6 weeks post-op... Strength training, cardio and a bra-less night out
Happy New Year everyone! I just left my 6 week post op appt with Dr. Baron, and all went well! She took some pictures of my progress and also said that I can move freely with no restrictions... So teaching cardio classes, high intensity cardio, pushing myself up, etc are all free for me to do. Whoop! So I guess I'm pretty much back to normal as far as movement is concerned :)
- I started lifting weights again at week 5, focusing mostly on lower body movements. No pain or discomfort at all. I'm going to try to ease my way back into upper body movements. I've read horror stories of ladies doing too much too soon as far as upper body work is concerned and implants moving out of the pocket, so I'm definitely going to take it easy with that.
- At 5 1/2 weeks post, I taught my first aerobics class since having "the girls," and man did I enjoy it! Again, very little discomfort... Nike Dri-Fit bras have definitely been my lifesavers for holding them in place.
- I'm still wearing 34C/32D bras and M/L in sports bras, depending on the brand. My bras are mostly wireless with no padding as I don't really need the extra lol I've been cleared to stop wearing the surgical bra with the death strap at night lol Dr. Baron does want me to start wearing a T bra, though, to stay ahead of a possible uniboob forming. So I'll be wearing that soon.
- I went braless for NYE and boy was I nervous lol Going out to a party braless 5 weeks after surgery made me a little scared, but I just HAD to wear this sexy backless dress. Needless to say, I had nothing to worry about. The girls were nice and perky in the dress and I even had a little side boob for the first time ever :-) I'll include a pic, but I felt so sexy that night. Even with all of the moving around, walking and dancing, I had no discomfort during and after the party.
Dr. Baron also peeled off what was left of the steri strips, thank goodness! My scars really don't look bad! I'm going to begin massaging them with vitamin e oil 1-3 times daily after showering to minimize their appearance. Other than that, I am so in love with their size. I think they are just perfect. Dr. Baron has been so great, and I HIGHLY recommend her if you're looking for a PS in the Atlanta area!

1 Month Post-Op... Side-sleeping and exercise
Hey hey! I can't believe that it's been 1 month already. The funny thing is that I feel like I've had these new additions all my life lol
Not much has changed since the last update. They're still settling nicely with no pain and little discomfort. Steri strips are almost gone, thank goodness. I've been so impatient waiting on them to peel off completely. I'm still wearing a 32D/34C bra. I was FINALLY able to put my hand on the Calvin Klein bralette! (Thanks Addels6!) Definitely the most comfortable bra that I own now. I'm hoping to stop wearing those surgical bras that I came home with to bed and start wearing this one.
Speaking of bed, did anyone start side sleeping comfortably at the 1 month mark? I'm trying to ease my way into sleeping on my side, but it still feels kind of... Weird... With the new girls. Any tips??
I've been cleared to begin exercising, teaching and light lifting! Yeeessss! A big chunk of my life is back haha I'm going to start off light and gradually ease my way back into heavy lifting. I know shoulder, some back and chest workouts are out of the question for a while. Any tips for exercising/strength training post surgery?? I'm all ears!

Post Op Days 11-20... Air pockets, driving, steri strip woes and bra crazy
Hey ladies! Hope everyone is doing well! I was a little hesitant to post a new photo being that not much has changed in their appearance and I still think my areola area is looking a little puffy/weird. I'm still waiting so patiently for these steri strips to fall off. You would think they were put on with super glue lol They are starting to peel away, though, so that gives me some hope. I'm just hoping to being applying something for the scars soon... Has anyone's steri strips stayed on for this long post op? I'll be 3 weeks post tomorrow, and they are starting to stick to my sports bra.
Week 2 going into 3 has been very... Interesting. I've been dealing with some serious air pockets that make a weird noise whenever I lift my arm. It's a noise they only I can hear and feel, but it's a little agitating.
I had some weird pains shooting through my left breast also. That's the breast with the larger implant, and it seemed that every time I walked and took steps forward, there was a tugging sensation. It was most painful whenever I walked, and it happened sometimes while sitting. I'm not sure what was going on, but it wasn't terrible enough for me to call my doc. I'm going to assume that it's just the implant settling... Luckily, I haven't had that type of pain for a few days now.
I feel pretty much back to normal! They definitely starting to drop and soften. I'm getting so used to them that it feels like I've had them all of my life lol Daily activities such as driving, reaching, pushing, pulling have gotten much easier to do. I'm still being mindful to not overdo it, though, as I know I'm still healing. 1 more week after tomorrow and I'm free to get back in the gym... Hallelujah! Because I'm SO ready to get back to strength training.
I can't seem to stay off of the Victoria's Secret website lol I ordered two wireless bras and one front close sports bra in 32D. Hopefully their sports bras have good support; it'll be my first sports bra of theirs.
Posting a new pic from today. My left boob is still sitting a little high, but I feel it's dropped a great deal and is catching up to the right. Overall, they're just the right size for me and I LOVE them!
