19 days post-New Pics

Hello, just a little update. I am almost 3wks post and feeling great. Swelling is still going down. I measured my waist and it is 5 inches smaller than what i was pre op. I measured my hips and they are actually the same as preop in inches, but there is clearly a difference in my body. I try not to get too wrapped up in measurements just because they are just numbers. At the end of the day it is all about what you look like. For example, for can take 2 women that weigh 180 lbs. One woman is actually shapely, no stomach, just all booty and thighs and the other woman is actually overweight, no shape. You wouldnt consider the first woman fat because of her shape/appearance. Since my waist is a lot smaller, Dr Jimerson has shaped me, made a butt rounder and fuller, my appearance/shape looks great. So yea, im loving my body. My steri stripes are falling off. Let me tell you. Looking at the steri stripes, i thought i was going to have scars just b/c of how dark the steri stripes were, but when they fell off, there really isnt a scar. Im still healing and putting neosporin on them so they can heal. Also, i read on the paperwork that Aziza sent me that you are actually supposed to put antibacterial ointment on top of your steri stripes daily after surgery. I did not know that, so I started doing it earlier this week. I was concerned that my incisions would scar but they didnt so im good. Also, I think i have scar tissue on my back where i got my bra rolls done. What should i do about that? I have uploaded more pics. Loving my curves. My bf is loving them as well. I also uploaded pics of Yaris Sanchez. She is who i showed to Dr. J right before he marked me up on the day of surgery just to give him an idea of my vision (i was not expecting to look like her b/c everybody's body is diff). The pics i showed him were just her plain pics, no photoshopped magazine pic and i must say he did a great job with getting me what i wanted. Work and driving with the half foam roller is getting easier by the day. Just cant wait until the point where i do have to use it anymore. I also called Michelle the other day, just curious about when i could lay on my side. She tells me wait as long as i can. What does that mean? I mean if i wanted to i could wait yrs. I feel like some type of time frame should have been given. And then there was someone in the background telling her 2-6 wks. Seems like everyone is not on the same pg. I still love his office staff though. Just wish they were a little more helpful with certain things.

Greeting, just a little update. Sunday I went ahead and did the do. Sorry ladies. Aint nobody waiting no six wks to have sex with their bf who they have been around everyday for 2 whole weeks lol. Famous position from the back ([RS bleep]) works wonders. Yesterday was my first day back to work. No one noticed anything, just me being gone. My coworker that knows I had the procedure has been telling ppl I was out sick so I had to keep up that story. Just told them that i took time off from work then got sick with a stomach virus last week. I purchased this cardigan from target that was on clearance to wear to work. Its made to be oversized so it covers everything until i want to slowly reveal my new body. I uploaded a pic of the half foam roller that i sit on for driving and at work. Its great b/c it is actually used to work on posture, balance, and the core (just like a exercise ball). So thats what I told my coworkers why im using it and just said i didnt want to carry around a exercise ball. The half foam is good b/c it is flat on the bottom that way it doesnt shift while im trying to sit on it. I also got a travel pillow from Marshalls for back support. Monday was the first day since my mom and sister has seen me since before my surgery. My mom was sooo excited. Talking about she is going to get lipo done. I guess..lol...I tried on some on my pants that i thought i wouldnt be able to fit anymore. They still fit but just look sooo much better on me without the garment. Hopefully they will still fit after i fluff. Well that is all that has been going on.

Today marks 13 days post. This is just a lil update on what has been going on. At my 1 wk post op appt, Kim recommended that I start my lymphatic massages and do about 3-4 consecutive sessions. So I started them on Thursday at Temporal Healing in Midtown. The girl's name is Nin. She is great. She has a private practice, so she works out of her condo. She has a nice lil set up in a separate room. The massages were very very relaxing. She did a mixture of the lymphatic and swedish massage on me. After the second massage i was feeling great. Yesterday I woke up, washed my hair, put on some makeup, went to get my last massage from Nin, went to the mall with the bf, and then dinner. Nin recommended that I do 2 more sessions with her and once Im healed, she wanted to try some other techniques on me for scar tissue and detoxing. Yesterday's massage consisted on lymph drainage and deep tissue on my stomach and back. idk if it is all of the stool softener i had to take last week or these lymph massages, but i have been going to the restroom like crazy since i started the massages. goodness. dont get me wrong, it feels great to clean myself out but damn. Anyway, today I am feeling really blahh. I am soooo tired of this garment. I really HATE this triangle. When can we stop wearing this damn thing? I want to do the do with my man!! lol. Im really thinking about saying forget it and just doing it. Damn! 6 wks? I dont think so. Anyway that is all that has been going on. Tomorrow marks the 2 wks post mark. Just ready for this to be over with
