15 Days Post-Op

I became very large breasted as a teenager and wanted a BR. Eventually, I decided not to pursue it in case I wanted to breast feed and for other reasons. I ended up not having children, and also gained a lot of weight. After a number of important life cycle efforts, I made peace with my issues and decided to get healthy, fit and lose weight.

About 18 months ago, I had a BR consultation. I had only lost 35 lbs by then and knew I needed to lose more before proceeding. Now, I lost 72 lbs and have the BR scheduled. It's odd. For years my large breasts were a big problem for me. Then, I made peace with them. I think it was all part of my bigger life issues. So now, I like my body more than I ever have. I think I look good, and have gone back and forth on the BR several times. I can't imagine it. You know, the idea that I can sleep on my stomach (long after the surgery of course), reduce back, shoulder and neck pain (I hope) and have people actually talk to my face instead of my boobs. (Although I do use the boobs against them. I mean it only seem fair.) Anyway, I still have time for my pre-surgery panic . . . so there's that to look forward to. LOL. This group has been a great find, and I thank you all.

So, I'm trying to lose another 15 lbs before the surgery and get caught up on work. I see my PS this week for my pre-op. Yes, its early, but he will be out of town for a while. Well that's all for today.
