BBL and BA with Dra. BAEZ...2 month post op

I've been going to the pool for some sunbathing almost all week. I don't want to expose my lipo scars to the sun so I wear a high waist skirt. Underneath the skirt, I always wear my Spanx. Today I decided to go without one so I could wear a bathing suit. For the first time, I didnt feel the numbing or burning sensation I usually feel on my abdomen and back. It felt so good not having to feel rushed to put the damn thing on. Don't get me wrong, the Spanx is sooo much more comfy than the faja but its liberating going without one. I cant wait until I have the option of not wearing one...I will be burning all these fajas! Lol right now though I have to keep wearing it cuz my belly does get bloated and it gets stiff like a board. Oh boy, the things us Ladies go through to improve our bodies!

Time has flown by much quicker than I had anticipated! I'm so happy those painful and sleepless nights are way behind me. I wasn't looking forward to the recoup time but it was and has been better than I imagined. Reading these forums is pretty scary especially when you're not sure what to expect. The first few days are horrible to say the least and they seem to go by the slowest. By wk 2, pain turns into discomfort and things begin to improve physically and mentally. I say mentally because the first week is so challenging, you begin to doubt your choice. You go through an emotional roller coaster where one day you're regretting the whole procedure, the next you're getting use to the changes, the following you'll question your overall results. Its crazy but eventually after trying on clothes and seeing your new self, you begin to realize that things are falling into place. I'm quite happy with my results and feel great. I'm still sleeping on my boppy pillow because the sides of my butt (where I received the fat transfer), get sore if I sleep on it for too long. I've also gotten use to sleeping on a bunch of pillows...my husband hates it cuz I'm a foot higher than him. My only complaint are the scars which I hate! They are tiny and the silicone strips are lightening them but I'm too impatient. I want them gone but I have to do the silicone treatment faithfully for 3 mon. I've got 2 months to go! Urrrggghh!!! I made an appointment to see a dermatologist in one month for laser treatment...yes I'm very very impatient! I'm still wearing my Spanx like a good girl and most likely will continue using it even after the 3 month mark. They give your ass an incredible lift and makes everything you wear look devine! I still get swelling on my abdominal which I dislike so much. Makes my belly look disfigured if I go too many hours without my girdle. Until that disappears, I will not give my Worth It thumbs up.

I get asked alot questions regarding clothing. In the first few weeks, I lived in the clothes I took to the RH which were long, stretchy maxi dresses. You want to stay away from jeans cuz it chokes your booty...fat survival is of essence!! At wk 3 when I returned home, I wanted to see how I looked in jeans. I attempted to get into my jeans and it was impossible! All my jeans went up but wouldnt button. I was only able to get into one and my butt looked ridiculously big. It felt very uncomfy so on wk 5 I tried my jeans again and I fit into most. I guess they didnt fit initially because of the swelling. I havent had to buy new clothes/jeans. I still fit into my size 27 jeans...just my butt is fuller and bigger. I never wore belts and now I have to cuz they fit big at the waist. I've always worn S/XS shirts so I havent had to buy new ones. They fit good at top but even the XS fts lose at the waist. I dont fit into my XS button downs since my boobs are no longer an A cup. I've bought a few new bras but have fpund it difficult to find a good fit. I couldnt wait to go into VS and get a sexy non padded bra. I've always worn heavely padded bras...never once looked at their non-padded inventory. Well, they dont have nice non padded bras unless full coverage is your style. I ended up having to try on some padded bras but they felt so uncomfy! Either my boobs are super sensative or VS bras arent as comfy as I thought! I tried on over 7 of their bras and non gave me the fit or feel I was looking for. I was fit to a 34B/32C but both fit tiny/small. 34C/32D was better but not great. It was frustrating. So I've been wearing 34C Calvin Klein bras that I bought at TJ Maxx that fit nicely. I'm gonna wait a bit longer for a bra shopping spree.
