POD 6

It’s been almost a week since surgery and I’m till pretty comfortable. Some nerve regeneration pain is starting to kick in in my incisions and nipples. I’m staggering Tylenol and Naproxen with Valium for the muscle spasms. My breast is dropping much faster than my right breast. I have to keep reminding myself that I’m still only 6 days out from surgery and i still have soooo much more time to go before I’m healed and everything has settled into place. I haven’t started massages yet. My 9 day post-op appointment is this week, so I’m going to ask my PS what he thinks about the asymmetrical dropping. Bruising is kicking in and starting to drain south. The swelling is starting to subside, too. I feel so bloated and uncomfortable, even with taking the Miralax once to twice daily. I’ve started taking fiber pills to see if that helps things along, but I’m done with my Oxycodone, too, so that will also help. Looking forward to that right breast dropping and also not having to wake up 2-3 times a night for medications.

POD 3

It doesn’t even feel like I had surgery, I have such minimal discomfort. I’m taking it easy, not using my arms a whole lot for anything. I have Frankenboobs, which was to be expected. My left breast is dropping faster than my right. The bruises are starting to develop. But all of this is normal. I’m not worried. It’s a waiting game now. Patience is a virtue!

POD2

Post-op day 2 and still feeling pretty comfortable. I have next to no pain, likely due to how I’ve staggered my pain meds. But my sleep patterns are all thrown off due to having to wake up consistently throughout the night to medicate.
I had my post-op appointment with Dr. Castiglione today. My boobs looked like Frankenboobs when the bandages were taken off, but I expected that. My left breast is dropping faster than my right, too. I still think they look kind of big on my body, but that’s a good thing because it means they’ll be the perfect size when they’re healed and the swelling is down. I purchased an RxBra that i saw on Instagram and Dr. C really liked it). It’s super comfortable and I highly recommend (pic included)! It’s a little on the expensive side at around $79, but i found it to be worth the money.
Dr. C instructed more rest on the couch, telling me i need to take it easy, in spite of how good and painless i feel. And now I’m free to shower! I have another follow up appointment in a week, so more pics to come then!
