46 Years, No Kids, 80G (36DDD), Frankfurt, Germany - What Took Me So Long?

I can't believe how time flies and now I am more than 7 weeks post op, incredible. I always want to update, but I keep forgetting. Maybe it is a good thing, because boobs are not my most important topic anymore. Just a few facts:

After 6 weeks I went to see my surgeon and everything looks really good. I was cleared to go back to normal activities, listening to my body. So I can do sports and he said I can start aging to dress a bit more sophisticated ;-)

I know my boobs don't have their final size yet, but I had to go bra shopping … I just had to. I went to my preferred department store, as they have a huge bra selection and excellent staff. I was overwhelmed, because I have so many more options now. No underwire though. I tried on numerous different bras and bought two of the same style in …. tadaaaa … 85B (which is 36B I guess) … after I finally found this one in a B cup I was very emotional. Just perfect.
I love my new boobs every single day. They are perfect to me and I am so, so, so happy.

My scars are itching like craaaaazy … and there still is some soreness from time to time. I do massage them every night before going to bed (mostly hubby does it ;-) and I use Schüssler No.1 cream or BiOil alternating. The scars are still very red, and they become wider. Do I care? Not to much. It is the size that matters most to me.

Sleeping is wonderful. I sleep braless for 2 weeks now and it is perfect. I sometimes even lie on my stomach for a few minutes. But it is not too comfortable yet, but side sleeping … no problem.

I went for a slow run last week, and it felt great. I will try a gym class tomorrow, see how that goes. I also started with weight watchers again to get rid of a few pounds. See how far I will come. But my belly really bothers me, as it is now very "dominant" ;-)

Anyway … I will post a few pictures tomorrow. Happy healing everybody :-)

I am wondering ... Is the bright redness of my scars normal? I am feeling fine though, just the usual mixture of little twinges, itching and a bit of swelling ...

This morning I woke up around 7 o'clock and my First thought was ... exactly three weeks ago I was all marked up, ready for surgery. Wow, three weeks. When I remember ... for how long I have been dreaming about it and now it is already in the past ...

I am still sore!!! And swollen! That's is :-) I am not writing this to complain, I am still so happy about everything. Just mentioning it because it is what it is ;-) no need to worry I hope.
I had a wonderful moment yesterday. I wanted to buy a support bra that doesn't rub so intensely on my lower incisions. So I went to a larger department store and asked for help. I always went to this place to buy my one-man-tents aka 36G's ;-) because the staff there is very helpful. So she let me try on some sports bras. She gave me 38C and it was ... way to large!!! The cups were just to big. And even a 36C was a bit larger than needed. Oh how I loved this feeling ... I did not buy anything cause all of them were not cheap, and I am not spending that much money on something that doesn't fit anymore after everything has settled. But again ... How I loved my breasts in a normal sports bra. I so envy you US girls. There is no such thing as Walmart here. Maybe I should look online.
I am at my parents house for the holidays currently. Today is Christmas Eve.
When my mom saw me yesterday for the first time after hospital in some real clothes she said ... oh ... there's almost nothing left ;-) Trust me mom, there is ;-)
Large boobs ran in my moms family ... all of us where gifted with it ;-)
Anyway ... I really can't wait for the soreness to be gone ... and I am still freaking a bit over the fact that there can still be complications ... I hope not though.

Please give me patience!!! NOW!!! ;-)

Wishing everybody wonderful holidays.
