19 weeks post op! (Almost 5 months!)

Oh hello hello ladies! Its been a while since I posted so just giving a quick update on my progress. I fell off the healthy eating and gym wagon while stressed over other medical issues (boo!) which has led to me going back to my starting weight (lol). Ive started again from today though! I am still wearing my royce bras everyday but found that it is getting tight again so its time to drop some pounds. I also think that the increased weight has led to my breasts going bigger again :/ :/ This is pretty scary and I haven't taken any pictures just yet as I haven't been at home (ill try take some this weekend).

I still have no nipple sensation and have swelling on the sides so I'm not sure if it will come back :s I don't know if it would bother me if it didnt, as long as I have small boobies. They are still nice and perky and I'm hoping with weight loss and exercise I'm going to drop another cup size or two, I feel like I'm a D cup again :(.

Something I've noticed is they are feeling a lot more sore and tender to touch, I don't know if thats down to numbers going internally because I'm still numb on the outside. The other reason could be due to increased weight possibly making boobs bigger and hurting the scars? Not really sure.

I have my next appointment with my plastic surgeon in December and I'm hoping to lose enough weight by then to determine if I'm truly happy with the result. Does anyone know about breast reduction revisions on the NHS? I heard that if the NHS has funded a surgery and you're not happy they may be able to perform the procedure again.

Anyway, I hope you all have a lovely evening and are doing well with your progress!

As always, feel free to ask questions

9 1/2 week post op! :D

So I went shopping a few days ago and while waiting in a queue at Debenhams I looked across and saw some bras! I remembered my PS saying id be ok to wear bras without wiring now and don't have to wear the sports bra so often. I have still been wearing the Royce bras I have as I find them super comfy and give me support where I need. Anyway, I went to have a look and found a pack of two bras for £14 (SO CHEAP!) As I looked for a 34C to try on I could only find a 34B, anyway I thought id try my luck and IT FIT! 34B FIT ME! Still shocking to me! Im pretty certain that a 34C would have fit me perfectly but nevertheless I was surprised I could even wear the B cup comfortably. I brought the pack and although I have only worn the bra once it is a great motivator to keep losing weight!

In other news about the reduction, I'm still swollen on the sides and still have no nipple sensation. Scars are still healing well although I don't put any lotion on and don't air out as often as I should. Weight loss has stayed in the same place as I've had lots of parties and outings. Ill probably post in about a month again for a follow up but feel free to ask questions. I haven't posted any new pics because they look the same

Bra size (7week post op)

as some of you ladies might know after a breast reduction your old bra may still fit. I tried on a number of bras I had (in different sizes) and I think I would fit into a 34C right now. The 34D bras I have are a little big. I haven't gone out to get measured yet as I'm waiting till I can try on wired bras! Not sure when this will be! With summer here its hard to find dresses and tops that will cover up this bra...Hoping with weight loss ill go down to a 32B :D
