SX Date Postponed

Good morning ladies... so unfortunately I had to postpone my trip. My new date for surgery is Friday, March 11th, 2016. I feel bad for everyone that is following me and waiting for my results with Dr. Rios but I don't feel healthy enough to go into surgery. I want to get in as many workouts and build up my stamina as much as possible before I go into surgery. I've joined a new gym which is much closer to me in proximity which will make it easier to access and I've hired a personal trainer. I have exactly 7 weeks & 6 days to lose as much weight as possible. I've already been there 4x mainly for cardio, and with all the weight I've gained and as out of shape as I am I was surprised how well I did. My trainer knows EVERYTHING and she isn't judging me at all, she's supportive of the surgery and everything else, although she had me squatting deep the other day and my ass has been on FIRE since then lol. Idk if it's because of the actual squats or because of the silicone or the combination of the both but I def haven't been able to sit my whole shift at my office job... so I told her no more squats for now lol ....

Your new sx date is a day before my birthday! I'm going to send u a lot of love and positive energy. I want u to have a successful SX and get your health back. I'm more concerned with you not being in any more pain than I am about seeing you with the perfect butt. You've suffered enough.

Hello, I've been following you and wonder where you are and what you're up to? I admire you for going through all this suffering. I too had the silicone injections but I had it done in my face! Lips and cheeks. I have red rashes everyday and hot spots as well. I've been looking for a Dr. to take this out but mostly find injections done in the butt. Do you know of a Dr. that takes out silicone from the face? I really appreciate any advice that you have. We have to have faith that someone will help us get this poison out....

Did your doctor tell hard working before sx is not good, you can lose weight by changing you diet or over all changing your dates, you look on the board of plastic sx site and your see for your self. I lost 15 pounds before sx in 30 days using fusion bariactric protein and menu it's for people who has to loose weight before lap band sx !

I stopped the protein shakes 2 weeks before sx. Hopefully this helps!

Why is working out bad before surgery?
January 15, 2016
@MLATC...How long have u been using the bariatric fusion protein and menu? What's your favorite protein flavor? Where can I get the menu? I hope u don't mind me asking.

Too much or too strenuous exercise can be dangerous, and can compromise the results of your surgery.
Do not exercise too intensely too soon—which raises your heart rate and potentially your blood pressure. This can cause excessive swelling and impair healing. After sx. If you not in the best physical shape you should not rush it a short time before sx. But light cardio to a build up
And diet change will help you heal better. I used the vanilla , and I added fruit to it to give me different flavors, it comes with a menu. I ordered it from diet direct. I only used it 30 days and stopped two weeks before sx.

Hey MLATC, no he didn't, but that's good to know. I never thought of that (over working my body at the gym).. I will def keep that in mind! I'm def focusing more on my diet. Thanks for the advice!
February 25, 2016
Thx for the info MLATC. I really appreciate it.
January 15, 2016
I really respect your decision...I've always made impulsive decisions based on instant gratification, and it's gotten me into trouble. If I could go back in time, I'd never have any of these procedures/surgeries (but that's another story lol) Anyway, very proud of you, keep up the good work!

Thank you for sharing your story. Many people don't understand why women become anxious and depressed about their appearance. You are not alone. Don't give up, keep working hard and remember that weight loss is mostly about diet. You have to cut down to 1200 calories a day and eliminate sugary and high carb foods. Keep us updated. We're rooting for you!
February 25, 2016
I'm getting anxious for u. Your date is approaching. Don't forget to give us a heads up before you leave.
February 26, 2016
Me too!! I'm leaving in 5 days

Cardiologist Part 2 / Pre -Op Prepping

User Avatar
Cici_sexcii88
So after weeks of trying to get an appointment with the cardiologist, I finally was able to schedule an echo & stress test. Unfortunately it's really close to my departure date... so I'm hoping everything is fine. It would've been scheduled earlier if my 7 voicemails weren't discarded from 11/19/15, but can't blame the past now. My heart beat rushes sometimes and it scares me since I've been reading about this happening with a few girls post op... I know I'm thinking the worse, but I just have to be positive and it'll calm my nerves once I go get a professional's assessment. I'm thinking it's just from the weight gain and all the stress!

My job is also taking it's toll on me...it's hard working in a factory with a lot of nosey people. A lot of hard work makes it hard on my joints. I also think I have carpel tunnel now, my wrist out of nowhere has started cracking and I'm getting sharp pains like pins and needles at my desk job. but it affects me at the part time factory job too. I luckily got FMLA approved but I really wish I could take the next few weeks off from my part time job BEFORE my SX... my body just needs to chill out! I bought some massages through Groupon... hopefully this will help me relax. My body always feels so tense, so I'm hoping it'll relax my muscles and me! I'll let you girls know how it goes and the results from the cardiologist.

Happy New Years '16 - To All my Dolls <3

Happy New Years to all!! Let's make 2016 a start to a new chapter of health and well being! We have all gone through so much just to achieve the perfect standards of beauty for ourselves, it's truly amazing what we put our bodies through. We have all come so far, and although I feel like giving up on a daily basis, I am not going to let this poison kill my vibe! I've lived in a lot of FEAR the last 9 years and the last 2 years of the 9 I have been in pain... but these last 3 months I seriously feel like I am dying. Physically my body sometimes just feels like it's shutting down on me. But I am NOT giving up on myself, I've made it this far, and all of you ladies have made it this far too. There is hope! We just have to think positive. "What we think we create. What we feels, we attract, What we imagine, we become!" (unknown)
