So the other day I went to the doctors and they weighed me (by the way I have no scale At home) and I found out I am now 12 pounds heavier which makes me 206lbs WHAT!? Well I must say I am not shocked because I have been eating willynilly lately n I think ots partly due to me feeling down lately because because I havent left my house much since having my third child and my boyfriend and father of my kids doesnt support me having this surgery. I dont work so I really need his finacial backing for me to do this. Anywho Im just going to waite for my income taxes to come in next year and thats how I will get it done by then I will be working and will be able to parcially finance this procedure. I dont care if he doesnt want me to do this this is for me not him. Sorry to digress anyway befor I havd my 2nd child I was a vegan and found that while I was pregnant I hated the smell and taste of vegetables and fruits so I went back to eating meat which made me over weight and since then I have been eating very unhealthy Im the type of person who believes what you ingest can impact the way you look and feel so I have gone back to being a vegetarian first and then slowly transition back to veganism (cheese has a stronger hold on me than I thought lol). I will also buy a scale so that I can weigh myself once a month. Im 5'9 and technically my average is supposed to be 145lbs and although I have been that size befor I dont like it Its a lil too small for my liking I'd like to get down to 160 for the surgery. Although this dream is still a dream for me listening to you guys stories gives me hope and motivation to make this happen.Thank you guys so much! Plan WILL get done :) thanks for listening.

Vegetarian helps my hair, skin and overall well being. Be sure to eat a variety of veggies. Sounds like u know what works.

I'd like to think so lol. I hear people saying all the time on here that theres alot of vitamins that you have to take befor surgery but I've been taking vitamins most my life so that should be a cake walk for me lol. And I used to be a raw vegan (meaning I only ate raw fruits and veggies) and boy was it the greatest thing to ever happen my hair, skin nails, weight and overall health. Im tryinh to work myself back to that

Hey lovely bbl gals, I know I havent updated in forever and thats because since I had my baby I have been overwhelmed as a stay at home mother of 3. I did loose alot of baby weight because I went from 226 lbs to 196 lbs but that all came off naturally. Im not at the weight I'd like to be before I decide to have my surgery. I have been through alot since having my 3 child. i never had any problems with my health before but since havin my last son I been having blood pressure issues, I was in ICU for 3 days due to my blood pressure being so high. My doctor perscribed meds for me to take since he thinks its pregnancy related and doesnt believe its going to be an ongoing problem but I hope that thos doesnt hinder me from having my surgery done. I have to more months before it is deemed safe to have cosmetic surgery after having a baby. I also no longer wish to go with Salama anymore because he isnt really giving the results that is right for me which is crazy because I live in North Miami Beach which is 2 mins away from Aventura where his office is located. Instead, I have decided to go with Dr. Jimmerson in Suwannee, GA because his results is what I want plus he sculps hips and it looks so natural. I dont have a date set yet because I need to get all my ducks in a row first before I can make my first move. It may take a while but I will get my dream body .

If anyone knows the name of the woman in my profile pic let me know. She has my ideal body and I was trying to look her up but couldnt find her for the life of me. Its also the 7th pic in my set of pictures. Thats the pic I'd like to show Dr. S when I go in for my procedure n I'd like to have different angles of her body. All I know is that the picture came from Mediatakeout thats all but when I went to mediatatkeout I couldnt find it at all. If anyone has a clue let me know

@SandyCandy, I don't get how you can wait until January. I'm super excited for October and that seems like it is sooo far away. I don't know how I am going to make it. I guess you at least have your beautiful baby to focus on. No kids here. Hubby and I are considering having one in 4-5 yrs. We want to enjoy my new body first.

Girl its killin me. Everyday I come on RS and see all the beautiful woman getting their dream bodies and Im like damn, I have to waite all the way till 2013 but I guess I have no other choice cause its the rule U MUST WAITE 6 MONTHS BE FORE HAVING PLASTIC SURGERY so to kill time im going to be focusing on my new bundle of joy and loosing the baby fat and getting back down to my ideal size before surgery and 6months is ample time. Im trying to get my body back in the shape u see me in that club picture. Currently im as big as a house which u see me in that 6th picture. But Im not gonna lie, u guys got me jealous lol
