Hello Dolls! I'm scheduled to have surgery with dr...
WORTH IT$7,800
Hello Dolls! I'm scheduled to have surgery with dr. Mel Ortega on the 10th of March. I am getting a breast lift / saline implants and an extended tummy tuck. I'm very excited and nervous. So far I have had contact with my coordinator Candace through phone calls and via text. Candace is nice and gets back to me soon. So so far so good. I'm trying to lose 10 pounds before the actual surgery. Does anyone have any good ideas about how to lose weight if you have 7 weeks to do it?

Dream body = sheding 10-15 pd! I can do it!
Today in stay at home mom world, I have to run the kids around school and parent conference. So I may not have time to work out. But I will work out every other day of the week. So thats 6 works per week. I think thats good. No carbs! Last night I had baked fish and shrimp for dinner with collard greens. I'm going put fruit in my water! Thanks for the idea!

Do you have medi weight loss centers near you? These last two months before my surgery I've used them. I've lost 9 pounds this last month and my goal is 10 this month before surgery. The RN prescribes me Phentermine. It's an appetite suppressant and it WORKS! I'm on 1200 Cals a day (no carbs, tons of greens, and at LEAST 100 oz water). I feel so tiny. I also get B-12 injections on my butt. Great system. I've also heard from friends they go to they're primary doctor and ask for an appetite suppressant and tell them they are seriously trying to lose weight.

Hum yeah a friend of mine did it before, but I am going to stick to lots of high intensity exercise, clean eating, and drinking ~132 oz (or 1 gallon) of water per day

P.S. I'm at stay at home mom too for the last four years. It's been hard learning to find a system that works for me in regards to working out and foods (because my kids need carbs)... I workout 4x a week (my gym has childcare), before I hurt my back

Yes I so understand. After working out for year I discovered that I could not overcome the old tummy or saggy breasts. I decided that this is something I needed to do as a form of self care. It would be nice to see some abs, right lol. So it was an thunderbolt moment when I realized that a MMO would help get over the final hump. I am anxious but resigned to go through with it.

You can do it! Two months ago I started out at 168 pounds and I'm 5'4! Granted, I weight lift so I have a lot of muscle built in my legs but waist up its flabby. I'm down to 158 pounds! Dedication! You're spending a lot of money on this surgery...make every penny count! (At least that's my mind set!)

Yeah I lift weights too. It's my core that I can't change. So iniped my cardio. I lost 3 pd last week. I think lifting weights adds muscle weight. So i'm lifting 1 per week. It's seems to be working. Also cutbout all carbs. I want to be 145 or 150 for surgery. I'm 5'5. Hum the struggle is real.

Weight lifting definitely adds weight to the scale. I don't pay much attention to the scale but it does feel good when that number goes down. Cardio is key to weight loss. Cycling has really helped me.
