First and far most I would like to thank RS, and my RS sister AssAss for all the encouragement and support for my endeavors. Now, for the real deal!!! I am sick of my stomach being in my lap....it is not cute at all. I have always been a plus size beautiful thick girl...so it has been expressed to me. Anyhoot, we all have a vision of how we want to see ourselves, so a co-worker told me about this site (far too late for herself after many bbl procedures). Nevertheless, I researched several plastic surgeons before choosing the right one for me, Jimerson in ATL, Dr. Miami, Dr. Mendita, and Dr. Hassan. All with great reviews.....however one stood out the most which was Dr. Fatima Almonte. Her assistant Lesley is on point!!!! So, I chose Dr. Fatima Almonte to help me look the way I feel. My surgery date is set for November 7, 2016. I want the 3rd but its all good. I will post pictures of my journey later. Thanks RS and my fellow sista AssAss!!!????

I'm going with her as well. I'll be following your journey! I'm sending my funds next week to book a November date. Lesley gave me the few that's left I hope I do catch it. I would hate to be in dr for December! :)

I will purchase my ticket this weekend.....been procrastinating due to so many daily things happening in my world nevertheless Nov can't get here fast enough for me!!!! Oh how long were you plan on staying? I was planning on staying longer than my ten days; like until the 21st or 28th. What airline did you book with?CG

I swim an hour a day (five days)...I live in florida, so thats do able. I was walking but my knee is not in the best shape. I also take this pills from the GNC store " CLA" there yellow gel pills by Censor and I have a co worker who is a nutritionist who prepares my meals everyday for me. My weight whennI first started looking was 266 this was October 2015....now Im at 215. I do protein shakes with avocodos, cucumbers, blueberries....or strawberries for breakfast and night snakes. Thats it.

So serious about my weight loss...

I have to continue with my change of eating habits even on the weekend. I pack my lunch and freeze my smoothie to take with me.My husband thinks I've lost my mind!!! This is a forever change because even after the mircale Dr. Almonte creates, my eating habits have to stay the same and my worker out. Right now I only swim. I have a bad knee so I walk only when necessary. I can't wait to post my pictures from the very beginning of my journey.
