Day 11

So close to my 2 week, yay! Weighed in at 111lbs exact today and am happy that the eating and light workout programs have been working out pretty well :)

I have to say though, the straps that my PS gave to me to wear for 8 hours EVERY DAY until the next appointment gets my girls pretty sore and stiff once I remove the straps; but I know I need to have them for a reason so I am just gritting through and hoping my breasts will continue to drop. I’m posting some new pictures up, you’ll see a pic with me trying on the black wrap around bra I was issued post-op; and if you compare it to my first day pics, I think you can tell how much the swelling has gone down.

My boobs still fluctuate daily; especially on my activity level for that day. My energy level this morning was pretty low, I was sleepy and didn’t really pick up energy until I had an hour cat nap and woke up at 2pm. I had taken the day off work just to relax and catch up on some off work chores and homework and decided to walk and pick my son up from school. I also added a pic with me wearing an old green tank top I used to have but always wore a padded bra with it…not anymore ladies! I don’t know what it was but I just felt really great after the nap; I was thrilled seeing myself in my clothes and pretty sure was walking with my head held high and shoulders back as I went to pick my son up…lol. I had to wear a light cover over my top though since it
was windy and my nipples are SUPER sensitive.

Is anyone else having over-sensitive nipples? It gets to the point it is uncomfortable to even touch them!

Once I got home, I was in full mommy mode and cleaned the whole kitchen, bathroom and living room and folded all the laundry. I realized there I was again over doing it and my gals were the first to remind me as they began to stiffen up. So I sat myself down and relaxed with my son and watched some
cartoons with him (while I sifted through a VS magazine…whoopsie).

My husband decided to take all of us out to dinner and by the time we were seated (which didn’t take long), I began to feel sluggish and just drained. Once we were done, we headed straight back home and I laid myself down on our bed and decided to do my second coating of cocoa butter for the day. Hubby decided to walk in at that specific moment and surprised me by asking if I wanted him to rub the cocoa butter on me since I looked
exhausted.

………

Not sure what my expression was (probably looked at him as if he sprouted a second head) but since I was completely drained, and I am SURE he had an ulterior motive (lol) I allowed him to. It was just funny/strange to have him rub it on since I kept mentioning he didn’t have to be so super gentle and he kept mumbling it was just like waxing a car, you HAD to be gentle. Didn’t know I would ever find myself being compared to a car being waxed. Haha, men.

The breasts are feeling softer by the day. The tops and outer bottom sides of my breasts are feeling softer and slightly squishy and am excited as each day passes. Since our trip to Hawaii is in less than two weeks, we’re planning on doing some of the shopping tomorrow. So I will definitely be purchasing some bras; possible swimsuits as well. CAN NOT WAIT!

I honestly can not tell if I am even dropping yet; I know the swelling is going down but dropping...not sure.

*I also placed pics of my scars thus far and how they are healing*

Your incisions are healing very well! What brand of cocoa butter did you use? I'm afraid of my healing since i make bad scars i.e. my stretchmarks... i brought vit e 32000 I. U. By Jason... do you think it will help? Thanks!

Its Botanic Spa-Beauty by Nature Pure Cocoa Butter Cream..here's an Ebay link if you'd like: http://compare.ebay.com/like/140326552409?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar :) I think the vitamin E will work well, I was also told about bio-oil which you can find in walgreens. It was about 10 bucks but I'm going to try it out tomorrow. Apparently it is suppose to help flatten the scars out; we will see!

Yes, will definitely see... looking forward to more great pics!!! thanks!

It is great to read your updates! I am glad you didn't have any problem with the stitches, I am really not looking forward to that part. I have them all around my nipples. eek. I gained 8lbs since the surgery and cannot stand it. I feel so bloated and yuck. I am hoping this goes down soon. :-) Your new boobs look great on you, they are perfect for your frame!

March 15, 2013
Awww, thank you so much! I feel so very happy with them, they are not too big and not too small; just perfect for me :) When are you getting your stitches out? Don't worry about the pounds sweetie, I did and it really was (just like so many gals said here) the constipation/bloatiness/retained fluid. I hope they drop away soon for you and hope you're still recovering amazingly!

I'm impressed that your back to the gym. My dr told me that I could as long as I don't raised heart rate. What other specifications did your have regarding working out. I soooo want to go!! Btw, we had sex too. I was on top and let him touch softly. I'm sensitive too and he was scared to touch too hard so it worked out. Haha we sound a lot alike with the measuring. I'm wondering where I'll end up. The pics I posted last night were I'm stretchy bras but likely a full c.

Haha, hubbys are so cautious with foreign objects LOL! Bless their hearts. My PS did not mention anything about raising my hear rate, however, he knew how excited I was to be heading back to the gym so he was sure to give me a stern look and said "don't over do it". I'm just ensuring that I minimize the use of my arms (swinging them back and forth) and if I use the stationary bike, I don't hold on to the front bars but if you have the bikes that have the handles on the sides of you, that's where I hold on to. Haven't tried the stair stepper or treadmill but will keep everyone posted once I do try those ;) Hope sensitivity goes down, mines still a tad sensitive today but I'm sure it will be like this for quite sometime..bleh.

I just called my dr thanks to your post. He basically said the same thing. Nothing crazy, keep to low cardio and not use arms. I so going this weekend... Yay!

You're hilarious!! I was doing the same thing yesterday trying to figure out my deflate pre-op size! I would think that might be a nice C, but not sure. I think it is the difference between the two numbers. Mine didn't come out right though, so I don't know. I think Nordstrom is the bet place for a bra fitting if you are going to do that. VS sizes are so skewed.

I agree with you about VS! Prior to BA I had them measure me and one said I was a 34 B (umm..not even CLOSE) and the other had me as a 32 A which made me have folds of skin busting out the sides of the bra and back...too tight! Have never tried nordstrom so I might just go there today. Thanks for the advice!!!

I wish that I lived near the double divas show. That show cracks me up. Now that I actually have boobs I'm excited to bra shop. My boyfriend went with me last night to get bras and joked that we don't have to shop in the little kid section anymore. Lol

So I am off of work today and I have been googling...

So I am off of work today and I have been googling curious to see if I am able to check my breast size (for the moment). I know they will change as months pass but I can't help but be slightly curious (and impatient) :-P

So I measured under my bust and it was 27.5 inches
Measured around my fullest part and it was 35 inches

Is that equivalent to a 32/4 B...ish? Which if it is, totally stoked since a B (small C) was my target goal! Any help would be awesome as I continue to google away. Thankfully hubby is at work and kiddies at school; wouldn't quite know how to explain mommy sitting in front of a computer with shirt off and measuring tape wrapped around me :))

P.S. After Post Op Appt, I realized I was mistaken on which sides he placed the 325cc and 300cc; so correction...its my RIGHT that has 325cc and LEFT has 300 cc!

Hi hun! I'm doing pretty good! Glad to see you are doing well and look great! I like you freaked out when I got in the scale and it went from 112 to 117!! But just reminded myself its bloat and the fact I'm just being a bum haha. Wish I didn't have so much bruising but I'm just trying to put arnica cream and vitamin e oil. Going to start icing more today. They didn't want me to ice at first but I think I need to!!
