5 weeks :)

Feeling great as usual. Yesterday I went to the mall with my bf and wore leggings!!! I've never worn leggings IN MY LIFE! It felt great.

I want to start back working out, at least walking, but I won't start til after next week when I'm past 6 weeks. I don't want to lose any fat by losing weight but I don't want to get a fat stomach again so the sooner I can do crunches, the better. Plus its holiday season and I'm not going to lie like I'll be eating salad the whole time! No maam No sir.

I'm going out for my friends bday this weekend so it'll be my first time in heels going out so I think it'll be fun dressing up. I love my results still, but still looking forward to see if fluffing is real.

I tried running, but the moment my butt goes up and down it hurts like hell! I still dont like sitting long because it will hurt. I'm still tender on my upper butt, and my lower back. But overall, I think I'm progressing pretty well. I still have a scar at the two inserts in the front and the one where the drain came out. Hopefully its gone by summer time :)

Talk to you next week guys!

Hey just checking on you. Wanted to tell you walking is good for you. It won't make you lose fat in you butt. Walking at an incline is great too. I was doing modified P90X at 4 weeks. I couldn't wait to workout.

Hola ladies!!!!
It's crazy how the weeks are just going on by. My body looks the same as last week, still love my results. I went out this weekend, drank my life away, had a good time, and loved the way I looked.
I went shopping for an outfit to wear this last Saturday and I went down a jean size!!!! I'm super excited. The jeggings, stretch fit jeans are super flattering. I don't think ill be buying regular jeans for quite a while. They don't show off enough lol
My physical therapist is great and my swelling is slowly decreasing in my back and stomach. I fell 90% like myself again! I can touch my toes, stretch and all that. It still hurts when I sit down though; its still some hard parts here and there that haven't softened all the way.
Other than that, its wonderful, carbs and all. I haven't followed that poor 6 week diet at all. I sit down, I just made my own lil rules. But its been working for me thankfully. I'm just glad I'm at the point over that 3 week mark where the fat is finally stable. Well, See ya at 5 weeks!!

P.S. Don't forget to vote :)

Glad you are a regular acrobat at 3 weeks :-) I followed the diet they recommended but with my own twist as well. It was easy to avoid white bread since I never eat that anyway. Wishing you continued speedy healing.

Im just trying to keep up with you! You're definitely my favorite on here. You are too lucky; Im a bread fiend. I've stopped eating white a long time ago though since I lost weight. I hope you are healing well or almost done and 100% yourself. I just want New Years Eve to get here so I can dress up and shake something!

Oh! Just thought of some stuff.

Once I removed the steri strips, I used A&D ointment to rub the scabs off and cocoa butter to make it unnoticeable. My scars are almost gone and I didn't spend a lot of money to do it :)

For those that may have the impressions or garment digging in your skin, the hand clog technique works! I was so scared that it would be permanent but TIME heals all! Just place a hand towel between the area and the garment (for me, I'm using a waist camisole. It's like a tight shirt but leaves your boobs out so I can wear any bra.)

Idk how much volume I lost and honestly its hard for anyone to know because in the beginning there is so much swelling. The swelling was never a part of the results so that cant be counted. Either way, I love what I have and wouldn't change this decision for anything in the world! Dr. J automatically accounts for the fat absorption, he says it all the time, so he knew just what I needed. Any bigger and I would get questioned about "if I got my butt done". I may still get asked next summer when I show off since people who knew me forever KNOW that I didn't have any ass lol But It looks natural and that's all I wanted

Wow results look good glad to see your healing well. How soon did you start getting freaky? Are you doing self massages at all? Waist cincher?

Thank you! Umm a little after 2 weeks. It was difficult then and it still is now, but its better. He just likes grabbing and thats a no-no, at least til the 6 week mark. Ive tried laying on my back with pillows under me and its cool, until my butt starts hurting. Its a process lol I self massage whenever I get out of the shower in my lipo areas (stomach/back) with arnica cream and thats about it. Im using a form of a waist cincher, but honestly my thigh started to swell a little so you probably should wear the garment as long as you can. I just gave up on mine because it was digging in my back and it freaked me out.

I did get a triangle that kinda shapes the upper butt that I wore for like a week, other than that my body pretty much shaped itself.

I'm happy that everything is continuing to go well for u! The more Dr. J. successes I see, the more at ease I'm becoming (still only 60% there). Did someone from Dr. J.'s office tell u about the Lovenox/Arnica contraindications? I'm happy I went back to read your review because I was thinking of taking Arnica b4 the surgery.

Yes, he is really winning across the board. You will be in great hands. Actually on the Arnica bottle I recieved, it said not to take it with blood thinners because it further weakens your blood. So its good for those Drs' patients that dont recieve Lovenox, but for us, its too risky. I didnt want to risk bleeding too much during surgery.
