Oh my god!!!

WORTH IT
Last night I was so swollen. I guess I still
Can't go shopping all day. Lesson learned. But my lower abdomen was so puffy. So I used i four inch paint roller as instructed and rolled down my stomachs to move the fluid.... it [RS bleep] hurt. And then I slept on my stomach on the floor last night.... and well... I woke up looking better than ever!! :)
My body doesn't look unrealistic. It looks natural. It looks feminine. For the first time in my life I have a flat stomach and still have some curves on the back side.
If you are apple shaped and you've struggled with your body image your whole life, I highly recommend doing this. I feel so beautiful and so confident. This is something that diet and exercise could have never given me... a normal body. I'm so happy. I'm excited for the swelling to go further down and to start working out my abs.... five more weeks until I can do squats and make this butt bigger. The heart shape though. Ugh so happy.

I hate all of the typos in this. Please ignore. I hope this helps someone at least :)
Hi how many ccs did you get on each butt cheek?

Feeling better

Yesterday was rough. But today I feel great. I feel beautiful. And I feel extremely happy that I did this. I am no longer on pain meds... I'll just save the rest for a rainy day.

Love my figure and I am excited for it to get better over time as the swelling goes down.

Dr. Shah is lovely... I'd recommend him to anyone.

This is no joke

Recovery sucks. Maybe I am just impatient. But I wasn't really prepared for this taking so long.
I am very frustrated with the swelling. I wanted a flat stomach but I have this puffy pooch below my belly button. There is still fat there which is extremely disappointing but also it is rock hard and swollen. I guess I wasn't prepared for that to happen and I know I need to be patient but I am not used to being this patient and just having to wait something out. I really want to start working out my abs but I am nervous about screwing up the grafts and it already looks to me like they are reducing in size compared to day one. I'm trying really hard to keep them.
I think after so many days of recovery this is just finally taking a toll on me and I am overly fussy and tired. I believe the swelling will go down but once again I just feel fussy and ready to be healed. *sigh*
I really hope this heals up the way I want it to.

I think it will look better when the swelling goes down *fingers crossed*
How was your recovery following post-op day 5? I am having a BBL in a few weeks and am really nervous about the recovery time myself.
Day 5 sucked. Today is six and I feel great. I can't be the overachiever I usually am but I am able to go shopping, drive around with the pillow.
Did you get a BBL?
Hi, this is one nicest BBL I have seen here. Very natural, healthy looking woman body. I wish my bbl would have given me the same shape.... Great job
