ok I do have 2 regrets and it is that i should have not gained so much weight and I should have kept working out just to have my body prepared for this intense surgery. I am swollen, emotional, stiff, bruised up, and sore as hell. I am going to buy a full body garment and cut the butt out to help with the swelling. I will remain strong and I will keep updating even on my bad days. Do I think my doc gave me the results I wanted, as of right now no. However she has changed my body in a way I couldnt by just working out. She did change my shape i just want more hips and projection in my butt. My butt is still hard and I am still swollen so who knows it may change for the better. My mom told me today that the first part is taken care of, so when I am approved I must take what I am now working with and perfect it in the gym, eat right, and stay positive so that is what i will do.

listen girlie u out of all people wanted this more than anything you had so much faith in yr doctor and im going to tell u this the same faith u had in her still keep that faith in her. YOU R ONLY A COUPLE DAYS POST OP. calm o down girlie!! i think u might be getting the after effects of anesthia it tends to give ppl irritation, insomnia and the slight depression. U ARE SWOLLEN RIGHT NOW YR BODY IS RECOVERING THE ONLY WAY IT KNOWS HOW !!!! dont be hard on yrself at all dear its not because u stop working out its because yr body is going thru RECOVERY okay!!! dont stop updating look at how many reviews u have read with gilrs having the same problems yet yr being so hard on yrself for this.u r to early to be looking at yr body and making judgement. if u r really swollen u should wear a faja it will be uncomfortable but it will help with the swelling. and think if it this way if u swollen then that means she lipoed the [RS bleep] out of u which is a goood thing!!! eat some choclate it will help with the blues okay!!!i will be checking yr update tomorow and i hope to see u r feeling a whole lot better. ask for anxiety med or a sleeping medication.

lmfao!! yes get yr chocolate on then okay doll!! yr body is overwhelmed and yr mind is starting to get over whelmed too. i will keep u in my prayers okay and if the swelling is extremely bad wear a faja or a garmet to help with the swelling!! watch this to shall pass doll okay!! u r getting the after sx blues ITS NORMAL the anesthia will do that to ppl, mostly women its a proven fact. but choclate is the most natural and best cure for that. yes so eat lots and lots of choclate okay!! look at assforday i think was her username but she had all of stressing and thinking the worst and now she is so yes much better. thank god everyday for healing and i promise each day will get better u are a strong women u had a child so u very strong!! if u can do that u can do this!!! TRUST ME any questions u call afifi but wear a garmet. my aunt who is post op nurse said u can take ambiem for sleep and xanax for anxiety and un easy ness okay. u can ask afifi for prescription if not yr regular doc and its safe!! i will keep u in my prayers for sure!! and if i dont write u sooner merryxmas okay!!!

She is a great doctor, I never said she wouldnt do it right. I do believe she did her bet at shaping me based on how my body was. I regret gaining so much weight and I cant blame her for not giving me projection, cus she cant tell the fat where to go or how to go. So it most def aint her fault. My body and butt is starting to look good, I def see a difference. I have a waist and my butt is starting to form. I will post pics, my body is not at its final result so I know it will get better.

DR. Afifi is a great and caring person but as of right now I am not satisfied with my butt. It doesnt look the way I want it to look. I am sad and upset but I do know I am only 3 days post op and things may get better but I wanted and expected to see results from jump. I just want to leave this form alone for a while and just rest and get booty off of my mind. If my body changes I will come back. Until then ladies this is good bye. :-(

Thank you for posting your new restroom position! I didn't buy a funnel cause I had a feeling it'd be worthless & thought there should be a certain position I can figure out. So I tried what you posted and it worked! yay! lol. However, I found that instead of squatting, if I lift my butt the highest possible with hands on toilet, it was easier to push out the pee. Are you getting that feeling too? I'm having to force A LOT of pressure to make it come out. Is this normal? I'm only 1 day post op.... Thanks again for your suggestion! :)

The only reason I dont want to lift to high is because I dont want to lift the toilet out of the ground, I already broke my moms toilet roll holder lol but I drink alot of water so when I gotta go, I gotta go and it comes out right away. I dont squat, I sit my thighs on the toilet, which kinda forces ur butt up.

If I could do it again I would not have gained 20 lbs. After looking at my original pre op pics I should have just stayed as I was and let her sculpt that body. I was working out 2 times a day to improve my body,and I probably would have healed better and not have been so swollen. That is kinda my only regret now because I initially wanted to gain 15 pounds so I stopped working out and started eating and I couldnt stop eating lol So I gained like 20 or more actually. It happened so quick. I think these docs will know where to get the fat with any size we are and gaining weight just adds to much fat and they only can take out so much i.e 5 liters in cali. If you think about it that fat adds up quick. I think my waist would have been tiny and my butt would have popped more. Although i am still healing and it takes a while to see the final results I just kinda regret gaining so much weight. 20 pounds is a huge amount and for anyone wanting to gain weight I would just say think long and hard about that. But hey we live and we learn. No worries. Im just having a little rant.
