Feeling good

Today my butt looked big/good in my clothes. Everyday i look and feel different. Thats why i said i would wait and stop obsessing over my figure.

5 weeks 1 day post op Bye Bye Booty :ยท(

Sorry i have not been responding or posting pics. I worry and obsess over the decreasing size of my butt and the fat rolls on my back and lumps and bumps and a zillion other things. This process really brings out your phobias hang ups and secret hopes and fears. Soo much so, that i decided to stop looking stop taking pics and stop worrying...,,, i even started sitting on my butt. Whatever happens will happen.

I look better in my clothes and in the mirror. I still look fat on candid shots. ???? idky..,you can't tell from the pics, but my stomach is flat. My back/waist is much smaller but i have a roll. Cant wear a back out shirt, hopefully it will continue to shrink. My original faja/ girdles are too big and loose. If i dont wear anything, feels like my whole body/all my fat is falling down or settling low. My doctor recommends wearing only 12 hours i day, i usually wear about 20 hours a day. To replace i bought a waist cincher and medium spanxs type girdle at sears 20 for cincher 50 for spanx.

The dent across my butt upper hip area, that i had before surgery, is becoming more visible. Other than that my butt has a nice shape. It is now regular average sized, i think. At this point i am happy, hey its much better than what i had, but its not the butt of my dreams....if it gets any smaller i will be crushed. I am hoping that after the 5 week mark, most if not all of the volume has already been lost. It seems 30% smaller now. I am considering a revision, if my dents become more visible, it will be hard for him to refuse. Cant see them in girdle but the area is circled in another pic. Doctors must approve u for a revision. Although i dont want to go through the trouble or the pain again. Feels like having a baby, many women go back for a 2nd round and its like they forgot how painful it is, like when u have a baby and then want another, forgetting that u damn near died. The mostly male doctors describe it like its a walk in the park minor outpatient surgery. No, it is major surgery with a long stressful uncomfortable recovery and any time u r put to sleep u r risking death. So i dont want to rush into another surgery unless its necessary. A revision costs about 2000 i think. I know u have to pay for anesthesiologist and hospital fee lab work. Plus im from out of state so recovery house plane ticket transportation. It will quickly add up. Anyway, i wouldn't say that a recovery house is absolutely necessary maybe the first night to make sure u dont die, but other than that u can order take out and walk around. Bringing a friend is fine, plus i dont like being treated like a child or being told what to do. My recovery house had lots of rules. Also i cut holes in the butt cheeks, which i immediately regretted

Update

I havent been posting lately, sorry. Im having issues with my new look. My butt still looks good in clothes but it is dropping. I had a raised boxy area at the top of my butt above my hips. As i lose weight this dent/bulge is becoming more noticeable. Also the middle of my butt looks flat. Im not sure if i need a revision or a touch up. Or if i can get lipo on those bulges, only, will post pick
