Hello to all my fellow RealSelf people,
I would first and foremost like to thank you all for all the knowledge, dedication and tips you all contribute to this website. It has made my experience much more knowledgeable and thorough. To start off, I had my initial consultation with Dr. Schulman on January 29, 2014 for a BBL procedure. The best part of this consultation was how comfortable Dr. S made both my husband and myself feel. Dr. S is very patient and answers all questions one may have. I am beyond excited to announce that I have finally scheduled my surgery date with Dr. Schulman for Tuesday, May 20, 2014. To give you all a little insight of myself, I am a 5'8 Ht., 28-year-old Latina female who originally weighed 231 Lbs. I currently weight 220 Lbs. Dr. S has instructed to be under 200 Lbs. before surgery for best results, however my personal goal is to be under 180 Lbs. (high school weight…lol). One of the toughest things that I have had to go through since scheduling this surgery is to change my eating and exercising habits. I am a plus size woman and therefore have to take that extra steps to get the best ending results. I can’t wait to share my experience with you all, pictures of my current frame to follow.

As I previously mentioned, I need to be under 200 pounds for best results. (I am 5'8 in height) Loosing weight has been a mission, my eating habits have been changed and I'm at the gym at least 4 x a week. I have approximately 9 weeks before my surgery. Any advice from any ladies that needed to loose 20 pounds or so before surgery ? I would greatly appreciate it.

Welcome a board the Schulman Big Booty Train :)) loveee how you started your review....of course everyone's body is different relative to weight loss......How I knocked off 20 pounds before surgery was through low carb eating--plenty green vegetables/low carb veggies and good quality protein like baked/grilled chicken, sea food, lean beef.....ate breakfast every morning to not throw off the metabolism....for example 1 whole egg and 1 egg white scrambled with a little cheese, spinach or a little broccoli, etc. and rolled up in a Cedar' s Whole Wheat Wrap (5 net carbs), I stayed away from milk.....The only fruit I ate were berries (lower in carb)--I drank no juices or sugar-flavored sodas....only water and treated myself to a Splenda sweetened soda like my fav-"Sparkling Ice-Orange Mango"-zero calories--no bitter after taste.

Thank you!!! I'm really looking forward to it, and this website has been so beyond helpful and informative. I love getting updates that sometimes the doctor or nurses don't tell you, like using the bathroom or how to hide it from coworkers, lol... But I am excited, can't wait to see your profile.

Just a quick update, I have been working very hard at the gym. I also cut soda and candy :-( .... But I have lost 13 pounds :-) !!!! thank you to all the ladies for the updates and information, this would be such a difficult transformation if it wasn't for "graduated" sisters on the "other side" of the booty... Can't wait to start buying supplies and vitamins
