I've Waited 17 Years for This

I took these yesterday on my 7 week PO day, always a Tuesday. Just got busy and couldn't get to posting. I'm sure you've noticed that I've been meticulous about posting in the same spot, in the same positions, and at the same time of day. When I was researching pre op, I wanted to see details like this, so hopefully it's helpful to someone out there.
All is well. I was pretty puffy here, but not too bad. I'm not panicked about the puff coming and going like I was in the beginning. I'm a little more puffed right now, today - it's 1pm and I FINALLY kicked up some cardio last night. I did a short spin class for myself in a heated room on one high gear non stop. I'm sure it was too much, but I miss cardio. I kept it short and the puff today isn't awful. I'm chugging water and taking it easy today.
I've been having a tiny issue with the BA. The skin underneath is SUPER tight, like you can see the skin pulled taught if I put my arms up and it LOOKS like it's pulling. I researched it and all I can come up with is Mondor Chords? It is painful, but I see my surgeon Friday so I'm not worried.
Everything else is fantastic. I'm wanting to get some core work in, but I am waiting for my appointment Friday to talk - 8 weeks is Tuesday so maybe?
My scars are smooth, well the BA scars are bumpy lumpy. I massage the Palmers Oil I've been using in the morning and at night. I officially stopped with the compression garment to see how everything goes without it. I still won't lay in my stomach, too weird.
I am easing back into heated yoga. Stretching my legs/hips mostly now that raising my arms seems to hurt so bad.
I am hoping to start jogging soon, but right now I'm really digging the spin class.
I do feel super tight in my middle, but I supposed that's to be expected - that's what I wanted right!? It's pretty pronounced after sitting for a long while or upon waking. I am very aware of my posture and do my absolute best to be upright, shoulders back, and tail untucked.

Whoa, 6 weeks! So all of the swelling was due to my being on my feel nonstop. I was up at 5am and has a big party I was hosting. Tons of cleaning and prepping and before I knew it, it was 1am and guests were leaving. Since I wasn't terribly swollen the next day, I thought that was that. Apparently it took a couple of days to really get me. The Dr's office said to put the binder back on snug, chug water/electrolytes, and get of my feet! They know it's hard for me to sit still. They wanted me to call back the next day. It was significantly better the following day and just about back to normal the next.
So that's the key to my swelling. If it pops up awful, that is the route I take - water and sit.
The pics taken this morning show pretty flat front. That was 5am this morning and it's 3:15pm and my lower belly is pretty round. It's ok though, I know it'll go away.
I went without any compression (aside from high waisted yoga pants) all day yesterday while driving and shopping. I did pretty well. I went on a 3.5 hour driving trip out of town with my husband for memorial day weekend with friends. It consisted of alcohol, food, and kayaking! I wanted to hike terribly, but I knew it would be a bad idea. I only kayaked lightly. Alcohol was in moderation and I pretty much carried a gallon jug of water around with me (with electolytes) and refilled as needed. I think finally getting through my period helped with the swelling significantly.
I'm still hanging on before I get serious into my work out - because my work outs are pretty serious. I need to make certain I am 100% healed in there.
I think I can go ahead and clean my bathroom mirror though - heh - sorry that laziness shines through in my pics!
My incisions are looking good. Thin maroon lines still! No complications to speak of aside from the insane swelling I can get so easily. I'm looking forward to not wearing any compression at all anymore!

My incisions look fabulous. My sides are so even and smooth. The incision is just a thin maroon line that runs hip to hip. No complications with the healing there at all. My breast incisions are a little lumpy, but from what I read - that's normal. They are still sore, which is probably due to my period. My belly button looks nice also.
