T Minus 3 Days to Go from 34H to 34C - Austin, TX

It's been a while since I posted an update, so I thought I'd write one up really quick. I've been feeling pretty good for the last couple of months, but I've recently started getting sharp sudden pains that are very random. About a week ago, it lasted for about two hours off and on and that's been the worst I've had. Mostly, it lasts a few seconds once or twice a day. Also, my scars were itching like crazy the other day. It was more annoying than anything.

I still haven't gotten any new bras, but I have a gift card to VS, so I may go see if I can get a pretty lace bra since I still don't have one. I'm getting used to the size more and more every day. I still wish I was a little bit smaller, but overall, I am very happy with the difference in my overall well being. My quality of life is so much better and that was the main reason I had this surgery, so mission accomplished :)

I attached a couple pics with clothing on to show what that looks like. I now wear size smalls and mediums in shirts which is pretty awesome! In dresses, I have to get them in a larger size to fit my chest, which is kinda crappy, but at least I can now find dresses that will actually zip up/close all the way. That's a pretty good feeling, even if I have to take in the sides on my bottom half.

Now, I just need to get my butt back in the gym so I can be ready for bikini shopping in a few months!

This mornings shower washed away all remaining scabs! :D It feels so great!

Although I am very happy with the way I've been healing, I've been having some issues with getting myself to like the way I look. I feel like I'm still too big :( I went shopping this weekend, and I am still having to purchase clothing in larger sizes to fit my chest. I got fitted for bras and I am a 32F! I must have been more like a J or K before surgery because there's no way I am only down two cup sizes. I was also able to fit into a 34DD, but the cup is a bit on the small side and the band is a bit big. I'm not going to invest in any quality bras for another few months 1) to make sure all swelling is gone and 2) I'm hoping to get back in the gym soon and loose some weight.

Anyway, here's a pic as promised.

I haven't updated in a while, so I thought I'd write one up really quick.

Everything is going really good. About a week after my last update, the two fresh spots were closed. I have a few spots that are still scabbed over, but for the most part, all the scabs have come off and the scars are very faint. I had a three week post op with my doctor and he said that he hasn't seen anyone look as good as me at three weeks! He recommended that I buy Skin Medica scar recovery serum, and his office sells it for $99. Well, I found it online for $72 with free shipping, so I ordered it from there and started using it a couple of days ago. We'll see if it was worth the money.

I've been sleeping on my side for the last two weeks and I've even woken up a few times in the middle of night because I rolled over to my stomach during my sleep. The first time I was in pain, but the last time I was actually kind of comfortable. I sleep with a pillow at my side and I was still hugging that, so I think the extra cushioning under me helped out a lot. Even though it was comfy, I rolled back to my side just in case. Sleeping has definitely gotten much more comfortable over the last few weeks!

I'm going shopping for bras tomorrow and I'm excited and nervous! I'm going to Victoria's Secret, just because I've never been able to shop there for bras. It should be quite the experience! I may just go there and get one or two really pretty ones then go to Target and get a few cheapies :)

I still haven't gotten back to my regular physical activity. I'm exhausted by the end of the day and don't have the energy to do much. My hubby and I are going to try to go walking tonight so we'll see how that goes. I'm ready to get back in the gym!

I know I said this last time, but I'll try to get some pics up as soon as possible :)
