Almost a month!

Hi ladies! So on thursday I will be a month post-op - I can't believe how fast the time has gone! I'm a little stressed today though - I am supposed to have my post-op appointment with my surgeon tomorrow (it's about an hour drive from here) and they are calling for a massive snow storm overnight/during the day tomorrow. I called the PS's office yesterday to ask if they would be closing if the storm was bad/if I could reschedule for next week and they told me that they wouldn't be closing and that the soonest they could get me in otherwise would be April 16th ... I don't want to wait that long! Tons of things are being canceled already as the forecast has gotten worse so they may change their mind ... But even then I don't want to wait until April to know if things are looking normal! I also want to be able to ask my PS if I can start doing arm exercises, if I'm still supposed to be wearing a sports bra 24/7, if I can be sleeping on my sides, if he wants me to be doing any massaging etc ... Ugh. I am feeling really good but I don't want to push it and I want to know if they are where they should be at this point in healing! Worse comes to worse I will cancel my appointment in the morning if the conditions are too bad and see if he will answer some of my questions by email or by phone. I don't know if they usually do this but hopefully under the circumstances they'd consider it!
My left boob is still a little higher (I am left handed) but I think that is pretty normal. They are definitely starting to soften up, especially on the top. Nipples are still sensitive but not as bad as they were before (I can shower without having to cover them from the spray hahaha). I know every PS is different but if anyone wants to share what they were okayed for a the 4 week/1 month point I'd really appreciate it :)

Gym and some new bras!

Hi everyone! So I started back at the gym at post op day 15 and it feels great! I was very careful though and have been sticking to incline walking, stair climbing machine (at a reasonable pace) and the stationary bike along with some leg and ab exercises. I'm trying to go every second day so that I don't overdo it or try to do upper body exercises while my legs are still sore - I can't wait until I can get back to a full routine! I have a follow-up with my PS on the 26th so I will wait to check in with him before I do any of that.
Otherwise things have been good - I have been liking my shape more and more as they slowly drop! I got a couple new seamless bras that I can wear from Winners and Forever21 and it's been nice to be out of the ugly front zip ones I had (that were also chaffing a little).
I have slept on my sides a little but am staying mainly on my back, probably more because I'm paranoid of messing something up haha ... I've been babying them a little!
It's been been very cold and icy here though so I have been covering them up most of the time - had a little incident where I fell on the ice right outside of my house - my relax of course was to outstretch my arm and that was not a pleasant feeling on my pec/boob area but thankfully the discomfort was gone shortly... I just hope it didn't affect anything longterm! They look and feel the same (still fairly firm but slowly getting softer on top!) so I think I'm alright... Just worrying. Has anyone else had a fall or incidents at all? I think that's it for now - I will post a couple pics of the bras - unfortunately I had to take them with my phone so sorry for the bad quality!

Update/A word of advice

So I just wanted to update this and say that I am doing well - I am now able to reach above my head and do pretty much everything without pain (besides heavy lifting or pushing). I am going through gym withdrawals however and am hoping to start spinning and doing my light lower body work on Thursday when it's been 2 weeks. I've been walking everyday but it doesn't feel like enough (but I also don't want to compromise my healing so I will wait for that 2 week mark). My boobs have definitely dropped a little - one faster than the other of course (seems that's how it goes for almost everyone so I'm not too worried). I think I was doing a little too much comparing earlier and have come to find they actually look smaller in the pictures I've taken than in real life. I've decided to stop comparing. I have been feeling like they might be smaller than what I was hoping for - but at least I know I went with the max my PS suggested so I'm not regretting my decision or anything like that. They are still changing and I need to have patience! A word of advice for any other girls who are feeling small post BA ...Go try on one of your old bathing suits NOW. Seeing them shape a bikini that used to gap/be flat against your chest ...a great feeling.
