Starting BBL journey

Hi guys. I am very pleased to be 6 weeks post op with no complications. I’ve been in my Columbian faja for a few weeks now. And it’s no joke. When they say compression is key they are not lying. Please please wear your faja and no sitting for a minimum of 6 weeks no excuses. And most importantly keep up with the massages. I’m going to keep it real I’m still a little swollen and hard, but will continue to massage. And it’s safe to say I still have along way to go healing wise. Remember guys 3-6months for final results.
I’ve been doing some body weight exercises and taking extra protein in my diet and my bum has actually grown.
I have now added in waist training for extra compression and shaping, and will continue working out and eating well.

I am so miserable. I’m not even going to try and sugarcoat it but, I’m miserable and frustrated. I feel like 6 weeks is going to take forever to come but then again I know it will be here in no time. I just don’t really have anyone to talk about this to you so I thought I’d put it on here about how miserable I’m feeling, I don’t know when the discomfort will end. I feel like I have such a long way to go and I can’t imagine the end of the recovery tunnel.
I don’t know how I feel. Do I regret doing it? No. Will I ever do it again? Hell no!!! I just can’t wait to be able to just relax and sleep properly again. I’m so over lying on my front, kneeling, not sitting down.
This is just a one week sleep deprived review I’m sure in a couple of weeks I’ll be feeling a lot better.
Right now I’m experiencing quite a bit of swelling and this horrible burning sensation which kills me every time I feel it. I can’t nap or sleep for long periods of time without feeling like I’m bursting at the seams whilst being set alight. The first time the burning sensation started I literally felt like I was on fire, then I realised that it’s my nerves trying to repair themselves. I didn’t expect to feel that so early on in the recovery, but hey everybody is different.
I had my one week postop consultation with the surgeon and he said everything is looking good so far and I’ve told him about the burning and he said it’s completely normal.
Oh and by the way I have to tell you about my pain medication experience. I have had previous surgery and I was on the same painkillers and antibiotics but I never experienced the side-effects I have experienced this time. One day I was having such horrible horrible vivid nightmares and when I was awake I felt like I was hearing whispers and then looked up the side-effects of tramadol and realised that hallucinations is listed. That being said I came off that painkiller so quickly, and just started taking paracetamol and ibuprofen. Also I felt really nauseous and threw up a few times. But today was the last day of my antibiotics and I celebrated. I can now going forward try to detox my body because I feel like I’m full of crap!
Sorry for the long post ranting I just had to get my feelings and thoughts out there. Have a good day dolls!

So once I got home I rested up drank a lot and peed a lot my aunt helped me with the medication. Please make sure that you eat whilst taking these medicines as they can make you feel very sick and they also make you very drowsy so I did sleep a lot but I still kept waking up every hour to pee. by the way the female urinal is very very important please make sure that you have one it’s a lifesaver and stops you from having to try to sit when I first woke up from surgery and I wanted to pee I forgot about it and had to squat low which wasn’t painful but not ideal then when I remembered I brought it with me the nurse got it out of my bag and that’s what I’ve been using ever since.
I almost forgot to discuss drains. I didn’t get any drains put in me and I did leak a bit in the hospital but by the time I got home or the leaking has stopped so massages will be very important for me to get all this fluid out.
As of yet I’ve not had a bowel movement and I’m not looking forward to doing it I’m not sure how it will work in this garment as of yet but we will cross that bridge when we get there LOL!
Wiesje Gave me some tips on drinking plenty of water and having a lot of fibre. I’ve been having quite a bit of fruit and salads since I’ve been out of hospital.

So hopefully I will have a bowel movement tonight or tomorrow.
I also had a therapeutic/lymphatic drainage massage as for the first week Dr Cotrufo advises strongly that you do not get any massages on your lipoed areas You do not want to ruin any of the places that he has placed the fat so please listen to him. After that massage I felt a lot better and I’ve been more mobile ever since so walking is a little easier and getting in and out of bed is a little easier too.
I will now try and insert some pictures in my garment you can’t see very much as I am really swollen but I can tell I am much curvier in the waist I have a flat stomach and I have some projection my bum was small and the skin was tight so I know that not much fat could placed there but for me this is perfect as I didn’t want a huge bum so overall so far I am very pleased with what I see.
So sorry it was a long one guys just wanted it to be as detailed as possible. Please if you have questions let me know and I’ll try my best to answer them if I don’t get back to you quickly it’s probably because I’m sleeping because I’m drowsy still lol.
