In full effect yal!!!! I have been lurking on RS for a while now. And after soooo much research and reading countless emails and speaking to several doctors, i can say i am Officially booked!!! June 14th it is going down In the DR (<< LOL). Woot woot. Dr.Maikel L. Jimenez Ferreras for a TT, Lipo of the arms, stomach, full back and inner things. Price includes the RH (Tropical Recovery Deluxe, with Ms.Ruth). Sent my deposit in last week. Hope to get a surgery buddy if not I'm going alone, my best friend just got knocked up and aint finished cooking until May, so i aint waiting another year for her to finish breast feeding and crap I'm trine be snatch for my 29th birthday in September. (Virgo baby!!!) I told her i would wait to get my boobs down with her.

So a little about me i am 28, 1 son (2 yrs old going on 25) i am a nurse, I am originally from NYC but moved to Orlando FL in 2012. It was a spontaneous move as i had a lot of friends here but i got knocked up and all my friends took jobs that caused them to move away ( like flight attendants in stuff like that) So i was alone and pregnant (Sons father is here but yal i would need to write a book to explain my man drama lol)

Anyway i was a teen model back in the day, ya know slim thick kinda thing, got on the Depo shot and i blew up like a blimp, pair that with working at Mcdonalds and next i knew i was huge. before pregnancy i was 256, after pregnancy i was 298.... After the 1st year post baby i thought the weight would come off, i was breast feeding and everything.. sike, my body was like nah chick you staying at 281.... Then i got depressed and aint wanna do nothing. Finally i was like i need to make some moves. I signed up for planet fitness and try to go 3 times a week, but its more like 1 time away due to working 2 jobs, i own a small soap making business, the toddler, and I'm back in school needless to say i am booked. In December i found a Groupon for a weight loss clinic in my area. And started in the beginning of the year. I was prescribed Phentermine (appetite suppessent), a carb inhibitor, some vitamins and a Lipotropic/B12 injection. Weekly check ins and 7 weeks later i am now 264. I had a series of ups and downs due to me working night shift and being so busy but I'm losing about 2 pounds a week. Some weeks are harder then others but I'm in this to win it. 2 weeks ago i added in a weight training vest with aboloene wrap, i wear this combo at work and sometimes when i sleep. I was a size 22 jeans 4 weeks ago i can now get into my old 18 jean (talk about winning!!!) Im down 10.5 inches overall in body measurements. I have 1 week left in my 8 weeks before i take a break from the Phentermine. Then on March 24th i start again with this time with Phentermine and HCG injections, Super eager to see how this all plays out. I want to lose 40 pounds by June. I overall healthy no medical issues but i am anemic. Taking my iron daily and i have a closet full of Geritol and Blood builders ready to be added in the coming months if needed. Anyway i covered everything i could think of. Im embraced of my body so it will take some time to get pics up (Hell i didn't even want to send them to Dr. Ferreras lol) anyway I'm ready to be snatttcheddd huntiii!!!! Operation Snap Back is coming soon!!

I been using a prenatal vitamin, a multi Vitamin, Vitamin C & Geritol. I started with 3 bottled of Geritol i just finished bottle number 2 So at the end of Bottle 3 I'm going to check my Hemo, Then i am starting & switching to maintain my hemo- Blood Builders, PurAbsorb and ChlorOxygen drops. Geritol contains alcohol so i don't recommend using it long term until sx date. The ChlorOxygen drops are alcohol free and i heard good things about them. 2 -3 prior to sx i will check my hero again i will be adding in hemo building smoothies. I am Anemic so i run about 11.6 so i need to be on top of this as i am not trying to get sent home, and i need at least a 13 to have all of my procedures.

Work it out, Diva. I wish I had the cash to go with you and have this done! Prayers for you and your baby. My best advice (Virgo to Virgo, lol), is to keep your eyes on the end result, not TODAY. Just get through TODAY, and everyday, until your surgery. You can do it.
