Week 4 Post Op
(Posting this 3 weeks late… oops) 4 weeks post today! I am finally beginning to feel slightly back to my old self. My appetite returned late last week, which has been a relief. I’m sleeping a lot better - the first 3 weeks I was getting 4-6 hours of very broken sleep, which was affecting me mentally and physically. My energy levels are definitely improving - 2 Wednesdays ago I barely moved from bed all day, but now I’m getting up close to my usual wake up time and going through my morning routine of coffee/feed the dog/start work. I am still getting really tired in the afternoon/evening some days. I’m trying to not get worried about this! I do have iron deficiency which causes me to be fatigued at the best of times, so I’m thinking my healing process has been impacted by this. My mental health is improving too - the first week or two I was a depression mess, and then I was in anxiety overdrive. The anxiety is lingering, but has been slowly dissipating over the last 4-5 days. Just keeping as positive as possible and looking forward to the near future when this is all a distant memory.
On to my actual boobs! The left one has dropped heaps, and it’s softened a bit. I’ve barely got any discomfort in it. The right (being my dominant side) is a bit higher and tighter/uncomfortable, I think due to me using those muscles more. Again, trying not to get anxious about possible capsular contracture, considering I’m only 4 weeks out, but it’s hard to stop my brain going there.

2 Weeks Post
Here are some pictures from the 14 day mark. They’re feeling less tight and uncomfortable, I definitely have a lot more strength back.
I’m still feeling low on energy, which is making me anxious. I know recovery takes time, but I’m scared as to why I’m still not feeling this way. I have health anxiety, and have been to see my GP about a plan to manage this.

Day 5 Pictures
Here are a couple of pictures as of day 5. Of course, sitting super high and looking a bit silly, but I have noticed that the swelling has already subsided slightly from the day of.
