New Years Resolution

After my 1 year post op appointment. I am going to start working out again or at least walking or running. In one year I went from 106 before surgery to 120. I know it is not the extra booby weight either. I am not happy with the extra weight, the way that I look or the way that I feel. I feel lazy and tired all the time. I need that confidence I had right after having the surgery. I am not going to get a tummy tuck knowing that I can get back into shape on my own. I can do this!! I know I can!!! I gotta get my body back!!!!!

A little discomfort...going on 1 year post op.

So my surgeon told me that it could take up to a year to completely heal and drop into place. Its almost 1 year post op and I feel occasional discomfort on my left breast and very rare but also at times on my right. The pain occurs on the bottom of the breasts, sometimes on the side close to the armpit and sometimes a sharp pain like its my heart. I don't know if its my bras or if its my driving or that I am rolling on them in my sleep but I figured that I could do just about anything now that I am 1 year post op without feeling any kind of pain or discomfort. I did plenty of research and heard that it is normal and its probably just muscle pain. My right breast is more saggy or settled?? and my left breast is more full or perky?? (Not sure the right description for them but my hubby says he doesn't see the difference possibly to be nice or because he is just focused on size lol.) On another concern I noticed for several months that I have this red completely filled in circle on the top of my left breast. It only shows up when I get out of a hot shower. My husband had a similar problem but his pm said that it was a fungus he got from the gym but was easily treated with medication. I'm thinking I may need to see my regular doctor for that. I should see my doc in a few weeks for the 1 year post op appointment so I will definitely bring up my concerns. Hope everyone is doing well!

Feeling like Deleting my before pics! I cant...

Feeling like Deleting my before pics! I cant believe I went so long looking like that but I wont! :( So yesterday I wore a wire bra for half a day that I bought a month ago on clearance. No padding btw woohoo!! It is a 34C. I am definitely not a 34...more like a 32 because the straps werent tight enough but Im thinking I am still a C. Going to Victoria Secret today so we shall see! Wish me luck!
