Reaction to the tape...boooo
Here is a picture of how I'm supposed to tape up my breasts. But, after two days of taping them, I have a big blister in my cleavage so I have to take a couple days off of taping to let it heal. The bummer is that I used tape for sensitive skin. :/
On a happy note, we went to Vegas this past weekend for our anniversary and I needed a new bra for my little black dress. I was able to buy two bras from Walmart for less than $30!!! Both were a 36D. I suspect I'm closer to a 34DD but I'm still a little swollen. They're not the best quality but since I'm not sure what size I'll be when it's all said and done, I did t want to spend a lot right away. I snipped the underwire out though because it is definitely not comfy to wear underwire yet. My LBD (little black dress) fit so much better now with my perky little boobs.
The Hubs LOVES the new girls. He loved the old ones but he's like a kid with a new toy right now. I love my new boobs so much that I don't mind being topless in front of him now and I feel much sexier when I am. I used to hate my old saggy boobs.
My back pain is significantly better. I think being able to sleep on my sides has really helped. I can even gently roll onto my stomach now. I still catch myself hunching over like I used to but I am trying to make an effort to keep my shoulders back. I never used to because I felt like I was sticking my chest out and making it more obvious.

Another post op appointment
Saw my PS today. He said my weepy spots are "spitting sutures". They should have dissolved but haven't yet. He picked at the a little and snipped the ends. It didn't hurt because I still have a lot of numbness around my incisions.
He also taped my "puffs", as I call them. The puffs of skin beneath my breasts. He showed me how to tape them loosely first to protect my skin and then more firmly over the first layer to strap them down and lift and support them. He said it will help that skin re-attach and it will also help support and lift my breasts so that they heal with a good lift. I'll take pics of the tape and post later.
I also asked about the soreness around my ribs and underarms. He said he removed a lot of tissue there and the nerves were waking up. It would subside over the next few months. At this point my breasts are just tender like when you're getting ready to start your period. He also said I can start massaging my incisions with lotion or oil.
He also said its ok for me to hike and do light exercise, just nothing bouncy or involving my upper body. Over all, I am healing really well and I'm very happy with my results so far.

Three weeks today
I went walking yesterday, about a mile or so. Since I live in the mountains, it was more like a hike though. It felt good to get a little exercise.
We went to the River over the holiday weekend and took our boat. I did pretty well. I did have to help launch and dock our boat. I dipped into the water a few times to cool off. I can't stand the feeling of sweat on my incisions. It itches and irritates me. I made sure to shower with dial soap as soon as we got back to our room though.
My incisions are looking good. I just have two little weepy spots on my right side at the T-junctions. One by my nipple and one underneath. I'll post close ups and you can let me know what you think. I have a follow up with my ps on Friday so I can ask him too. I can also ask him about the extra roll of skin underneath my breasts since those are still there. They do seem to be getting a little smaller though.
