Feeling great. My breasts, especially my nipples, are sore but its not too bad. The discomfort is just enough to remind me I just had a boob job! I'm looking forward to a time when they feel like mine and look more natural. I'm trying to be patient...I know it's so early and I just feel really grateful I finally did this.

Post Op
EOISeptember 4, 2014
I had a great post-op appointment the other day. Everything is healing just like it should and I feel great. I get a little worn down easier but I'm making sure to rest when I can.
New updates:
I got to take that awful ace bandage off and switch to a sports bra. I need to wear a sports bra almost all of the time except for showers.
I can sleep on my side or back.
I still cannot exercise for at least 2 more weeks.
Use anti-biotic cream on my incisions twice a day.
Three things that I think helped my recovery go well.
I started working out a lot about 18 months ago when I discovered that an hour of working at gym meant an hour of alone time since the gym has a daycare :) I work out about 5 times a week and I think my ab and leg strength really helped my recovery. It was a lot easier to get up and move around using my lower body.
I also started "training" the twins a few weeks before the surgery. I got a little step stool for the car, kitchen, and the bedroom for them to climb into (with assistance) the car seats, booster seats, and cribs. It wasn't stressful at all 3 days after my surgery when I started getting back into our routine.
Possibly most importantly, I started using the support system on this site. You ladies made such a huge impact on this entire process for me! I barely told anyone about having this procedure done so this support system was especially important for me.

That's great to hear your appointment went well! And I love that blue bralette you look awesome in it!
September 6, 2014
Thanks! I've never filled anything like that out before!!! They look a little like [RS bleep] star boobs now but I know that's only temporary.

Glad the post-op went well- you look fantastic! I get to go visit our doctor today, lol...one day we might run into each other!
September 6, 2014
Is it bad that I'm hoping we do?! There is something nice and even easy about connecting with a stranger about something so personal! I'm so glad my surgery was so close to yours since we shared the same Dr. I've been so happy with Dr. Desai and his staff. Read your latest review...I'm counting down the days til the gym too! It's hard when it's part of your daily routine!!! Here's to happy healing. I'm happy everything is going well on your end.

September 6, 2014
Thanks for your encouragement...I can't wait to drop and fluff! They look like such [RS bleep] star boobs now. I'm really looking forward to a natural look.

I think you looking quite gorgeous they have a beautiful shape :) I made it one month post op :) I am loving mine ! Glad to hear you got to switch to a sports bra they are so much more comfortable and cute! Happy healing :)
September 8, 2014
Thanks Nyki! You are so sweet and positive! Congrats on 1 month! Big difference? Mine are still tight. I know it's been less than 2 weeks so I'm not expecting any different but can't wait!
September 8, 2014
You are welcome !!! It is hard to wait for that final result though I understand! Take care :)

You look great!! You should be able to wear a sports bra now if you want to. I wasn't a fan of the ace bandage and switched to a cotton sports bra (with snap things up the front) after the first day. Just wait until you get to go bra shopping! Yesterday, I tried on some bathing suit tops and sports bras, and it was possibly the most fun I've ever had in that part of the store, lol. Hope your recovery continues to go well- good luck with the doc on Tuesday! :)

Oh I'm so sick of that ace bandage!!! He said to keep it on until my appointment on Tuesday except for short showers. Do you think it would be ok to switch to a sports bra, front closure, just for a bit? SO sick of it!
September 1, 2014
Ok Sweetheart I'm sorry sorry.... I honestly would follow his directions. If he told you to wear it I would keep it on. Maybe you can have someone help make it not as tight? I know it feels miserable. I'm surrounding you with positive healing thoughts & prayers for comfort! Hang in there love...Tuesday is almost here!
September 1, 2014
Thanks, and I know you're right. I've saved all the money and done everything possible to prepare for this...shouldn't mess it up now especially since it's going so well! Thanks...I needed to hear it!
September 1, 2014
I hesitate to say to lose the ace bandage if he told you otherwise, although I don't remember anyone telling me anything about the ace bandage. I think though the whole point is to kind of keep them in place and help push them down so they settle faster, so an hour or so of a nice comfy sports bra doesn't seem like it would hurt at all. After all, that's roughly the same time as 4 short showers in a day and he said that was allowed, right? Haha. :)

Looking good! I would say you'd be okay with a sports bra for a little while. That's what was suggested to me to wear for the first week. I think you got just the size you wanted!!! Happy healing!
September 6, 2014
I think you're right...I did! I can't wait until they look more natural. They are very tight still. I never realized how many stages there were to this procedure! I always assumed someone wanted a boob job and they just went it and got one :) So much more complicated!
