2 months post op
So today is 2 months after my surgery. Time seems to fly by now.
I've been working out for a few weeks now. Slowly getting back into running. Very happy about that!
Most days I'm very happy with my results. On days when I'm bloated I get disappointed that the results don't meet my expectations. Some days I still get upset about my size and weight despite the vast improvement. I guess there's no easy fix to stopping the negative inner voice we as women tend to have.
I can still tell a difference in the size of my boobs but the right one is starting to not feel like a boulder in my armpit any more. It's softening up a little.
I've stopped using the biocorneum on my scars because I went thru two bottles that didn't seem to do anything and it's very expensive. I'm going to pick up something else this week for scar treatment. Haven't figured out what yet.
I'm certain I still have fluid around my belly that should be drained but my dr here doesn't want to drain it. She says it's not enough to bother with. It's certainly not enough to bother going back to Boston for, so I'm living with it for now.
One weird thing that's happening now that I've never had before is zits on my cleavage. Some are really painful. It's gross and something I totally didn't think about.

Not much change. I had my first strength training session this week. Most things felt fine. Push ups felt strange but things loosened up as the session went on. Definitely feeling the workout today - day after. But very happy to be back to the gym.
I noticed afterwards I definitely had fluid build up around my lower belly so made an apt to see my doctor. Not the cosmetic surgeon as she's in Boston. My dr at home is sending me for an ultrasound on Friday as she's not sure if it's an infection or a soft tissue edema or something else. It's not painful or bothersome except that it's clearly a wobbly belly which is rather frustrating after a tummy tuck. Hopefully it'll sort itself out soon.
Right boob still feels harder and higher than the left.

5 weeks post op
I've been moving house over the past two weeks so internet has been spotty at best hence missing week 4 update.
I went back to Boston for my 1 month f/u which was the first time seeing dr since 1 week f/u. She drained a little fluid from my belly but otherwise was very happy with progress. I couldn't tell there was fluid needing to be drained but I can see a difference afterwards. It was about 10-20cc the nurse said.
The office ordered me a smaller merana garment but charged me for this one. I also got some more scar treatment.
Still noticing a difference in size between boobs. Really not happy about that. Dr said they may always feel different as the implants were so different - 250cc and 375cc. The right one still feels like it's up in my armpit whereas the left feels perfectly natural.
