Post Op Appointment

Today was my two week post op. They took my tape off and everything is looking good. I have a small opening on my right breast where all incisions meet. It's ok and I just have to put ointment on it. I can sleep on my side a little bit but I'm still having trouble sleeping. I can actually go to the bathroom now without laxatives so I just need to get the sleep in order and I'll be good. I can switch to sports bras which I'm excited about because I go back to work Friday and you can see the support bra because it comes up so high. But I'm pleased to know I'm looking good.

Thanks for sharing your story! I am prepping for my surgery in a month...What's something you are happy you did afterwards? What is something you regret doing/ not doing post surgery?

I am two and a half weeks post op now. I am happy that I get to throw out my massive bras. They fit on my husbands head like a cap. I am also really looking forward to purchasing new bras with the Victoria a Secret gift card my coworkers bought me. I can not tell you the last time I could buy a bra there. I don't really regret anything. I feel so much better and people tell me I look great. I look so much thinner and my husband told me I look normal and that I look really nice in my clothes now. I don't have cracking in my shoulders when I do shoulder rolls. It's a little uncomfortable for a while but worth it. I guess I regret not taking any sleeping pills. The Percocet kept me wide awake and miserable. It also made me very constipated and I got sick from being backed up which nobody mentioned. So be prepared before hand with a stool softener and laxatives.

Glad to hear you are doing well. I have had surgery before so I knew to have the stool softeners handy. That is awesome that your co-workers bought you a gift card from VS. I haven't been shopping there yet. Just this past week my bras are fitting differently so I better wait a little longer. Hope your recovery continues to go well.

Do thingsd naturally. A diet including prune juice, fruit and veg would have made laxatives uneccessary, as would getting off painkillers, and any opening will heal best through drying out in the air rather than being made soggy with creams.

I woke up last night very sick to my stomach. This morning I was in a lot of pain because I had rolled to my side during the night. I'm going to try dulce lax because the medication has me stopped up and not feeling well. My breasts are not nearly as hard and the bruising is looking so much better. I think they are going to end up looking awesome!

Sore nipples

KstuterMarch 29, 2014
My nipples are so sore and tender. I'm wondering if that's normal. I assume it is seeing as they were trimmed and moved. I woke up in pain because my cat decided she wanted to step on my chest. I am wondering if I can ice my nipples.
