Why am I so fat after liposuction?

My name is Paulette Hacker and I went to Dr. Alan Bittner for liposuction two times. I am recently divorced from Chris Hacker and I thought that liposuction would make me decent looking, but I was wrong. I still weigh 230 pounds and my body is ugly even though Dr. Bittner removed over 10 pounds of fat from my stomach, arms, back, and double chin. When I look in the mirror (or at all other times) I am miserable. Why couldnt Dr. Bittner turn me, Paulette Hacker from Sacramento, into a normal human being?

1. Geez i sure wish i had the money to do that
2. Are you sure Doctor Bittner had the machine set on SUCK.?
3. you might should try exercising. We are not magicians.....
4. maybe you are eating faster than they can suck it out
5. You would enjoy the show The Biggest Loser. You can get tons of ideas from that show. I personally love that show. I can get so motivated to exercise after watching it.
6. I'm no expert, but it's probably something to do with those 11 big macs you ate this morning?
7. just watch this video on http://tinyurl.com/5o9na7 and see why you still fat after liposuction
8. I'm sorry but you have to do more than just get lipo. You have to excercise and diet. My mom stopped eating sweets and started excercising one year and she lost 10 pounds. Didn't spend a dime. She even saved some on food.
9. When fat is taken out of your body, the body responds by depositing fat in different places on the body. It's a like a reaction where the body is defending itself as it's losing fat. Some women actually notice their breasts and bum get a little bigger after liposuction because your body starts to store remaining fat in different places. But I agree with everyone else, try to exercise more and keep it up. Don't slack, you must be consistent with it, otherwise your body won't change.
10. At 230lb, you should not be opting for liposuction just yet. The procedure is for inch loss and reshaping body contours, not weight loss. Get yourself down to a reasonable weight and body fat percentage first and then you can try liposcution again to take care of any stubborn areas that won't shift with diet and exercise.
11. No one can do it for you. You need to do it yourself. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me. Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why. Make a few additional small changes - walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars. Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can't get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one. In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy. Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don't. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies. Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day. Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day. Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.
