So my surgery is weeks away! It's Monday, February 24th, and I have decided to go with Dr. Bruno! I have been looking at getting a BBL for over 2 years now, and now it's finally going to happen, I'm ready to do it:) ... Why now? I told myself that this year there is no room for complaining about my life, if there's anything I want to do, or change (if it will make ME happy) then do it!

Currently all of my friends are telling me not to do it and I already have a butt. But to me, I don't have enough projection, or hips, I want more butt! Lol ;) I don't want anything cartoonish but at the same time I want people to be able to notice something is different!

How I chose Dr. Bruno -
I almost went with a surgeon in Miami, because it's the city of curvy women and big butts! Lol so I figured this surgery is nothing new and they have mastered it. But I decided healing in another city I do not live in was not a smart Idea, so I decided to go with a doctor in LA. (I have previously had a consultation with Bruno but for a breast aug, so I did see that he does BBLs) I went to another doctor and didn't get the right vibe from him I felt like a $ sign, everything was rushed, I even felt the pressure to put a down payment down when I even made it known I hadn't seen any other doctor in LA yet for a consultation. Then I had an actual bbl consultation with Dr. Bruno. I'm just very comfortable with him, he's honest. His team in the office is also so great, they always get back and have an answer. His method is to use "pure fat" so he won't inject all of the extra liquids... If you look at his gallery on his site you can tell he's "neat" with his work, it doesn't look sloppy. (Previous doctor I went to see in LA His work wasn't impressive to me)

at my consultation with Dr. Bruno I had already started gaining weight I had gained about 10lbs and Dr. Bruno had asked for another 10lbs.

So right now I'm having a hard time with gaining with extra 10lbs, I eat all through out the day, and even bought "ensure" to help, they are 350 calorie shakes, so I drink them about an hour after I ate - so like 3x a day. I'm hoping and am sure that the weight will pile on within the next week, I'm sure it just takes time.

Well can't wait to update.
I've added pics of my current body.

Is my surgery!! Yay! I'm so excited!

Sooo as far as my weight gain.. I'm seeing a difference, my stomach has gotten bigger and especially my thighs, they definitely rub as I walk, and I hate it! I just keep telling myself not much longer, this weight is killing me, I feel so big :( !!! Oh yah and I have my breasts done and I've noticed that they are getting huge themselves! But my boobs have always fluctuated with my weight, but right now I wouldn't be surprised if they are triple Ds! :( I'm just really hating this. I don't want to even be social because I'm so uncomfortable with my weight gain.

Update on the Ensure Plus Shakes- they have helped so much! If it wasn't for the ensures I drink (3 a day) I'm sure I wouldn't be gaining the weight, I'm just having a difficult time eating, and my appetite is no good. I've been eating junk for about 50 days now, and that's too long for me since I do eat healthy normally.

Anyways thought I'd update. I also have my blood test by Wednesday.

Anyways keep you all updated!

Omg I know exactly how you feel! X,[ I've been eatin for about the same amount of time. From eating semi healthy and working out a minimum of 3x a week, to no working out and eating complete crap. I've gained about 20lbs. It feels awful. And like you, I don't even want to go out anymore, can't fit any of my clothes, and don't want to be seen by my family. :( it sucks. We're almost there though sister. I just want it over with and let the healing begin.

Hi I just had my consult with dr bruno and he told me to also gain about 10-15 pounds. How did you do it? What is your current height and weight? Good luck with your surgery!

I am 5'8" I used to be 145, I am now 165 day before surgery. I drink the "Ensure plus" shakes. Make sure to get "plus" they are for gaining weight. Drink 3-4 of them a day, in between whatever else you are eating. And I think it says you should go more than 5 hours of not eating.
