Hey there! So today was a pretty great day physically. I am limiting my meds...tomorrow I think I will only need Tylenol. In my opinion everyone is different so my advice is: if you need to take a pain pill then take it. That's what they are there for. Today I feel a lot more mobile...however I'm trying not to be overzealous. I was able to go walk to the store, shower, change clothes, and just do normal little things without any pain at all! Morning boob is still a thing...yes that is real. Hahha. But I'm feeling more comfortable. I must mention I slept a lot today...but it was a good sleep. The kind of sleep where you know your body is just telling you to rest and it's gonna do some healing work for you. Still feel so fat and bloated due to the overall swelling so that is the one uncomfortable side effect...even more mentally than physically. But I know it is slowly lessening. I am 100% realizing the importance of drinking lots of water...it helps flush all the meds out and relieves swelling. Boobies are still so hard but I am making it a point to continue massaging them. I can't wait till they drop even just a little bit hahah! It really is exciting going through this journey and anticipating small changes every day. I do have a rash under my arms from the band ..and it's not unbearable but it's a little irritated. I don't have my first post op visit for one week...I can't wait because I'm sure I'm gonna be so psyched to get the dressing off. Anyways ...here are the updated pics...please excuse the excess bloat :(

Hellooo. Well it's Sunday night now, got the procedure on Friday morning. Today was probably the toughest day so far. It's not like I'm in a lot of pain...in fact I think my pain and nausea levels have been much better compared to other people...I actually had no nausea whatsoever. It's just that today I've just been extremely sore and uncomfortable in everything I do. I know it's all part of the healing process but my boobs are rock hard and the square boob thing is so real. I tried to do a little massage today with my boyfriend but it's so tender I don't think it's a good idea for me to start it just yet...I feel like I would be hurting myself. Tomorrow I am going to call the dr. Office and ask the, that and also see if it's ok to take the bra off for like half an hour. It is so tight because of the swelling. Which brings me to my next point...thenswelling of my entire body sucks so bad. Believe me I'm not complaining I'm just telling you how it is! My pajama pants are tight...I must be 15-20 pounds heavier right now. All I keep reminding myself is that this is part of the healing process and temporary. Today was also the first day my boyfriend left to work for a night shift which was fine but 3 days inside...cabin fever can get real. He took off the weekend and tomorrow (with the exception of tonight) so tomorrow I think we are going to get out of the house and take a walk...get some fresh air for me and get some blood flowing. I know I've definitely just needed rest these first three days but I really hope I turn a corner here soon. I'd also like to get off pain meds completely...hopefully tomorrow I can limit them and then from there on only Tylenol but I have definitely needed them to combat soreness which I know is adding to constipation and fatigue. But on a happy note...it is kind of fun going thru this process knowing that it's just gonna keep getting better and better. Keeping the eye on the prize! My boyfriend is so cute writing down all the scheduled pill times for me and taking care of me so much. He just got home from work and just left because I told him I was really craving some fresh fruit so he went to get me grapes , oranges and pistachios! (My fav snack). No one in my outside world knows except him and my best friend. My family lives out east and they don't even know. Last year I told my mom I wanted it and she was totally supportive of it. By the way I'm 30 years old...this time around I just wanted to do something for myself and not have any outside influences. Sometimes boundaries just need to be set. It's my body and this is what I wanted. But now that I have done it I am feeling more comfortable sharing that I did it with people. I'd really just like to get past the initial square boob phase first. Wow ok this has become a really long post sorry Hahhaa. Here are some pics from today although nothing's changed too much yet.
