I am fat yep.... I'm just gonna rock it and try to shape it. I have been on a waiting list for gastric bypass for 2 years. Sick of waiting. I want to be hot. No one wants to be gross. Researched my ass off and Dr Tom Pousti seems to be the only willing man in the world to tackle this great feat. Let's see if he really is my knight with a shiny scalpel. He seems lovely so far and I love Margie in the office. Hoping to fly from adelaide to California in October for my body exchange. Wish me luck!!

You're starting off with a great shape. You would be much happier if you dropped 30 pounds before your surgery though.

I agree. Any weight loss is good. First step is giving up soft drink. I am bad. I think it's my only eating problem honestly. Thank you

Yes. Not worth drinking your calories - juice included. I can tell by your curves that you may not even need surgery at all. You're starting off with a great canvas and the fact that you're comfortable with the selfies tells me your self confidence will take you far.

Yeah. I guess. I used to be really depressed and learnt to love myself again. I upper and lower laxity with skin. I do have a really loose tummy after to two babies. They were 9lb each. I was often asked if it was twins with my first pregnancy. I have always had great curves but yes, the weight would be better if I were 100lb lighter. I am doubtful it will happen unless I have the bypass. I would be happy with just cosmetic. If I have the bypass I'll need cosmetic for sure so either way my getting plastics. The bypass would be a bonus. Yes.... drinking like two glasses everyday.. my god I don't want to know how much sugar that is!! Blergh

Have you tried organic raw kombucha. Its by GTS, also some say Synergy on them. Its fermented tea and low cal. Its bubbly from the fermentation. I love it. Its like soda but super healthy. Its loaded probiotics. Might be a good switch from soda to get you where you want to be. :)

I'm going to echo one of the comments below and I hope my tone is encouraging and not taking as negative criticism because I'm totally excited for you to be starting this journey! I also feel that you would benefit from losing some weight prior to surgery. Strenghtening your legs will make a world of differenence in your recovery. I'm so envious of your breasts! We are the same height and your breasts sit nice and high! You've got a great shape and I admire that you aren't looking to be a skinny-chick and that you are embracing your curves. Lots of gals on this site have lost weight through diet and exercise so I hope you can use this platform as a tool to ask questions and gain knowledge from others experiences. You don't have to live on protein shakes and train for a marathon, but giving up soda and empty carbohydrates and taking daily walks will be a great jump start for you. Again, I hope you can "feel" the smile in my post and know that we are all here to support you. Keep us posted as you make your way through the next four months!

Aww thank you. That was a very well thought of and kind way to put it. The problem is I played soccer a lot. For over five years and the muscle I had basically turned to blubber. It's so hard to lose anything from my thighs and they have always been my problem area. Before I had kids my tummy would never store fat. So it was nice and flat. It went to my bum and thighs and breasts. After kids I got all this fat on my tummy and found it very distressing because my shape was so much different to what it was. I will be taking you advice and I will look into climbing some stairs. I have hyper mobility so my knees would thank me for the weight loss also. Thank you for you tact and kind words Xoxoxo

I can only agree with the comments below, you have a great shape already and who knows, if you could lose a little weight you might be happy without surgery? Just to let you know I do understand what you're going through, I'm having a gastric sleeve on Saturday. Have you considered a sleeve? I'm sure Dr Pousti will do an amazing job, I've read so many great reviews and he seems so compassionate but honest in his question answering. Ten teaspoons of sugar per can of soda, eek!! If you get as near as you can to a BMI of 35 you will really maximise your results. Swimming might be good with your hyper mobility. Good luck girl, whatever you decide. (Adore that wedding dress btw)

Thank you. I don't think weight loss alone will make me happy. I wish it would but the reality is that I have a lot of laxity on my abdomen now that I am too scared to lose more weight over because it is bad enough in clothes and itches enough now. I'm fairly happy with my size I would just like some nip tucking of the skin and fat here and there lol. I like my bum and boobs and I know they are the first places the weight will come off. Sucks lol. Thanks for the comment :)

For some reason every doctor on here is telling me to avoid 800cc breast implants. No one really elaborates and there are no doctors that have said you weigh a lot because you are just fat. I don't know if I can actually accept that as a reason for being heavy. This heavy anyway. I see women taller than me that look the same of bigger and they weigh less. It's crazy. Maybe I just carry it well?? Not that we'll but better than most. I am pretty happy but I want my love handles and tummy fixed mostly. I have muscle separation down go like 1 or 2 cm. I have tried sit ups etc but it isn't coming back anymore:(

My (Not So) Free Implants issue

I'm getting the breast implants through a popular website called myfreeimplants.Com. so far I have had brilliant luck and since August 2013 til now I have raised nearly $8000. I was only $600 away when admin decided to suspend my account based on two guys dummy spits. The guys have more rights than the Women there and had I known I would never had invested all that time and emotion into it. I am heartbroken. 10 days away from needing to make my goal to make it to California in October and I'm suspended. Ok, so I thought "I'll be fine. It'll be up again by the end of the week. No problem". YEAH RIGHT!!! Going on week 2 now and feeling lonely a d [RS bleep]. I miss good friends i made there. The community was supportive and it was fun. I have tried on numerous occasions to make contact and cooperate with admin. I am positive I broke no rules and I am still being punished. Just want to get back on and get what I worked for and deserve. Playing with people's dreams and emotions like that is wrong and I hope MFI make it more clear cut in future. I didn't even get an email informing me my account was suspended. NOTHING. JUST RUDE.Now let me back so I can rock the site like I was!! Xoxo
