I think the numbness wore off....8dpo
casper36August 25, 2016
I felt absolutely fabulous - no real pain, but super-tight. I got to 6dpo and not so tight... now tender overall, especially along the incisions. Driving is kind of uncomfortable. I drive 2 miles to a train to take to work or I think I'd be staying home longer.
I am normally a terrible snacker. This whole thing seems to be suppressing my appetite. I got to 5:30, at the grocery store when I realized I hadn't eaten since breakfast. My blood sugar crashed and I was miserable for hours. Oops.
I worked from home M-W and am back in the office today. I have a very undemanding job and a very understanding boss. I worked with similar or greater levels of back/neck pain for years, so I can certainly do my job.
I have got to get out of the house. I spent 3 hours sorting fabric scraps last night.
Getting dressed for the office is very different. I am close to my all time highest weight and everything I put in seems to have a great big arrow at my stomach. I'm not discouraged. I was warned and I can lose weight.
It's kind of funny because people keep telling me "you must be dying to go shopping." Aside from being kind of broke, I really don't want to spend money to dress my current body. Talk to me in a couple of months.
I took a walk through my (extensive)!garden and winced last night - 80 degrees plus of rain equals tons of weeds that DH will not get to. Laundry and cooking yes, weeding, no.
I have been home too long - I'm ready to strangle DH when I have to ask "would you please move this thing from point A to point B" for the third time.

Do you have any recent pictures now that you've healed? I'm shooting for a B. Seems like everyone has C/D's on here!

Thanks, that's helpful! I'm a little bigger than a 38 DDD and want to end up a B or worse case a small C. You're size now looks really good! Hope you recovery goes well!

And I look like someone beat me up. The purplish shadow on the right side is from the light, not an actual bruise.

You are actually looking pretty good! I am fair skinned too, so my bruising was more pronounced as well. Great size!!

I kind of did overdo on the teaching and the swelling increased especially under my armpits. No bleeding or drainage. The extr swelling is mostly gone, but the right one still feels especially right.

Seriously LOVE the new size! I often see reviews where I still think they are too big, but I also understand that's a very personal choice. Good for you on the insurance win too! Hope the healing goes well. You have a very good attitude. I haven't done the consult yet, but stories like yours give me courage. Happy healing!
