Hey y'alllll
Hey ladies! So I know it's been awhile but I stopped taking pictures and updating because it was discouraging to see no change. BUT I woke up one morning a couple of weeks ago and finally saw change!!! I was too excited!! I'm officially 8 wks post-op and so in love and just to think they are not done healing yet!! This journey has been absolutely amazing and I don't regret my decision one bit. I feel like the size is perfect for my body!!
I've resumed all normal activities, starting back running last week. Wore two sports bras and they felt fine! They still don't 100% feel a part of my body, but about 75%. I sleep on my stomach and sides. Had another recheck yesterday and my PS is satisfied with the results. Said they still don't look as natural as they will (I completely agree) but he was extremely happy with the progress! My incisions are small and look great!!
This journey and healing process has been nothing short of phenomenal!!!

And...
I've pretty much gained all the weight back that I lost prior to my surgery. I'm not upset about it because I know I can lose it again. I have been eating kind of crappy since my surgery because my husband wanted to eat at all the places he won't be getting for six months. Lol! Soooo I had to be supportive! :-D
I will start my nutritional cleaning program again on Monday so I'll get back down again and once I'm cleared to work out again, the weight will come off quickly!! Normally lose about 15-20 lbs when my man is gone.

Your side view.....the change is WOW. I see a huge difference! Only been about 3 weeks.....6 months is what you're striving for ! Looking good!
Thanks Michele50! Some days I see a huge difference, just didn't see much in a side by side picture. Happy to know you can see it!!! I can't wait for these next 6 months to pass for more reasons than one!!!
Look at your nipple placement and the rounding at the bottom!
Oh yes!!!! I see it now!!! Thanks for pointing out the difference!!! Woohoo!!! Now that you mention that my hubby did say that he thought the bottom area was feeling a little fuller than before.
:)
You look great and yes I do see a difference. It's only been 3 weeks. Just wait till the next 3 weeks, you will really see them taking shape. You look fab for 3 weeks though.
Thanks Red!!! I feel really good!! I know they are going to get better as the days, weeks and months pass by!! Enjoying the journey so far!
Looking good! I do see a difference, not drastic, but you are making progress! I love your attitude toward the weight loss\gain. It's great that you aren't stressing out over it right now, your body needs time to relax and heal and stressing about stuff definitely doesn't help!
Thanks!! I'm excited for the day I wake up and am like "Wow!" as far as being able to tell the difference. You know I've never really beat myself up about my weight because when I gain it's because I decided to enjoy junk food and eating out a lot but I can lose it when I want to. I know what I need to do, so it's up to me to do it! I wanted to indulge in all my favs for awhile and had a good reason too! Lol!! I'll just blame it on my husband! Lol!
You'll be seeing big changes soon :). I noticed the most changes between 3 and 6 weeks. That's awesome that you take responsibility for your eating habits.. I have friends who gain weight and complain about it but somehow cant accept that its a result of the junk they are eating! And must be so nice to know you can lose when you want to. I have a really hard time losing once I get to a certain point, very frustrating!
Lol! Yes everything we do in life is a choice!! Sometimes I choose to embrace my inner fat girl! Lol!!! I use the same routine to lose weight. So a nutritional cleanse for 30 days to get about 10 lbs and 15-20 inches off and then just work out 4 times a week.
I've gained back weight since my BA too! Still trying to lose it. What does your nutritional cleaning program consist of?
2 shakes a day and one meal (either lunch or dinner) that is 400-600 calories. Light snack for mid-morning and afternoon. Nothing but water, about half my body weight, daily. If you want more info, I can send you a PM.
I am 4 weeks out also from a BA. I had 495cc high profile silicone put under the muscle. My breasts look a lot like yours. Did your PS have you massage at all? I am so ready for mine to drop and look normal!
Yes I have to massage from the top and the bottom for times a day. It's a process and it will take time. My PS already told me they can look like this for up to 3 months.
I am an impatient person!! I want results now! :) I was never instructed in massage. I was told to make sure the breast was pulled up in my bra and all would be good. Have you noticed if the massaging has helped?
Not really but I had my 4 wk follow up today and my PS seems pleased with the progression. Said I should see a bigger change in the upcoming two weeks. Fingers crossed!!
**crossed** ;) as long as you keep yours crossed for me. I go back August 4th ;)
I sure will!!!! Good luck at your next appt.
The twins look so pretty! Sucks you have to massage, but once they drop and fluff they are going to look so pretty! I think they will look like your wish pics! How exciting for you!
Thank you very much!!!
