2 months Post Op update and new pics - DR. SALAMA

Hey Ladies - Yea I've been ditching realself lately. It's true what they say, this site looses it's appeal after about 3 weeks Post op. But I wanna keep you ladies updated, so here's my 8 week review! Well, my body is almost back to normal now. I still have soreness/burning in my torso, mostly lower back and flanks. My flanks and abdomen get the most swollen still and sometimes, I'm like. whaaat? I look so puffy! But When I wake up and I'm not all swollen I love how flat my belly is. My inner thighs are still tender too, but I'm really upset with them. I like looking thick, but I just feel like my thighs aren't what I wanted. I think they could be better. I dont think they look thick, I think they look fat, because I have that gap, but then like a 3 inch fatty bulge. Thats not thickness, thats blubber lol. Ugh I hate that sooooo much and I thought it'd be gone, but ugh. it kinda ruins it for me.
I feel like my booty got soooooo much smaller but it is the same measurements - 26 waist, 39 booty. I am hiring a personal trainer next week and gonna hit the gym and start lifting HEAVY! I wanna bulk up, I got all this fat now haha it jiggles just fine. But now I think I can bulk out my muscle and really get the result I want. I wouldn't want nothing but a fatty ass anyways. I want something to jiggle, yes of course... but I also want alot of muscle to make it JUMP. My wish measurements are 25" waist, and 43" booty. That's a 4" increase. yikes. Sounds so intimidating, but I do think it's possible over the next 6 months, so that's my goal. Whether or not I ever get there isn't that important really - I just wanna get my ass up in the gym and see what I can accomplish. My strategy is to not do ANY cardio (YAAAAAY!!!) I don't want to lose any weight anymore. That is such a good feeling. I eat healthy, and now I actually have trouble putting on any weight. Im 130 now and I eat so much (healthy but a lOT) and I can't put on a single pound, this is CRAZY! I neeeever had that issue before. Ok, and eat lots of protein and take maca root and do low reps, high weights of squats, lunges, hip extensions, deadlifts, hip thrusts and butt bridges, and also ab workouts and mild arm workouts 2ce a week, and just keep increasing weight.
I'm getting used to not wearing a garment anymore. It's like my security blanket now, and I don't really like not wearing it, but can't wear it forever! I dont really sit that much still, and I still sleep on my stomach. even though I'm "Allowed" to, it just feels weird and I can't bring myself to do it.
I'm bummed about the cellulite and the dents, but I guess I have to get used to it. Ruben said its not necessarily permanent, but I think it is.
I totally am glad I did it - for sure. Much improvement! But I still have things I'm unsatisfied with. Inner thighs - I wanted a curvier sillouhette from the front, and a bit of upper back fat left, not too much though. Round 2 isn't totally out of the question, if Dr. Salama thinks my inner thighs could be used to fill in dents and fill out a little more, I might consider it - But I don't really want to go through that again!!! Imma see where I am in 6 months after working out!!!
Just for comparison I wore the same panties from my pre-op pix, omg what a diff. check it out. Thanks ladies. Good luck to everyone XOXO

Ok, so this is what I was dreading the most, to be honest. Ive been trying to find clothes that hide this booty- and I know it sounds ridiculous, because I didn't get it to hide it... I just didn't want it to be soooo obvious right away esp. since I'm still in the garment, you know. And I've been doing a pretty good job with a line skirts and such, but I wore the WRONG outfit today, and my ass was bouncing everywhere, and if anyone didn't notice before, well they do now. I'm just fine with the attention that it brings from people who didn't know me before lol, I just am kinda embarrassed about actually getting surgery, you know? Not that I really think its that terrible, but still... I just don't want to be pinned the wanna be fake ass like kim kardashian of my work place. Even though I love Kim!! haha, see... I"m just conflicted. I am so happy with my results, but the one thing that I was hesitant about getting surgery was what people would think (in a negative way) I realized that was so stupid, and I shouldn't do (or NOT do) something because of other people... but anyways. They don't know I did this, and it was only super obvious today but I wonder what they are thinking. I heard a bunch of jokes under the breath. Caught lots of stares and super confused faces lol. This one girl I work with who is really really kinda bitchy and judgemental (and flat bootied hahahaha) was like, seriously scowling and looking at my butt AAAALL DAY!!! I know it's curiousty and jealousy, but it just made me very uncomfortable. nobody said anything directly to me, but I was definitely the elephant in the room, that's for sure. haha. Whatever, they better not say anything or else I'll tell them to eat it! At least I can come on here with all my bbl sisters and feel not so alone!! Thank you! What have been some of your reactions? XOXO

Hey everyone! Well, I made it to 4 weeks. What a ride. I'm definitely feeling a lot better now, but I am still very swollen and tender. Especially my back and sides. definitely my arms too! I'm hoping that some of the "fat" I have left on everything (except my booty!) is swelling. Its still kinda hard to bend and move freely, and I don't like to put any sort of pressure on my butt, so even when I bend I get really anxious. I had to take the bus yesterday and it SUCKED. Of course I didn't have a boppy, so I just sat at the edge of the seat with my booty hovering lol. Definitely got some crazy looks!!! hahaha. I got off early and just walked my ass home - F* that. And it HURT to sit! Damn, i haven't really been sitting on the boppy or anything, trying to get max survival rate and so my first little taste of that was not fun at all. I was surprised at how uncomfortable it was. My butt never really hurts otherwise. I guess cuz I take such care of it. \\

My butt jiggles now a lot more! Its not totally soft but it's getting there! I tried twerkin' for the 1st time with my new booty the other day and I had soooo much fun hahahaha. I've always had some moves, but looked absolutely stupid with my puny little ass. So it was definitely satisfying but at the same time I didn't want to bounce around too much and kill any cells!! So it took everything I had inside of me to stop shaking it and put the garment back on and lay on the heating pad haha. I can't wait till it gets TOTALLY soft though.

My waist is holding out at 26-26.5 and my butt at 39-39.5. I really want to get my waist down to a 24!!! That would be unbelievable. The XS squeem isn't really that tight. It makes my waist tiny - but it doesn't feel that tight, really. I'm wondering if I should go down to a 2XS - too bad squeem doesn't make one!!! Lipo express does though - but its not all rubber lined, i dont think. I really like the squeem so I'm bummed about that. But I really want to tone up so crunches it is! (in a couple weeks...) And I'd also like to get my butt up to a 40 or 41, so once I'm totally healed and well past the 6 week mark - probably more like 10 or 11 weeks, I'm gonna start exercising and build some muscle so I can really twerk it!
