SpongeBob to Jlo Booty - Beverly Hills, CA

Been massaging like crazy 1-2x a day. In the shower and out.

I'm pretty happy with my butt size right now. It has gone down a bit.. I was sad at first but with clothes on it looks big. I didn't want it to be too noticeable. Because it's already causing too much attention!!! Lol

I'm not very happy with my stomach. The sides of my waists are swollen and have lumps as well as the front causing me to be wide and not have a smaller waist and my lumps are still there and feels stiff. I scar very easily, I feel like this is why?. My waist is probably only an inch smaller than what it was before. I do like the way my lower back dips in and gives it a curve. Just not from the front or back view I'm not that happy about. I'm getting nervous and hope my waist shrinks ... My hips did get bigger but this whole surgery I was aiming mainly for a smaller waist for the hour glass shape. Not too much hip to make me look bigger than I already was. This journey is definitely a roller coaster. Some days I'm happy then when I go home and look at my stomach I get sad all over again. I ordered the Ann chery waist trainer in pink. Hopefully that does something.

Started wearing my Leonisa garment now even though it's a [RS bleep] to put on since it's so tight. And on top wearing the post op binder + thigh compressions and notice that my swelling is going down much more. My lower back is feeling less numb also and creating more of an arch! Yay. Stomach is flatter today too. I started massaging already using bio oil after I shower. Here's a before and after back side .. Huge difference !

Also here are some things I didn't really use that I bought for surgery.

The compression socks.. Bought two pairs and didn't really wear them. I didn't feel like my feet got swollen or anything.

The ab board .. It helps but uncomfortable to wear. Didn't see noticeable difference since I had so much compression from the foam and binder already.

Vitamin c tablets .. I took these but they made my stomach upset so many times even after eating. Not worth it.

Things that are a must :
p EZ!!! If you don want to pee on yourself you need this in your life. You'll be peeing 25 times a day for a week and more.

Wipes! Disinfecting wipes! Feminine wipes!

Abdominal pads or regular long period pads! You will be leaking from your incision where your pubic area is. Some people have more fluids than others .. I used them for 4 days and I had SOO much fluid. Better to be prepared than not have them.

Chux pads or dog pee pads. My friend and I bought a box of 100. Used about 75 together. We both leaked a lot the first two days on our beds. Didn't realize we used that many because our boyfriends changed our pads.

Arnica, EVERYTHING. Arnica gel, tablets, and TEA! The tea is great.

Memory foam pillows!!

A robe because you won't have anything that fits unless you bought a bunch of large clothing. You don't want to wear anything that puts pressure on your new grafted fat cells. Wearing clothing on top of the post operative garments is so annoying and painful unless you have large pajama dresses those are good. you'll be changing a lot cause the fluids.

Stool softeners A must!
