Bra shopping!!!
WORTH IT$6,146
Don't worry, I know I'm only a week post-op here, buuuut I needed to buy some comfy sports bras so I had something to wear to work -- as I work in the fitness industry and live in sports bras. I deal with the public and being braless was getting old. I needed more options. So, certain store is having their "semi-annual sale" so I decided to find some sports bras that wouldn't bother my incisions. Granted I haven't tried in regular bras yet or anything sexy, but I had a blast! I was a surreal experience digging through the "large" and "D-cup" bins. Best day I've had in awhile!! Here's a snapshot of one bra I tried on -- and bought! ;)

Comparison Photo
Top: Day 1
Bottom: 1 week
I know that the lighting is different which makes the comparison a little difficult view. However, you can see that the top is not as swollen. I'm still very swore around the bottom and outsides of my breasts. I very mild bruising. I've been doing my stretches and massaging regularly. Just today, they starts feeling like they're one with me. I'm really happy with the results. I still can't believe I'm now a D-cup. So surreal!!!!

Feeling Great & Super Happy with Results!
Days 1-3
EXTREME PAIN!!! I needed my boyfriend to help me move for everything. I couldn't even change sitting position on the couch without him manipulating my body for me.
Sleep (recliner): 2-3 hours off & on throughout entire day & night
**Took shower on 3rd Day (and it was awesome!!)**
Day 4
Pain while moving, but can start to sit up on own. Core muscles are starting to come back. Overall pain has subsided greatly.
Sleep (couch): Stayed asleep for longer lengths of time, but still woke up in the middle of the night.
Day 5
Mild pain; mostly pressure. Went to work -- did not drive yet. No problems with working. Felt great to get out of the house; been stuck on the coach for what seems like forever!
Sleep (couch): Crashed when I got home -- fell asleep at 5pm and slept through the night. My body sure needed that!
Day 6
Most painful part of each day is waking up. Everything feels so tight and painful in the morning. Once I'm up and moving around, I don't feel any pain [for the most part].
*Post-op checkup* Everything looks great! The doc showed me how to massage my breasts. He said that I need to do this for 2 minutes 5x per day -- and to continue my stretches. I'll see him again in a week.
Sleep: Will continue to sleep on coach. It keeps me in the appropriate position: propped up and on my back. My breast are still quite tender. Sleeping in the bed feels uncomfortable do to the fact that I would lay completely flat and possibly end up rolling over to my side -- doesn't feel so good this point in time ((but oh how I miss it!)).
I really love how they're looking right now. The swelling has gone down significantly. I don't have any bruising. My breasts are still rather hard and high, but it's too early for D&F. I have been experiencing some "zaps" at my incision site. I'm fully aware that this is simply due to nerve regeneration. (Note: I had nerve surgery on my foot 6 months ago and still experience this type of pain.) The zaps are normal and will go away on their own time. Nothing to worry about.
Hope to get some better photos soon. Will post as more when I can. Much love.
