Sports bra with coverage
WORTH IT$5,600
I went to Victoria secret and it was super hard to find a bra that had coverage. Everything shows cleavage and i do NOT want that while at the gym. And the bras that didn't show cleavage had not support for any type of jumping. Their sports bras are a joke! I'll keep searching for coverage AND support. My incision sites are pretty sore. And my boobs were pretty sore. I forgot to take any meds today. I think my workouts are causing the minor achiness but I want my body to get used to them. And I'm noticing that I'm
Able to do more and more each day. For real, any of this is better than the pain I had while nursing the twins, and then I had thrush while nursing them. It felt like a crocodile was biting my nipples and as if my breasts were on fire for months. So painful. But the first 2 weeks post-op from the breast aug was mentally HARD!! Just like breastfeeding. Total roller coaster. And I think just knowing time will heal helped me hang on. Definitely needed a couple cry sessions to release the built up frustRation from the pain and running after my kids. I needed more help but didn't have it. All of my friends have kids and my hubby is super busy in grad school. So, yeah. Big emotional roller coaster. But now that I pushed myself out the door and into the gym, I'm feeling better. Hopefully things continue to heal and my pecs continue to get used to being stretched around the implant. It gets better and better the more consistent and steady I am with it. Things i wasn't able to do yesterday, I was able to do today. I'm probably a 34 full c or small d. Now I'm off to bed! Xo

19 day post op!
Life is good. Why?! Because I finally got back into being super physically active! I hit the gym and hit the cardio classes. I can do weighted squats, lunges, biceps, tricep kick backs and overhead extensions, deadlifts and rows, clean and presses without any limitation! It all feels normal. The exercises that feel difficult are push-ups, I can only do top halves while on my knees. Also, dips off a bench, ouch!!! Can't at all. That's about it! I tried my friends Zumba class which isn't your typical Zumba class. It's a lot of burpees, jumping, push-ups etc. It went great! The first class, I didn't lift off my toes to jump bc it hurt boobs. The next day, I wore 2 sports bras for more support and I was able to jump. Had my post-op visit and they took off the glue using alcohol. They also wanted to take pics since they look so good! My stitches will dissolve in the next 2 weeks. I'm still taking 1 Valium at night and a couple Tylenol or Advil during the day just bc I'm hitting harder workouts and to keep any pain at ease. I've gotta get my kids dressed, fed and out he door for another Zumba class and then practice some weightlifting choreography for my bodypump class next Friday! Eek!

It is good to hear that you were able to get back to the gym pretty comfortably after 20 days! I'm sure you got restless needing to lay down for days while recovering. After only 20 days they look SO good. Thanks for sharing your story!
October 2, 2015
Yes! My body and mind was always so fatigued and I knew if I just got to the gym that I could find some energy! Thank you :)

I'm amazed by your boobs and your recovery! You make me want to fly there to have mine done! Did you not have yours closed with stitches? Why did they have to remove glue?
October 2, 2015
I did have mine closed with dissolvable sutures! It should take another 1-2 weeks for them to dissolve. But my skin had healed nicely and the glue had done its' job. The glue also just made the incision site look horrible (blue) and so I think it was also just for asthetics since it wasn't needed anymore :)

OMG so happy for you getting back to the gym!! Looking amazing (as per usual!). Amazing progress at three weeks - so good to see :) xo

THANKS lady!!! Just watch.. I get hit with the capsular contraction. That's my biggest fear! I'm just praying things continue to go smoothly and I get active and back to normal. Xo
October 2, 2015
NOOOOO! Nope I'll not allow it!! That would be so unfair. I think it's everyone's biggest fear... I mean it is a truly terrifying prospect. I've been thinking this whole time that with all the issues I've had, it'd be just the icing on the cake of crap to get cap con. I'll go fully foetal-on-the-floor-for-a-week if it happens. My coping reserves are empty! I'm praying, wishing, hoping to god we all avoid it. Positive thoughts, positive thoughts... xo
October 3, 2015
Oh I'm so praying none of us get capsular contraption I am constantly wondering if I'm doing things right!!!

IKR Ollie - wouldn't wish it on anyone! There's only so much you can do and then it's fingers crossed and here's hoping. :)

Wow, thanks for posting your journey. You look amazing.
September 26, 2015
Thank you! I know that it was so helpful for me to read about others and I'm glad that I can do the same for you! Good luck!
September 27, 2015
You look amazing! I'm about the same stats as you and have had 2 consults and each PS said something different. One said mod + 350 cc silicone under, the other said 350-400cc silicone under but said def high profile. So confused!!! Your high profiles look so good, I can only hope to look that good. You don't have that "fake Boob" look at all! And you are only 12 days out!
September 28, 2015
I never asked about the profile to any of my 3 ps consults. We only discussed the CC's! Ultimately, I tried on different sizes and talked myself in or out of each size with the nurses. The ps's didn't really have anything to do with the process of picking sizes. So I'd suggest picking the most qualified surgeon with the best credentials and most experience!! He'll pick the best profile. My ps told me that I wouldn't visibly notice a big difference between 350 and 375. I wouldn't notice until about 425. So if 375 looks good then go bigger for sure!
September 27, 2015
Very nice! What bra size do you have now?
September 28, 2015
I haven't gotten sized yet, I'm wearing my friends 34dd. I'm probably a 34d. Or 32d, not sure just yet lol

That sounds like some phenomenally painful breastfeeding... ouch ouch ouch. I don't know what that feels like exactly, but by god I know precisely what you mean about the first two weeks post-op. So hard when you add your adorable little ones into the mix bc I would imagine a lot of the time there is just no other option than to run after them and do all kinds of things with your muscles.
I'm glad you are feeling a bit better having been able to get out the door and to the gym... I think it just makes such a big difference psychologically that you are better able to cope with the physical pain. Careful not to push yourself too hard though.
I have realised now that while I thought my BA hadn't brought me to tears, it actually did but indirectly. I had a couple of good cries and I thought I was crying about other things in my life - stress/pressure/study/work/family/whatever but really it was because the physical pain and not being able to do the things I usually do was just taking away my ability to cope with other normal life stressors. The whole shebang is a roller coaster start to finish no doubt.
Good on you for getting through it hon and you really look phenomenal (still! I know I've said it before but your results are amazing). :) xo
