Day 7 after BA I can't believe that 1 week...

Day 7 after BA

I can't believe that 1 week ago today at this time I was in surgery having my BA! How time flies when you're unlove :) Haha. Well, its my day off and I should be sleeping in but my tush hurts. Going to try to warm up a pillow or something and see if i can't try to rest for another hour or so. Will update later. Going to a BBQ tonight.

Day 6 after surgery So I went into see my Doc...

Day 6 after surgery

So I went into see my Doc today for my 1st post op and everything went great!! My stitches will dissolve away on it's own within the next 2-4weeks and he showed me how to start massaging them. I'm so excited to start that to soften these babies up!! ( I posted a pic of how much I can squeeze without it being too much pain) I saw a pic of someone during my research and it helped a lot so I wanted to do the same.

He showed me 3 different ways of massaging and said that I should not worry too much about buying any nice expensive bras for now as the will probably drop about 20% in size once they settle in :( I love them the way they are NOW!!! LOL....but so serious! Either way- I am grateful for them. SO I went to Walmart asI saw on someones review about the genie bra and OMGeeeeee.....Love love love this bra!! It is so comfy and you get 2 of them for $19.88 its the as seen on TV bra. This is by far my best buy! (Also have a pic with this bra on in the nude color) He also recommends I buy scarguard which is what most PS uses- works wonders for scars but I didn't worry about buying that yet until my stitches fall off. I think I am going to order that online for 1/2 the price as it is being sold at the PS office. I know I have lots of pics- but they were a lot of help for me when I was doing my research!! I've never looked at so many boobies in all of my life until now. LOL!!! but so true!

Well- that is it for now! Can't believe tomorrow will be a week since my BA- how time flies!!! Good luck to everyone!

4 Days after surgery Wow!! I can't believe...

4 Days after surgery

Wow!! I can't believe I'm already going back to work tomorrow. Booooo.....for that! But-Im feeling almost 100% better so no complaining there. A huge thanks to my hubby! He has been by my side everyday since my BA last Friday. Amazing man!

I have been eating normal making sure to get my fruits and veggies in and of course my pasta!! I've been icing, icing, icing, no more swelling!! Hooray!!! Still a little bruising under the boobies (which I discovered was from the bra I came home in) so last night and all day today I went bra-less. I just got out of the shower and I am just wearing a nice tube top with some VS boxers. Feeling good I must say. Carefree. I have completed my nausea meds only a few antibiotics to go and tons of pain meds because thank God!!!.....I haven't needed them. All day today I have only taken 1 dose of XS tylenol and honestly- I really didn't even need it. I know this is TMI- but I'm happy to report that I have been pretty fortunate and been able to have a stool everyday since my BA. My TIP for that is....prunes and pears!!!

Now, I just can't wait for these new babies to soften up for me. One other thing- I NEVER reread what I post so if it's too much or doesn't make sense, SOrry. Good luck to all the ladies with upcoming BA and also a speedy recovery to the ones with recent BA.

Just added a few more pics.
