I have not had my surgery yet. I will be rescheduled for next summer.

So my starting weight was actually 229, I didn't start my diet program until 5/19. My current weight is 216. That's a 13 pound loss! My size 18 pants feel looser so I am happy about that. I'm not sure ill be making my goal of a size 12 before surgery time, more like a size 14. As far as supplements go, I am taking liquid iron by purAbsorb, vitamin c, folic acid, and a daily multivitamin. I've decided to post my before pic the night before surgery rather than do a month by month weight loss comparison.

Hey ladies!

I have been struggling with negative body image for most of my life. By dieting and gaining weight multiple times, I'm left with stretch marks everywhere and loose skin... ugh! I feel so insecure and disappointed in the state of my body. It has held me back from enjoying the life I want to have. So I've decided now is the time to repair the damage that I've caused over the years. I want to feel confident and secure with my body.

My journey begins with a bbl and tummy tuck with Dr. Duran this summer. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I've never had major surgery or traveled outside the U.S. (well if I don't count Canada) and I finally have the $$ to do this. Yay!

Here are my stats:
225 pounds
Breasts: 44
High waist: 38
Belly: 51 :(
Hips/butt: 48.5
Size 16/18
I'm so upset about this. Although I have been stressed out over the past year or so, I just feel so disappointed that I've let myself get this big.
Sigh. Smh. Anyways, I'll be working extra hard over the next 4 months. I will post a before pic and update my weight loss status every month w/ a pic and new stats.

My goal, realistically, is to be a size 12 (ideally a size 10) , that's about 2 dress sizes a month. I will be restricting my calories to about 1200-1300 and exercising daily (a combo of weight training and cardio). I have a vitamin regime which I'll post later.
