4'11, 130lbs - Ready to finally have a booty!! - Dallas, TX

Well the healing process is still pretty rough. I have good moments and I have bad. The worst of it is feeling stiff after laying down for too long especially in the mornings! That's when it's the worse! My bod is still very swollen, however I am at pre sx weight, I'm expecting to go down about another 5-7 lbs since doc discarded about 1 pint of fat. Just keeping up with making sure I stay hydrated and being patient. I know it takes time for everything to go back to norm. So far loving my results more and more each day!

Ugh mornings are rough!!! It's like everytime I get super comfy and lay in a position for too long, the second I try to move my bod is stiff to where I don't want to move! Guess that will have to just go away over time.. However feeling really great about my results so far! At first my booty seemed really square and high, but doc and nurses assured me that it will start to drop and fluff out to be more round, and I can say that I can already see the diff! Pain level: 1-2 only when my body is stiff Using the restroom (#2) regularly now Massages: been giving them to myself twice a day Weight: day of sx 147, today 133 :) Spoke with Dr O last night found out that he took out a total of 5 liters of fat!!! And was able to put back in 4L (2000 cc's in each side) so if I do the math right that means he got rid of 5 extra lbs!! So after all the swelling goes down I should be at 128. Which is awesome since my goal weight after this sx is around 120-12! Anyways side note: Happy Momma's Day to all you Dolls out there! Xoxo

Hey ladies! So I finally have enough energy and can focus enough write how my personal experience has been so far. I'm not gonna sugar coat it dolls, I'm so glad I read so many reviews on here because it really did mentally prepare me. So hopefully I can do the same for someone else! So here's my breakdown: 1-7 days post op Pain level 9-10, I've had 3 children and a BA! And I'd gladly go through either if the 2 again before doing this again lol!! My entire stomach felt all sorts of weird! It was numb in some places and not in others. And the places where I could feel were suuuuuper sensitive! It was hands down the weirdest feeling. I was so worried about my @ss hurting that I didn't even think about my tummy hurting! Again the doc gave me 2000 cc's in each cheek and hip!! He was able to pull out a total of 5liters however he literally couldn't fit any more fat inside me! The doc left 2 drains in me, 1 on each side of my pelvic area. Those suck!! It was impossible for me to lay on my tummy, and I'm a tummy sleeper! Luckily my doc said I could sleep on my side, so every night I'd wake up on the hour to go pee (not by choice, I just happen to wake up every hr), so I'd flip, I didn't want to take any chances of becoming lopsided by just sleeping in one side. Swelling/water retention was horrible!!! It looked like I had little Shrek fingers and toes! Been drinking hella fluids! Mostly G2 Gatorade. I was taking 2 hydrocodines every 4 hrs around the clock just so I could bare through it, the stiffness plus the drains, totally sucked and drained all my energy! At times it felt like parts of my stomach was on fire! I also felt the sensation of electrical shock waves going on! (I didn't go through any of this with my BA) Side note-went #2 at 5 days post op thanks to some Milk of Magnesia!! Overall 1st week was no Bueno! At this current state of mind, don't think I'd be able to do this again! 8-9 days post op Pain level 2-3 I'm finally sleeping throughout most the night, I'll flip every 3 hrs or so. And only get out bed to take my antibiotics and use the potty once. Still a lot of stiffness once I wake up or move from a really comfy position. Took out my 1st drain yesterday and then the 2nd one I got taken out today! Yay so I'm drain free!!! Can't wait to see how I'm able to sleep tonight! I'm able to touch on my belly without feeling weird! Still very numb in lots of places. Still swollen, but each day seems to keep getting better and better! Was able to walk around the house and clean and make kids dinner today! So right now I'm feeling great! I know this is really long, and I'm sure I missed some details! But totally open to questions! Attaching some pics!
