing about me wearing starting to wear it now is I'm getting use to the tight fit on my body. That [RS bleep] is a [RS bleep] to get into but once it on I feel fabulous! My waist is small and my butt stands out. It's even starting to get to the point where days I don't have it on my body stills has the shape of the garment. WHICH IS A HUGE PLUS! ;)

My plan is hopefully since I'm not losing weight (at the moment) I can at least sculpt my body so when my time comes to get the sx my body already has that hourglass shape!

You want to know something funny your using the fajas (garments) before surgery but I have been wearing them for two years to give the illusion that I have no belly and an uppity butt. I ahve bought several in the past years that I think I won't need to buy none.

(continues) when u decide to have the bbl. All the ones I have are Colombian like Ann cherrie. They were definitely tight at the beginning, but I have grown use to it, since I prefer take tightness then having my love handles and wings hang out. lol Good luck girl your bbl day will soon be here.

Same here. My hair stylist has been selling them to all here clients and within the past year I've brought three. However they are for surgery because when you go to the website the one I'm wearing is under the Post-Surgery Garments/Fajas Post-Quirurgicas
section.

Girl you look great your going to look bomb after your surgery. That was a great tip about wearing the faja before hand i was actually thinking about wearing it now so that no one would question if i got anything done lol. I'm dominican too and thats the truth is Fajas really sculpt. Some years back my mom wore a faja right after she gave birth for about 6 months post and she looked better after those 6 months then before she was pregnant, you would think she had surgery..which made her go into the selling faja business lol which is great i now have some garments to choose from :-). Your really going to look fabulous. Wish you luck keep us posted.

Thank you my love! Ja tu sades, Dominican be all their fajas! It's so true what your saying, my mom since I was 14 always to told me to wear a faja. She even warned me about wearing low rise jeans. That lose jeans give a muffin top (which she was right) lol. I started wearing the faja faithly when this girl I knew got the gastric bypass surgery done. This girl has wore a faja since she was 15 and never had any rolls on her back. After the sx she went from being 220 to 140 and let me tell you she looks amazing! She didnt need a tummy tuck like most women need after getting that done intend she looks like a freaking Barbie no lie!

Sooooo I spoke to Nancy about my concerns on losing 10 lbs (I'm 140-143 now) and she gave me the go! Said that for my height (5'2 & 1/2) I can afford to lose 10 pounds. Usually weight between 130 - 133 which is where I felt most comfortable at. So I'm so happy that I can work out and eat right. I know that's going to contribute to a faster recover because my body will be fit and somewhat in shape which I read somewhere that's make a prefect candidate for liposuction. Ooooo man can wait for my new booty and abs!! =D

I'm getting more motivated to lose weight @bootysoPhat our bodies look similar, that is when I did weigh 135 lbs. But now I am 165lbs which is my heaviest. So if I lose 35 lbs I will feel much better. My bbl is scheduled in mid march.

Your weight situation is pretty much identical to mine! I'm 5'2 1/4" and I usually look good around 120-125 lbs. I also stopped going to the gym due to work and school and ballooned up to 141! I hate this weight because my arms and face got fat. Whenever I get above 130, that's where I gain weight. I don't want to end up after surgery with a tiny waist & rounded butt, but a chubby upper body. My surgery is in October.... I plan on dropping down to around 132. That way I don't have that much to lose after the surgery to get rid of the arm/face fat.
