SX 5 Weeks From Tomorrow! weight gain and IG account hacked!

Hey all!

So I know its been a few weeks since my last update but there wasn't very much going on besides the usual stalking and lurking. Well, now that I'm closer to my date I began ordering supplies. I've got all my post-op vitamins, personal hygiene items, and my curvecure mattress. I feel pretty prepared seeing as though I'm getting my garment, foams (I believe) and socks from Dr. B. I plan to buy a stage 2 garment when I get to Miami so I'm sure to purchase the proper fit. I also have to purchase my compression sleeves (decided to add arm lipo for a more proportionate look) when I arrive but I'll be in Miami two days prior to surgery to gather up a few last minute items.

So when I booked, Melissa, my surgical coordinator, told me to gain 5lbs for optimal results. I was reluctant to do so at first but after speaking with her again and getting the opinions of a few sx sisters I decided to go ahead and do it. I normally only drink water or fresh pressed juices and try to avoid processed foods but for the past few weeks I've been consuming WHATEVER and I must say, it worked! I'm up to around 162. I'm gonna try and hold at this weight for another 5 weeks. I must admit, the closer I get to my date -- the bigger I'm considering going! I always stressed that I wanted something natural and although I still don't want va-va-vixen results, I don't wanna have to spend another $8000 on a few extra CC's. So I've added a few new wish pics of desired results.

Lastly, I created an SX IG page as another source of information (and a way to obsess lol) but it was hacked by some weird [RS bleep] spam site. Super annoying but if you were following me come kick it on the new page! @CosmicSiren83116

In non-related SX news, my boyfriend and I welcomed a new puppy on our anniversary. He's quite the handful but he's definitely helping with the wait for sx. Showing him the ropes keeps me occupied and off social media lol.

Well that seems to be all I can think of for now.

Til next time, loves!

Balance Paid!

Hey ladies!

So it seems as if this summer is going to fly by! I can't believe we're almost half way through June!

So many wonderful things have been happening and I' so excited for this time in my life. I'm moving into my dream loft with my dream guy and I've started a personal concierge service with my best friend! Now all I'm waiting for is my dream puppy (arriving mid-July!) and ultimately, my dream body! This year is certainly one of transformation. I am so happy and so grateful that I've been blessed with the life I've always desired, and it's only getting better! DREAM BIG, ladies! Always! Anything we want in this universe is ours, we simply need to ask for it then reach out and grab it when we see it present itself. Don't let anyone every tell you what you can and cannot have. Their journey and experience is not yours and if there's something burning in your spirit, go for it!! It's scary but I think if there's one thing we learn from this site its to do what makes us happy regardless of what the non-believers may think.

Seeing as though the days are flying by, I decided to contact Melissa with the remaining balance of my SX (before I spent it on something else, lol). I had initially planned to wait until closer to the date to submit final payment but I think my only reservations came from horror stories about Vanity taking people's money, promising them a date only for the doctor to be suspended or take "leave" ... but seeing as though I'm going with Dr. Blinski, who's team is nothing short of amazing, I feel confident in my decision to just take care of the balance.

Also, as I'm getting closer to my date, I need new ways to stalk and obsess so I've caved in and created an SX IG. Feel free to follow for photo updates!

That's pretty much it this go around. still slowly supply shopping but that's about it.

Happy healing, Happy searching...

In light and in love,
CosmicSiren

I have to do WHAT?!

Hey folks! I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable holiday. So Melissa reached out to me a few days ago and asked for me to send photos of myself. I quickly obliged and got an equally fast response from her indicating to me that I actually need to GAIN weight! She said only 5 lbs but I never in a million years would've thought that I would be one of the ladies that would have to gain weight to obtain desired results. I like my current weight and size now and I think that I'm only this thin because I've been bouncing around from place to place and also under a great deal of stress. I'm pretty sure once I settle into my new place in a few days and get back into my routine I'll return to my normal resting weight of about 160-165. So, I'm not gonna get carried away with the packing on pounds just yet! But who can complain about an extra dessert here and there ;) ... In other news, me and my BF the grouch had a brief stint where we weren't seeing eye to eye about issues entirely unrelated to this procedure but in that time I decided that I'm not mentioning anything to him about having work done. Bad girl, I know, but this is a personal decision and the only people who I've told about it are the people who are coming with me to Miami. Seeing as though he's not one of those people he can wait for the grand reveal just like everyone else who wasn't with me shootin' in the gym. Besides, like I may or may not have mentioned before, he makes most of his decisions on his own. This man went and bought a BOAT without saying a word to me about it! So yea, not to be spiteful, I just don't see why I need to mention anything to him about it at this point, lol. In cooler news, I took a que from Skyy from Black Ink and booked a house for me and all my friends that I've invited down to come wait on my every need, lol. We'll be in Miami for Labor Day weekend so it wasn't hard luring them in >=] ... My mom, two of my best friends EVER, and another close friend are all headed down for what is now turning into a booty bash! I'm so stoked. I have to stop myself from thinking about how much fun we're gonna have otherwise I get anxious and impatient, lol. Being surrounded by my favorite people and their wonderful positive energy is surely to assist in a speedy recovery. I'm a budding herbalist and mainly vegetarian and only eat organic/non-GMO foods (makes a WORLD of difference to your body!). In the few days before SX I plan on making a bunch of tonics and tinctures to aid with healing in addition to plenty of FRESH FRUITS and LEAFY GREENS. When your body is healing it does so more efficiently when it has better tools to rebuild with. I'm staying in Miami from the 8/29-9/12 (The NY'er in me, I refuse to fly on 9/11) so hopefully I'll be up and moving by my last few days and can see some of the city before I return home. With my regimen of healthy meals I'm hoping I'll be able to forgo taking synthetic vitamins post-op. I submitted all my pre-op paperwork and am just waiting until closer to the date to submit the balance. God forbid something happens and I wind up choosing not to go thru with it, I don't wanna go thru hell trying to get a refund. I have up until two weeks before my sx date to pay so I'll probably wait until I'm a month out. Other than that, that's all I can think of. I'm gonna start ordering my supplies once I move into my new place. For now the list consists of: 1 additional garment (Thinking Disenos de prada or something with butt-mesh like Leonisa [I actually handled their PR a few years ago, had I known then that I'd be having this procedure I would've grabbed all the samples I could get my hands on!]) 1 tube arnica gel 1 pack arnica pills 1 Curvecure recovery set (mattress and chair cushion, I need to be able to lay on my back!) 1 pack baby wipes (Do I need more than this?) 1 Lipo ab board 2 packs lipo foam (3 to a pack, would I need more than this or do you reuse them?) 1 Bottle Hibiclens 1 Pee funnel 1 Juicer (for fresh pressed fruit/veg juice, mmm pineapple!) 1 pack maxi pads 1 pack wee wee pads I'm sure there's a bunch I forgot. Feel free to comment if you know of anything you absolutely could not do without post-op! I know a lot of ladies over pack and I don't see very many of Dr. Blinski's women bleeding excessively so idk if I'll need much more than a pack each of everything but if you know for sure this ain't cuttin' it, once again, please let me know! Well all, I wish you happy healing, hoping, and searching. Until the next time! -CS
