One Month Post Op!

WORTH IT$6,215
Yay! The twins are one month old! I feel great they feel a bit hard lol. Still a little firm but are way softer than in the beginning. Have a little feeling in one of my nipple but not much. The other one is still numb at the nipple and down.
I have been wearing sports more than the compression bra given to me. But are still supportive. Haven't dropped really but swelling has gone down significantly.
I have been working out like my DR. said it was ok. But today I did my first push up and it didn't hurt it just felt weird. I did a plank and that was ok. I did biceps triceps and shoulders and it was ok! No pain. Didn't feel like I over did it. I did my first cycling class and it was fun! Couldn't hang with the class but I held up well. Hoping to get cleared to resume activity because I am scheduled to start training and prep for my first bikini competition on saturday! So fingers crossed. Going in to my post op appointment today and will make another video. So stay tuned for vlog 10!

Girl you are looking more fabulous each time you post! The twins look great :) yay you are back to working out too! Scars look beautiful too :) I am having my surgery @ 6:15 pm yikes the day has come!!!!!
Thank you thank you nyki2k14! We'll see what dr. Says about me doing upper body at the appointment in 15 mins lol. Yay! Almost around the corner! And I bet your starving eight now lol. Actually.... you should be checking in soon. Good lock doll! And come out with some new twins and hopefully high on meds lol
OMG Lena! I was so excited when I stumbled across your vlogs... and you're gorgeous to boot! I'm also a fitness junkie (went from 111lbs 01/10 to 208lbs 02/12.. fell completely off the wagon after 2 consecutive breast fed babies and a stressful small business complete with complementary lawsuit) after 2 years of slow weight loss, and then 5 months of intense training, I can now squeeze my bottom into a lovely pair of size 3 jeans again (horray for me! I'm so happy!) But as a trade off my boobies all but disappeared... I love your vlogs and find you such an inspiration, with both your getting lean and BA stories.. keep it up, happy healing, and you're gonna knock 'em dead at your competition ;)
Aw thank you MissJade! And congrats that's a lot of weight girl!
Just wanted to say i love that you are putting up pics of your scars. I went to consult my doc and i was dead set on the arm pit incision. He said he'd do it but he prefers the incision you have. I was going back and forth about it and was going to insist on arm pit because i had no idea what expect with the other cut. I feel A LOT more comfortable now with this incision now because of your posts. Thank you :) :)
Thank you! I thought of the arm pit, but the scar would be even worse I though and as well as my doc, but so far my scars have faded significantly. I have been taking care of them though. Worth it!
Hi Lena. :) I'm gonna bug you again. I'm deciding on my last issue and that's silicone or saline. I keep going back and forth. Can you tell me what made you go with silicone?
Hey, more natural looking. They felt more natural. I personally think they are safer and for my purpose and reasons gummy bear was a better decsion for me. Fitness, competing, and being a personal trainer.
Thank you so much. These at such big decisions. I never thought it would be this difficult to decide. :)
Hi R'Lena! I just came across your RealSelf posting and watched your blogs and am so thrilled you've done this. I appreciate all your comments and honesty through this process. I'm sure you're helping many other patients as you document and tell your story!

Omg thank you for your review :) is so insightful and descriptive. And you look great now (you look great before as well). Also your vlog are a very good idea, makes it seem more real. Idk but thank you and good luck with your competition in October :)
Thank you ks2011. I appreciate it. And thanks for the luck I start training next week. And I will keep updating too. Hopefully these girls are ready lol
No problem :) Sooo how did you choose your PA? I'm trying to decide lol
Just the feeling the staff and Dr. K. Gave me. So warming and professional. The other Dr's vibe was like, "oh, here we go, another consultation..." they were not excited as I was lol. Also referrals from 3 close friends and lost of word of mouth hahah
Ok so just use my own judgment and be sure they're genuine. I'm a good judge of character so that will be easy. Thanks and hope everything is healing well. If you don't mind, im going to use you as my "wish boobs" lol :)
Holy crap your scars look like that in 3 weeks?! I'm not allowed to put any on mine until 6 weeks eugh. Looking great girl x
Really! Even maderma? Even if it's fuller healed and not open?
Yep- nothing until I've seen my PS:(
Amazing scars !
Thank you. I poke them all the time. Lol I can't wait to NOT feel them lol
