Hey gals! Been keeping busy with the family. I'm officially back on mommy duty and that consumes 80% of my day, wish I could post more often.
I hate to brag but everything is wonderful and I feel fully recovered, although I'm sure I still need to take it easy. I haven't began any type of exercise... aside from the repetitive motion of reaching in my purse for my wallet. I have a new body to cloth and I can now wear the things I want to, no just things that fit! I feel like a guy who got a new car and now is adding accessories... wait.... I could have bought a new car.... NAH, this was a much better buy.
I hope everyone has a splendid Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for having an amazing husband, fantastic family, for my health, for everyone on RealSelf, and Dr. Mowlavi.
Everyday is a gift.

Thank you doll! No.... you look amazing! Several people (including the hubby) say I look like I've worked out my entire existence, they even ask what type of diet and exercise regimen I follow... I can't help but go along with them- lol! I need a fashion coach to help me! Hope you're well. XoXo

Your transformation is truly amazing. I am so very happy for you and thankful that you are sharing your journey with all of us. Every time I read an update and see the new pictures I can not believe how great you are looking and how fast you are healing. Do you have a top 3 -5 things that you think helped with your recovery and healing? Thanks,Kim

Hi Kim. Top things that help me heal- 1- plenty of rest 2- none to very little movement for at least 3 weeks, sedentary lifestyle- zip zero nada. 3- Diet- Pre op, I followed an alkaline diet for 6 months prior to surgery. My meals consisted of mainly fruits and veggies. Post op- I tried to follow my doctors orders of a high protein diet for the first 3 weeks, then I went back to my alkaline diet. This is when my swelling really started to subside. 4- I swear by neosporin,

Sorry, accidentally hit reply. Thank you for the compliment. If there is anything I can help you with please feel free to ask

Thanks for the list. I do pretty good with the diet now but could do better so will get on that. The protein is a hard one for me but I have heard from so many how important it is. I will embrace the rest. I will have 2 full weeks off and then back to work. But I work from my home office on the computer and phone. Not much more physically demanding than blogging and I can take rest breaks as needed through out the day. My mom always used neosporin and swore by it. Might have to listen to my mom and you. :)

I bet you don't miss that arm skin! Look at those beautiful thin arms. My arms are the most painful in my recovery and there is nothing wrong with them. Just hurts like heck! Your scars look better than mine and I had Zoro leave his mark in my arm pits. I still have not posted pics ... didn't like the ones my husband took so we will try again.

Thank you fullcirclemer! You should post pics, I'd love to see your progress, my arms were hidden under a compression garment for so long, I didn't see a whole lot of them until just this last week.
November 4, 2014
I'm amazed, your arms look great :) I have just a couple a questions if you have a minute, Did you get irritated on the incision under the arm pit, mine are a bit red and annoyed? And how long does this dreaded swelling last?? I start thinking, oh they aren't too bad today, then Shazam it's back lol
November 4, 2014
Oh, one more, did your forearms get sore, mine are really tender , weird they hurt more if someone touches them, than up the top

Hi sarbear1! I don't have an incision under the arm pit, mine ends right where the arm pit begins. I wore an upper body compression garment, so my incisions were always covered and compressed until approximately day 25. That's when I took my first shower. I haven't experienced any swelling there since I stopped wearing the garment. Your transformation is awesome! Happy healing!

Side Boob shot

I just realized I look pretty flat in the last picture I posted. I have to admit they're not huge but the right size for me. Here is what the boobs look like from the side. Scar goes all the way back, part of my back lift, and is well hidden with a bra.

I also went smaller than a lot of people who get breast aug. I went from a small "38B" to a full "38C".....love , love, love the size. They won't sag as fast when they are smaller...gravity still plays that part after surgery as we all know and mine are nice and perky! Waiting for them to drop but it has not happened yet...hope they do not drop tooooo much. I like the way my breasts look now. The swelling has gone down in my breasts. Your scar looks great! Your arms look better than mine! So far I am not liking the way my arms look scar wise and lumpy puckered skin. Might need a revision but I am only three weeks out so I have to give it time. Your husband has got to think you are so hot hot hot!
