8 Weeks Post Op - New Pic!! - Dr. Jimerson - Atlanta, GA

Hi ladies l am 8 weeks post-op today. Everything is going slow but steady. Two days ago l noticed my butt is getting soft around the sides. Last week l was concerned about my butt being flat and hard so l called the office. Nurse Kim assured me that it will become round and take shape as it softens and that l should wait till 3 months post-op to sit directly on it.

At 6 weeks po l started wearing my garment 12 hours a day but after 3 days the swelling went out of control and l resumed wearing it 23 hours a day. Praying l don't loss the grafted fat. lt still measures 41 inches, that's a lil peace of mind right there.

Stay blessed ladies.

Hi ladies, l am 6 weeks po today. My butt is still hard. The office told me it can take up to 8-12 weeks to soften. l am looking forward to that.

l have not got much to report. l will post pics again in two weeks.

When Dr. J came to see me after my sx l thanked him and asked how many cc's he gave me? Now l feel embarassed about it....lol. He said 750 to the butt and 200 to the hips because that was all he could get. To be honest l expected to get 900 - 1000 to the butt and 200 - 300 to the hips. Am l disappointed with what l got?? No, no, no, no.....l am not. Infact l am very pleased with my results. Dr. J took out only 3000cc because l'd loss a lot of weight and that was all he could harvest. For what l have learned about fat cells they do not die but shrink when you loss weight. So here is my take on it....grafted fat will behave the same as it did in the lipoed areas. Your butt will enlarge when you put on weight and will shrink when you loss weight. Weight gain after BBL will start in your butt. ln this case if l like l can grow the rest of the 250cc's without jeopardising my results but looking at the frame of my new body l think 1000cc will be too big for me unless l gain weight in other areas as well. Everything is still hard, l am patiently waiting to fluff and plump.

Though it is still early l think dr. J gave me exactly the shape as my wish pic. He is a genius. l am proud of him. My butt was 39 inches before sx and 44 inches after. One week post-op it went down to 42 inches and it has held steady up till now. My stomach was also 39 inches like my bottom (real sponge bob) lol. But now its 33 inches. They say it takes 6 months to get complete results so l am not in a hurry and you will not hear me complaing because l am grateful.

My back fat does not feel lipoed but it looks lipoed isn't that great? At 3 weeks po my back fat is 80% gone. l rather have a painless procedure with results that a painful one. My vagina is still swollen and my inner thighs feels as if there is a golf ball in each one. That is quite normal and needs to be massaged daily. My arms have reduced in size as well. l am amazed by that and l'm glad l did not lipo them. l intentionally did not lipo them because l want to use them as a reason to go to the gym. l will tone them that way.

The garment irritates my skin and it iches. l tried using oils, cocoa butter oil, bio-oil and they don't help so l tried massaging my body with olive oil before shower and rub Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E. This helps a lot. Nurse Kim told me to start massaging after one week post-op and since then l have been massaging myself. l wear my garment 23 hours a day and take it off in the morning to shower. l give myself a 15-20mins massage and then take a shower and in the evening l massage again and either shower or wipe myself down. This feels real good. The first part helps me relax during the day and the second part helps me get a good night sleep, 30mins each.

Drinking lots of water is vitale. As the swelling goes down all the toxins come out of the body through the urinary track. From the color of my urine l can see if l am taking enough water or not. Water also helps with overeating. Make sure you drink at least 2ltrs of water during the day so to prevent getting up numerous times to pee at night. I eat mostly whole meal bread, brown pasta, brown rice, sweet potaoes, lots of fruit and veges. No sugar less salt. 3 more weeks and l can start eating whites bit by bit. The triangle irritates me, it too will go in 3 weeks, yayyyy.

My flight back to Europe went smoothly. l handed the letter dr. J gave me to an air hostess as soon as l boarded the plane and she wrote my seat number on it and kept the letter. l was allowed to stand at the back even when they asked other passengers to take a seat because they needed space to maneuver their trolleys. l stood most of the time. My legs were not swollen at all and l thank God for that. l had an aisle seat seven rows to the back. The plane was full but l was blessed to sit with some young Mormon missionaries who didn't mind me fighting with my bobby pillow. Oh God!!!! That was the hardest part, l just couldn't get it right and everyone around was staring at me so l swapped my aisle seat with one of the missionaries and took his middle seat. l used him to shield all those eyes on me....lol. He did not mind at all. l am open to all believes so long as we are talking about the same God and we have respect for each other so the few times l spent sitting down we chatted about religion. l told him l also believe in later day saints not to impress him but l sincerely do believe.

l cut out my chair yesterday and wow!! Foreverbeauty's idea. l love it. The female urinal device is super!!

That's it for today, l will post more pics soon,

Hasta la vista babies.
