Update.. 5 weeks
I'll be 5 weeks post op tomorrow. The photo I'm sharing is from 4 weeks post op. I've started to notice this small dent on my butt. Now I'm having thoughts of a round two. I don't know. Everyone tells me it looks big, but for some reason I just feel like it's getting smaller. It's 45 inches on most days. A little smaller in mornings, a little bigger at night (from swelling of standing on my feet)
I'm just not sure how I feel about it. Even though I still love what he did toy stomach and back.

One month post op
So today I'm one month post op.. Salama said I could start working out again so I went to gym for some light arm day. I found myself tire easily.
This is just a quick update. Sorry I can't post more than one pic per update on my phone.
Last I emailed salama he told me to work on smoothing out crease above my belly button. I actually broke my abdominal board with my body I guess so I've been using a kitchen cutting board. It's stronger. But I feel ridiculous putting a cutting board under my faja.
Butt seemed to stabilize according to measuring tape, but I still wish it was bigger. Booty greed is real lol. Thank you girls for all your support.

2.5 weeks post op
Hey ladies, just thought I'd give a quick update.
My flight home was 4 days ago (I stayed 16 days in total, 14 of those days were post op). Oh my god, that flight. It was only 3 hours long, but it was excruciating. I stood for 2 hours, but I had to sit for the long take off and Landing. I refused to sit so I put all my weight on my triceps and sort of hovered over seat for half an hour. It was so exhausting. I had a Boppy carefully placed only under my thighs, but for the most part I just hovered in air on nothing but arm strength and after half an hour until the fasten seat belt sign turned off, I was in hell.
Not to mention I was a huge spectacle, but I didn't care. You do what you have to do.
This one lovely girl came up to me when I was standing for and she asked me "excuse me, I just have to know did you get your butt done?" apparently she's Dominican and she told me my waddle is a normal sight in DR and that she was going there in February to get a BBL done herself and it's only reason she noticed.
She was an angel, and it was nice making a friend. She even helped me with my luggage afterward since my trip home was solo.
I just pray I didn't do too much damage when I half hovered over Boppy like a freak. I was praying for my fat cells the whole time.
In a few days I'll be 3 weeks post op and so far my but size is holding steady since the initial shrinkage. I pray there isn't much more.
You know how everyone talks about how they can't wait for their butt to drop and soften? I feel I might be alone in this, but I actually really like it perky and firm. I don't want it to drop lol.
I've been doing a lot of walking and I really hope the movement won't damage my fat grafts. I keep treating them like these fragile things that can't be disrupted in any way. It's why I hated taking my faja off to go number two or to get massages. I was worried squeezing in and out of it would kill fat cells. Dr salama told me if I do it too frequently after a long time it might. So I try to avoid it as much as possible.
I was wondering if any of you ladies knew when it's OK for me to do light weight training work just with my arms? I was going to email salama with progress pics and ask him then, but maybe one of you had some advice on that?
Still love my doctor though, so happy I went with him.
