The Road to the New Me - Livonia, MI

I can totally relate to wanting to feel normal again. I just want to run my sweeper and mop my floors. Instead I am forced to sit on the couch and think about it. Grrr.

My left breast (just a lift on both) is looking fine! My right, however, not so much. It is lopsided, and the nipple is cowering as if it were afraid to come out. I am hoping that it changes as the swelling goes down and my body adjusts to its new arrangements. I am only 2 and a half weeks out. It is too soon to expect perfection, I suppose. :-)

Good luck!!

Thanks, Sweetie! I LOVE the Arnica Montana. I slather the gel on a couple times a day (my incision is a little seepy, so I change my underwear often) and then Aquaphor at night.

You are keeping me going! I am week 2.5, and slowly getting there. I have made it from the recliner to the couch, but not yet to the bed. I try laying on the bed each night, but still not there yet.

My left side (flank) is more swollen than my right, too. But! I am starting to see curves. Amazing!

Keep up the healing! You are totally rocking the 2 piece. Awesome!

I think I was led to your post today! I am on week PO today, and have had the same experiences right along the same timeline as you. I am 37, 3 kids, 1 husband, etc, and had a similar previous build as you. I am still not able to sleep in a bed, and the numbness in my trunk is sometimes painful, but always annoying. :-) I am so glad to hear that you are starting to see some curves! I am starting to notice that my old undies and nighties are baggy where the big old mommy pouch used to bulge. Thank you for the wonderful advice!!
