So, it's been exactly three weeks today. It seems like FOREVER. Healing okay. My doctor did not use steri-strips and the darkness on my nipples is actually skin that will all eventually peel off with what seems to be "new" skin underneath. Has anyone else experienced this? It's like peeling after a sunburn. Weird. Have a few scabs here and there. Other than redness at the bottom of the vertical incision, my biggest problem during the last week has been the stinging and burning pain all through my breasts, but mainly from the nipple down. I guess it is all the nerves trying to reconnect. Has anyone else experienced all these terrible pains? It isn't the incisions or even the muscle pain .... Hopefully it will get less and less. And the more active I am, the worse the pains. Still can't sleep on my side at all... very painful. And if you can tell, one side is dropping faster than the other and I have what looks like a flat spot on the bottom of one side. Uugghh, I hope it evens out soon. In some pictures they look all weird but not that uneven when just looking in the mirror. Otherwise, still super happy and trying to be patient for the next few weeks. I want it to be all better, but then I realize I only had surgery three weeks ago and it's going to take time. Hope all you ladies are doing great!

It's been 12 days since surgery. Went for checkup two days ago and doc says everything looks good. The nurse removed a stray stitch. Still having a few pains here and there and still have to sleep on my back which is pretty bothersome. Have to wear the ugly surgical bra for three more weeks -- uugggghhhhhh!!!! Still think the surgery was a GREAT investment!!!!! Anxious for a few more weeks and months to go by to see the final result. Going to wait one more week and start out slowly at the gym again. SCARED a bit, but can't wait to get back into routine.

I went back to work today, and my boobs are so sore and warm to the touch. Getting ready to ice them again. I swear, they look way bigger in this picture than what I think they look like in person. Maybe they're just still really swollen. I see my PS on Friday for the first follow up since the day after my surgery. I have some stray stitches at the bottom of my right breast that are bothering me. Seeing friends out in public who run up and give you a big hug makes me super nervous! Happened tonight. I sort of turned to the side so it wouldn't hurt! My back is SO sore from sleeping on my back ALL the time. I'm strictly a side sleeper so it is really hard to get comfortable. I did all our Fall outside decorating yesterday, and I think I overdid it. But, after a week at home all you have to do is look at Pinterest projects to complete! But, so glad to be feeling better and back to work and almost back to normalcy. Can't wait for all the glue to come off. My bra still sticks to me but getting less and less every day. I haven't taken anything at all for pain or discomfort since the second day after surgery. Really, not so bad! But my skin is SO tight it still feels like it is about to burst open. I hope the discomfort and redness from today goes away. Going to watch it closely to make sure it isn't a problem :/. Happy Tuesday, everyone!!
