9 weeks, 2 days
It's been a while since I've done an update. We had a very busy holiday season, but things have settled down a bit.
I was released from docs care on Jan 9th to resume normal activities but to listen to my body.
I'm not sleeping on my stomach as before but side sleeping feels great. Probably won't ever sleep on stomach again now that I'm used to sleeping other ways, as it's terrible for my back anyway.
Able to go to chiropractor and get adjustments so that's great. Also, not having to go as often because of the weight that has been removed.
I have been walking and doing light workouts at home, but I've got to get back in the gym.
Incisions look great, and are just very fine lines around areola and vertical. The anchor incision is still a bit thick and slightly "ropey", but with continued use of silicon strips seems to be softening.
Every now and again I still get pains and tightening, more so on my right side.
Also when wearing underwire, which I rarely do, I get reddish/purplish (almost looks like bruising) so I'm still in my post sx bras mostly. I also find it more comfortable to sleep in a very thin bra, as opposed to none. I think I got used to it so now it feels weird without one.
I know that it can take up to a year to have the final result

Four weeks today!
Today makes four weeks. My breast have softened quite a bit, most of the bruising is gone, my incisions look great (I think), but I'm still not symmetrical. I know that this is not my final result, because that doesn't happen until, what I've heard is; 3 months, 6 months, even a year...
However, if they stay like this, I'm still happy. They are WAAAYYYY much better than before.
Anyway, I'm still trucking along. Using my scar strips pretty regularly and wearing my big, tight, ugly bras.
Hope all of you are doing great, and Happy Holidays to you all!!!

Three weeks post op
I'm still hanging in there. Three weeks postop and I guess I'm doing OK; I just wish the swelling would go down and these hard spots around the incisions would settle down and soften some. My nipples and areola's are still extremely sensitive, and I still ,just every now and again, have really sharp shooting pain's in my breasts.
I feel like I look OK on the outside as far as my incisions, I feel like they're healing really well; but I guess I'm more concerned about what may be going on in the inside.
Like, why all the swelling and pains and tightening?
I'm taking it easy, definitely trying to not lift anything more than 5 pounds. I do have a four-year-old that I get up every morning for pre-K and I do make her lunch and pack her backpack, but it's not very heavy.
