Brazilian Butt Master Sculptor. Miami, FL

Arnica cream, arnica pills, your antibiotic pills and pain pills, kotex pads (to put inside garment to keep from rubbing), depends (for first days when drains leak), antibacterial cleanser (to shower shoulders down morning of surgery), big loose sundress to put on after surgery, socks (for feet in surgery and during recovery), tylenol (after surgery can rotate with vicoden - I find percocet too strong and makes me depressed), oyster crackers (to pop in mouth when sick), Garment (I only bought one and will wash it after 3 days and let it dry quickly in the direct sun light to save $225), 3 x 7 appx. gauze pads (to put on top of drains - 40), big trash bags or $1.99 painting drop cloths (to put on bed or car seat to keep blood off), Hand lotion on your night stand (your feet and hands will get very dry and aggravating). A face down pillow ( I went to TJMaxx and they have a $19.95 pillow for traveling that will work fine..this saved me $20), Small foam type roller (to put under your upper thighs when you start sitting after day 8), neck pillow or another foam roller pillow ( to put behind back when sitting or driving after day 8). Ergonomic chair (see below).

I am making 2 big pots of chicken brothy soup and vegetable turkey soup to have for the weeks recovery. Cream of Wheat and oatmeal work great the days after surgery. Keep oyster crackers and water on nightstand all the time. At the dollar store they have $.99 flavored sparkling water that seems to work easier for me. This will keep me energized and help me get back to healthy after gaining 12 pounds for the surgery. Lots of protein and low carbs.

Finally. I ordered an ergonomic chair for $75 on Overstock. I looks like it will work marvelously. It is made to sit with most pressure on the front of bottom legs below the knees and some pressure on butt; however, during my recovery i will only place pressure on lower legs to protect my buttocks.. This will be a great alternative to laying on my stomach or standing. I will rotate all 3 for 8 days then I will include the sitting with the roller behind back and under upper thighs after the 8 days and continue for 2.5 more months. Wow, that will be tough but I am positive it will be worth it. Whatever we do..don't put pressure on the buttocks until month 3. will let you know if i forgot something.

Today is 3 days before surgery. I have gained about 12 pounds and I feel FAT. But, it is important for the Dr. to have enough fat to have amazing results. I will eat healthy starting tomorrow. Since the internet says it takes 2 days to make fat I will stop eating 3000 calories a day today. Tomorrow and Tuesday (the 2 days prior to surgery) will not allow ample time to turn to fat so I may as well start shrinking my stomach and go back to mostly protein and about 1500 calories.

I feel a bit swollen today, could have been the fried shrimp last night and the bag of chips. Today I will cut back on salty and as I mentioned completely cut out carbs and salt for the next two days. See Ya.
