I made it to the Flat Side 3/20/14!!

It's been almost 6 months since my surgery, and I couldn't be happier. I still want to drop about 15 more lbs, but I'm not stressing on it. I'm thoroughly enjoying my new body, and wore a bikini for the first time in 20 years a few weeks ago. It felt so liberating to be able to walk on the beach and not be self conscious. I actually felt sexy and confident, which was awesome. I enjoy getting dressed everyday because everything fits. No more muffin top!!! In fact, I need to go shopping because all of my clothes are big, but I want to wait until I lose the last of my weight before doing so. My bra size is a full D, but I actually think I could have gone bigger. My breasts look totally natural, which is great. I wasn't going for the [RS bleep] star look. Since I had a lot of breast tissue, my implants were small and placed under the muscle. Therefore, if you feel my breasts they feel soft and real. I love that the bounce when I walk vs being stiff and "balloon like". My doctor did a phenomenal job, and I'm happier than I've ever been!!!

I forgot to mention in my post that I have lost 10 lbs since my surgery YAY! I want to lose another 20 and will continue to post updates with my progress :)

Hello all. It has been quite some time since I posted an update. I had my 5 month post-op appointment today and things are going great. I feel great, and am thrilled with the results. My breasts look completely natural and "move" like they are all mine lol. It was important to me to have natural looking results. I love that I don't HAVE to wear a bra, but I still do most of the time for support. My doctor explained that breasts can still get saggy after a lift and implants. I am now a full D cup, which is exactly what I wanted. I get pain in my left breast every once in a while, but my PS said it's normal and likely just muscle spasms. I still don't have feeling in my nipples which is concerning, but I am told that it could take up to a year to get the sensation back.

My tummy tuck looks great and my stomach is completely flat. I actually have some definition in my abdominal area, and I have not been back to the gym yet. I was given the all clear to work out, but I've just been letting my body heal. I've decided to kick start my gym routine in October which will be 6 months post op. My body has been through a lot so I'm in no rush to push it. I absolutely love the way my clothes look. I can wear a tight dress, tuck in shirts, and even wear a bikini without feeling at all self conscious. It's definitely been liberating and my confidence has been boosted tremendously. I wish I had done this sooner, especially since my "baby" is 14. I posted some pictures taken this weekend :) I hope everyone is healing well!
