OK, I'm a few weeks before my surgery and I'm extremely nervous. I am 5'1 weighing 105lbs so definitely too small for bbl. Salama suggested that I gain between 15-20lbs. I'm working on it now. I'm particularly concerned with lipo. I hope it's not too aggressive leaving burns and deformity. I'm also not sure if I want rounds or ovals. Any how, the closer my date gets the more nervous I am.

Your weight for your height sounds within the normal range to me. Don't judge yourself based on the new 'normal' in North America. Most people are waaaay too fat. Small, light people live longer. Is that your picture? If so you definitely DO NOT need to gain weight. You look great now!

Hi hun I'm getting them too 1 week after you...will be following ur journey. Can't wait to see ur results. I'm also a shorty and weigh 105... I'm at 119 now ugh disgusted at myself for is the second time I put on weight trying to get my butt to look good. Had bbl last year but it was disappointing and waste of $. When u don't have more than 30lb 4 doc to work with bbl is not worth it. You making the right choice going with implants right way. Good luck! I'll be praying for u! Your body is very athletic and u have muscle toning n u r going to look amazing! Can't wait to see the post op pics =)

Oh ok. How are you gaining the weight? I stopped working out and just eat whatever I want.

hey another RS sister needed to gain weight (just like myself - 5'3ish @ 116lbs) . if you are doing Ensure do Ensure plus and take it with your meals not as a meal replacement. and take a whey protrein (w/o creatine). I take a shake in the morning, my 3 ensure with my meals, and 30-40mins before bed another shake (this time mixed with ice cream). I have a hard time gaining weight not to mention keeping the weight but this helped me gain and keep 4lbs in one month. I look good at 120-5ish so im trying to gain about 15-20lbs over my ideal weight. I will be scheduling my sx a lil ways out though, since yours is a lil soon this may not be as beneficial to you. ..good luck with everything love and keep us posted.

Thanks so much for this. Hopefully I can gain at least 20 lbs

Its been a real challenge for me to gain or keep the weight on bc I work 6 days/8hrs shift with merely 1 brk of 1 hr. My work is very physical and I burn a lot of calories so I got as far as 120 and just trying not to loose any untill June 24. Hopefully it will be enough to round up my hips and fill in the bottom part of my booty. The implant should take care of the projection this time. I stopped working out 8 mts ago and not even that has helped much :(

how much are you looking to gain? Im mil and cucurrently deployed 6 days/12hrs shift. at the least I would recommend protein mixed with ice cream right before bed....leaving no time to burn off the cals. also snack as much as you can throughout the day but try to make it healthy high cal snaxks.

Thanks for the tips I have tried ensure but it makes me nauseous. I eat Ice cream at bedtime too but will try it on shake. I only have 18 days left so maybe it will add a few more pounds.

Oh wow. Can't wait to see your results. It's so exciting. Where are you staying to recover?
June 9, 2014
are you getting round or oval? He suggested oval for me but I thought round give more projection.
User Avatar
June 9, 2014
Round for 2 reasons: my butt is short and I want to keep it short just have projection. And for the risk of the implants turning/shifting oval would change the shape and symmetry of the booty and sometimes even replacement if dr can't put it back in place from the outside. Round has no edges so no changes if it turns or shifts.

User Avatar

No, actually he said round right away... He tried to talk me out of implants thou saying if I gained 25 lb he would give me what I wanted but I had my mind already set up
June 10, 2014
