12 Weeks Post-Op!

Hello everyone!! Tomorrow morning I will officially be 12 weeks post-op, 3 months exactly. It feels a little odd even. In total I have lost 47 pounds, which is almost half of my weight goal. My doctor says i am doing fantastic given the fact that it has only been 3 months and im supposed to loose 100 pounds in a year. He says that as long as i do my exercises I will be great. The gym is a daily thing for me and it will be for the rest of my life. But i like it. It makes me feel full of energy and like I'm really progressing. Each day week I can do more than the week before, and that is a really good feeling. I tried doing the Insanity workout with my brother-in-law and I almost fainted. LOL. ADVICE: DO NOT EXCEED YOURSELF BEYOND REPAIR! My butt was hurting for a total of two days and today it still hurts, so , three days. 

However, today the focus is not my derriere but GIRDLES! I finally received my colombian girdle. It took a total of 3 weeks to arrive and i have a week wearing it. This is the description for the model:

Super High Compression Controls Waist Line, Abdomen, & Hips. Helps reduce backaches. Abdomen Control, Back Support, Lower Tummy Support. Adjustable Straps, Lifts Bust. Strong Compression ExtraLayer Powernet. Recommended: Daily Use, Post-Lipo, Post-Partum, Tummy Tuck, Shaping Girdle. Mid-Thigh Length, Derriere Enhancer Laced Design. Frontal Zipper, Inside Eyelet Hooks Closure. Reduces and maintains the firmness on your waist line. Corrects and helps your posture. Enhances the gluteus, busts, and shapes your silhouette body.  Many women wear this garment on a daily basis to tone and instantly reduce cm's on their waste, hips and legs while in use. Open Crotch convenient for bathroom use.


The crotch part is hilarious just because one would not wear the girdle without underwear. Going commando on something you wear on a daily basis is NOT an advisable thing to do. The high compression controls help keep the muffins on check, improve your posture, and reduce backaches, which you will get. The adjustable straps make it more comfortable and yet it makes it hurt a little. At the end of the day you wil have marks on your shoulders and they will ache somewhat. RECOMMENDATION: Ladies, adjust your bra straps to fit you tightly because after you wear the girdle , your bra straps will feel loose. The opening at the crotch feels a little funny but its no biggie. Just make sure that you wear a belt with the pants that you'll wear on top of your girdle. Your pants will feel loose. 


Another recommendation: drink a lot of tea. It helps with the detox process and your skin will look and feel great.
