5 weeks post op
Hi ladies!
I can't believe it's already been 5 weeks!!
Things are going well, slowly healing. Tenderness is still there, but gets better every day. My range of motion is a lot better too, I'm waiting for the day when I'm completely well. The left side is still hurting more, and the muscle soreness is still there. When I flex it does a really weird thing. I took some pictures so you can see. I'll have another check up in 2 weeks, I'm going to address it with my doc.
Hope all is well with you all!!

3 weeks post op
Hi sweet ladies,
I've been very busy getting better and getting kids ready for the new school year :)
I had my 3 week checkup today and my doctor was pretty positive about how I'm healing. The scar tissue around the nips are getting looser and I look a little better. He said I can resume my workout which is incredible news, I missed pilates so much!! And I can swim again in the ocean. Yay! I can start wearing different bras finally and don't have to wear one at night. I can't sleep on my belly yet, nor crazy workouts such as running, but I'm happy to get a little normal again. I do have muscle pain still and stiffness in the left breast, also my boobies are extremely sensitive, but I hope it will continue to heal.
Hope this helps and big hug to you all!

4 days post op
I'm 4 days post op and yesterday looked more closely at my breasts. I had an en-bloc removal but to avoid having drains they wrapped me around very tightly. It really worked and I healed up very nicely already, but as I looked at my boobs I all of a sudden remembered all those reasons why I got the boobs 12 years ago. It was surreal. I prayed that I will have acceptance over my body no matter how it turns out before the surgery, but I wasn't prepared to feel so critical. I wish I knew that a variety of feelings may come before acceptance. My nipples are still curling downwards and obviously I'm not liking that too much. I did hear that there's a way to help that with massaging, but I'm not sure how long after surgery you can start that and how. My appt with my doc wil be Wednesday, hopefully he'll have some insight as to what can be done.
