Ok...so today is exactly 3 weeks since my MM. All in all I feel good except for my left boob has started hurting for some strange reason. My right boob has not dropped yet and my left boob hurts. I think I am gonna call my PS today and see if this is normal because it wasn't hurting before. Last week was my first week by myself since my surgery because my hubby went back to work. On Monday I did wayyyy too much and pretty much paid for it the rest of the week. I took my kids to the pool, and almost passed out in the heat because of my spanx and binder. And then I had to take all 3 of my wonderful children down to my college because I had some last minute papers that needed to be turned in. After walking all over the campus I was pooped! I also walked a total of 23 miles last week. I walked 4 miles for 5 days and 3 miles one day. I just dont want to gain any weight because I love to eat and thats not gonna change any time soon! I will be starting my scar therapy soon as soon as this one little scab falls off of my incision. I was told I could start doing more than just walking this week like the elliptical so I might go to the gym and do that...getting a little bored with just walking. My boob has really been aching enough that I need to take something for it at times...Any of you ladies have that problem this far out??

I would def call your PS. Mine told me to call about anything. Better to be safe then sorry. I have not had my surgery so we will see if he meant it after surgery! Hope everything works out. Keep us updated!

Please , please, please listen to your body. You may be doing too much, I am five weeks today I just started walking and I only did two mile. lile you I do not want to gain weight but you have to think that you just had major surgery. You had this surgery because you couldn't get the changes you wanted through excercise. I am not saying don't do anything but let your body be your guide.

So today is day 13 everything is still going good...feeling good, moving good, and just over all good! But, my boobs look soo uneven :( I am hoping with time they will start to look better. Yesterday was my first day by myself, with my 3 small children, while my hubby went back to work. It was not bad at all. We did a little shopping, took them to lunch, took a little nap, and went to a birthday party! I was a bit tired by the end of the day but thats to be expected. My back was actually hurting during the night so I had to have my hubby get me the heating pad. I am soooo tired of sleeping in this stupid recliner I cannot wait to get back into my bed. I just feel like I cannot get comfy at all anymore.

Ur not alone in feeling uncomfortable. I would say back sleeping is thee worst part of the recovery process! It doesnt get any easier, at least not for me at day 23. Still back sleeping propped up. However the good news is that the worst part is over (the first 2 weeks) and on the bright side of the good news hopefully u heal better than me and will be feeling better at 23 days post op than me :)

How has your swelling been coming along? Any change in the uneven breasts? Does the PS think its "just swelling"? Seems to be the answer for everything......grrrr

So today is 11 days since my MM and I feel fine. I honestly have not had any problems thus far and have had very minimal pain (knock on wood) I am hoping everything keeps going so smoothly. I am still swollen which sucks because you cant see how good you look at all...I have been staying busy all week and my body has not had a problem with it! I drove to see my therapist this morning for the first time since my surgery and had no problems. I also walked 3 miles this morning before my appointment...still cant wait to be able to get back into the gym for real!! The only thing that is irritating me lately is the fact that I have to wear these tight spanx all day with my binder over it!! My binder keeps sliding up the spanx, and it gets all bunched, and its a pain in the butt to fix and so on...I cant wait to be free from the binder and spanx!! I went out on a date with my honey yesterday, we went out to one of my favorite restaurants and to see Spider Man in IMAX 3D. To anyone who is having an upcoming surgery my advice would be you can do it and as long as you take care of yourself and take your meds you should be fine. Its really not that bad...I have a low pain tolerance and the pain has been minimal....more soreness and less actual pain. Good luck to all you ladies out there!!
