Feeling fabulous. Moving around normally without pain. My nipples finally healed about the first week of Aug. i am finally sleeping on my sides. Overall, very happy I did the surgery.
I can't take selfies... How do you do it?
I have been so busy with work that I haven't shopped for bras so still wearing my exercise bras. The bras in the photos are old ones so I haven't gone to nordstroms to play around and shop.

You look fabulous! I'm sure when you have more time, you'll buy new bras. I too have yet to shop for bras. I bought a couple new sports bras, but that's is it. All I have is support and sport. I'm going to start shopping sometime new. Not in a hurry as I hate to shop. :-) Again, looking gorgeous! Glad all is well...xoxo

They look amazing. Thank you for the status updates. I am going in for a revision simply to increase size. I'm nervous about doing it under local but more nervous that I wont be happy with the size. I will however if don't mind use your pix as reference. I'm going from 34D with 300/350 implants to 475/500 implants and hoping I will be happy with the amont of increase. I'm not a full D currently and my breasts were uneven to begin with hence the 2 different implant sizes. Again, congrats. They look amazing!

Thank you! Thanks for reading my story. I am glad I went up by almost 200 cc. My body swallows the cc's.

Surgery scheduled for November 4th. The more I do my research the more think I'm able to go bigger. I will be using your wish picks as well. That's a out the size I decided on. I think although I'm not very tall, because I'm not petite i won't look like too much. Congrats again!

I'm 5 weeks post op with my revision from 375cc saline to 575cc mod+and am sending you good vibes and wishes! I also went through the teary days and think it's the result of inability to exercise and do the things we are used to doing. You look great! We are all here to support each other and you've got "real friends" on this site! I also have wide apart breasts and I'm hoping when I finish dropping they will look better and that they aren't too far under my arms!!!

I am going to read your post. Thank you. Yes,the teary phase was so bad! I agree, feeling helpless and useless was driving me crazy. I feel so good now. From5 weeks to now is such a dramatic improvement so you have a lot to look forward to! Thank you for your support!! ❤️

Overall doing well. Back to normal activities. Now I am allowed to reach with my arms. Boy do my muscles hurt from not using them! I drove for the first time today and worked all day so I am tired. My breasts still need to drop. My right breast still had a scab on it and I accidentally pulled it off and bled surprisingly alot until I realized what happened. As soon as I put pressure on it, the bleeding stopped and it looks fine. Hope you are all healthy and happy.

Glad you are healing so well. I'm sure you had a rough day. I remember my first day driving I was tired and had to wait til the next day to go into work. It is tiring getting back into a routine after taking time off! You are doing great and I'm sure everyday will get easier for you!

Thank you! Yes using my arms again is so hard! My arms are so sore and my muscles weak. I am excited to be more active again. Thanks so much for all of your support.

Oh yeah, I can't wait to start working out. I feel like I have no muscle mass anymore. I'm a little weakling! So worth it though. Teaches you patience, that's for sure!

You don't need to lose five more pounds. You look great! Happy to hear you are back to your normal activities! I've got 3 more restrictions before I can resume normal activity, and must wait until 6 month mark. Glad you are doing so well, and thanks so much for updating and posting photos of your progress. You look great! xoxo

Thank you!!! I want to fit in my clothes again. When you are 5'2" even 5 pounds is a whole dress size! I have a big presentation coming up and am so nervous to talk in front of people. I want to look fit!
Again thank you for all of your support through all of this! It has been so helpful. What are the restrictions fir you?

Hi UFgator! By the way, love your username. Great doctors at that University. ;-) I'm your size as well and completely understand how just 5 pounds can make a difference; nonetheless, I hope you don't lose too much weight. You do have a beautiful and slender body already.

The restrictions I continue to have up to the 6-month mark are, no lifting over 10 pounds, support 24/7 and back sleeping only. I'm a back sleeper, so it is good there. I also will be living in support, expect on special dinner occasions, etc., when wearing a dress that cannot be worn with a bra (I have plenty of those dresses). I will probably remove the 2 bras at 6-months, but I'm not sure. I won't wear two during the day, but will probably continue to sleep in two. I will choose something a little more comfy, but with support.

I still continue to take it a little easy. I am allowed to ride horses, but not ready for the bounce and I must do a lot of heavy lifting when tacking a horse, so I won't ride again until about the 7-8 month.

My surgeon had a very difficult time with my side pockets and I believe why my surgery ran into over-time (6 hours long). I still get sore on the sides if I overdo anything, so I take it a little easy most days.

Hope you are doing well. You really look gorgeous! xoxo

Hi! Yes my doctor told me yesterday to start getting more aggressive with massaging so I am. Thank you... i hope things continue to go well.

July 26, 2015
I think I need to get a tad more aggressive with my right side! If my left boob was at the same level as my right I would actually love where my right side is at.. But since my left has dropped a little more I feel the right needs to do the same lol

That's not bad...I'll look for it. It looks really cute and comfortable :) I'll have to look online, we don't have a Macy's around. We have Belk and Dillard's. I only have a few sports bras too since it's only temporary.
