Getting Ready - Austin, TX

I have been told to wear the surgery bras for 6 months. Now at 3.5 months post I am so over these cotton shapeless uglies........This weekend I went to Dillards to see my bra lady. She handed me one bra choice in the "no underwire category"- what the hell!!! We had limited choices prior to surgery and I guess they continue a little longer. So another warcoal pull over bralette -aaarrgghhh - boring. In addition she looks at me and says - you will end up DD or DDD - again WTHell. I understand so many ladies do not end up as small as they wish. I am loads smaller and it is great but I just wish the surgeons would stop misleading almost everyone. So a while longer in the land of cotton ugly.
On another topic - I stopped wearing the micropore tape at 3 months and have so much more redness on the nipples and front scar. It must be friction - I think I am going to start wearing it again for a while..............best wishes dear ladies - you and you new boobs are all beautiful.

It was my 3 month anniversary on the 5th. All is well and very happy with my new boobs. I have been surprised that full healing really takes as long as they said. The only issues are still sleeping - I am okay if I sleep on my side only if wear a bra. Last night I tried without and had a few scary moments where I felt I was straining something when I turned & this morning feels swollen on one side- I will keep the bra on to sleep for another month and try again. I am also keeping my tape on around my nipples to protect the tender skin in a little while longer - when I leave it off I get a little redness. Still no new bras - perhaps this weekend - craving something other than white surgical!! One of the most things recently was going dancing to 80's music. Dancing without the boobs is fantastic. I always felt self-conscious before about raising or waving the arms - I had the best time!
I am keeping up with everyone and am glad everyone is doing so well. HVD!! Enjoy all that smaller boobs has to offer! ;-)
