So as you guys know I've held off on the diet to not put the new fat at risk. It's been over 3 months now and so just this week I've started my diet but I'm also on my period so I'll have to wait to see how my body is progressing when the water weight comes off. I'm good about sucking it in for photos though lol.
It's odd how big my booty looks in some clothes and not so much in others. Really throws me off sometimes lol. You can see my thigh lift scar in the white dress on the right side. I was trying to find a dress to wear for my husband on Valentines day but he didn't like any of them so I'll be returning them. Figured it was a good opportunity to take photos of how my body looks in dresses at the moment at 3 months post op.
I can tell there's still stiff scar tissue in all the places that were lipo'd and fat injected. I am still careful to only sit on soft pillows and cushions. I've seen too many girls start to loose their newly placed fat after month 3 so I'm doing all I can to keep what I've got. Around 2 months post op my waist was the same as it is now but my booty was 1 1/8" larger than it is now so yeah booty is shrinking even though my weight has remained the same. Here's the current measurements:
weight still between 135 - 136 lbs
waist 27 inches
largest part of butt 40 1/8"

Really? He didn't like any of those dresses? Those dresses are hot. I don't know too many men who wouldn't think so. Or does he think they're too hot? Lol. You look great!
February 27, 2016
no he just didn't like them. That's ok I've got two more that'll be hear early March and maybe he'll like one of those :)
February 27, 2016
Yes girl the dresses make your booty look good or should I say your booty makes the dress look good! ;)
February 29, 2016
aww gut2butt you're always such a sweet heart. Thank you. Can't wait to see how things look when I finally get down to my goal weight of 130. Hopefully I won't look too much booty while trying to shrink the waist. It's been fun feeling like I actually have a booty now :)
February 29, 2016
Personally I say don't lose. I think your butt will go down too much! But girl it's your body and your choice. U look perfect now
February 27, 2016
Good grief woman! You look unbelievable in the black dresses. I think your husband is insane I think most guys would be drooling!!! You're such a stunner who clearly goes to unreal amounts of effort to look after herself. You look amazing :)
February 28, 2016
i think he said that bcsuse he fÃes not want anybody to look at you! You look amazing in All of the dresses! Why did you ask him!!???
Wear that dress go out and see what happen, I guarantee you will have 3 or 4 new numbers at least!
You are beautiful!

thanks Babakins :) hubby is just particular. I admit it's hard in my 30s to stay thin but what girl on real self doesn't want to feel feminine, thin, and curvy? I feel more comfortable with my body than I did before the procedure even though the thigh lift scar is pretty dark and noticeable. Maybe in the next 6 months if it doesn't lighten I can do that laser procedure to lighten it so I'm not so paranoid about someone seeing it.
March 2, 2016
thanks naye. I asked for his opinion because it's him I'm dressing up for not some random guy. Of course I want to feel pretty and feminine as well but if he dislikes the dress I'm not gonna feel pretty
February 29, 2016
yeah BBL is a tough recovery. With how many inches have already come off I'm concerned as to whether any of the newly placed fat will survive. On a positive note having the banana rolls lipo'd and the thigh lift done has made the booty look larger (smaller thighs make booty look larger).
I agree recovering is harder in the 30s than when we were in our 20s but still better now than later on down the line. I'm 3 months post op and still dealing with the tightness and sore spots. Sitting hurts but it's not too bad when pillows are present. Now is the time when some of the biggest booty changes take place. Either things with settle and start fluffing or further shrinking will occur as the scar tissue soften more.
I gotta get my breast redone soon as well but no sure this year is the year I want to do that. This was a tough surgery and I just may want a break for a bit just like you.

12 weeks post op update
Sorry gals I meant to take my measurements this morning but I've been quite busy so I'll have to post those later today. As far as I can tell my body has remained unchanged for the past few weeks. Still have dog tags and the right outer thigh/hip is lower and larger than the other side.
I find it odd that after almost three months I still have a giant faded bruise on my outer left thigh. It's not obvious in all lighting just some. I raised the camera up to get slightly downward angled photos. This angle doesn't show the tunnel scarring and upward curve under my left buttock.
As you all know my husband hasn't been too kind as of late and said some things I consider to be harsh. Till yesterday I'd worked for 4 weeks on preparing a special Valentines Day with led ribbons, curtains, 25 favorite hubby moment photos, cards, and decorated the whole living area and bedroom. I've decided to reschedule it till further notice since all my spouse can think about lately is himself and all I hear him say sounds negative. I asked him to move into the guest bedroom till he can find a way to be more positive in general, and figure out how to compliment.
I still plan on doing the Valentines Day surprise for him just not yet while he is so unpleasant to be around and behaving ungrateful for what and who he has in his life. In my opinion most girls just flat out would walk out on a guy if he didn't say nice things about her to her face now and again or have something on the side. I've stayed with him for nearly 10 years and chosen not to have something on the side and just deal with not feeling feminine or attractive.
Guess we'll wait and see what happens. Hope you all have a wonderful upcoming Valentines day!

Hey Christie! U look great, honestly very close to perfect! Hope u and your husband work things out ♡♡♡
February 11, 2016
Christie, I've been MIA a while but I wanted to check in on you and I am amazed by your body! You look freaking perfect and your face is stunning too! I'm sorry about your husband, I truly am. Sometimes physical space helps. if I were in your shoes I would probably pull away and move out just to find some clarity and direction. I was single in the military for years and lived alone. I got lonely but I also figured out how to be happy alone. I also have figured out there are things I'm passionate about that I'm going to do with or without anyone else. My passions and ideas anchor me. That helps me when times are rocky. I continue on doing the things I care about. (These things pertain to having a feeling of purpose and Philanthropy...id say there's a little spirituality in there too) My mom used to say your man is your anchor. I'm relieved to say I don't believe or live like that. Even if he treats you perfect or he is perfect, it's still good to be anchored in something else. Nobody is perfect. He probably has some good qualities. I guess we all have to weigh out if the negativity outweighs the qualities. No matter what he's doing, keep your dreams going. If he's holding you back from having a healthy relationship with yourself, maybe take some space and learn to love you! Then he can be imperfect and youre still good on the inside. well anyways...lol... You look amazing!! And your lights!! Love love. He's really lucky!

hi Irish doll I've been MIA for quite some time now. Thanks for the kind words a support. You look great. Hoping to see more pics and updates soon :) I'm starting my diet today and should be on it for about a week or two. When I don't eat crappy foods and just do small healthy portions the weight falls off pretty quick and so does the bloating from dairy and gluten. I'll post updated picks next week ;)

Feeling the need to let off some post surgery steam
Alright girls this will be a venting session for me. I know that nearly 10 years ago I met a man that was very critical, opinionated, and seems to dislike complimenting anyone but himself on occasion. On the other hand we had a lot of hobbies and interest in common. We got along well and he made me laugh often (I love to laugh)
I had already struggled with issues on self esteem and my appearance before him but since this guy liked me I figured it didn't matter whether or not he found me attractive.
It wasn't till 6 years later when I found he had been cheating on me all along and targeting girls that he considered flawless or nearly flawless that my self esteem just went down the toilet. He later confessed he had always found me attractive. I wasn't sure whether I believed him and I'm still not sure.
It hurt then and it hurts now that he's always joking and they are always joking insults (playful) but when you almost never say anything nice about your spouse to them those joking insults about being clumsy, etc... eventually take their toll. I don't believe anyone is immune long term to such comments and jokes when they don't hear positives about themselves to balance it out.
On another note I'm halfway through my period today and I weigh 13.5 lbs. My waist went in an inch to 26 inches down from 27 inches. Bad news is the largest part of my booty went in 2 inches as well and seems to be at 39.5 inches from 41.5 inches :( darn

Are you talking about your husband?
January 31, 2016
yes the one an only. We've been together almost 10 years and that's how long I've been dealing with the compliment vs insult issue.
February 1, 2016
Oh honey, I'm so sorry!! My husband could care less what I look like. Sometimes that could be annoying too! As long as he's getting his ha ha, he could care less. I don't want to say anything mean about your husband but he doesn't seam so nice.
February 1, 2016
my husband has said on numerous occasions he doesn't car what I look like as long as I don't get fat and stay hygenicly clean. Then in the past he'd only be intimate with me every 1 - 2 months only when he wanted to but not when I wanted to. That's part of why my self esteem took such a hit as well.
So far I haven't found a solution on how to feel comfortable and confident in my appearance. When I have surgery I at least feel more comfortable with myself. Yes I've seen therapists and read books but none provide helpful information. Just stuff like say nice things to and about yourself. That in and of itself makes anyone who sees you doing that or looking in the mirror at you think you are vain like my hubby now thinks despite what I tell him :/ oh well maybe one day I just won't care lol

Im so sorry you are experiencing insecurities (rightfully so). It IS important that he compliment you and assure you that you are beautiful. Because you are, and thats what makes you happy. I hope you are telling him exactly how you feel. Although its nice to hear that we are attractive from others, we have to know it for ourselves first. Much easier said than done, but possible. Hope he realizes how lucky he is very soon!
January 31, 2016
thank you allabouther. I wasn't thinking clearly enough to finish my post. It was the cheating that most made me feel like I wasn't good enough. Every girl that's been cheated on should know it's not about her it's the guy's problem but the results are the same. we beat ourselves up. That was the final straw that broke the camels back.
Now I try to look at myself in the mirror more often instead of avoiding it and think or say positive things about myself.
Just yesterday my husband and I had a talk about the whole mirror thing and he won't listen to the reason I'm doing it. He's made up his mind that I must be conceited and vain because of the mirror thing. Now he has an even bigger excuse not to compliment.
I love him and many things about him but in this one area I think he's a real jerk. With that said I don't know a single girl who doesn't think at times her partner can be a real jerk. I don't feel sorry for myself just frustrated, hurt, and beat down at the moment.

I do not ever think my husband is a real jerk. Clumsy and forgetful sometimes but never a jerk.
February 1, 2016
wow, sorry but ur husband is trippin! you were gorgeous before and still are a knockout today....I want to say alot but I'll just say....you deserve better than a crushed self esteem and an ungrateful husband. You are a goddess
February 1, 2016
thanks teebundle. If I worked out of the home an on occassion recieved a nice word here and there my self esteem wouldn't be this difficult to work on. We had another talk last night on him not complimenting and more excuses were made. He seems convinced I must be vain and won't listen. He doesn't understand that I'm making an effort at looking nicer so I can feel pretty and feminine. I spent most my life being a tom boy and now that I'm in my 30s I'd like to experience femininity and stop hiding behind so many layers of clothes, with thin hair pulled back in a ponytail, and no make up. I'd like to feel comfortable, confident, and good about my appearance while I'm still young. I don't see what's so wrong with that. He just shakes his head, interupts, and without hearing me tells me the evidence I'm conceited and vain lies in the mirror that since surgery I'm preoccupied with my appearance in the mirror, visiting realself, watching videos on how to do my hair, comparing my body to other girls (visiting other real self profiles and comparing results) and buying make up. That's proof of conceit in his eyes.
February 10, 2016
It sounds like you are in an abusive relationship with a narcissist. I would love if you purchased and read the books "Why Does He Do That?" And "Codependent No More". I'm sure he did and does feel attracted to you since hes an emotional vampire and find draining you enjoyable. I've been there. You should really consider if this is how you want to spend the rest of your life. I'm sorry you're going through this.
