So I haven't been on real self in a while . The last time I posted I wasn't feeling well. The reason being, I was pregnant! So being as I'm pregnant I have nothing more to add to my surgery progression. My booty is still in tact don't think that's going anywhere ! I don't know how being pregnant so soon after surgery will impact my skin? But we'll see I guess,I wish all you ladies well on your journeys , I hope my review may have helped some of you.maybe ill be back one day after this baby! Take care and good luck ladies.

Today I'm 8 wks post op. I have not been feeling...
Today I'm 8 wks post op. I have not been feeling good for about 1 wk and may consider making a drs appointment. I have been fatigued 24-7 and cold. My joints ache as if I'm getting the flu . I had a massage yesterday and it made me feel a little better but because I'm so cold I feel my body is constantly tense so maybe that's why it hurts?still no Period?? After 2 months! I haven't worn my garment in about 2 days just the waist cincher during the day. I have swelled up so I may put it back on from time to time. Just tired of everything. The skin on my low back burns a lot especially when I'm sleeping. It's ok with the garment but the skin gets super tight in one position and when I move it feels like its ripping and burns. I've been putting vitamin e oil on my skin and lotion even in the middle of the night. I have been sleeping on my back now and occasionally sitting without a pillow. As for feeling exhausted of switched up my diet and upped my vitamins but I haven't seen any difference ! My guess us that I'm anemic? Has anyone felt like this or missed there periods for this length of time. I know I'm not pregnant but I sure do feel like it with this exhaustion! As for my results , my bootys still lookin good. My stomach is soft now but still has some fat I think my back has fat too but that was to be expected! Dr. Salama said I may have more fat than the recommended amount but hey I look tons better that before. As soon as my energy level gets better ill really hit the gym and focus on my diet. That's about it! Any questions/ advice always appreciated!

Hey,
Your results are absolutely amazing! I'm sorry you're not feeling good.. I didn't have sx, but reading your last post, I would agree about going to your doctor and ask him/her to check your thyroid levels. I wish you all the best! Xoxo

I here you, i'm close to 6 weeks and i'm tired of all this. I just want to be back to normal already. How does it feel to sit and lay on your back? Do you notice any difference after sleeping on your back? I have the same issues. I get tired easily, everytime I lay down my skin tightens up and has a burning sensation. I still get itchy here and there, some days my stomach looks flat other days it looks swollen more on the right side and its very noticable when I look down. To me all thegarment does is squeeze you in temporarily because as soon as I take it off its not as flat. It also leaves deep indentations that I have to massage. I didn't have an issue with my period. My butt hurts and tingles mostly on the right side when I sit on boppy so I dont like sitting only when in a car but I do sit sometimes with a rolled up towel under the area between thighs and butt cheeks to keep pressure off booty when i'm tired of kneeling or lying down on my stomach. My joints ache too but I thought it was from being in certain positions too long. I stretch every morning and massage myself. I still don't sleep well at night so maybe that is why i'm always tired/fatigued. I would suggest you see your doctor just to be sure. Goodluck! TTYL

Nargas88 ,I'm a back sleeper so all this stomach sleeping was killing me. I started with the boppy underneath but now I don't use anything. I'm still waking up because when I change positions my skin is sooo tight it hurts but I haven't seen any difference in volume loss. My booty only hurts on hard surfaces.oh and make sure u don't have hard lumps in ur booty because they will cause pain and sensitivity it's like built up fat.i found 1 on mine and massaged it out.it tingled and was sensitive to the touch. I'll keep u posted on my condition.

When did u start sleeping on ur back w boppy? I'm a back sleeper as well and sleeping face down gives me HORRIBLE lower back pain. I have used pillows under my belly, body pillow, kneeling to sleep (which then hurts my knees). I am out of ideas and cannot sleep thru the night. I'm so ready to sleep on my back!!

I think thats what I might have in my right cheek but its hard to tell. It isnt hard but just a little firmer than the left and it itches. I didnt want to massage it because I though it would make the cheek flat or something. IDK. If im not able to sit in a couple weeks then thats probably what it is. I'm also a back sleeper but I could sleep on my stomach too but prefer on my back. I think i'll try sleeping on my back tonight. KIT

I know how you feel. It sucks! I didn't get back pain from sleeping but it just keeps me up at night tossing and turning. I can't imagine adding horrible pain too. Hope it goes away for you, you should prob try sleeping on your boppy to see how you feel. I tried zzquil but it didn't work for me. TTYL

I would say close to the 8 wk mark I started sleeping on my back placing pillows were necessary. I'm def more comfortable .

I tried to watch tv on my back but it didn't last long. Even though I used the boppy and pillows my butt began to hurt/tingle so I don't think I can sleep on my butt just yet, it was a little relieving though.

U def. have to ease your way into it because we haven't been in that position for so long. Ur body will let u know what it can handle . This is such a long process!

if yr feeling like that right now u dont need to DIET DONT DO IT FOCUS ON eating foods with energy its yr body adjusting!! just be patient its the recovery taking its tole on u!! they say u dont really start feeling like yrself until 90 days after aggressive lipo!! if yr cold it could mean doll yr not eating enough or even driniking enough fluids. they recommend to not diet until after the 3 months just so yr replenishing yr body. do u have ppl or family around doll?? u sound kinda in a way like yr giving up please dont this is the hard part. if u do go to dr u can ask for vitain b-12 shot its actually for energy. try to drink pineapple juice and eat pineapples. but PLEASE PLEASE EAT DONT WORRY ABOUT YR CALORIE INTAKE RIGHT NOW YR BODY IS TELLING U SOMETHING ELSE!! im anemic and u have all the sings of needing to feed yrself and some TLC for yrself not yr " lipo or bbl" i hope u do what i say. eat some good food, put yr garmet back on. if u can eat some steak it has alot of iron!!take iron and vitamin and slowly build yrself back up. hey u said u feel pregnant r u sure u didnt get pregnant ater with yr big booty lol?? i hope to hear from you. drink alot of fluid BUT MAKE U EAT ALOT OF FOOD WITH IRON!!!! i will be checking on u so i hope u update and tell me about the food yr eating!! u can diet after the 3 months dont worry about that!! put yr garmet back on. take some bromelain!!

Aww thank you for this! I really appreciate it. And you are right I was totally giving up. By diet I mean eating healthier not so much starving myself.im taking my vitamins also. I'm starting to feel a little better but not 100% by any means. The garment ill be putting back on ASAP because not wearing it for 2 days I'm super swollen. So as much as I want to give up. My body is not letting me. I appreciate ur encouraging words. I'm just tired of not feeling well.

hey chicka! nice to c that ur checking in. sry to hear about how ur feeling but i do understand all this garment mess is ridiculous at times and i really question what its doing this "late in the game" because like Nargas88 said once u take it off u c a difference so idk. i went and bought a medium waist cincher and that thing dug in me like some1 was trying to kill me. guess im not as small as i think lol. anywho try to stay positive. overall ur outcome is great! take each day at a time. and make sure u stay on top of ur symptoms. u don't want things getting any worse...i didn't get my period for one month. i didn't know that could be a side effect.

Hey krazyray good to hear from u. I had my garment off for 2 days now with the intentions of never putting it on again. I was just over everything . But I'm super swollen now so I guess I'll b puttin that damn thing on. I can hardly bear to just wear the cincher. Other than that I'm taking my vitamins , still no period after 2 months my energy level is just very low so I'm doin the best I can to feel better. Hope your managing ok and feeling good.

So I have a family affair coming up out of town and flights are a little pricy because of Easter and booking so late. Has anyone went on a road trip that soon after sx?

Hi sweetie, how long do u usually sit when u sit? How do u feel? Yesterday was the first time I sat in a restaurant n funny thing is that I sat for like 4 hrs just talking. The good thing is that it was very cushioned:) but I also had a couple of drinks n perhaps that's y I wasn't even thinking of my butt!! Lol!! Anyway when I finally got up my butt felt numb! I have to say I'm scared I will lose volume!! I have been babying this booty like crazy!!! I have asked many times how much more volume ppl have lost after 6 wks but no responses:( anyhow Luv I think if u could stop every now n then just so u don't get stiff n circulate ur blood flow u should b ok:) ask the dr n see wut he says:) keep me posted:) xoxo n good luck sweetie!
