Feeling so much better
I haven't updated in a few days but it's PO day 11 and I jumped on the elliptical for a workout! Omg it felt so good to get the endorphins going. It was like instant antidepressant after. I usually go at a resistance of 14 out of 20 but only did 11 today for 30min to ease back in. I got the all clear from PS earlier this week. Of course he told me "if it hurts don't do it" stuff.
I was able to plank but no side planking. I was able to do pretty much everything but lie on floor doing ab work with arms raised over head. I could do ab work but if incorporating arms raised and ab work it felt strange on incision site.
I have noticed they are getting a bit softer. I do my massages in the shower but it is still weird to devote a few minutes to squeezing my boobs. They must be dropping but probably super slow. It's hard for me to tell in pictures.
I wear my surg bra or bralette most of the time. I might have it off for an hour but that is a funny feeling like they are too heavy. I asked hubby if he thought they were too big and he laughed as if to say he wouldn't complain. I am starting to worry that when they are done dropping and fluffing that I may be way bigger than I thought. I went with the 339cc round smooth silicone unders in each.
I also had some sexy time this past week. That was good but hubby was terrified to touch them,lol. All is good and still taking it slow but I have more energy and able to do most things I want. Although I couldn't go to the gun range this morning because I can't draw back the slide on my gun:( oh well, new boobie problems!

Frustrated
It's post op day 6 and I'm not really struggling with pain as much as just fatigue. I know I had surgery but really feel relatively good in the morning. Then after doing a few things I'm so tired and almost winded as if I'm completely deconditioned. I was very active prior to surgery so this is strange. The anesthesia should be gone from my system but sometimes I just feel off, maybe just tired. It's frustrating because I feel like I should be able to do stuff but just not up to it by the end of the day.
I find that I have been emotional as well as anxious. That probably has to do with the medicines last week and not having any cardio to relieve stress. My chest still feels tight like something is sitting on it. It's great having boobs but so weird at the same time like they are foreign.
I hate complaining but just wondering if you ladies have encountered these feelings in the early post op days. I have my one week appointment tomorrow and hopefully get reassurance from my surgeon.

Post op day 3
I woke up this morning feeling alright. I even decided to drive my daughter to school. I came home and iced my chest because it felt so tight. I can't lie, I am just worn out! I would have thought I could manage doing more at this point but I am forced to take it easy. I took Tylenol this morning but had to take a norco around 1pm. It's gonna be a slow weekend for me. I'm trying not to get frustrated but I'm just so darn bored!
The swelling is worse in my left breast. I haven't had any problems with bruising. I am already finding myself looking forward to the dropping and fluffing as they are a little high. Over all I can't complain!
