2 WEEKS POST OP BBL AND TT WITH LIPO
Hey Ladies ..where do I start ? Let me do this update in list form because I have a few things on my mind and I do not want my update to be confusing.
1. I am HAPPY with my results ! I may complain about small things here and there but over all ..I am grateful and thankful.
2. I had 7 pounds of skinned removed from my stomach ..before surgery I could not see my belly button or could I see my lady parts......smh.....
I had a hanging belly that I had to lift up smdh ..and he changed all of that ...Thankful and grateful !
3. Before surgery I could not see my waist with out putting on a girdle ...Now I do not have too ...Thankful and grateful
4. My back ...I had rolls of fat hanging ...I still have some fat on my back but I can tell you that it is 80% better than it was...and the little bit that remains can be sucked out at a later date ..lol. Thankful and grateful
Also I love how I have a dip in my back ( I think that is what they call it )
Love my hips ...they are natural ..no fat put in at all
5. LADIES WE MUST STOP COMPARING OURSELVES TO OTHERS ON THIS SITE OR JUST IN GENERAL. We all are built different and have been through different things ...
Example : I once weighed 315 pounds and lost 130 in 2 years ...my skin Is not the same as a 21 year old 150 pound woman.
Also I have had 6 pregnancies ...1 with twins ......My stomach stretched to the max ...my skin is not the same as a 25 year old with No kids ...
Also I have had 2 prior surgeries on my stomach ...I say ALL this to say
I CAN NOT EXPECT TO LOOK LIKE A WOMAN THAT HAS NOT LOST 130 POUNDS ...THAT HAS NOT BEEN PREGNANT 6 TIMES.
I THANK GOD THAT my TT CAME out as good as it did ...Is it perfect ? No but its 90% better than it looked before ...THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL
LAST BUT NOT LEAST LADIES ...PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT if you walk into surgery close to 200 pounds you will not come out of surgery 150 pounds lol ...smdh
I made the mistake of not loosing enough weight before surgery ...I thought if I loose to much weight I would not have enough for a bbl ....
I should have lost another 15 pounds before surgery ..Now I am having to loose the weight after surgery and may risk my BBl results..
So again loose your weight before surgery !!!!!!!!!!!
My Goal now is to loose about 15 to 20 pounds slowly and after I reach my desired weight see if I need another BBL .
I also want BA/BL with implants .....Thigh lift ....and more lipo back .....and arm lift
I will loose my weight first before I have ANY MORE SURGERIES .
Ok ladies I think that is it ...I had a lot on my mind ..lol Oh please do lots of research on CG before surgery .... because if not you will spend lots of money on CG I have 4 to 5 and guess what ...don't wear them ...don't fit . If your getting a BBL you will need a bigger size ...please remember that!

Thanks for the compliments . Reading your comment put a much needed smile on my face. I would like to also congradulate you on your 70 pound weight lost . Your doing it the right way ...loosing the weight first then having surgery. Again Congratulations. I just need to find the motivation to loose 15 to 20 pounds. ..any suggestions....since you have been there ?

Thank you for the congratulations... it was work, but the journey showed me that I am in control of what I do with this body, what I put in it... not it bossing me around like before. I feel that a significant part of weight loss or gain is understanding our relationship with food and our bodies. What I mean is, what in our life caused us to start packing on the pounds in the first place. True, our genetics or hormones, pregnancies, etc. play into weight fluctuations and gain... but the material point is, if we are honest, what in our life is missing or off that we "fill/ed" that void with food. Mine was being lonely, I wanted to be married and have a family for as long as I could remember... when all my friends started to get married off, then cousins and even younger siblings, it really hit me emotionally, feeling like I would never find my love... so a "love affair" with food and bad eating helped fill the void. Once I realized my insecurities, dealt with them through the Bible and prayer, food didn't have the same power as it once did. I think that is the difference between dieting and lifestyle change. To answer your questions, here are some tips that helped me: drinking water, drink half your weight in ounces of water; stop eating 3 hours before bed- try to limit late night snacking, even healthy snacks- your body starts to wind down into the evening and fueling it confuses your system on what you are wanting to do, causing it to store the food as fat and lack of deep sleep. Protein, limit sugars and simple carbs, protein feeds muscle and muscle burns fat... so love your body with treating it to protein rich meals especially after a good weight training workout. Cardio at least 20-30 minutes a day, if just starting out, 3-4 days a week, weight training 2-3 days a week... tone up the investment you made and love the results even more! I am so excited for you, you look wonderful and hopefully I have given you some tips and ideas on how to help you capitalize on your personal investment. Some excellent recipes blogs for meals are skinnytaste.com (I used this site to help me get and maintain my 77 pound weight loss), elanaspantry.com, jenslitebites.com. Let me know if you would like to chat more, love to encourage in anyway possible! Be blessed, hugs!

Hey thanks for the advice . Especially about late night eating that is my biggest issue. I stress alot at night and reach for sugary snacks out of frustration.

Beautiful outlook. Wishing you the best with your healing and continued beautiful results.

New CG
I went out and purchased a new CG . So I will stay in this for a month . Also I went to the doctor because my belly button was not looking right . Well he ended up putting more stitches in so that it will heal properly.

Ok sis so I just did a search for COLUMBIAN POWERNET and many different CG's came up. If you have a certain one in mind post a link so that I can take a look at it. Because the place I bought my new CG is a Columbian CG store and they sail many different CG's . So send me a link of the one you have in mind and I will take a look at it ..and go try it on at the store. Thanks
