Almost 2 months... wow!
My new chest has afforded me so many opportunities I never thought I would have. I finally had the courage to get a cute pixie cut (I never would've before because I felt like it would've made my boobs stand out even more). I also can go bra less now or wear a structured camisole and look appropriate... as silly as it sounds this has been a life long goal of mine!
The infected spot on my left nipple cleared up about a week after it was discovered. Now you can barely see it. Also, I think some of my sensation in my right nipple is coming back. Following surgery my left was hypersensitive and the right had basically no feeling. I'm slowly regaining feeling around the sides of my boobs as well!
All in all they are healing beautifully. Having small boobs is everything I could've hoped for and more! I think I'm at a full C now, but I'm losing weight so I'm sure they'll shrink down a bit. Also... my insurance kicked in and I paid about a whopping $100 for the entire ordeal. Not bad if I say so myself. ;)

One month post op
So I had my 4 week follow up appointment... the doctor was very impressed with how great my shape and incisions look already. She took the steri strips off of my nipples and she said my right was healed up. Unfortunately, a stitch on my left had gotten infected under the steri strip. She said that internally it was healed up, but superficially it was still healing.
All of the liquid from the infection got trapped under the steri strip. In other words, it was absolutely disgusting. The sight and smell was enough to make me not eat dinner.
She said since it was mostly healed, I didn't need an antibiotic. I was instructed to wash it with soap and water, apply Neosporin, and put a bandage on it.
At this point I am functioning at a normal level. I also am sleeping on my sides and stomach. I have 2 more weeks before I can get back to exercising... which I'm actually excited to do now that my back feels better.
I'm in better spirits now but my sore thing on my left nipple really had me freaked out earlier. It grossed me out and it worried me. I'm a total hypochondriac, so this is just another thing to fixate on. I am worried how long it will take to heal and I am also worried if it'll effect scaring. Even worse I'm worried I'll somehow end up losing my nipple.

3 weeks post op
Well I can't believe it's been 3 weeks! Some updates here...
I'm pretty much back to doing everything on my own and doing it comfortably. My boobs are really starting to look like boobs! The shape is already great.. I almost wish it would stay just like this. I'm also worried they will look bigger. I have seen a lot of pictures on here where people's breasts look bigger after they settle in for a few months.
I'm in that post surgery stage where I'm feeling like my boobs are still too big. I know they are way smaller than they use to be, but not as small as I'd originally hoped for.
In other news, my back feels so much better. I even have an urge to get up and exercise, I can't wait until I'm cleared to start! Also, my sex drive suddenly spiked last weekend. We were cautious, but overall it was very comfortable. I thought I would have to really limit my positions and activity, but the only thing I avoided was laying flat on my stomach.
Lastly, my doctor said to just trim off my surgical tape as it peels up. The outer corners of my bottom incisions have started to peel up a little bit. My steri strips haven't shown any signs of loosening. I'm convinced they will never come off.. lol! Also, all of the adhesive is still on my skin from my tape and it's grey and tacky. Does anyone have tips for getting it off without damaging my incisions?
