The previous title

In my previous post I was going to write about getting fat, then I forgot so that title made no sense to that post lol so here it is, short and sweet.
I can't work out for a month....
I used to work out 5-6 days a week...
I sat on my butt for a week watching tv while healing...
And I ate like crap, no excuse for that except i wanted to lol
I just don't feel my best and can't wait to get back in the gym. I'm also curious as to how running will be post op with boobs? Is it majorly uncomfortable? Hopefully not.
Ok maybe this post wasn't so short, or so sweet. I'm tired, it's 4am and I'm getting off this page now, talk about addicting .

Getting fat

Yesterday marked two weeks post op. Took off my steristrips things on my incisions, so far so good, looks pretty sealed and the incision is thin. Im just curious that when it fully heals and scar starts to fade more, is the incision going to be noticeable to the touch ? Or is it going to feel flat and soft? Just a thought.
Also I'm back to work completely now. In the beginning (before my BA) I only told a selective few of the girls what I was going to do, but at work everyone talks so eventually people were asking me and I didn't want to lie, and I felt like they were going to notice and also wonder where I'm at, so then I just owned it and told basically everyone. At first I got a lot of supportive comments, two other girls even had there's done too! The day before my surgery one coworker even gave me a huge gift bag filled with post op goodies, like magazines, bendy straws, Tylenol, snacks, it was really thoughtful. That was the positive side of it, now I'm back at work, still lots of people happy for me, but today hearing that some of the girls were bashing me for it while I was gone, mentioning things about being fake now. I'm a tough girl, I'm happy with my decisions, but definitely more of a annoying thing to deal with. My recommendation to other girls is, If you don't want your coworkers to know, they really don't have to. honestly they won't notice if you get your boobs done, you can't even really tell in my work shirt and unless you're going Pamela Anderson big I don't think your coworkers would notice either. And if your gone for two weeks, you don't really owe an explanation to anyone besides your boss, tell others you just needed time off. It's all up to you but don't feel like you need to tell everyone and that's how I kinda felt, obligated because they were going to find out anyways and that's not true at all. If you want peace and privacy, don't tell people that don't need to know, like coworkers. On the other hand if you can handle a little negativity, tell people, not everyone is going to agree and support you and that's ok. In my experience I also gained from it, I got a goodie bag! And was able to relate to the two other girls who confided in me that they also got BAs(I had no idea before), so for that I'm happy. ok I'm ending this long post now. Just my two cents on the BA struggles lol

Having issues uploading photos

For some reason it's not letting me, keeps saying error messgage. Dang it, I tried.
Anywho, today was my first day back at work. I read before hand about how other girls talked about getting tired faster and being in pain at work, but I went into work thinking "pshh I'm fine, I feel great" and no that was not the case a hour into my shift, I felt exhausted! My arms didn't want to move anymore. Learning that just because I feel good doesn't mean I should push myself, need to learn to take it easy the first month and ask for help instead of trying to do everything on my own.
