19 Year Old, Happy and Guilty - Atlanta, GA

New pics. :)

Goodmorning, ladies. I got my dressings taken off yesterday to expect new pics momentarily. I wanted to briefly talk about the depression that comes along with the surgery. Now it's certainly not for all women but it is important for me to remember that I just had a TRANSFORMATION and it is normal to be question myself. This is a big step for all of us towards lifting ourselves up (literally) and building our self esteem as women. Whether it is obvious or not the connection women have with their bodies is something that only we can understand. Our breasts are our lifeline to feeding children, they protect our hearts (even if we have a little TOO much protection), and I don't know about yall, but my boobies have gotten me a free thing or two. I just wanted to say, no matter how much pain they caused, no matter how "ugly" we thought they were, it is okay to miss them. It is okay to have second thoughts about getting the surgery post-op. It is okay to wonder if you have done something wrong. It's normal to be connected to your body and that is all it is, an intimate connection with yourself. If anyone is feeling that way I was I would suggest going outside and taking walks whenever you can, writing, reading positive stories, online shopping for all the cute things you can wear now, and relieve as much pain as you possibly can. It is often hard to be happy while in pain but try to accept it and think of the soreness and the random pings of pain as healing processes and there is nothing more beautiful than a woman's body healing itself. Good luck ladies, and good energy your way.

I went back to work today. I work at a spa so luckily one of the massage therapist came over and worked on the awful tension in my back and shoulders from sleeping on my back and being so tense in my shoulders during the day. It was amazing. Ladies, I recommend massage. It's not just a luxury event. It is important to take care of our bodies on the inside and out. Many people forget to take care of their muscles, but they are a part of out bodies too! Although everyone was raving about how skinny I look (YAY!) I really want to start back exercising. I feel like my breast are small now so my stomach is very noticeable. I'm not freaking out about it though, it;s just something I want to work on. I am exactly ten days post op and I feel great. I'm off all pain medications except when I started my cycle my breasts began to have a throbbing pain and I took some Tylenol. Funny how the body reacts when it realizes something is missing. I'm excited to start shopping and to not wear a bra anymore. I was the type of girl with big boobs that would walk around without a bra anyway because I hate them so much so I can't wait to take this stupid thing off. Though I'm not opposed to go sexy lingerie shopping! I hope everyone is doing well. Good energy your way, ladies.
