1 month update with pictures from week 2 and 3

Hello, so I took pictures of my boobs every week but did not post any update...
Everything is doing well. Week 2 was still hurting when coughing and sneezing. That pain was gone on week 3. My nipples are still very sensitive. As instructed by my surgeon, I am applying Vitamin E oil on my breast. I bought a random brand at Trader Joe's. I apply on my breast and scar morning and evening. I have not bought the scar cream yet.
I have been massaging since day 8 post op. I am wearing soft cup bras everyday.
I feel like one breast is still higher than the other. I can tell by looking at the top of the breast.
I will always have one breast bigger than the other. This is the way I looked before so no big deal.
I am happy with the size. I decided at the last minute to go 1 size up after reading so many women wishing they would have gone bigger. I think they are perfect for me and I would not go bigger.
I did go one time to the trade mill last week at speed 3.9, inclination 5 for 35 minutes. After that my boobs started to feel sore. I can't do a lot. Last time I started to run because it's started to rain but had to stop right away. I felt immediately a pain so I just walked. I will have to be patient and take care of my curves when i am ready.
Nights are a big challenge though. I don't feel my breast anymore during the day but at night, for some reason, I still feel something and that wake me up several times each night. I feel like my breasts are hard so I need to sit and wait a minute before they become softer. And again all night long. I still sleep on my back (i am a stomach sleeper). I can't sleep on my side, it's still uncomfortable.
I am just wondering if this is the same scenario for you guys and when you were able to sleep through the night. Young boobs are as annoying as small babies at night lol

Other than that, life is good. I remember reading some comments about being in love with their boobs. Well, that happened to me too :)

1 week post op

Had my 1 week check up yesterday. Everything is going smoothly so far. I am supposed to keep the strap at night this week but I can't it kills my back.
They showed me how to massage the boobs. It's not a very good feeling but it should get better with the time.
I went back to work on Wednesday, so 6 days post op. I felt tired and dizzy around noon. But now it's back to normal.
I am still sleeping on my back and those past 3 nights, I woke up 3-4 times because my boobs were so sore. So I just sit for a minute and then go back to sleep until it starts again.
Yesterday after massaging, I slept really better!

My boobs still feel hard and tight but now I feel comfortable touching them. I don't even look at my scare, it freaks me out, even touching it. I leave this to my husband. Apparently they look good. No bruises...

My nipples are kind of sensitive so I always were a bra except this evening. After my shower I decided to go without. That feels good!

Day 3 and feeling good.

I had again a good night sleep. Sleeping upward was not as difficult as I thought. Percocet maybe helped again. Yesterday was my last day. I am just taking Ibuprofen now as well as my antibiotics to prevent infections.

Went for a short walk yesterday (3 blocks) and boobs were sore when I came back so took it easy and rested.
I also cooked dinner yesterday but let my family clean up the kitchen.

Boobs are still hard and tight. It hurts a little bit on the side but no big deal. I don't see much difference on the picture between yesterday and today though.

I went to the bathroom yesterday. No problem. I am drinking smooth move tea, maybe that helps.

I took a shower today, that felt so good! I can tell that my nipples are numb because even when I am cold, they stay the same.

I am being patient and I know it can take up to 6 months-1 year to see the final results. But so far, I am very happy!
