Hi, I am on week 10 and went swimming in a lake around week 3 but only a quick dip as it was sweltering, I showered and used disinfecting soap right away after getting out and all was fine. Good to be safe though, I am still having trouble with energy and went out and got a protein powder which I add fruit and make a shake and this helps. I did see Palmers in shoppers so it does exist here. I could only wear a bra for 4 hours the first month or so and went braless but am now more tolerant. Heal well, enjoy what's left of the summer.
I was away last week and the tape started falling off after my shower so I pulled it all off. I did retape but the stuff I bought never lasted more than 2 days perhaps because of the extreme humidity.
Also it was so hot half way through week 3 I went and sat in the water of an outdoor lake with a friend and showered after and all seems well. It was lovely to have a cute tankini halter top, i actually am now smaller than all my friends.
I am still not back to my normal energy but doing more like I mowed the lawn a little but still not lifting much.
Ice seems to be the best relief and I am also moisturizing the scars now. I am wondering if silicone sheets are worth the bother since some doctors say it makes no difference. Does anyone have an opinion?
Hi, I am about at the 2 weeks post op and the doc said either to moisturize or tape, is anyone moisturizing their nipples? All has gone well though I make a point of not getting over critical of the shape, secretly I am amazed, theres some puckering and stretch marks if I scrutinize. Am curious about what you moisturize with?
Thanks for any advice.
Yes I am napping a lot and I think our bodies are using all reserves of energy toward healing. I overdid it a bit today, any repetitive arm movement seems to be too much. I feel like I have a raging sunburn.
The tea sounds good, take care and don't faint. I hear you on the towells though I have an 18 year old son who uses 2 new towells every day after a shower. I got some antibacterial soap at shoppers and feel showering with it helps. Have you had any discharge? I haven't had much and am now waiting for the tape to fall off.
Also waiting for teenage son to empty dishwasher and that may never happen either.
Hang in there!
