Workout Monday, Exercise Videos And Lipo Update (Again!)
Finally Monday and a new week right??
Sadly, since yesterday I've been sick. Think I'm having a small cold. Mostly my eyes and nose are watery, but it could be alot worse so I will not complain too much. Guess my sitting outside in Hongdae park Saturday night is the reason while I'm sick today.
But even if I'm sick I can't help to do some exercising, but not too hardcore, just enough to make me tierd and some strenght exercise. Only few months left before summer right?
I of course use pink clothes while exercising. Pink everything! Feel work out is alot more fun when wearing pink from top to toe. I'm also wearing face mask inside because my apartment is super small, like a hobbit house, don't wanna make my boyfriend sick also with my bacterias all over the place. I'm also sure some light exercise will make my become better sooner than if I'm just lazy watching youtube all day.
Talking about youtube, I would like to show everyone my favorite youtube exercise videos. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there wanting to become more fit for summer, so I will share to you my best work out vidoes on youtube.
My favorite is Pump It Up. Its cardio exercise with some strenght at the end. I love this video because it's superfun and the music is great! Remember the hit song "Call on me?" a few years ago? The people behind the music video made this awesome work out video also. It will make you sweat, but still its very fun and don't feel like exercise at all. But you will feel like dying at the end!
I also love this user. She makes new fun vidoes like "Twerk exercise". So if you are bored with the same old work out Dvd's this girl have some very fun onces to try out. Dance, twerk and become fit.
One of my other favorite youtube trainers. Her videos are fun doing, sadly she don't have that many vidoes yet, but those she have uploaded are great. Check her out
And at last Blogilates. I'm sure many know this girl already as she is becoming more famous. I love her vidoes for abs. If any of you need inspiration for strenght exercises or want a flatter stomach make sure to see her vidoes.
This is list of some of the vidoes I use when I work out at home. It's still some to cold for me to go out running, meanwhile I will keep watching youtube vidoes.
This is my current stomach after the lipo I had some over a month ago. The swelling is almost all gone. I can feel my stomach is some swollen in lower part of the stomach. But it will take two more months to see a final reasult. So till then I will keep trying to get a more toned stomach, keep exercising and eating healthy. I can still feel some discomfort when exercising, my nerves in the stomach are trying to recover after surgery, but compared to just few weeks ago it's now alot better. This year I wanna buy a bikini. Thats my goal for the next months, work out, eat right, feel sexy!
Hope my videos are helpful for someone out there. Join me and try to get more toned for summer!

Norwegian Meetup and Hongdae~
Yesterday I enjoyed my saturday night going to a norwegian meetup here in Seoul. And it was superfun! I stayed out all night to 8 in the morning before I went home.
Before going to the meetup I told myself to just stay out for two hours and go home before subway stop running. But I guess you can say my plan didn't go as planned.
When I first got to the meetup I was surprised over how many new norwegians that was at the meetup. I've been to meetups before but this time it was many new faces, and new girls! I always want more female friends here in Korea, so I got super happy to finally see other norwegian females here in Seoul I can hang out with.
We met up in a chicken place to of course eat chicken and drink. We drank mostly Soju and beer. A night starting with Soju is always a wild night.
We drank there for around two hours before the group wanted to go to another place. Some ended up going to Gangnam, some went to Itaewon, and me and another girl decided to go to Hongdae to meet up with some of her friends there.
Her friends did not pick up their phone when she called them so we were not able to locate the bar we were going to meet them at. We wanted more to drink so we decided to go to Hongdae park to drink outside while trying to figure out where the bar is. We bought some Soju, some snack and a weird drink looking like coke but tasted like coffee. We were supposed to buy Fanta, got no clue how we ended up with that weird tasting coffee soda drink.
While sitting there drinking a korean guy came over and asked if he and his friends could come and sit with us, he lost a part of a drinking game and had to ask some foreigners to hang out with them as a punishment for loosing. After talking with them for a while we asked them if they knew where the bar is, and yey they were able to show us the way.
At the bar I met many new people, and I tried to play beer pong for the first time in my life. I must say I'm a talent at playing beer pong. My first time and I won like a pro. Maybe I'm good at throwing balls when I'm drunk on Soju?
I don't know how long we stayed at the bar, but I guess it was some hours. Time went really fast, and we had to leave the place because they were closing. When you are out to a bar close in Korea it means its getting very late, probly morning.
Before going home we went to norebang, karaoke room to finish the night with some singing. I love norebang, I never say no to go to a norebang even if it's early morning after being out drining all night. I'm never too tierd to sing.
My saturday night was a big success. I met new people, made new friends, ate chicken, went to Hongdae, drank in a park, played beer pong for the first time in my life, sang at norebang and moreover, I tried Taco Bell for the first time in my life also before going home. Being out to 8 in the morning goes super fast in Seoul. Nightlife in Seoul is super fun. I always tell myself to go home early, but I always end up staying out all night. Even today when being sick I decided to stay out all night. Back home in Norway I'm wild and crazy if I stay out to 4 in the morning. Guess Korea have made me more hardcore.

Happy White Day!
I would like to take a second to tell all females out there Happy White Day!
For those who don't know what white day is, it's valentines day for females on 14th march. Normal valentines day here in Korea females give present to guys, mostly homemade chocolate or chocolate bought from convinience store. One month after, it's the guys turn to give back to the female, which is today. One month after white day, is black day. Where single meet up to eat black noodles together, feeling sorry for being lonely at valentines and white day.
My boyfriend gave me present on guys valentines one month ago, chocolate flowers. So this time he didn't give me any chocolates, but I bought for him instead. We do it the other way around, we are special.
But even if he did not give me chocolate this month too, which I think is okay. He took me out for dinner. His dad sent us some money to enjoy white day together. So we chose to eat out favorite food together, Gamjatang.
Gamjatang is seriously super awesome. And whoever wanna visit korea in the future must try this dish. Its spicy soup with pork ribs, potatoes, vegetables and other yummy stuff in it. Pretty much all things I love in one dish.
And the perfect combination for Gamjatang is the korean alcohol Maehwasu. Maehwasu is plum flavor. Its not so different to soju, but much sweeter and not so strong taste. It's a better drink to first try before soju when arriving in Korea. And moreover, when eating spicy korean food it's perfect combination. My nose goes crazy with eating Gamjatang, but with Maehwasu I can enjoy my favorite food even more.
All in all, my white day has been pretty good. I've enjoyed my free time, dinner time, together with my boyfriend. Eating good food, drinking good drink, talking, having fun together. What more could I ask for? I would rather have a peaceful meal than getting chocolate.
Do you have any similar day in your country?

Diet experience in Korea
I guess most females, or maybe not most, but some females in my age don't feel confident in their body and wan't to loose some weight through dieting. I'm also one of those females. As you have read in my previous enteries in my blog I did liposuction a month ago to get rid of my flabby belly. But before I did liposuction I tried my best to loose weight in Korea.
I have read many places that many foreigners coming to Korea loose weight of eating korean food. Well, I gained weight when I came to Korea. As a student in a korean university It's hard to find food on camus that don't contain alot of carbs. 90% of the food contain mostly rice, or ramyeon or something that is not good for dieting. Back in Norway I tried to avoid carbs as much as possible. But here at least during lunchtime its not so easy. I mostly try packing my own lunch with me, but sometimes I forget.
Also. I'm living together with my boyfriend, which means I eat dinner with another person. It's so much easier eating non-healthy things when not eating alone.
Well. I know this is not good excuses for not eating healthy. But I have tried and also I did exercise many times a week. Even when loosing weight through exercise I could not loose my stomach weight, which was so annoying. So I decided to try out korean diet program. I found a page on facebook for a diet clinic here in Seoul and I decided why not try it.
I made an appointment at the clinic to speak with the doctor and to weight myself. The clinic itself was very modern and pretty. They also have had some famous people who have done diet there. So I felt confident this clinic could help me loose weight fast and safe. It's also known for foreigners when the doctor and staff can speak well english.
The doctor checked my weight and problem areas and told me I should loose 15 kg. To be honest I'm not really sure if I did need to loose 15 kg to become normal weight. My BMI was already on normal weight and I was not fat to start with, maybe curvy but not fat except my stomach. But I did agree to start the diet program, desperate for a slimmer body and the bikini body I have never had.
The program made me drink 3 herb medicines 3 times a day. Before breakfast, lunch and dinner. And also before going to bed at night take some pills. The herb drinks tasted aweful. First day I drank my medicine was at school during lunch. I had to drink a whole big bottle of water to be able to swallow it. It made me feel sick. My friend asked me if I were okay because my face looked blue. I said I did fine, but had to go to the bathroom to pee. I did not pee. I vomited for 10 minutes and my whole body was shaking after for one hour. Feeling sick after drinking my medicines lasted for some weeks up to one month before it got better. I decided to not give up this diet easilly. The pills I took before sleeping is a whole other story. Belive me when I say, these pills are a killer. The pills gave me bad stomach cramps. I had to breath through pain at school and run to the toilet because I had diarrhea. I had these problems every day, for the whole time I did this diet. Except from the pills and drinking herbs I of course had to eat only healthy and not alot. My dinner was around 200 calories, which is not healthy at all and most things I was not allowed to eat. Even things I've learned are healthy like fruit or fish was a hugh no-no. I also exercised everyday or every second day.
I did this diet for around 5 months, and I spent alot of money and pain to loose weight this way. But when you are in Korea, wanting to diet or loosing weight in a bad way is the normal way. I remembed I told my boyfriend I did not loose weight enough as I wanted. He just told me to quit eating. I already ate only 600 calories a day plus exercise. He told me not eating is how korean female does it, so I can do it to. And having eating problems here are not eating problems, it's successful diet.
I would not to this diet again, and I would not tell other people about where to do this diet. I lost alot of weight all together. But thinking back on how sick I felt for 5 months, how much my stomach was hurting, the cramps was so bad, having to be careful not to go anywhere without a toilet, hard to meet friends, count every calorie, being told by doctors I did not try hard enough even if I almost did not eat and sick everyday. No way. This would be madness back home in my country, no doctor would let normal weight people do this diet. But me, having struggled with my weight for many years it's easy to listen to whatever people say, at least doctors.
Oh one fun story, or maybe not fun, but embarresing maybe. I went to my boyfriends hometown to go to his parents house during while I was on a diet. Beforehand I was of course nervous how I could not feel shy to use their bathrooms or whatever. During dinner with his whole family, my boyfriend started to explain my diet for them. And how I had diarrhea everyday, that I always had to go bathroom and so on. Great subject for dinner with parents-in-law you don't know well right? and of course they all talked about my toilet problem like it was the most normal thing in the universe. Its so funny because koreans are shy sometimes when it comes to body functions, like talking about female stuff like periods or what not. But talking about toilet problems its totally ok.
These days , even if I did liposuction to my stomach, I still trying to loose a little weight. But I'm doing it by myself, and I'm being healthy. I exercise, eat healthy and normally like other people do (expect those korean females my boyfriend was talking about).
I got my own pretty exercise bike. Hello Kitty bike which I bought on Gmarket. It super cute and just the design of it makes me wanna use it all the time, moreover it was not expensive at all, like 100,000 won! I also make my own food, not going out too much and I try to eat lunch at home and not on school if I don't have too.
One extra bonus photo. Only in Korea= Diet water. Yes, diet water. Low calorie water. I mean, don't people know that water contains no calorie? if not, I guess I'm not the one being bad at dieting.
Soon weekend
One day left before weekend!
Photo taken last sunday at a dessert coffee shop in Hongdae. Mint Strawberry Ade and a yummy strawberry cake. This is why I love spring. So many new drinks and desserts based on strawberry. I love strawberries! And one more day left to weekend, so I can go out and enjoy more new drinks at coffee shops. Yum.

Short hair = feminine?
Before my semester started a week ago I went back to my favorite hairdresser here in Seoul to fix my hair to look fab for my first day back at school.
I already had short hair but I decided to go even shorter. Those who know me know that I love experimenting with different hairstyles and mostly change my look many times a year. The idea of getting short hair for the first time some months ago was very sudden and something I did not plan before my visit to the hairdresser. I just went for it.
I was sitting in the hair dresser chair after bleaching my hair from brown to blonde and my stylist asked me if I also wanted to cut my hair. I wanted to say no as always, because I'm afraid of shorter hair and I wear extensions almost everyday. But for some unknown reason my mind was thinking "Hell no" but my mouth said "Yes. Sure!". No clue why I said yes, but because I did not prepare myself for a haircut I had to find one really fast. I was looking through a gossip magazine and the first photo I found that looked different and okay-ish was this photo of Ashlee Simpson having a short bob. So short bob I got.
I walked out of the saloon looking like this, (a look-alike of my brother) blonde and lot shorter hair then I had when I entered the saloon two hours before. I spent most of that day looking myself in the mirror and letting my fingers run through whatever of hair that was left on my head.
My boyfriend came home, yes I live with a Korean guy (taaaaboooo in Korea), and he got shocked I had cut so much of my hair off. He did say that he really loved my short hair. But also he called me "his little boy".
This got me thinking. Does short hair = toyboy or not feminine?. Well. I must admit that if you told me few years ago that I would go short, I would laugh and told you nooo way that will ever happen as long as I live. It seems like short hair belongs to (no offense) non-femine females that don't wanna look like a female, tomboys, lesbians, woman over 30 year old, moms of 2 children, that girls my age should have long beautiful hair. At least in the "city" I'm from I almost never see any females my age that have short hair. But after I moved here to Korea I've seen more female looking fab in shorter hair styles. That even singers or actresses have short hair also. I can't think of many celebrities back home with short styles that are not middle-aged women. Maybe being hair for two years now have changed my look on how I view fashion and what is pretty or not.
Having had short hair now since before christmas, I have getting used to not having as long as before. I have even get used to not wear my extensions everyday. I feel pretty without having to have hair down to my waist.
Thinking it through there are many posetive sided of having shorter style than long hair.
1. I still look like a female. Despite how many people have told me, or how many times I read that females should have long hair to look feminine, I think this is wrong. With my short hair I feel I have grown from a girl to more of a woman. I can look more grown up and sexy without feeling cute and innocent as I do with my longer hair.
2. Boys do like short hair also. It maybe is true that many boys do like female with longer hair more than those with short. But saying that all guys like long hair is wrong. Take my own boyfriend as an example. He compliments me when I go out with my short hair. That I look pretty and unique.
3. I can still style my hair differently. Even with my hair now, I can curl it, let it be straight, add volume and all those different styles I also did when I had long hair.
4. Styling my hair takes shoerter time than before. Take blowdrying as an example. Back when I had longer hair my blowdrying took almost an hour. Not only because of the lenght. But also because of my curly hair. Now I can fix my hair in 20 mintues and it becomes straight of blowdrying, I do not need a hair straightner after blowdrying.
5. Perfect for summer. Living here in Korea during summer with long hair is what I would call horrible. Its so humid its crazy. Long hair get sticky and always make you sweat (at least for me who is a foreigner for a colder country). Not having long hair here during summer will at least help me feel a little less warmer, and make me hopfully sweat a little less also. Remember last summer when I were walking outside, I have to hold up my hair when walking sometimes because I could feel the heat under my hair in the back and how I almost started to sweat under my hair. Not very pretty or comfortable. Itchy!
6. I can wear more makeup. This maybe sounds weird. But I feel I can pull off more extreme makeup looks without it becoming too much. If I got my long hair or extension and I decide to do more extreme makeup looks I tend too look more slutty, if thats the right word.
7. I can wear more sexy clothes. Same as with makeup. I don't look as a bimbo as before If I decide to wear something sexy for a night out.
7. I can show off my ear accessories!
8. Fixing my hair cost less. This is great! At least for someone as me who loves coloring hair. One box of my pink hair color can last me for many times. Not needing two boxes for one time as before. Money saved!
Money saved means I can experience and keep my haircolors longer than before. Since two months ago I started to color my hair pink, as already seen in my previous enteries.
This is now my current hair from my last trip to the hair dresser a week ago. It's a little shorter than seen on the photo above. I love the combination of short hair and cotton candy pink color. It's a cute combination. And moreover, I can tuck my hair behind my ear and show off all of my earrings easily. Why have 8 holes in my ear if I can't show them off?
I guess the whole conclusion of my entry this time is that I feel feminine with short hair. But I do understand that many girls decide to keep it long. For me, when I first cut if off I felt naked, like something was missing. And I also felt more chubby when my hair did not cover my face and shoulders any longer. Going from long to short is a big step, its a brave move as a female. Some might feel insecure, afraid to look like a guy, afraid guys might not like it, maybe mom or grandmother saying that females should have long hair or other issues that we short hair females hear all the time. Thankfully I got a mom that love it, and a boyfriend that prefer my short style.
If awesome,funny,charming, all loved Jennifer Lawrence can do it, so can you!
Would you go short?
Fun fact = In Korea I've heard from friends that korean females cut of their hair after a breakup with their boyfriend. Star over again with a fresh start.

Surprise Present ~
Just want to share my surprise present I got from my boyfriend today. He came home after studying and said he had something he wanted to show me. My boyfriend handed me a red backpack, first I thought he had bought it for himself and wanted to show me. But when he said it was for me I got really surprised. Giving me a new bag from school is really sweet and thoughtful. My current pink bag is too small for me to take my laptop with me, and I really need my laptop for school to takes notes. Too lazy to write everything by hand.
After jumping from happiness because of my new bag my boyfriend told me to open the bag also. Inside I could find the new 2NE1 cd. I'm not a big kpop fan (sorry!) but I love 2NE1 and I've been wanting to buy this cd. I also found a pair of pink slippers and 5 pairs of socks. I been really needing both slippers and socks. He though of everything I have been needing and wanting to buy for myself. Lastly I also got a poster of 2NE1 which have gotten it's space over my bed.
Thank you my bf! Tomorrow I will wear my new bags, cute money socks and listen to my new cd on my way to school.
And tonight I will sleep under my new poster.

Etude House Cherry Lip Gel Patch Review
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen.
The other day I went to Etude House to see if I could find any new interesting products to test out. They currently have a 50 % off on many of their products so I had to grab the chance to buy myself some new cosmetics.
The most interesting product I could find at Etude House was Cherry Lip Gel Patch, which is like a mask for your lip?. It looked hilarious so I had to buy it, even if it's something I don't really need or should spend money on. But with the 50 % off then why not just try for fun.
The same day I also had some soar lips. It's turning to spring here, so the change from warm at daytime to cold at night make my lips so soar, dry and painful. So I guess the lip patch could really come in handy afterall.
I tried it out the same day, hoping it would help my lips becoming alittle less painful. First of all. I did search the internet and I saw some korean celebrities looking cute with this lip patch on. But I think I look more than a scary clown than looking cute. It is actually kinda freaky.
But does it work?
Yes it does! I had mine on for about a half hour and when I took it off my lips felt alot softer and less soar. It still had some liquid left on it, so I re-used it the day after also and my lips felt like new again. I really like this product and I would buy it again. But even if it helps the lips I must admit it is somewhat hard to keep it on the lips. It was sliding alot the whole time, so I could not move my head or look down. Best to use when laying down, but I can't lay on my back for a half hour without feeling bored. Also it does not taste like cherry, maybe smell alittle like cherry? Don't know if cherry gel is the right name for this product. Maybe something like sweet gel etc would be better. So don't get sad all the cherry lovers out there when you find out it does not taste like cherry. I'm one of those cherry lovers. But all in all, it did make my lips more kissable. So I guess both me and my boyfriend are happy with this product.
This was everything I bought at Etude House. I have so many BB Creams, eyeshadows etc so I only bought a few things on sale. Two nail polish. One mascara base to make longer eyelashes (think it's some kinda fiber), yellow lipstick, top coat and some drops to make nail polish dry faster. I will make review on some of these laster.
But one of the best things about shopping cosmetics from korean stores are free stuff! It's one of the things I miss whenever I go back home. When you buy comestics from Etude House, even on sale they give you free things depending on the total amount you spend. This time I spent aroud 10,000 won and I got free cotton pads, facial mask and a kit full of samples of their moistfull collagen series.
If I had more money I would go back to Etude House everyday to shop more!

Lipo update
I'm back again to give a little update about my recovery. Its been some few days now since my surgery. I remember last time I told you my stomach was very flat but I lied. The day after I wrote my last update I woke up and my stomach was as big as before. It so swollen but not as blue as right after the surgery. The pain have been ok, I mean.. I expected alot of pain, it have been painful yes, but it could be worse. Its hard to move around or sit like a normal person, still hard to go to the bathroom, and I did get more painkillers because it's been hurting. But compared to other stomach pain I've had in the past I would not say its worse. Its more annoying kinda pain because it's lasting for so long time so it's hard to just relax, moreover get a good night sleep.
This was my stomach the day after surgery, swollen but not at the worst. Day after this it was almost double as big. Right now it's a little better, but still big but not as painful anylonger.
I've been back to the clinic 3 times now. 2 times to clean my stitches and to get antibiotics and one time for getting my new body suit, hold-in d'lux, today actually. I have to wear the body suit for around one month, hopefully it will not be so bothering, at least it's so much hold-in I look very slim! I hope it will look as good when I take it off in one month.
But I got one fear, not that I get so slim stomach, what about my big hips and butt? Will I look like Kim Kardashian in some months time?
Other than that I must take some medication,5 pills, twice a day, after eating breakfast and dinner. I cannot eat sweet,spicy or fatty food for one month, and no chicken or pork (anyone know why no chicken or pork??). Which is kinda hard because I don't have that much money after spending all this money on plastic surgery, so buying beef or fish is too expensive for me. I guess I will be a veggie for some weeks. And I cannot shower before removing the stitches. So I'm trying my best to wash my hair in the sink, but I look like a old grandmother when I have problems bending over.
But the good part is if I sit all still without moving it does not hurt, so before my appointment today I did manage to fix my hair and makeup. Walking around in different pink sweatpants everyday make me feel lazy and not attractive.
So I will end this update with todays look for my appointment.
Going to a clinic where all the rich people go, and all staff look so pretty (and plastic) I feel I have to dress up also, kinda...
Oh, one more thing.. They said I should lipo my chin because its fat, I said no loool
Good night!

Plastic Surgery Part 2
Guess what? I finally did my surgery. Very happy, but alot more poor. I did my surgery yesterday. So will write about it now before I forget what happend on the day of my surgery.
Surgery day
I met up in the lobby a half hour before my surgery. I arrived around 9 in the morning. I felt excited and nervous at same time. Finally, the moment I've been waiting for for many years have come. I waited around five minutes and then the english speaking female that help patients took me to her office to sign 5 papers. The papers mostly had written the risks of surgery and so on, so I had to sign that I understood and agreed to do the surgery. She also gave me a small bag with instructions what to eat etc for the next upcomming weeks while recovering.
She followed me to another room where I was told to put on my clothes for surgery, and only have my panties on underneath. I thought it matched my hair so I had to take a photo.
After we went to another floor where I was told to wait in one of the recovery rooms while my doctors was getting ready for my surgery. I started to become very nervous. I had to ask the lady right before my surgery if I could use the bathroom, most nervous bledder ever. After doing my thing in the bathroom I went to the surgery room. Before surgery they wanted to take before photoes of my my stomach and my back for their partient record, which felt very weird with many people in the room and only in my panties. After taking the photoes I was told to lay down on the table/bed thingy where they put a needle in my arm. The table/bed was kinda formed like a cross, where I had to lay staight with my arms out to both side while they stapped my arms so I could not move. There were 4 ladies in the room and 1 man. The ladies started massaging my and play with my hair to make me feel more calm. They one of the ladies said I soon would become very sleepy. It felt like drinking 100 bottles of soju before I passed out.
Waking up
I woke up after 3 hours surgery by one of the ladies told me to wake up and asking if I were ok. I dont remember what I said because I were so drugged with medicines. I was just half sleeping and very dizzy. I wanted to look down under my shirt to see my stomach, but I could not lift my hands for some hours. When I finally started to feel more awake I looked under my shirt, but I could only see compression garnment around my waist. I kinda wonder how they where able to lift me around during surgery. Hmm.
I laid in bed for maybe three hours like a zombie before a nurse came and asked me if I wanted something to drink. Thank god, I were so thirsty after not being allowed to eat or drink anything 10 hours before surgery. My mouth were soo dry and my throat was hurting alot. Water felt like heaven. I also got some corn soup, but I didnt really feel hungry, maybe the painkillers worked too well.
I did not feel too much pain right after surgery or the first day. I guess the general anesthesia made me feel very little. I could go home the first day because I felt okay and I were not too much in pain.
First day
I thought fixing my stomach and back would not give me any pain at all because I could not feel anything after surgery. But now, today, its really painful. Its hard to walk, lay down and sit. It feels like something is tearing everytime I move. So I'm sitting very still while I'm writing this.
I were told today to come back to the clinic to get some antibiotic shot for not getting infections and make my stomach less swollen. Taking public transportation was not easy when walking like a old woman or a penguin. It was really painful and it took me longer time than usual.
At the clinic again I got my antibiotic shot and also they removed some bandage under my compression garnment so they could clean my stitches. I could see my stomach for the first time! And its sooo much flatter than before! I actually have a almost all flat belly. Its so swollen, so after some weeks it will be even more flat. And after 3 months if will be final results. Oh gosh I wanna go to the beach!
This is my stomach today without my compression garnment. Its very swollen and it's blue everywhere. Its more blue in real life than on this photo. The worst is top of my stomach and on the side under my armpits. But I cannot wear a bra because it hurts so I cant take photo of it right now. But out of all places, my butt hurts the most! Really! To remove fat from lower back the hugh needle goes through your buttcrack (sorry for writing so directly) to the lower part of your back. Not only does my butt hurt. My vayjay (my holy woman part) hurts also, its all blue and painfull after removing fat from lower stomach. So going to toilet is not fun at all, it hurts to sit down.
Thankfully I got more painkillers from the clinic today. And I will go back on sunday to get another shot, and after 5 days I will go back to remove the stiches (they I can finally shower yeey!).
I will update later when I can see how my stomach is after its less swollen.
Peace out!
