Now the Face Can Match the BODY! - Suwanee, GA

Hello RS I have been stalking this site since last year when I had my first consultation with Dr J in March 2012. I was so excited about getting this procedure done I've dreamed about it for years. I still Imagine myself everynight how I am going to look once this is all over with. I am simply tired of looking like Sponge Bob. I have been teased since I was younger about my back with a crack. I have always been told that I am beautiful and get compliments all the time. Yet when I am with my FYNE ass friends all eyes are on them, and I am just the 3rd wheel fat friend who btw is very cute. Well I am tired of being cute and I want to be all that and a some. I just really want to love my body. I am a person who likes to show off her body. I can't wait to show off my new body in a hot pink thong......lol!

SO is anyone else out there in RS world trying to lose weight before their surgery. I have gained at least 40 pounds since my consulatation. I know it is from this IUD that I have and I am so glad it will be coming out tomorrow. I have had hair loss, crazy mood swings and the weight gain is crazy. I am 5'3 202 pounds that is bigger than what I was preggo. Its really depressing and ever since I got my surgery date and Aziza said I need to be at least 20 pounds over my ideal weight I have been stressing. I have been working out like crazy changed my eating habits for the past 3 weeks and no results. I am blaming this all on that dang Mirena. Does anyone know of some realistic diets and work out plans to get my weight down before SX? Has anyone else been told to lose weight before SX? I see a lot of post saying that that fat is good it helps the results. I need to come out of this looking like a bag of $$$.....because I've paid some $$$. This is the most I 've saved ever and to have my investment go to wasted would be awful. I just really need some advice on what should I do most of the weight I have is in my stomach. I have extremely small arms and legs and very small thighs. My mid section is huge and I have a hang because of the past c-sections but I have never been as big as I am know. HELP!!!

So I went to the DR on last week and was scared out of my mind my blood pressure is extremly high. I know it due to all the weight that I've gained. I just am at a lost for words cause it doesn't matter what I do I can't seem to shake the fat. I thought that maybe it was because of the IUD "Mirena" that was placed over 2 years ago. Now I got to deal with high blood pressure which is not good for my surgery! I am boderline depressed about the whole situation and October 3rd will be her before you know it! Any suggestions or advice would be highly appreciated........going in a corner to mope!
