3 weeks, 2 days - I haven't updated in a while....
WORTH IT$6,700
3 weeks, 2 days - I haven't updated in a while. I've had computer issues and have resorted to my back up computer. So frustrating. Anyway, Thursday was my 3 weeks. I'm feeling great! Boobies are getting pretty soft, and feeling good! At my post op my PS told me I could start lower body workouts at 3 weeks, and work in upper body at 4. So I hit the gym yesterday and did my class with my trainer (a small group of us do a circuit training type class with a trainer 3 days a week). He customized a lower body workout for me so I pretty much just did legs yesterday! Boy are they feeling it today! But it felt SO good to work out again! Time to re-tone and get back in shape for my bikini!!
I'll have to take an updated photo and post it. I don't think much has really changed appearance wise, other than maybe the swelling being down. I still feel the left is a little bigger, but I'm not obsessing as much over it.
Hope all you ladies in boobie-land are doing great!!! :)

Ok I was asked how I felt in comparison to the sizers I tried on - bigger, smaller or the same. I would say I do they they appear smaller than the sizers did - probably like the girl in the office said about 10% smaller? I'm not sure how much my placement affects that - dual plane. But overall I would say I look smaller and the sizers do give a bit of a misrepresentation of size. I'm posting 2 new pics with side by side comparisons so you can see the difference. I know the tank top ones are kind of fuzzy so it's harder to tell.

(Ok, I've been trying to "reply" all morning and it's not letting me. Let's see if this works) Scrappy - LOL, um, about 16? Don't judge, haha!! Before surgery I had bought 3 of these 2 packs that were on clearance for $5/pack. I totally scored. Just basic Fruit of the Loom front closure in black and white. I tend to wear a lot of nude bras, so I found that same sports bra in nude, but they weren't on clearance and came individually - I got 3 of those. Then Walmart had these cute sports bras in fun colors and were only $3.96 each, so I got 3 or 4 of those. Then 2 from the VS sale. And then Fruit of Loom has 3 packs in black, nude & white of a similar sports bra as the others, but there's no closure just slip over head and the straps are thinner for when I'm wearing something that needs the smaller straps. Yes, I have issues! LOL
(Don't get me started on how many bathing suits I've bought - very similar to my bra issues! hee hee)
Cheers to not being flat chested!! :) The other day I was laying out in the backyard next to hubby and I was like "Look, when I lay down, my boobs don't disappear!" LOL So exciting!! :)

16???? GIIRL! LOL!
And bathing suits? I havent even bought ONE! I need to though. I have weight issues so havent been too excited about it. I'm working on it though.
Nude is my favorite color bra too! =) My hubby finds my bra color choices quite boring. Black, white and nude. Panties too. But then everything always matches!
But really- its good that you are having fun buying new bras, Life is too short!
Yeah, its nice our boobs dont disappear when we lay down. I was noticing today the boobie bubble above my new VS bra. Not used to that! Not too shabby! =)

Hahahaha! I know! At least I can admit I have issues! LOL :)
I always LOVE the fun colored bras, but I find I rarely wear them. I'm not a let my bra show through my shirts type of girl, so that's where the nude & black come in. But I go to town with the panties since those never show! lol

Day 11 - Had another Dr appt to have stitches removed (he thought it was too soon to remove at post op last Thursday). I was a bit freaked out. Turns out there were only 2 reinforcement stitches on the top of my nipple on my right breast - the one that had the mini lift. The rest are dissovlable. I'm not gonna lie, it stung a bit as he pulled them through. But I survived. I had steri-tape surrounding my incisions on both breasts. He removed them and put on new ones. Said to leave them on. If they fall off I can buy pore-strips (I assume Transpore Medical Tape) and just use those as they are pretty much the same thing.
I asked about going in the pool, he said I'm fine to go just no doing laps or major swimming. He would prefer me to still avoid excedrin/asprin for now. I can start doing lower body exercises next week (which will be week 3), and back to full body exercise the week after. He wants to see me again at 4 weeks/30 days post-op. Told me to do massages. And that was pretty much it.
I'm posting 3 more pics today. One in the blue bikini I wore when trying on sizers so you can see how they actually look, and 2 with the white tank top over. :)

Yeah, I felt the same way "Like damn!!! I just spent ALOT of money here and now he is acting aloof??" However, he was very kind and professional after that initial post op visit. Hope your PS will be more considerate next time too...take care:-)

Hey OC,
I just saw in another post of yours that your doc put you on Singulair. Did he say why he did that?

No, he just started me on it right away after surgery. I've read a lot of PS's do that just to help with the prevention of it. But I don't know, seems there's so many opinions on CC. Some PS's think that even the massages don't prevent it. And if you get it, you just get it no matter what you've done to prevent it. But I suppose I'd rather try with the Singulair than not, in case there's some validity to it. :)

June 25, 2012
Interesting, this is the first I've heard of a PS doing it for preventative. Or maybe someone else said and I didnt quite understand what was going on. =)
Ok, good- I was worried for you for a minute there!
I have heard of all those conflicting ideas regarding CC. I wonder if massage would not prevent it, if it is done "correctly" where scar tissue is being separated and/or broken down as I think some of the massage techniques they prescribe aren't worth a damn. But I am not a doc who sees that on a daily basis- so I realize that I know nothing and can only speculate. =)

Yeah, who's to say which peeps do the massaging right as well. Who knows. lol Paleo Girl got a prescription for Singulair as well (that's where you read that I had it too, right?). I wonder if it's for the same reason?

Pics are looking good!
So how do you think they look compared to the sizers pics previously taken?
Bigger, smaller, or same?

Hi Scrappy! Ok, I'm posting 2 pics with side by side comparisons so it's easier to see. I do think they are smaller than the sizers appeared. Probably, like the girl in the office told me, like 10% smaller? It's hard to say cuz obviously the shape is different once they are in. But I'd say the overall look is smaller. I feel I'm probably closer to how the smaller sizers looked on me. Which makes me happy! :)

June 26, 2012
I am so jealous! your boobies look really good in all those tops! I cannot get cleavage for nothing! Maybe once i lose weight. I'm holding hope on that one! =)
Thanks for posting the pics side by side, I think i agree. They look smaller than sizers on you too. I wanted to get your perspective also, as i didnt know if mine were that way b/c of the shape of my boobs or some other variable.

Thank you! But I'm not understanding how you don't have cleavage? lol You look like you have some to me (and you look GREAT)?? It's funny cuz I think I have a bit too much of a space between my boobies and wish they were a little bit closer. Maybe once they soften up I'll be able to push them together more, or maybe they rest a little closer together.
S
June 27, 2012
haha, I know! It seems silly but I cant get them to push together or up much with a bra!!
But thanks for the compliments- I truly am grateful how much better they look. I just thought I should finally be able to get cleavage as a size full C or D. =)
I am hoping that if I can lose some weight soon that they might look better once I am skinner. I think I have boobie greed. LOL!
But sounds like you feel the same way about yours? I think yours look sooo good!

Yeah, I can't push mine together right now! They're too stiff and it hurts when I try! lol I'm shocked a bra won't do the trick for you though! I can't wait to wear a normal, pretty bra again!! I'm kind of a bra wh*re, lol! I love my VS bras! When I find one I like I buy it in nude, black and one or two fun colors. The process of losing weight and going down in sizes from a 36DD, I went through and gave away SO many bras (seriously, it was sick)!! But most pretty ones are padded and I don't think I'll be needing padding, haha. So I hope I can resume my bra fetish once again some day!

June 27, 2012
OMG VS bras are soo expensive! I just bought 2 bras and 2 matching panties totalling $140!!! I'd rather spend it on shoes and clothes! =)
I just took some pics of me in my new bras. I guess I have SOME cleavage, just not boobilicious cleavage- if that makes ANY sense! lol I guess I like a bubblier look.
When do you get to wear bras again?

June 27, 2012
Did you post the pics? :) Oh they are SUPER expensive! It hurt to give all them away when they no longer fit! And since I had so many they were in great condition and not tattered! And now I have yet another batch to give away since having my BA. I guess I understand the bubbly look you are desiring. I saw you mention liking starryeyed pics and she's got the full "bubbly" look. I guess I have a little of that going on, they just aren't close together. But I see what you mean.
I don't know when I can wear bras again. I'll only be 2 weeks Thurs. Doc said we'll see how it goes, so I'm hoping at my one month appt he'll give me a better idea. These sports bras are torture for me! lol However, even with those I have gone overboard with how many I've bought! haha

Haha, thats funny! How many have you bought??
I have been boobie commando so havent bought ANYTHING this whole time!
Oh well, I guess thats a fib. I bought that grey tube top and the pink Bali bra I posted in my pics. My skin was hurting me so bad I had to get something! And I needed to be able to hide the nips when i left the house.
I havent posted the pics yet. I took them but havent posted them yet.
I'll get them up tomorrow.
But yes, that bubbly look i think looks nice.
I shouldnt sound unhappy with mine, b/c they are better than before for sure!
I was just so sure that I could get cleavage by the time I could wear a bra since I am pretty well dropped and all.
Oh well! At least I dont look flat chested in anything anymore! =)
