Under the Knife...again! *Dr. Hughes* - Culver City, CA

Left to my devices, I decided to selfie some photos in front of a giant window, and then let all of you bask in its glory :)

Tomorrow marks 9 weeks post op. The first four went SO slow, and now time is just flying by.

I've been sitting for about 4 weeks now, and slowly starting to sleep on my back (I'm generally a stomach sleeper anyway.)

I still feel swelling and tightness in my flanks (he sucked the [RS bleep] outta these bad boys!), and sometimes they're a little more sore than I'd like. Get the same feeling, although not as intense in my abs, but otherwise I feel good.

This, seriously, has to be one of the best decisions of my life, and I only wish I had done it sooner.

If you are on the fence, don't be. Just do it. You will be SO happy you did. Plus, you get an entire new wardrobe out of it, because I promise you're not squeezing those new cheeks into your old jeans.

Dr. Hughes is an artist. He's not warm and cuddly, and won't be your best friend, but he will make you look like a million bucks. Plus, he responds to your emails personally and QUICK.

I should have taken my jacket off for these photos, because my waist is slammin', but you get the idea.

So my measurements say my butt hasn't gotten smaller (45-46"), but my eyes disagree.

Measurements today:
Bust: 34.5 (no change since last post; 1.5" overall)
Waist: 30.5 (1" smaller since last post 2.5" overall. Still have a hard lump on my right side which will eventually reduce this measurement.)
Hips: 38 (no change. Although, my flanks which I used to be able to grab a handful of are completely gone- so this measurement is baffling.
Butt: 45-46. No change since last post, but appears smaller.

I did go out Friday night and the comments were no joke. Although, I don't know if I had more compliments on my hair or my bum. Doc should have just put me into an induced coma for four months- so I didn't have to deal with the pain of watching my backside shrink, and waiting for my front side to shrink.

So funny that all of us are so afraid to sit just in case we cause the fat to die, but dammit I've tried squishing the sh*t out of my thighs and those bad boys just will not shrink.

My girlfriends keep saying now that I've fixed one part I'm focusing all of my energy on what doesn't look good. So I'm working on being happy with what I've got. ...or booking another appointment hahaha. Kidding.

I've been sitting more frequently while driving, but overall sitting is slightly painful, slightly awkward. So back to standing or my stomach I go.

Thats all for now :)
