Been awhile
Here I am 7-8? Months post-op. I am about 6 pounds under what I was the day of surgery but still dealing with major body issues in my head. In the mirror I see how different I look but without the assistance of a mirror I FEEL the very same as when I was 290. I'm not too sure how to get over this and always worried that will be my demise. Still don't love the boobies, I know they are not disportionate to my body but I feel the they make me look heavier unless I am wearing a tight shirt (which I never do). Don't get me wrong though, I am 100 percent I had the surgery and would do it again in a heartbeat!
Almost two months post
So really has gone quickly. I really only had less than a week of hard recovery and the rest is a blur. I am in love with my tummy but the boobs I am still getting used to. I feel like they are huge but taking the pictures for this update they don't actually look big in the photos. I didn't want a breast lift and opted only for a BA as my husband didn't like the idea of the scar lines but I don't like how the low nipple still makes them look droopy. Oh well not really too concerned one way or another. I still have the flat spot and slight discoloration that you can see in one of the photos. My doctor said it will still pop out but I am not convinced as it has been six weeks now. I Am still struggling with body issues and still see my body as the same 300 pound person I was. Logically I know that I am not and when I look at myself I see that i not. I trained myself for years not to look in mirrors so I still have this image of myself in my head... I was cleaning the closet and found an old pair of pants that I kept as a reminder and holding them up looks like a fake diet commercial :) I'll have to take a photo and post.
Question
So a couple if days ago I wore a tank that was very tight across my chest but not worried because it was under my shirt. That night I had flat spots on my boobs especially the left. Tonight I noticed that the left one still has flat spot and the flat area is slightly discolored. Should I be concerned?
