Looking Forward to Running with No Bounce - Baltimore, MD

I am 37 and a mother of 2 little boys. I have always had boobs but they were not overly large, until after the births of my sons! I now wear a 36FF and am hoping for a C cup. My surgeon is great and got me approved from my insurance after they denied me initially. My surgery is less than 2 weeks away on January 17. I am scared and excited at the same time.

I am very athletic and have always played sports and run. This last year I ran 4 half marathons and did 2 triathlons. I am signed up for a bunch more races this year. I am uncomfortable wearing tank tops and tend to overdress while exercising to hide the girls. I am ready for the tank tops and no "boob" pain running! I also do a lot of pool training and hate going out in my swim suit. In the sport of running/triathlons you see all kinds of bodies, skinny, lean, big, but the one thing you rarely see are larger chested women. I will be so happy to rid myself of this classification!

The countdown is on! I will post photos later!

Tuesday I will be a week from surgery! I am starting to get more excited at this point rather then scared. I'm sure that will change as the day gets closer. I have not been running since I know I do not have to run with these huge boobs anymore. So I am waiting until I am recovered to start my training back up. I also have had symptoms if IBS so I have completely changed my diet. It seems to have worked and I am feeling much better all around. My mom is flying in from CA next Sunday to help e and to take care of my boys for me. I plan on locking the door at night so I don't get a surprise jump on the chest from one of them. Ouch. My surgeon said I don;t need to buy anything ahead of time but I probably will pick up a few things I have read about on this site. The pillow to put over my chest for car rides to ease the seatbelt pain is a great idea. Other then that I just feel like I am waiting and I can't wait to get this going and start recovering with my new, small and perky boobs!

I forgot to add that my insurance includes an overnight stay in the hospital that I think I am going to use! I know I am going to be miserable for the first day/week so I might as well be in a bed that props me up and have them bring me all of my meds on time, etc!
