The Beginning of My Journey

Hey guys! So on 1/29/18 I checked into the hospital and on 1/30/18 I had my gall bladder removed. I’m a little annoyed because I ended up with a seroma right next to my navel but IDC much because I knownIm going to have a tummy tuck soon so that will get rid of it. Anyway— getting my gall bladder removed was not too bad— it’s the fact that all my eating habits have, once again, changed and it’s taking some getting used to. In the meantime as a result of having to alter my eating habits again, I have lost an addition 4lbs. I think it’s related to the simple fact that I just can’t figure out what to eat and also because of the crazy amount of diarrhea I have when I do eat something not good for me. When you have your gall bladder removed you can eat anything too high in fat. Not eating high fat foods wasn’t really a big deal for me because it’s kind of the same deal with RNY— only the emphasis on low fat is more extreme— it’s more like NO fat whereas when you get an RNY you can have a little fat but just not too much. But the other day I ate boiled spaghetti with plain tomatoe sauce and added some salt and parsley and can you believe that made my stomach cramp and bought on diarrhea?! Who knew! Anyway— I’m back on the hunt looking for a plastic surgeon who can give me my ideal body. Right now, I have decided that The first procedures I want to have done are a tummy tuck, and breast aug with lift. I will keep you guys posted. Anyway— here are photos of me at 123lbs

So, I’m a little disappointed... I was finally cleared to proceed with plastic surgery in March and then WHAM! My sneaky little sac of bile, my gall bladder, became inflamed and is full of stones. I could not be more disappointed. Here I am trying to narrow down which plastic surgery to get done first and now I’m faced with having to get my gall bladder removed and I’m unsure of how big of a monkey wrench this may throw in my plastic surgery plans. I am hoping that I can get this over with sometime at the end of January and begin getting plastic surgery by the end of February. I will keep you updated.

So, guess what— In alive! Woot woot! I have lost a total of 141lbs and I’m now 127lbs. Not upset about it AT ALL! Actually just worried about when the weight loss will stop. I am 5’5, medium frame— don’t want to look like a bag of bones walking around :-S
I am at a little bit of a crossroad right now because of the traumatizing experience of having surgery go wrong before (see my previous posts). The thing is, I have lost 141lbs (let that sink in— that’s A LOT of weight) in the space of 13 months, so I have sooo much loose skin and I’m a little self conscious about it. Summer is coming and this summer will be the first summer in a very long time that I will be at my ideal body weight and I live in Miami, I want to look my best! I definitely need brachioplasty, a lower body lift, skin removal on my stomach, a tummy tuck, a little Lipo to shape my waist and a breast augmentation with lift. I NEED it but I’m really nervous about it. I’m scheduling consultations to get recommendations. Anyway, let me post photos of myself at 127lbs.
