24 No Children Athletic - 305 ccs Sub-glandular - Colorado Springs, CO

As soon as I submitted my last update I realized that the uncomfortable bra was actually a size 30DD. So weird that Im that big. I dont think that all of my swelling has gone down. All of the bras that I have now are tight in the breast area. My ps said that I should make sure that they are tight in the crease and loose in the cups. The first bra I thought of was the "granny bra" that I used to make fun of my mom for wearing. I couldnt find my size anywhere so I just so happened to find one in walmart in a 36 C. The band doesnt fit but the cups fit perfect. It is the most comfortable bra I have so far. My boobs still hurt in the morning and its not completely comfortable to lay on my side yet. I took my strips off at exactly 3 weeks post op and they look pretty good. There is some scabbing but they are healing nicely. I am very pleased. My right breast is still lower and larger than my left but I do feel little feeling here and there where its numb. Im pretty excited about that. I went back to my second job which includes heavier lifting and it was fine except when I had to reach up and grab something heavy. There was a pain in my rib which I found weird. my ribs have been sensitive all weekend. I have never heard anyone on here mention that. Has anyone else experienced this? I am almost one month and cant wait to buy new swim tops for vacation next month!

Its been two weeks since my surgery! Time is flying but I am so impatient. I cant wait until they drop and fluff. I went to Dillard's to go shopping for a couple of new bras. Thankfully they were having a semi-annual sale. I am still not comfortable with getting sized so I went in a grabbed a 30 C and D. They both fit pretty well so I decided to get both sizes. I have still been getting morning boob so I am sure they will change again. They don't look like D's so I would be okay if they didn't tho. I went to work for the first time in a real bra and it was pretty uncomfortable. I wore the C and I felt like I was popping out of it. I think that once they drop I will fell more comfortable but until then I will stick with the D's. The bra also sits right on my incisions which isnt comfortable. I cant wait to be one month post op.

Yesterday was 10 days post op. I traveled the hour and a half to get to my ps for my appointment. When I got there the first thing I asked him was about my loss of feeling in my right breast. He checked it out and made sure that my nerves were permanently damaged. He assured me that it would just take some time. I guess I was asking too many questions because my ps and my fiancé were giving me a look and he told me to have a seat without answering my question. He took out my stitches which only hurt on one side and then showed me my incisions. They look great by the way. He then put tape on them and told me to wait a few days before taking them off for good. Surprisingly my ps told me to go out and buy wired bras. I'm pretty excited about wearing real bras but pretty nervous about how they will rub on my incisions. He said he places the tape after stitches removal for unintentional scratching. Now I know what that means. My incisions itch pretty bad so I try to rub right under instead of directly on them. Besides that nothing has changed. Just waiting for the girls to finally drop and fluff.
