6weeks post op:)

Ahhh 6 weeks! Ive been waiting for this milestone for what seems like an eternity!!! So glad im here, and feeling good. Only main complaints right now are that i have excess fat to work off....actually 2 pounds lighter than pre surgery, but i think with not working out, all the fat from my belly went to my hips, but and thighs!!! Today was my 1st official workout since pre surgery! Took it easy but it was still tough. More because I lost all my endurance, which amazes me,but i didn’t feel any pain which i was happy about. So the other thing im not happy about is the spot on my left breast where the t incision meets is not healed yet!! i have been bugging my PS the entire recovery about this spot and it still is not fully closed. Still bleeds a bit and oozes. It isn’t infected, just gross and not closing. Well I have now found 2 stitches in the past 2 weeks that were hidden in there....2 different times!!! That was a little discouraging that I found BOTH and there was another one in my nipple i also found that they missed earlier in my recovery!! So hoping that since all the stitches are hopefully finally removed, this damn thing will heal!!! Oh, and i have rolls still above my BB and i didnt realize that would still be there....thought it was swelling, but PS says its just me...uh great:( Oh and one more thing...haha my BB kind of pokes out a bit on the top part and hoping that will eventually tuck in, but not sure!
Now for the positive..... Im finallly starting to feel more normal! Going to go to VS this weekend and get sized and buy a bra since i have been cleared for awhile to wear any bra i want YAY for that!! Also am garment free except for overnight, and thats by my choice, not PS! I feel fine without it, and its nice not having all of that crap on underneath my regular clothes. So when I get dressed and go out i feel more “normal”. Now trying to figure out scar therapy...tried an expensive cream from PS, tried mederma, tried scar guard LOL even just neosporin......thinking im going to just order silicone sheets. Heard good things.....any opinions on that are welcome:) Dont mind spending the money on something that i know will work! So I think thats it for now:) Hope everyone is doing well and loving their new bodies. Anyone coming up on their surgeries....good luck and it will all be worth it!:)

4 weeks:) I don't want to jinx anything, but I feel I'm at a good turning point. I have had a great recovery as far as the physical aspect but the mental aspect has been my challenge! I have been frustrated with not feeling that my expectations were met. I feel still like I look pregnant because my bottom section bumps out, but isn't soft like its swelling...I'm guessing it's just me and my body contour? Ugh anyway I'm trying to focus on the fact that I'd still rather have this with the scarring over what I had before. I think it took me awhile to realize this though. Before I had this done my expectations were simple....I just didn't want utters anymore and I wanted my boobs re inflated, not huge, natural and normal....well I got what I asked for, but then through recovery I would think wow I should have done lipo if I was under the knife anyway, or wow maybe I should have gone bigger on the boobies! It's the perfectionist in me.....after the fact, and after spending all that money I really think I would be on cloud 9 with my results. So my expectations changed too late haha sounds weird I'm sure, but that's how it is. Oh, and I also wanted natural before surgery....I didn't want ppl to notice anyting....until I got back to work and no one noticed anything hahahahaha crazy, i know girls!! Haha So to go back to positive ;)..... I am starting to accept and love my new body. I notice that on the days where my scars r looking good, and the swelling is not bad, I tend to be super happy and feel better. So now I'm trying to wean myself off of all garments....wish me luck. I figure I'm going to swell when this thing isn't on me, no matter when it finally comes off. So y not start now:) I'm ready to get back to normal....
One more thing.....what is everyone doing for scar therapy? I seem to be hearing the most positive feedback for the silicone sheets......any thought? I'm sick of having to lube up with lotions cuz then I need to put gauze on so it doesn't goop up my bra and underwear.....
Thanks for all the support and happy healing to everyone. I still can say even after all of this, that I'd do it over again in a heart beat!!

26 days post op today and i titled this update thoughts because i saw my PS today for a very brief check up and i wanted your thoughts on something he said.....he said i should be fine without my binder AND sports bra!!!! He said i can go bra shopping AND i should be fine with underwire?! Although I appreciate that answer....im worried due to contradicting things I have read on here. Has anyone else been told this so soon in recovery? If so were you fine?
Well i was so excited that i thought i would test it...i had a 45 min drive home and had to make a stop for some groceries. So i was without it(binder) for about 2 hours!! At 1st it felt very strange! But by the time i got home it was feeling better and i dont feel i was any more swollen, which surprised me since i was walking around at store! I did however put it back on more just until i heard some feedback....i should trust his word, i know, but it seems too good to be true! LOL
Oh, and i had a trouble spot on the T section of my BL incision, this morning it was actually bleeding, just wasnt healing right, so he put some nitrate something on it today and said it should be fine now.....i sure hope so cuz im ready to start loving my new body already?!!! I go back in 1 week again to make sure its healed.
Since he gave me the green light to bra shop....i did LOL kinda...i want to go to VS to get measured, but until then here is a pic of the new set i got at walmart on clearance (woohoo) to get me by until i get to VS:)!! hope everyone is having a good day:)
