Had a consultation this morning for my upcoming surgery. I've been wanting to do this for several years but it seems like something always got in the way. I'm excited to finally have something booked. Really looking forward to this. I really like the doctor that I've chosen and feel good about moving forward with everything.

The details....
The plan is to have two separate surgeries. The first one will include the following: a breast lift/augmentation with a small reduction of my own tissue, tummy tuck and liposuction of my bra roll area, flanks and tummy. The second surgery will be a few weeks a after my first surgery and will include circumferential thigh liposuction. Honestly, I think I'm more excited about the first surgery. I think it has the potential to make me look better than the second surgery does. I need to make the most of this next 93 days. Currently, I work out at Orange theory fitness 6 days a week. I was doing personal training three days a week prior to that but- wasn't getting the great results. I schedule all of my workouts as far as possible in advance. I feel like it really helps me to stay focused and eat better when I have them every morning. Dr. Yates suggested that for me to have the best results possible losing a few pounds before surgery would help. That is what I'm trying to do. Eyes on the prize. I will post some current pictures in the next day or so.

Thank you for sharing your story with this community. How much weight are you trying to lose?

I am excited for you! You are in great hands. How do you like orange theory? How does it work? Is it just for weight loss or are there strength building programs? Best wishes!

I love Orange Theory! The program is both for weight loss and strength building. Every workout is different, because they change it up every day, but some things remain the same. The workouts all contain portions of weight floor, rowers and treadmills... The exercises change every day. Half of it is pretty much a HIIT style workout. You should go try to work out, they let you try it twice for free. Somehow they make working out really fun. I love the environment and I really like the trainers. Thanks so much for checking in and letting me know that I am in good hands :)

Dr. Y did my breast augmentation. I LOVE my results. I am tentatively planning to go back for abdominal lipo (baring some work out related miracle) so I'll be extra excited to hear how that part of your journey goes. :)
I'll have to check out orange theory. There is one ~10 minutes from my house. I am already a member at a different facility but I am not in love with the emphasis on cardio. I am more interested in building muscle than losing weight. Thanks again for the info and good luck!

The focus really isn't on cardio at orange theory although you do get some in every workout. I had been working out with a trainer 3x per week before I started, I only had minimal results with her program. My body has become firmer and tighter since OT. I'd say cardio is maybe 15-20 minutes while the rest of the hour is strength training, lots of reps. Just use heavier weights during the exercises if you want to build muscle.

So excited for you!! I have my MMO scheduled for October and can't wait! I also just started working out at OTF and love it! Was there a reason you are trying to lose weight before your surgery? I'm wondering because my weight fluctuates between 130-135 and am curious to see if it's best to get in the best shape possible before a TT? I also have a square shape and looking forward to a defined waist :D
June 28, 2016
Yes I wanted to be in my best shape possible for a couple of reasons. I felt like it would give me the best results for a tummy tuck and breast job and I also wanted to see what I could achieve on my own. I love OTF I'm like addicted, honestly not being able to go to workouts during my recovery is going to be hard. I'm really going to miss it! Less than ten days to go now so I'm getting a little nervous. My pre op is tomorrow so I'll post more soon :)

Working on weight loss
As I mentioned in my prior post I've been working on weight loss. Since the beginning of 2016 I've lost 11 pounds and I'm working on trying to lose 10 more before surgery. 65 days left so I'm trying to make them all count.

I ended up going to doctor Yates in Layton and I looooove my results.
