I so feel you. Hang in there! How are the boobs? I was surprised that after all of my swelling went away that I ended up with a 34DD or 36D (I actually measure a 35, so depending on the bra, I can do either a 34 or 36). Doc and I had agreed on a full C/small D. You know what though, they look and feel really good. They have dropped to a nice position, I have no scar on the breast (doc did a trans-axillary incision), and no loss of nipple sensation. I am very happy with how everything turned out with the girls. How are yours so far? I can imagine they are still painful, swollen, and high. I started with massages about one week post-op, and it really helped. Hubs also enjoyed watching me rub and squeeze them :)
Hello. I have really been very lucky in having a fast recovery. That first couple of weeks were horrible. By the third week, I was standing straight, all of the swelling was gone, the pain was minimal, I was back to doing all of my normal chores/errands and (this is the best part) I was shopping for clothes. I have been super busy and not good about updating. My bruising is completely gone, and I need to post my after pictures as promised. You are right, it has been quite a journey. Not just physically, but emotionally. I was not prepared for the mental/emotional part. I am happy to say that it really has all been worth it. I feel absolutely FANTASTIC. No longer am I obsessing over what I eat, how my clothes fit, or what I look like. I am just happy and confident all the way around, and that has given me more energy. Since I no longer obsess over myself, I can also devote more time to my family, work, and helping other people. If money can buy happiness, I recommend a mommy makeover :) I hope you (and all of the wonderful mommies) are just as happy with your results!
I'm glad to hear you are doing so well. You look great, Lady! Just wait until the day comes when the swelling is down and you feel up to going shopping. It is so much fun! Everyday you will feel and look better. I enjoy reading all of your posts.
It gets way better. I promise. Sorry you had a rough night. The first week for me was very hard, but by the second week I was feeling so much better. The third week was the best when I went shopping and clothes never fit better or looked so good. You are in my thoughts today.
