4 months update and pics

Here are two photos, one was before my BA and the other is now. I think I went too big and do regret it, especially because my bigger boob is now wayyy bigger and more noticeable especially from a side profile. I think I look matronly, definately not my goal. I plan to get a revision and replace the implant of my bigger breast to 100 cc less, bringing it to 325 cc with a lift hopefully that will make a difference.

I am 4 months PO, I am struggling to lose weight, my goal is 15 more lbs, I've lost about 13 since the surgery. As you can see not much change, I am enjoying wearing just about anything I want and not feeling self conscious about my tummy. It is still a bit round and I am still swelling, especially by the afternoon. I'm hoping that by losing the rest of this weight I will be completely flat. I still feel numbness around my incision and on my back where he did the lipo. I still have pain when I move a certain way from the muscle repair, also when i stretch, and sometimes I still feel some pulling. I have not been doing any ab work because of that. Patience is what everyone says and I'm finding out that they are right. I can do anything, I'm back to normal except for those few minor nuisances, but I can live with that until my body heals completely. Healing vibes to all, keep strong, it does get better slowly, but surely.

3/1/13- Today I complete 3 months PO. I can tell you that my recovery hasn't been bad, it has all been manageable. I am not 100% yet, I am still swelling, parts of my tummy are still numb, as well as parts of my lower back where he did the lipo. My results are not what I expected, but I'm dealing with it. I think the lipo is uneven, there are parts of my tummy where you can see there was more fat left, as well as on my thighs, one sticks out further than the other, also due to the lipo. My bra line was also lipoed and I think its starting to look the same, I have a little bulge on my right side that sticks out, and I told him I wanted this gone. Sometimes when I sit down you can really see my round tummy, and at times I still get a little muffin top, depends on the time of day. All in all, I believe it is due to swelling, so this gives me hope. However, I did lose about 12-16 lbs, again depends on the day of the week and time I weight myself, I'm flactuating between 132-135. My starting weight the night after the surgery was 148. He says he took about 6 lbs of tummy and fat from the lipo. I am barely starting to be able to use my stomach muscles with very little pain, up until a week ago I couldn't do that because they hurt. He did muscle repair, and this was probably the discomfort/pain that has taken longer to go away. All other pain, was pretty much gone by the 2nd week when they took the drains out. My tummy feels hard, kinda like when you are pregnant. It bothers me that is not flatter because I think with the weight loss it should be completely flat, I can only wonder what it would look like if I hadn't lost anything. Well not going to worry about that. I had promised myself to start changing my eating habits and start my exercise routine full force as soon as I could to make up for the results I didn't get. However, I have zero motivation to go to the gym, and I am struggling to keep my diet in check so that I don't gain any weight. I would hate to have spent all this money only to end up fat again. Mind you , I am 4'11" so for me 115-120 lbs would be ideal. At 148, I was very heavy and overweight for my height. I really want to get down to 120, I have scheduled my BA with lipo to the arms for August 22nd. I have two months to get on the ball and be where I need to be before my next surgery. I hope this helps ladies.
- Be realistic about your expectations
-Recovery, - prepare for the worst and hope for the best
-Be ready to make lifestyle changes that will enhance your results, if you were not already doing it. This is me, I wasn't mentally prepared to make the changes needed to enhance my results or to even keep my results.
-Make sure you have your support system, spouse, significant other or close friends, you will need them for the emotional roller coaster you are about to get on.
God bless!
