Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but this will be a month and a day post-op! Time really flies... especially when you aren't thinking about them much.

My boobs have mostly healed up all the way, just waiting on one problem area on my left breast (where it split a little). I go to my one month check up in 2 days, and I'm hoping I get cleared to workout at 100% because I REALLY need to start running!

A few updates throughout the month:
1. I was able to lift my arms up comfortably almost immediately after surgery.
2. I was able to sleep on my side at around a week and a half post-op and on my stomach (comfortably) around one month post-op.
3. I started using Bio Oil when all incisions and openings healed/closed up around 3 weeks post-op.
4. I haven't started using my scar sheets yet, but I will once my PS gives me the green light.
5. I started taking vitamin C chewies around 2 weeks pre-op until now (I didn't take them everyday, I forgot most times)... Not sure if they helped promote healing or not, but they were yummy.
6. Every time I had an internal stitch starting to surface I pulled them out! Some were really long and some were just knots that I had to cut through with a blade before extracting, but boy was it a relief for them to come out! I'm the type of person who will pull at foreign objects that don't belong to the body lol.. I'm just weird like that, I guess it's the pre-doc in me. They also won't heal all the way if the internal stitch is sticking out. I guess if you can't pull them out yourself then wait for your PS to do it... I'm just impatient (I posted pics of the stitches)
7. I've lost a total of 15 lbs since surgery (including the 5 lbs from breast tissue). I have stayed stagnant at this weight so I really need to start working out to get the ball rolling again.
8. My appetite is still very weird... I haven't regained most of my appetite yet.. some days I can eat regularly, other days I'm just not hungry! Not really complaining about that though lol.
9. I'm in zero pain and the scarring seems to be doing well so far. The horizontal scar underneath is darker and thicker than the vertical line which is fine by me because the horizontal scar doesn't show unless I lift my arms all the way up.
10. The right breast still has a little boxiness towards the bottom of it.
11. I never really had any swelling to my breasts, as they look like the exact same size from surgery day.
12. I'm really enjoying my SMALL perky breasts and I don't regret having the surgery one bit :)

...I think that's it for now!
Happy Healing :)

You look great! You're right, you don't look like you weigh that much. You look really trim. I'm still waiting on an answer from insurance (sigh).. Trying to be patient. I just want to get rid of these melons lol. Gotta laugh about or I will cry. Good luck to you and thanks for sharing. It really helps women like me.

Forgot to mention that I have some separation and peeling going on... I thought that if I'm going to post pictures on here, I'll post pictures of everything! The boob pictures I just posted are at 14 days, so a couple of days ago, hoping they heal all the way very soon! They look better already.

Apart from that, I'm so happy! I've never been this confident... Like it is an awesome feeling knowing that I'm going to look good in something before I even try it on! I'm also wearing a whole bunch of clothes that I haven't worn in years or haven't even taken the tags off of yet. So I don't really have to do much shopping, its awesome!

Hope everyone else is doing well.
Happy Healing!

Yes they do, thanks! He said that it should heal well and not scar, so I'm happy about that. Hope you're healing well too!
