I'm About to Be a Part of the "KERR KITTEN's" =) Hello BBL Ladies - Austin, TX

Today, I have reached my 3 week mark. I was waiting until this point to post again to see how I felt. Pain: I'm at a level 3 out of 10 for pain. Had my Two week appt last Wed. Dr said I was healing well but, at that time I still was waddling around when walking and could barely bend over. My Ass was still sore and hip area sore an stiff as well. I was at the beginning stage of areas are the edge of ass getting soft but still very firm in the middle. I was taking extra strength tylenol about every 8 hours and felt the most pain and stiffness in the mornings when i wake up and in the middle of the night. My skin was retracting well and was hard and sore to the touch still. My back was very stiff and I had swelling right above the lover back and above flank area. What a difference a week makes. About 3 days again I began to walk as normal and not be as sore in my butt and hip area. Now my ass is still sore but not as much and it is starting to move when i walk with a little bounce :=). the last two days I am ablle to bend down more and out my shoes on and lotion below my knees without as much pain in my back..I can't touch the ground yet though without the feeling that stretch or tightness like my back skin will rip lol but it's an improvement. I only take tylenol twice a day now for last couple of days

Garment: I still wear my garment it has the butt in but the butt area in a material that doesn't have a lot of compression. I like it b/c it helps shapes my butt. The last week it's beengetting lose around the belly so I started wearing my corsett / waist trainer over top of it and I can really tell that the waist is shrinking even more 1/2 inch down from yesterday. I wear my garment all the time except when showering or massage. The DR gave me a waist binder after surgery but, it didn't give much compression on my lower belly so my garment in a one piece now that stop mid thigh. Ordered on ebay.
The garment does leave marks and indentions on my stomach so I have to put padding under neath and massage them out when i take garment off.

Swelling and fat absorption: I didn't gain much weigh from swelling only about 5lbs and I was back down to my pre op weight a few days after surgery but I also didn't eat a lot b/c I got very sick with a fever. However I still have a little swelling in stomach and back as it is not all the way flat yet. I haven't lost much volume maybe an 1/2 inch after surgery I measured and I was about 46 but that included all the swelling in my lower belly as well.

pre op and post op measurements:
bust- 37 (with bra on) now 36
under bust - 31 now 29
waist - 34 now 29 1/2 (still swelling so it will get smaller)
hips - 41 1/2- 42 now 45

Massages: I have not had any lymphatic massages. The dr says I can use a rolling pin so I have been using that and it works. Also I bought a had massages off of amazon and use it as well so that I will not get any lumps. It really helped to soften any hard areas that I have and today my skin only stiff areas on my side below my bust line. I just need to massage those areas more but they just really tender and I still have bruising there. I also still have bruising on some areas of my stomach

I finally left the house today - layers of course lol not ready to unleash this butt on the world yet haha and I went clothes shopping.. I mean I don't even have under wear that fit this thang anymore :=) I tried on dresses and skirts and my waist looked so small. I had to go down in size just to fit my waist and then squeeze my butt into the stretchy material. I'll post some pics but every thing looked cute so i will have to go wardrobe shopping!

Ok, I can't think of anything else..and now I'll post the pics from when I was trying on clothes and will chat with you ladies next time!

I purchase ab boatd which help flatted the lower part over night.
Didnt have the crazy swelling. I did eat pineapple and pineapple juice four days straight before surgery.
I only gained about 4 pounds. Today l weigh 160 ..pre op I was 159
Dr kerr did not use drains as well.
