I got my stitches removed today!

WORTH IT$12,800
It was a little uncomfortable but definitely not too bad, just in case it was painful I took a pain pill an hour before my appointment which was a good decision!
The office workers and doctor always remember who I am when I come in, and can I just say I LOVE that! They’re so sweet and friendly and efficient and perform good work!
My doctor said in two to three more weeks I should be fine to exercise again, so yay! And now that the stitches are removed I can start moisturizing my breasts!
My next appointment is in about 5 to 6 weeks since things are healing up so well, but he did say if I need an appointment sooner than that I can definitely come in at no extra cost.
Well that’s about it for now!

I got my drains removed!!

Omg people on YouTube always said it didn’t hurt and was just kinda uncomfortable.. BUT IT HURT lol thank goodness removing the drains is so quick. And it anticipated it being painful so I took a Percocet about an hour before my appointment.. so the pain was at least toned down. I don’t even wanna think about how painful it would’ve been without it.
A few minutes after getting them removed I felt 10x better! I honestly felt like I was weeks post op instead of only 6 days post op haha.
My boyfriend took me to target afterward because I wanted to try on some bras because the sports bras I bought beforehand are a little loose now yay! It’s a D bra, so I tried on a size C and it fit perfectly!! Omg!
My doctor promised me he would do his BEST to get me to my goal size and he did it!!! HE IS SO AMAZING :’) he brought me down 7 cup sizes he’s a miracle worker.

Your surgeon did a great job! Will you still have nipple sensation?
Thank you! I love them so much :'D He said that I should still have sensation and I should still be able to breast feed in the future if I wish to. I've been feeling the little "zaps" lately of feeling coming back to them so that's good news! Yay!
That's great!! I'm scheduled for dec 20. My surgeon says he can save my nipples. I'm just a bit nervous! I cannot wait to be in love w my new boobies!!! *hopefully*. Thank you for responding!
Aw yay!! Congratulations on getting your surgery date! I'm sure you're going to love them! You'll probably love them even before you can see them because you'll already feel lighter haha

3 days post op!

I was allowed to shower yesterday and I was so scared to even look at myself that I had my boyfriend unwrap me and tell me if I looked “scary” or not lol but omg 2 days post op and I already was looking great!! Dr. Lepore did such an amazing job. And it seems he got me to the size I was hoping for which is a large C/small D. My post op sports bra is a 34 D and without gauze there’s a tiny bit of room! And this is WITH swelling! I’m so excited I could cry tbh!!
Anyways today I tried to go without the strong pain pills and only take Tylenol and was super uncomfortable.. I’m only 3 days post op and have drains so maybe it was just too soon. My mom told me it’s great I’m trying to push myself but don’t overdo it since it is a major surgery. So I decided to take the Percocet for a few more days and stop them after getting drains removed on Thursday, by then I’ll be a week post op.
I’ve been eating really light.. mostly fruit, nuts, soups and popsicles. My appetite is fine but I don’t wanna overeat since I’m not moving around a lot.
I’m super constipated as well I haven’t gone #2 for 4 or 5 days.. I pooped on Wednesday, my surgery was on Thursday and now it’s Sunday.
Exlax isn’t working AT ALL. I hear milk of magnesia does the trick so I’ll be trying that next.
Does anyone have any suggestions for going to the bathroom??

If you feel uncomfortable because you need to go but just can't, get some glycerine suppositories. Glycerine is a pure type of grease. It doesn't have any chemicals in it, and will just soften up anything in there! You can get the baby size or bigger ones for adults. Hope that helps:)
Oh I've never even heard of those! Milk of magnesia worked for me on the second day of taking it but I'll keep this in mind, I'm trying to use more natural things!
Prune juice works amazing!!
Oh yeah! I didn't even of that
If you have not gone to the bathroom yet, try the suppositories and take a stool softener like Colace while you are taking the pain pills. Good luck, I know it is an awful feeling.
Yeah it really sucks! Thanks for the suggestions!
Cheap instant coffee--smooth moves every time! lol :)
Haha wow really??
No joke it's the truth, girlfriend! Stay close to the porcelain throne!! heehee!
