SLEEPING: I'm sleeping so much better these days. I usually sleep on my stomach but I've learned to sleep on my side. I do tend to automatically turn over to my stomach in my sleep and eake myself with a sudden "ouch!"
MASSAGING & MORNING BOOB: I still wake up every morning with soreness. BUT!...I started massaging every night while lying down while reading or watching TV (thank you me.me for the suggestion!). I've noticed that the more I massage at night, the less morning boob soreness in the morning. I also learned from freyja_619 to massage "vigorously". It felt weird at first, but when I do massage more firmer than I had been doing, I have less tightness throughout the day...I still have dreams about twice a week, that my milk is letting down like when I was breastfeeding my children. I keep waking up thinking I'm pregnant. Lol! It's really weird when that happens because I keep waking up and the first thing on my mind is, "gotta get the baby from the crib." Phew! I love my children to pieces but I'm glad to be past that season in my life.
EXERCISING: I've been walking a lot--about 4 das pet week. I've actually lost about 3 pounds since my ba. Part of the reason why, I think, is because I'm unable to weight train so I'm losing some muscle :( But since last week, I've had some excellent leg/glute workouts. I've just had to find exercises where I could isolate my lower body without engaging my chest muscles. I'm okay with modifying my workouts because I am loving my new boobs!
CONFIDENCE: I feel so much more confident in the gym, in the store and at home! I feel like myself again. I haven't had myself measured for new bras because I still have more dropping and fluffing to do. Plus, I still fit into all of my old sports bras and blouses. However, I've had to ditch the padding in all of them! Yay!..That's pretty much everything so far. I haven't run into my buddies at the gym. But I'm feeling less and less awkward when people notice them. I think it's because they now feel more and more part of me. I don't even think about them as much unless it's time to shower and I look at myself in the mirror. Or when I grab my youngest by the arm when crossing street and I feel a little pang here and there.
NEXT DOC VISIT: I'm scheduled for my one month follow up next week. I'm excited about it. I hope they're dropping as expected because I do fear that [RS bleep] looking strap some of us have had to wear! Lol! Sorry but it looks like a torture device to me. I was given the option to not have to use it but I'm afraid that if I haven't dropped as expected, I just might need to wear the dreaded strap! Keep me your prayers! I'll update again after my ps visit. Xoxo
Loving Tshirts again
Week 3 (Bobbiversary)
Although my boobs are still riding high, they are much softer. I massage them every night for about 10 mins and throughout the day when I remember (usually when I'm going pee).
There are still lots of things that I can't do without pain: opening pill bottles or any bottles for that matter, closing the drivers seat door of my mommy van, reaching up high to bring something down from a high shelf and pushing elevator buttons, reaching over to my side table lamp to turn off or on my lamp. And my number one ouchie today was using the garlic presser when I was adding fresh garlic to my chicken in the crockpot meal!
Nonetheless, here are my images for my 3 week old boobies. I'd better wrap this up before I fall asleep. Here's to hoping and praying for fluffing and dropping! ????
Provider Review
I was looking for a doctor who would educate me on the process and help me make the right selection. I had lots of questions and lots of learning to do. During the free consultation, Dr Rhee exceeded my expectations. He answered all of my questions before I asked them. He was extremely thorough and he even asked me a lot of questions in an effort to get to know me (my lifestyle) and what I wanted. He explained the process and the recovery in layman's terms for me. He let me see and feel and try on different implants. He never rushed me. He made me feel like I was his most important patient. He measured me and explained my bwd and took notes about my background and history. He really got to know me. This was especially evident when at my postop appointment, my dear husband joined me and wanted me to choose a much bigger size than I had wanted. Lol! Dr. Rhee knew that that was not the look I was going for and he gently explained to my husband why that particular larger size was not a good fit for "me". There are many well-qualified surgeons in Colorado Springs but, at the end, I chose Dr. Rhee because he was thorough, had an excellent bedside manner and he is passionate about his work and the quality of his work. I felt very confident in his care. His staff, too, were very kind to me and my children who were present at my preop (in the waiting room). I also appreciated that the ladies in the office were open about sharing their own personal experience with their ba with me. I am very satisfied with Dr. Rhee and his staff and my new breasts! He gave me what I asked for and I am very happy with my results.
