45 Yr Old-350cc Silicone Explant/Full Lift-Southwest Forida

Tomorrow will be 4 weeks since explant. Pretty much back to life but still taking it easy. I've had two bad days, this past Saturday and a week ago Sunday where I was in pain all day from overdoing it. It felt like I had pulled or popped a stitch? I just tried to rest and let it pass. Still not able to sleep on my side because my boobies pull too much despite wearing a sports bra. Did I mention I hate sleeping in my back? I feel like a darn vampire laying in a coffin.

Otherwise healing is going nicely. Right is healing a little cleaner than Left. Looks like the incision and stitch weren't quite as clean under the nipple and it looks like the scar will be a little thicker. But I can live with that. Why? Because I feel SO MUCH BETTER!

I went to a movie with friends this past Friday. I wore a tight fitting sweater. I haven't worn a sweater in years because sweaters made me "looka like a [RS bleep] star."

It's a pleasure to get dressed and not feel self conscious. My [RS bleep] are now perfect for my frame.

Regular bras aren't comfortable yet so I'm still in a sports bra. And I'm still not quite ready to exercise. I still have some healing to do.

I AM HAPPY!

Yay! I no longer have two cow udders hanging from my chest.

Stitches removed yesterday and replaced with some steri strips. Most of bruising is gone now and I'm pretty much out of the house of pain.

I'm 5 pounds lighter. I'm carrying myself completely different and haven't had any neck or back pain. The difference is just amazing.

And I look so much better in my clothes. I FEEL better in my clothes. It's so nice to put on a shirt and not have those giant fake breasts trying to burst through my chest cavity like the creature from Aliens.

Looks like I'm going to end up a solid c cup. The girlies are still a little swollen and I certainly won't mind if they shrink a bit more.

I just feel so much better both physically and emotionally and I couldn't be happier!

Tonight we had our closest friends over for the Super Bowl and also my 46th birthday. Did I mention I hate football? I get screwed every 4 years or so and get upstaged by a football game on my birthday. But anyway, my girlfriends practically dragged me into the bathroom and ripped my clothes off to see my new boobies. They oohed and aahed over them. We were like giddy school girls! My one friend gave me a tiny training bra from target as a gag gift for the "new me."
