Day 5

Well today has been the easiest so far. I pretty much just take Tylenol at night and once in the morning. Mostly just tight and I get random pains and burning feelings but my Nurse said its just my nerves coming back. Incisions are annoying-skin glue feels tacky in my armpits sometimes. I swear it feels like blood is gushing but nope, they're fine. Lol. Have to remind myself not to do so much raising my arms and opening things and carrying stuff. I have some light bruising on the sides and underneath. My one week post op is on Friday. I will be learning massages to help them settle. Had TWO bm's today so hopefully I start losing this bloat. How's everyone else's healing going?

Day 3

Well, last night, I had two nightmares where I woke up in tears. I am not sure whether they were related to the meds or not but they were not fun. They were in no way surgery related though. Besides that, sleeping is my least favorite. The pain meds help me fall asleep but tonight I will be switching to Tylenol as the pain is not that severe anymore and I will be going to work tomorrow. I just want to sleep on my side again. I am not a fan of being propped up against the pillows. I want to stretch out!

The girls are still high and tight. Nothing new there. I feel like they may have softened up a tad near the top but I could just be imagining that in my head. They are pretty numb on the sides towards the armpits and my nipples don't have much feeling either. My incisions must be healing because my armpits are starting to itch. I have my first post-op appointment tomorrow during lunch, pretty much just make sure everything looks okay and my incisions are healing well. Then my one week post-op on Friday. I just want them to soften up and drop-even just a little! They have this weird slope going on right now. I will post pics after I shower this afternoon. I am happy with them though. I just need to remind myself to be patient. They are going to be gorgeous! I find myself looking at lingerie online even though I know I can't wear any of it for a while. I just want to shop!

Oh. Still no BM but I started taking dulcolax yesterday. I am not extremely bloated, but still would like to have a BM by tomorrow at least!

Day 2

Well today did NOT bring less pain. This morning was a breeze. Took pain meds at 530 in the morning and woke up around 730 feeling great. Got up and ready and went to have breakfast. After breakfast-went to the store and my chest started feeling really heavy and painful. Took a lortab and took another when I got home. I took a nap and got ready for my company Christmas party. Party went smoothly but towards the end of the night-definitely needed some painkillers. But he time in between is getting bigger but I don't wanna push it. And it hurts. Definitely hurts. Been rubbing cocoa butter on them to help with the skin stretching too. Gonna take my meds and lay down for the night. Happy healing ladies!
