2 Full Weeks Post Op!

I am more than 2 weeks post op which is great, but not without its challenges. Yesterday, I attended an annual community event and was able to wear a strapless dress (casual) with no bra and feel completely confident! I will admit it felt great! Not once did I need to adjust my dress (vs the 100s of times I might have pre BA!).
It was exceptionally HOT though and I have 1 more week of the compression garment (I have a strapless one) so I will be thrilled to burn those soon (ok, tuck in my back draw for a while).
I made the mistake of sleeping on my side the other night (partially, not even a full 90 degrees) and I have been paying for it with a swollen left breast for days! It hasn't been fun, wondering if others have this problem? I can definitely see a change already, both are softening and my right one is "righting" itself by gently dropping so progress is slow, but steady.
As an avid exercise enthusiast, I am STRUGGLING about my lack of exercise and I can see where I might go a little BSC in the next few weeks. Especially not being able to do planks, burpees (I don't actually like them but appreciate their value), and generally any kind of weight bearing workout. I am headed to the gym shortly to get on the bike and have begun doing squats and plié squats but I can see where I might tire of those soon. My PS said I can return to Cardio at 6 weeks and cannot do any workout involving the chest (hint: weights) for 6 months!!!! Is this the norm? I had thought 3-4 and was surprised to hear 6.
I will post pics soon!

Woke up feeling fairly well rested, only to realize that is what I will be doing for the next several days!
Going to stretch and do some light Pilates so I feel lithe and strong before headed to the surgery. Hard to believe this is really happening....
I will post some photos later.

How did your surgery go? I had mine on the same day as you

All in all, it went as well as expected. A few mishaps, I also had lipo and rather than have me pick up the garment prior to the surgery, they had my companion do it the day of. I woke up from surgery still awaiting the arrival of the garment, and went it did, they couldn't put it on me without me yelping in pain so they knocked me out again.
Today is my first day back to work, I find when I get stressed, my breasts get really tight! It isn't like I can gently massage them when needed....so I think I will be tired when I get home. You?

I'm 3 days post op, would love to see progress pics when you are ready. I also was going to do liposuction around my hips but decided to wait only because I may do a TT in the next yr or 2. I couldn't find what size cc you ended up with or the profile? Happy healing. First few days for me have been rough but I can feel the swelling starting to go down a bit

On my way to Miami. I have been so busy I have had no time to stress which I think might be a good thing. I will post some pre post very soon.
