So Wednesday will be Week 3!! Seems like just yesterday I was worried about going under and my flight cancellations due to Sandy. So far the recovery has been better...still no sitting! I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to pull off Thanksgiving with this sitting situation...my boyfriend and I are supposed to be going to an upscale restaurant so I'm sure my Boppy will not be welcomed. LOL!
I am dying to get back into the gym. I haven't been wearing my garment as much, but I wear my squeem religiously and my Booty-Out Panties that I purchased from Vedette. My tummy dropped from 31 inches to 29 inches in 1 week. It's still sore and lumpy around the belly area so I'm hoping that it will drop at least 1 more inch once the swelling goes down.
Well, that's about all that I have for now ladies...
HAPPY TURKE Y DAY!!!

Thank you secret charm. Now i'm trying to focus on keeping it that way. Right after surgery I didn't have much of an appetite but Dr. Salzhauer encouraged me to eat at least 2500 calories a day...so with that being said, I've been feeding my fat WITH fat, in hopes that the booty will stay, but I dont want to put on weight in the stomach area. lol. I've been eating everything that's not nailed down. :0) After Thanksgiving I'm going to switch back to a healthier diet.

Thank you Brandnew414. :-) The only post op massages I've had is my boyfriend rubbing lotion or baby oil on my stomach. LOL! Salzhauer's office discouraged the massages when I asked, so I didn't get any.

Make sure you bring pics. Right before the surgery I showed him a powerpoint presentation and I had it broken down in 4 sections: Ideal volume, Ideal hip-to-waist ratio, ideal overlap (the bottom of the cheeks), and terrible results (pictures of butts that I did NOT want mine to look like). I tried to pick females who for the most part already had my body frame. Overall, he is a very skilled doctor and you will be in great hands. I dont regret choosing him one bit. For ex. I didn't ask him for hips, but he was able to visualize what would look better with my shape and added them....I thought I already had enough hips...lol. He is really good about tailoring your booty to your body and doesn't make everyone's butt look exactly the same. It'll still be big and full, but very natural looking. In my opinion, that is his greatest skill.

AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL! ANY advice i have my surgery with Dr. Salzhaur on Dec 17.? Something you would've done different?

Thank you FinishingTouch143!!! {Blushing} :-) I definitely would have toned up my legs more and tried to slim down some more. Because I had lipo to my arms, flanks, and abs, my upper body looks great but my lower body not so great. My ass and hips are the only thing rocking on my lower body, my thighs and legs look out of shape. Now 3 weeks out, I'm obssessed with being able to get into the gym and tone up these legs....i'm talking Serena Williams style but not as manly! lol As far as supplies or preparation, I feel like I was very prepared. Do not forget the shower curtain to lay on the bed for your first 24 hours!!! I think that's about it. If you have any questions for me PM me, I'll be more than happy to answer them. MsCheshireKitty is also really good to answer questions from a medical/nurse point of view.

Sorry to have fallen off of the face of the earth....

Sorry to have fallen off of the face of the earth. I've been taking it easy and trying to recover each day. I'm operating at about 75%. I'm still very sore and swollen in my stomach and back areas. As far as my travels back from Miami, I ended up catching a flight that was empty so I was able to lay across three seats. When I took took the Charter bus back to New York, I paid for two seats so I could lay down. The only time I had to really sit was when I went to the hair salon on Saturday. I tried to hold out but I was already 1 month overdue!! It doesn't help having a fresh new booty with wolverine hair! lol
I'll try to take some better pics but I wasn't able to get a good angle with the stupid flash. If you guys have any questions about the process or going through Dr. Salzhauer...shoot away! I think he is a phenomenal PS!
Oh yeah...almost forgot..the CC's. He said that I got 3000 altogether. 200 in each hip and the rest was distributed evenly in the cheeks.

Hey Guys, I actually ended up having my surgery on Wednesday instead of today. If I didn't have my surgery on Wednesday they would not have been able to squeeze me in until next week...unfortunately my hotel was paid up through next Wednesday. My mom at the last minute came up with the idea of driving 2 hours away to fly out of Richmond. We arrived in Ft. Lauderdale a little after midnite on Tuesday and I reported for surgery on Wednesday.

The preparation for surgery:
As soon as I arrived I had to give a urine sample for a pregnancy test. I was immediately given consent forms to sign, surgery knee-hi stockings, and little thick socks to put on over the stockings. I met with Dr. Salzhauer and showed him my powerpoint presentation of Ideal volume wish pics and not-so-ideal pics. He does enjoy wish pics. They didn't waste anytime to get me into the surgery room. About 30 minutes after I arrived I was laid out on the operating table with the IV hooked up. I slowly drifted off and woke up in pain sitting on the boppy. The anesthesiologist was very nice and comforting...his little nurse's assistant-not so much. She wasn't rude, but I felt like even though I was nervous no one really seemed too compassionate about that. I just wanted someone to be more comforting with holding my hand until I fell asleep.

My first night was hell. Pain, bleeding, and more pain. I laid out a shower curtain on the bed to avoid getting blood on the comforter and sheets. My mom has been an absolute trooper in helping me remember to take my meds and supplements on time. Getting up to go to the bathroom has been a challenge. I've been hunched over walking like a little old lady.

My surgery sister MsCheshireKitty sent me pics of her results and Salzhauer did his this!!! I'm going to try to post some pics tonight or tomorrow. I didn't really bruise too much...just a little under my breasts and sides. My stomach is still extremely swollen. Thanks for all of the prayers and support. I'll continue to update you on my journey.

Hi Reeseyvaughn, I hope everything went well girl! Hope you feel better sone. Keep us udapted with your results.

Hey my baby! Give yourself time, each moment you will feel better and better. You had such a nice figure before with those hips you are going to be pure fire once you heal. Girl try taking Motrin, instead of two vicodin , take one vic and a motrin (advil, ibuprofen), motrin is great for relieving swelling and inflammation. I take advil PM and it knocks me out and leaves me feeling comfortable and able to heal. You can call the doc to verify that motrin is okay, but if you watch the videos he has been emailing he said motrin is fine, plus it is easier on the liver. I am here if you need me. Wish you were at the same hotel! Big Hug. Can you believe we are now past the surgery, gosh it was some major anticipation.
