Happy One Month to me!
Happy One Month (and one day) to this svelte beast (yes, beast)- I still don't recognize myself. My boobs are still riding a little high, the right incision is taking its sweet time to fully heal, and I'm swollen from lipo and life, but I have nothing to complain about. Absolutely nothing.
Attached are pics of how I'm healing, and I've also included a pic of my right breast incision. I also think I might be getting a double bubble, but I'm not sure if it will smooth out as my implant drops. I have an appointment with my PS in the morning so I'll talk to him about it.
I can not wait to work out again. I don't think I can until this incision closes. I popped it putting on my binder of all things, and it's just taking forever to close up. But I have a half marathon in 3 months and a full in 5 so I am antsy to get running and back to CrossFit. I'm also going to ask if I can get in a pool any time soon, but I think it'll come down to this right boob of mine.
But seriously I am so happy. I can't even imagine what I'll look like once the swelling totally subsides. I can't wait to flatten out more.
I was a little concerned that my boobs weren't going to be a size that I wanted and come out smaller than I anticipated but I put on a bra I have that's a 38C, and even though they haven't dropped or fluffed, they looked like they were too big for it. So again, patience!

19 DPO and overdoing it
19 DPO and still feeling pretty good. I'm walking totally upright, and just some general soreness here and there- not too much to complain about other than being in total and utter swell hell. Totally my fault because I have pushed it a little too hard. I'm currently traveling for work (and of course my seat didn't recline on the plane, so I sat in a super awkward position for the full two hours to take some pressure off of my incision ) and spent a good part of Saturday wandering around the city where our office is located. So yesterday and Sunday I was super swollen.
Today I'm waiting for the rest of my team to arrive so I've been laying low and the swelling has gone down. Yesterday my boobs were really sore, and the left was more sore than the right. I hoped it was due to them dropping and sure enough, this morning they looked lower! The left is really rounding out and the right is taking its sweet time, but I know she'll catch up.
My PS raised my left nipple a little but didn't touch the right because he believes the right didn't need it and they'll even out- and so far they are. It's pretty amazing.
Tried on some suits I've had forever just to get an idea of what I'll be able to wear. The bottoms on one suit were a tad lower than my scar but I honestly don't care. I won't be afraid to have it show and I know it'll fade over time. Can't wait to be able to wear them out and about.
Happy healing!

Drain Free | 13 DPO
Drain freeeeee! I'm drain free y'all! Getting those two drains out gave me a ridiculous amount of mobility. I can't believe, over all, how good I feel. I was ridiculously swollen today and came home after work and relaxed but overall, I feel pretty decent.
Let's talk drain removal. I was terrified to go again. I was so afraid of hurting. The middle drain came out with no issues, even though I felt that thing come sliding out from the inside and it is he absolute strangest feeling. The second one, that was a different story. My PS was in the room talking to me about how good everything looked and the nurse started to remove the drain. Well this little sucker - pun intended - was holding strong to some internal organ (the spleen probably. Because no one knows anything about the spleen, right?) and it would not relent. She kept pulling and pulling, and I was just about to let out a string of profanities when finally the tube released and whoosh- it was out. Thank god that was over. They also removed a few stitches today but I'm numb down there so I couldn't feel it. So all of the things I was dreading are over. I put on a sheath dress and shimmied my drain free self to work. Oh and my boobs looked huge in that dress. It was awesome.
All I'm doing right now is dreaming of getting back to working out. I miss crossfit so much. I suffered from severe cramping from May 2016 until October 2016 until my uterus ruptured at 1:30 in the morning, while I was alone in a hotel room in Chicago while on a business trip. Needless to say I had an emergency hysterectomy and it took me a really long time to feel good again after that. So I have taken a longer than I wanted to break from Crossfit and was just ready to get back into it when I scheduled surgery. Part of me was overly discouraged because I just felt like I would never lose my stomach. But now that it's gone, I have a renewed love for it. I cannot wait to see how my body changes now that my main focus isn't on losing weight.
I've attached pictures from this morning and also a couple of photos from my regular CrossFit days as a reminder that I'm only a few weeks away from getting back to what I love. The idea of potentially being able to get abs makes me giddy.
