Amber,
Thank you for sharing your success. I am pre-op and I hope Dr. Nazari will be my surgeon also. I am sorry about the loss of your dog but happy about the cute new ones. I think it's great that you have had this surgery while you were so young and you have a whole thin life ahead of you. Thank you again for sharing and being an inspiration. Jackie

Your welcome! I had it when i was 18 bc i didnt wanna go though life hating myself! I find myself not worrying about my looks but about the important things!  Trust me i had my hard time! and I would NEVER lie and say its a piece of cake! and no matter what you cant prepare yourself for whats ahead!!

well if you EVER need anything or anyone to talk to or have ?s let me no

my email is [email protected]


love, AmberMarie

WOW!! I am amazed that you got the surgery at 18 but I'm sure it was so easy for you to bounce back.

I'm glad there is a younger crowd willing to do what it takes.
Keep me in your prayers, I have my results visit tomorrow morning, I am 25 and SOOOO ready for this.

It's amazing you are 19lbs from goal, that is amazing, And you just totally reassured me, i love my D boobs and I do not want to lose them after the surgery.

Congrats on getting a new nephew
And Congrats on the new doggies.

I am a total doggie lover. Ready for 2 - 3 more myself.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day!

Im happy for you... have you had surgery or have a date?
I had my rough time but it really isn't as bad as you think and my only thing was bc every surgery ive ever had i woke up in them, So they KNOCKED ME OUT!!! and i was outa it for 2 days. Im glad your still very young and having this! it will change your life in the biggest way. I love my boobs but im not gonna lie to you, they get hard to deal with when your small. They dont sit up like they use to either. I can't stand it!

if u have any ?s or just need someone to talk to my  email is [email protected]

I go for results visit in the AM, so hopefully I will know something by then. Keep me in your prayers.

I will!! let me no asap

Hi Amber,

Congratulations on your success to date. Be sure to continue to make concious choices as you move from weight loss mode to weight maintenance mode. While you are losing the weight and getting close to goal, it can feel like you have the world by the tail and have licked the weight issues, but I must warn you that especially since you can tolerate any foods... like me... you'll need to be sure that you have some mechanisms in place to ensure your true, long-term success... Keeping off the weight! Be sure to do whatever you need to do to keep your self in check and accountable to the most important person in this journey... YOU! I make sure to weigh daily and chart my weight once a week. I don't wear elastic skirts, shorts, slacks or jeans... I can 'feel' a couple of extra pounds. I log what I eat if I notice my weight creeping. I always make sure to have at least 3 ounces of lean protien before anything else. If I want ice cream, I will, but first, right before having the ice cream, I have my lean protien... This way I get to have my cake and eat it too. I get the protein my body needs and am able to keep from overloading on things that can potentially undo me.

You've come so far and I expect that you'll continue to be successful. I wish I could have done what you have done when I was your age. I know that it has and will change your life forever. 

Wishing you continued success,

Hi Amber,
Thxs for posting and keeping us updated on how great you are doing.
I am sorry to read about your dog.
It is never easy to loose a pet.
I was a dog mom of 4 myself it  took lots of devotion and caring.
Funny about you still being a size D for some strange reason my boobs appear to be getting larger.
My hubby says my stomach is going down and you can see where the boobs are and where my stomach is.
OMG I have cleevage at age 50 LOL
