It's All Mine!

Well ladies, it's been a long road. I can officially say today made 90 days and the booty I have is here to stay! I waited to work out until this day (not intentionally, but life just got in the way). I start my training sessions again on Saturday and all the drinking and eating I did for my birthday is over! I gained 5 lbs since surgery but I'm not too concerned, I will be dropping that and about 15-20 more lbs in no time. I have to admit I am a little concerned about my butt being too small, but I can't stay at this weight. My stomach isn't as lumpy as it used to be but still have some hard areas. I have minimal bruising (mostly dark purplish area in between my thighs and a little on my sides - I'm assuming this was from the much needed aggresive lipo!). My arms are much bigger than I would like so it's a huge motivating factor to get some pounds off. My butt still measures the same size (44-45") but it is definitely not the same booty it was immediately post op. So ladies, listen up when people tell you DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR 1 MONTH OR 2 MONTH BOOTY! I still like my shape but I feel I have more hips than booty. My butt doesn't stick out like a bubble but it has some "weight" to it. My bf loves it!!!!! It's definitely soft now and it moves like any other piece of fat. I'm still adjusting to the stares and admiration I receive from men (and women). I still have no feeling in the back of my leg. Dr. Cortes told me it could be that way for a while so I'm going to give it about 2 more weeks before I start to see someone about it. Surgery is addictive, I've already contemplated a couple other areas that could use some fine tuning but I'm going to sit still for the moment. I am still using scar cream and cocoa butter lotion on my scars. Most of them are disappearing quickly but I have a few that are a little raised and may not go away completely :(. It's been fun ladies, thank you so much for all your tips and support throughout this journey. I will be checking in from time to time, muah!

20 More Days and This Booty is Mine!

I can not wait to sit, lay down, and do all the things normal ppl do! I have the date marked on my calendar and an alarm set on my phone to go off at midnight! I'm gonna toss and turn all I want that night! I'm still 45" now so I'm hoping I don't see too much of a drastic change over the next 3 weeks. My booty has dropped some, it looks more natural and so do my hips. I'm ready to get in the gym regularly but a part of me has been scared I could lose my butt. I think I feel more comfortable just waiting until its officially mine.

My waist hasn't gone down anymore, still a 30 inch. But I haven't been waist training or wearing the garment. My self massages have been helping with the lumps and I still use my Mederma and Vitamin E oil every day. I love my curves so far! Update again on D-day!

9 Weeks Post-op!

Hey ladies, just stopping by...doing great. Meds helping nerve pain, still no feeling in back of my leg. Somewhat less swelling in my stomach. Haven't had a massage in a couple weeks. I do selfs dashed at home though. Body looks very natural and curvy. My butt isn't hard anymore. It jiggles when I walk and I love it! I lay on my back now for about 5-10 minutes. I've gotten tired of the stomach position. I also sit without a cushion at times. But for no more than 30-45 minutes. And when it's necessary (getting hair done, went to a fancy brunch and couldn't bring my cushion). No garment but I wear a waist trainer sometimes. I love my curves! Sex is definitely different! More exciting, especially when things move that never moved before. I am so much more spontaneous. I only have 31/2 more weeks before I'm back to normal and I can sit, exercise, lose weight, sleep and not worry about losing anything. I'm still measuring 36-30-45
