Happy
Just thought I'd update a little, sorry no pic since I'm at work right now. lol Anyway, still so happy I had the br done. I'm massaging palmer's lotion into the scar's hoping they will fad. I slept last night without a bra and I could definitely feel pulling on the scar area's when I'd move but was too tired to get out of bed to put a bra on. I still have no feeling in my right areola/nipple area but I can deal with that. I was told it could happen, so I surely can't complain. I still like the size and shape and feel so much better as far as my neck, shoulders, and upper back are concerned. My biggest downfall is that to have my surgery I had to quite smoking and with that has come definite weight gain. I'm eating very healthy and not a lot of calories, fat or carbs. I'm eating mainly vegetables and/or protein. But the weight keeps on a coming. YUCK I had a dr. appt with my rheumatologist yesterday for my Fibromyalgia and she said don't worry about the weight your body is still dealing with having surgery and adjusting to not having nicotine. I'm getting sick of it because unfortunately I was one who did not feel bad as a smoker and I enjoyed it. I want one everyday but I know I can't have one or I'd be right back to smoking and my kids and grandkids would not like that. But it's oh so hard. I'm trying to get back to exercising-elliptical and yoga but my fibro is causing me to not want to move. So sorry for going on about all that! I hope everyone who had surgery about the time that I did (Dec. 2) is doing well and for everyone else, congrats. If anyone has any questions, I'm here.

Decided since I wrote such a downer of an update I'd post pics too.

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been on here for a bit. Just kind of discouraged. I work 12 hour shifts from 10 to 10 right now, I'm light duty so they let me work whatever 12 I want. I barely make the 12 hours because I swell at night and just plan get very uncomfortable. I've tried bringing a different bra with me so that I can change and not be in the same style all day, which sort of helps I guess. I'm constantly having to reach inside my uniform shirt and pull down the band of the bra or adjust it under my arms where the incision is. This is especially true of the incision under my right arm pit. That one just always is sore and puffy. Guess I'm just discouraged because I wanted to heal quicker. I know now that I should have asked for more than the 2 weeks off from work. I don't really do anything here on light duty, maybe a bit of typing or filing but VERY little. Sometimes I also think so sitting here in these nasty chairs is extremely difficult too. You are not really sitting comfortably at all. Sorry for being a crabby butt. I still like the size and shape. I do have a question for everyone though. Has anyone had the color in the areola pretty much go away so that now the areola is the same color as your breast. I find it quite strange and don't have a clue if its normal or not. I have mega feeling in one nipple and pretty much none in the other especially if I'm swollen at all, so I do think the sensation loss with rectify itself and if it doesn't I'm really not too concerned. Sorry I've ignored everyone lately I've been just a bit blah.
