4.5 weeks postop

Just wanted to update you ladies. Had a Dr. Appt today. Dr. Kim said they look great, keep massaging and told me I still need to keep sleeping sitting up :(
On a different note, this has been a stressful week. Last Saturday I broke up with my fiancé and moved out. This was by far the hardest decision I've ever had to make. I love him very much, but I love myself and my kids more. I couldn't stay in a relationship where my kids and I weren't being respected. Up until the last minute I tried talking to him to work out these issues, I prayed for many days before I came to this decision...he had no interest in speaking to me or working on this and that was my answer to move on. I lost it all and am now starting over living at my mom's house with my kids. I'm heartbroken for my kids and my mother in law...but all I can do is move on and start over with my kids

Stiches removed

I went in today with Dr. Kim to have my stiches removed. He fast yet gentle and in having conversation with him I didn't even feel it. He said my boobs are coming along nicely, however he did notice (as did I) that my right breast is a bit higher than the left. He said I just need to give a bit more attention to my right one. He said I can start to wear a regular underwrite bra with no padding (yeyyyy)...but I'm a bit scared to damage them with the wire. I might stick to my sports bras for a few more weeks. I told him the sports bra I have now is really tight and cuts into my ribs. He had me put it back on and agreed that it is tight. He gave me the go ahead to change it for 34d or DD. He told me I still need to continue to sleep sitting up to ensure the girl settle and hang properly. We discussed working out. He said I can resume light cardio by next week and regular workout by 6 weeks postop. I was instructed to start taking 1000 grams of vitamin E and said I could apply silicone based scar treatment lotion. Let's see what else....oh, he took pics and said I'm still pretty high up there but it looks good. He squeezed the girls and said they were beginning to get squishy :)

Itchy Itchy

I woke up this morning with an intense urge to scratch my boobs...I'm assuming the skin is stretching that's why they are so itchy. Can any of you ladies recommend lotion, oil anything I can apply. I'm doing everything in my power not to scratch them.
