2-month Update

Hi Ladies! All is well with my recovery. The 6 deep tissue massages got rid of the lumps in my stomach. I still get a sharp pain in my stomach, waist or lower back sometimes but I feel back to normal. I started sitting occasionally at 3 weeks and now I sit all the time. I no longer use my butt pillow. I haven't had any complications or lost volume. I only wear my faja at night since 6 weeks. I still wear the Vedette 944 and 929 that I wore post-surgery but I'm in a medium now. I ordered 2 MariaE 9152 in 1x and 2x but they were just too tight and I gave up trying to get them on due to exhaustion and frustration. I was concerned about embolism and swelling. I still wear my ab board and foam every night. During the day, I wear my waist trainer along with the Sweet Sweat belt and Sweet Sweat grease. I also wear the Sweet Sweat thigh trimmers. Sweat actually runs down my legs and stomach while exercising so I am very satisfied! When I go out, I wear my Leonisa 022239 girdle with butt lift. It's my favorite. It's moderate compression with boning and the butt has soft fabric. It's very comfy with no seams and can be worn with anything. I even wear it with yoga pants and it doesn't show. I still swell in my stomach and lower back. My butt is jiggly and still softening. It is dropping and settling. If any of you have cellulite on your ass like me, a butt lift does NOT get rid of it. I knew that, but damn!!! I'm researching Cellfina and Cellulaze now. I love my butt even more now that it's dropping. Everytime I take my garment off, I feel like I'm opening a gift. It's a beautiful feeling and I hope all of you experience the same feeling! XoXo

6 Weeks Post-op

Hi ladies, sorry it's been awhile. It's true as with many others who are post-op that we get back to our normal life after spending months on here researching. I know it's frustrating not getting updates from us so I'll try to make sure and update every milestone. I am feeling great. I'm definitely still recovering but I have my energy back. I will start exercising next week only focusing on my thighs, arms and stomach. I will try not to lose weight until 3 months to prevent losing volume/fat in my butt. I eat a lot of fatty protein. I was 48 inches 1 day post op and now 47. I'm now waist training a few hours a day. My favorite is the Ann Chery with 3 rows of hooks and a 25 steel bone trainer. There's quite a few brands. I think i have Dilanna? Lena still checks on me and that says a lot about his practice. I am still very satisfied with my results and amazed at my stomach! The Devil is a damn lie to have me thinking it was impossible for my stomach to be flat with lipo alone! Dr. Alvarez is awesome. **Feel free to inbox me any questions

2 weeks post-op

I still have numbness, tightness and lumps. It's very true what everyone says about the emotional rollercoaster. I had a serious "[RS bleep] this faja" moment Saturday. I was over this recovery and the work it takes to get the desired results. I felt like I was suffocating and confined. I got over it but it was rough. As much as I read, researched and prepared, I underestimated the emotions, but I know it's normal. I already had a sbelt (shown in the pic) and a Squeem. I'm Starting my waist training. I haven't taken my measurements.
