WORTH IT$4,199
It's been a crazy week here in Boston, but we are all relieved that the second suspect was captured and taken in alive! We are all hoping to get some answers soon!
Amidst all the chaos here, I was officially given the "OK" by Dr. Salama to take my steri strips off. Let me tell you, I was hesitant at first because I didn't know what to expect but I finally did it early this morning. My breasts are still pretty firm, but they appear to change everyday (in a good way). I am massaging everyday and wear my strap before bed. I went to Gap Body to pick up a wireless full support bra, and was measured at 36 D. Wow! That's great -- I hope it stays that way, but to my understanding they are going to shrink more. Boooo oh well! I'm pleased so far. Still a long road on the recovery process but I am facing it with optimism. Dr. Salama has been great! Considering that I am an out of town patient, I have not been able to follow up with him in person. We've maintained contact via phone/ pictures and text, and it's reassuring that I can contact him whenever I feel the need to. I am planning to take a trip to see him again in June. I've posted new images. I'll update again soon.

I'm a little over a week today, and have noticed that the top of my breast feels much softer than the rest. I'm still wearing the surgical bra, and strap everyday, and massaging 3x's daily. Sadly, when I look down at them, they still look flat.. Almost the same way they did when I was a tiny A cup, and no cleavage as of yet. I've gained so much weight after My surgery, and My bf went away for job training for the next two weeks. I'm feeling kind of down and blah about the whole thing, and suffering from a serious case of boob greed. :-/ I hope this feeling fades with these flat hard boobs soon.

Aw Marie It will be ok! I feel that boob greed everyday and it made it worse when my hubby said wow they don't look very big the first time, I know he didn't realize what he said but I completely understand what you are going through. I'm a month out and am trying really hard just to accept my body, I know exercise will help so trying to make myself get back into my old routine. Hang in there! Hugs :)

Thanks, Jenni! I saw your profile and think your girls perfectly accentuate your frame! How do your breast feel now -- Are they still hard? Have you started working out yet? I wonder if 1 week post-op is too early to start my ab regime again. I miss running, and wonder if I can cheat by getting on a bike..

And I think yours are perfect for you! I think sometimes we women are a little too tough on ourselves and think we need to look like someone else?? I don't know but I have to remind myself daily that what I have now is soooo much better than before! I have been walking my dog and playing golf (which felt really weird at first!) but haven't started running yet, although my ps said I could a couple wks ago. I know I'll feel normal again once I do! And definitely every week gets easier, it's such an emotional process I wasn't ready for that part! You look beautiful :)

Thank you! They seem to be changing daily. They're pretty large right now and I hope they stay that way! Haha. If not, I may consider going larger within the year.

Okay ladies, so today is day 3 and I am feeling much better! I take my oxycodone every 5 hours, my antibiotic 3 X's per day, and keflex to help me go poop. (I am honestly not sure if the keflex has been Effective) i had difficulty doing a #2 for the last couple of days, but after eating a handful of prunes, the problem was solved.
I went for my first post op visit yesterday and was told that they look like they are healing fine. My PS then gave me a band that is supposed to help my breast drop into place. They are so high up right now, and don't look like they've stretched at all. I've posted pictures. Will this change soon?
