28 Yr Old Mommy of 2.. In Research Mode - Norfolk, VA

I had my last massage appt yesterday and i have to say it was great. Instant pain relief. For the most part things have been going really good. Im still in some mild pain but stretching and tylonol seems to help. The biggest thing is that both of the twins are super sensitive to the point that even clothing kinda hurts. Im still icing every so often to reduce some of the swelling thats still there, but they are getting softer and more squishy/ movable everyday.
I have not been able to sleep on my stomach yet, my body keeps trying to roll over during the night but i end up getting a really sharp pain in my boob when i do. This may sound weird or hilarious but i got curious as to roughly how much they weigh so i asked to be weighed yesterday to see if there was a difference. I went for 105 before surgery to now about 110. Which if im correct then the twins weigh roughly 2.5 lbs each. Silly i know but curiosity got to me.
I still end up being very tired towards the end of the day so coffee is my friend during the week. Most of my tshirts and some of my tank tops still fit surprisingly but im awaiting summer to try on the rest of them to see how much of a wardrobe change ill have to make. I am also waiting for about may which will be my 12 week marker for when my PS says i can get underwire bras (not that i need them now) and a bikini for beach time. The way he did the surgery he said its gonna take 12 weeks for them to finally settle and not look weird. So im on the count down for that.
My stitches are still bumpy feeling and a lil sensitive but my PS says that will smooth out as they heal and drop.
All in all im loving the new me and cant wait for them to finally heal!!!
Happy healing ladies
Your all wonderful

hello ladies! I am now 13 days since my surgery and i feel as though the more the days go by the better i feel. the twins are still sitting high and the bottoms of them ache more than the top now. Im doing alot of stretching and recently had a massage appt that my PS office offers. Apparently its the same thing used in sports medicine for muscles, and i have to say after that appt it was like instant pain relief. I go back for another on march 1 st which will be great. So far besides the pain ive noticed that my right one seems to be the more behaved. It also seems to be dropping faster and softening more than the left. On the flip side my left one is completely acting up. the skin on the top is very sensitive and has a burning sensation as well as it seems more stiff. I am not sleeping at an incline anymore and i havent woken up in the middle of the night for pain meds in about a good couple of nights so im happy about that. During the day i am taking tylonol but that only seems to take just the edge off the pain. So by the time i get home in the afternoons im over being in pain and end up taking a vicodin to help. I have been using a heating pad for my back since that gets stiff and sore during the day as well. I am loving the new me though and according to my PS it is going to take about 12 weeks before they are in their final spot and healed. Which will put me at middle/end of may, just in time for bikini weather! On a side note (I just thought of this) I have random pains in the twins every once in a while which apparently is normal, and even though im sleeping through the night i still end up feeling very tired during the day which is odd to me but i do my best on the weekends to catch up on sleep.
Other than that ladies I hope you all are doing wonderfully.
Update again soon

I had my 1 wk post op yesterday and everything was wonderful. The took out the stitches which felt weird and my PS said everything looked great. Next Tuesday I have an appt with them for ultrasound massage...I thought that was pretty cool. As far as the twins they are still sitting high and swelling some but not too bad. I'm still icing for the swelling since I can't take ibuprofen due to other meds I'm on. I've also been using a heating pad for my back since it gets so stiff which helps alot. Pain wise is not too bad, just feels really sore like I pulled some muscles, so I manage that with tylonol during the day and vicodin at night. My appetite has come back some and I'm doing my best to eat health complete meals instead of junk and snacks.
Things that are still a work in progress is mainly sleeping through the night. I wake up sometimes with some pain and discomfort, not a whole lot. But I found it helps if I sleep in my sports bra elevated with pillows.
Walking long distances right now is a pain and wears me out quickly. But other than all that everything seems to get better everyday.
Happy healing ladies I'll post more later!
