From 32H to a New Me.- Bellingham, WA

I am about 6 months post BR now, and I feel great. I can't believe that 6 months ago I was a 32H. It's hard to imagine I was ever that big. It is so nice to be normal. Every once in a awhile I look at myself and think "am I really that small?" It's amazing!

I am a 34C now. I was told months ago by Victoria Secret that I was either a 32D or a 34C. I can't bring myself to try on the 32D, so I went up a band size. Lately though, I've been wanting to try one on, but I'm afraid the D will fit. I know it's ridiculous to be afraid of one size, but its a "D". I think this weekend will be the weekend I suck it up, and try it. Heck, I might even try an underwire bra.

At 6 months post I am still a little sore especially is I lay on it wrong. Tonight I trip over the rug, went forward, and my boob landed smack dab on the top spool of a chair. I can tell you that really hurt. Word of advice, don't do that. HAHA Other than that, I am doing well.

I can't believe in almost 4 months since I had my breast reduction. I'm feeling pretty good. The swelling almost gone, and I feel pretty good. I'm back at the gym, and the only thing I hestitate doing is the Superman pose. My boobs are still a little hard on the inside, so laying on them like that isn't comfortable yet. I'm getting close though. I can finally sleep on my side. I am 90% back sleeper, and being able to use the 10% on my side is awesome.

Today I got bikini top in the mail (already had the bottoms+tankini). I used to wear a bathing suit with underwire. I am glad I don't have to wear it anymore.

Life is good

Going into my 3rd month post, I realized a few things: 1. I buy a lot of bras, then I take them back. Why? Because I am still trying to find that perfect bra that I won't change at some point in the day. I wish I could buy bras like I buy shoes...you try them on, and walk around the shoe department to make sure they're comfortable. 2. My boobs are soft on the outside, and hard on the inside. It's like the peach you just bought, because it was soft on the outside, but when you cut it opened, it was still hard in the center. It could have stayed on the tree a little bit longer. 3. I feel best in the morning. I am the most sore at the end of the day, snce I am a back sleeper my boobs lay flat all night. When I get up in the morning, them are well rested and thank me. Then it starts all over again.

By 3 months post, you should get the bounce back in your boobs. you arent as sore, and you should normal again. The soreness will be minimal, and you won't need to take a pain pill quite as often (some people are don't take pain pills at all). I have a low pain tolerance, so I still take ibuprofen on occasion. All in all, you'll feel fantastic.
