I don’t know if I e been completely over doing it or if something is wrong but I’m having a lot of intense pain especially on the right side. So much so that I was in tears last night. Tylenol doesn’t seem to help in the slightest. Also, my lest breast is significantly smaller than the rift. I noticed this right away but tried not to worry too much since it’s so early. I emailed my nurse and she said it’s likely just the healing process so I’m trying not to worry too much but it is very noticeable. I’m trying to do absolutely nothing the next few days in hopes of getting this pain under control. I have an appointment next Tuesday for follow up.

I had my first post op appointment yesterday. All is well. I can start massaging now and will continue to wear the band 24/7! Next week I can start working out again with restrictions. All is well. I still have pain and discomfort but it’s manageable.

The last few days I’ve had a lot of ups and downs. The hardest part for me is it being able to do simple things like grab a bowl off a high shelf in the kitchen or bring in groceries from the car. Sometimes my pain is barely there and others it is hard to control. I went for a pedicure yesterday which was my first trip out of the house, by the time I got home my pain was 8/10 and I was exhausted. It seems I get easily fatigued but I’m sure that’s normal. I still take my muscles relaxers and Tylenol quite regularly but try not to use the pain meds unless absolutely necessary. I am happy with my results thus far and know they will only continue to improve it’s time.
