Week 6 & 7 update

hello ladies! I've been away for a little while, now that my boobs are feeling back to normal, and we had Thanksgiving, I've been busy!

It's now been seven weeks, and I can't believe it's been that long already. Here is my quick update.

My boobs officially feel like part of my body. When I massage, I can really push some decently hard in any direction without any pain. I can wear the seatbelt like a normal person. I can easily wash the incisions and touch them without any problem. They no longer feel heavy on my chest, and they look pretty normal. I don't really notice any day-to-day changes anymore. I think I looks pretty normal and clothing, just a little better than before ;). Incisions are still definitely there, I can for sure see them. I'm not putting on the gauze and consistently using a Vaseline type thing anymore, and I have notice of the scars look a little bit more red since I stopped doing that. But overall they're pretty fine, I just use some bio oil and a Vaseline with vitamin E. Not eating superhealthy, I still haven't been to the gym really. But now that's more just out of laziness then the ability not to. I can wear tight fitting shirts and feel confident in them and not like my boobs look large or Misshapen or anything like that. I am wearing some bras with wires and is completely fine. I also bought a push-up bra, which can be kind of uncomfortable and it doesn't look that much better than the regular bra but whatever. I definitely can feel the implants, and I definitely have some rippling along the outsides and underneath of my breast if specially if I lean forward. I can only see it if I'm basically bent over the counter in the bathroom and I can see it in the mirror, I can feel it if I basically try to feel it. I asked the doctor and he said that it's pretty typical for women who are "thin ". So whatever, if that's the price I have to pay that's fine. I think that's pretty much it! I am happy to entertain any questions. Oh and I still sleep with a surgical bra on, I can sleep on my side and sometimes I have even slept on my stomach. I usually don't fall asleep on my stomach, but I might wake up that way.

I have my post op appointment next Friday with my doc. I really should get to the gym.

4 week update

hi ladies. So, week four. I don't think I've noticed too much of a difference in the look of my breasts since week three, but I have increase my activity level once I hit the four week mark. I went to the gym for the first time yesterday, where I walked on the treadmill for about 15 minutes, and then went on The elliptical for another 10. I wore a sports bra that was kind of too small, and that had wires. I wore my surgical garments underneath, because it's very thin, and I figured it would just provide some extra support. I could feel them moving around a little bit, but no more than when I'm just walking around.

At the gym I also did some legs, a little bit of abs, and even some arms, but with very light weights. I have no problem picking things up, for the most part but I still won't push it. Like, I won't lift a box of 12 1 liter bottles of water.

Today I went for a long walk and a little bit of a hike, and I feel like I can feel it in my boobs. They just feel more tender than they have in a while. So, I guess that's what listening to my body is about.

I made the mistake of weighing myself at the gym, and I was up about 4 pounds. Which was pretty upsetting since last weekend I did not weigh that additional 4 pounds. So… I'm not too happy with my tell me right now, but I'm pretty happy with my boobs.

Sensitivity is still gone, there still a little bit of numbness but not very much. They're pretty squishy for the most part, but sometimes I do notice that they feel a bit more hard, and that bothers me of course. But I know they're still healing, but still.

I still put the seatbelt behind my back when I'm driving, but I don't really need to I guess. Very comfortably sleeping on my side pretty much all the time. I still haven't worn any underwire except in my bra that I wore to the gym, but I feel like my boobs are pretty well settled. I bought an underwire bra today, that you can see below from Victoria's Secret. I might try it for a few hours at a time, and see how it goes. I think that's pretty much all my updates! Happy to answer any questions and good luck to all of you.

Three week update

ladies, this week is when I have experienced the most improvement, both and how my breasts feel and look. Mostly how they feel. They are finally starting to feel like part of my own body, and the pain is very minimal almost negligible. I can lift most things I need to for daily life, but I still keep the seatbelt behind my back. They now look pretty much normal underclothing, and I can wear most of my usual clothing, even things that are more formfitting. The crazy nipple sensitivity has pretty much gone away. I can enjoy the shower. I had sex with my boyfriend, yay! Plus I weighed myself a few days ago, and I shockingly did not gain a single pound. I was sure that I was at least retaining water. So all this is good news. It was almost like overnight the breast that I thought was too high, dropped. I still think they have some dropping to do. But I definitely feel them softening. What else.... I'm wearing some Genie bras with thin straps and no underwire or padding or cups. I took one ibuprofen for a headache and it was fine. I have not been to the gym yet to do any real cardio, but will probably start at least walking and bike next week. I guess that's it! Here are some pics. Feel free to ask questions.
