32 Years Old, Athletic Build - Los Gatos, CA

Yesterday, I went to Victoria's Secret and bought bras! It was exciting and lots of work trying on so many sizes. I thought I was going to be a 36C, since that's the size that the doctor told me to buy for the post-op bra, but I ended up filling out a 34DD comfortably. I included pictures of the bras I got and one for giggles of the 36C you see me falling out of. I also have a picture of a bra given to me as a gift that I was never able to wear because it was too big. That bra is seer and pretty, but it's 36C cut into my chest, so it is also too small. I also got some bras at Kohl's. They were half the price and just as comfortable. I ended up only keep one of my VS bras because of the cost and I'm a budget after the holidays. At Kohl's in Maiden Form, I also fit a 34DD. I know there is no standard size, so my bra size could be slightly different dependent on designer, but for now I fit nicely into the stated size.

I will say, that those VS models trick us with their breast size by wearing bras too small. Something to consider if you are wanting to play around for a costume or something.

I also have pictures of my scars. As you can see, they are healing nicely. I enjoy doing the scar treatment because I can see how I'm healing. It takes longer than with the doctor, but it's worth the time to do it yourself. I'm very impressed with how they are healing.

Let me know if you have any questions.

So it's been almost 5 weeks since my operation and I have to say that I'm doing amazingly well. I'm back lifting weights too. I never felt anything weird, like the implant moving. There were some movements the first couple of times, like lateral raises and push ups, that were not super comfortable, but I'm pretty much back doing everything. I thought I had taken it easy my first day working out, but apparently I did a bit too much and I was sore in my legs for 5 days, and my nipples were extra sensitive for several days, too. I haven't tried jumping or jogging yet. For some reason I'm hesitant. I am doing cardio, like incline treadmill walking and the bike, and boy do I need it. I have put on some extra body fat over these 4 four weeks, but I aim at working hard to get back into a routine and good eating habits because I have big goals for 2015.

I still have numbness on the bottom portion of both breasts, but that is to be expected for up to 3 months after surgery. The pay-off is worth it in my mind. My nipples have sensation, but not sensual sensation; rather, a burning or slight painful sensation when touched. It isn't horrible, but it isn't great either.

With sleep, I can be on my side. I find having my king size pillow up against my back feels real nice because I can be more at an angle, which take pressure off the lower breast. I still sleep on my back, too. I am yet to try sleeping on my stomach, but I'm sure that I can since pressing my body up against my boyfriend no longer hurts.

I'm really in love with the overall look of my breasts and I feel good in my body. I had a moment yesterday wishing I had gone slightly bigger, but I'm happy with what I have. The doctor did an amazing job and my scars are going to be nearly non-existent by the time the scar therapy is over. I am now doing the treatments at home since my doctor is a solid 40 minutes from my house (it's easy enough anyhow).

I posted a couple of pics of how I look in a sports bra. These pics have the same bra as a pic used prior to the enhancement. It gives you a good idea of the volume increase. I still have that athletic look (but you can see my midsection got softer with all the rest).

Today, I'm going to go use a Victoria Secret gift card since I have no bras for my new size. Luckily, I have a couple of sports bras that will fit.

Let me know if you have any questions, especially about working out.

Okay, so this Saturday I mentioned to my man that I was wondering why he wasn't touching my boobs yet. I asked him if he hadn't yet out of worry that he'd hurt me. He responded that yes he was scared to hurt me. However...after a hug I had given him (me not thinking anything of it) he was acting all weird and distracted when we were trying to pick out a movie at a RedBox. When we got in the car and and I asked him what was taking him so long, he said that he was totally distracted by my big boobs! Laugh out loud! He said that he could still feel the imprint of my breasts on him and it just made me giggle, and I swear we felt like teenagers in puppy dog love. It was so cute and it really got both of us turned on.

That night we made love for the first time since surgery when I was actually able to take my bra off (since my doctor said I could have it off for an hour if I wanted). It felt so good to feel his skin against my chest and to feel this new sexiness about myself that I have only imagined. Now, that sexiness I imaged is real and it was erotic and awesome! Let's just say that I can't wait for my breasts to get even softer and pain free because it's going to be wonderful.

I'm really happy with my healing process. I'm still tender with certain movements and I'm still in a bra 24/7, but ever day is better and better. This Wednesday I go in for my three week appointment where I'll learn how to put the scar strips on myself, which will be good because my PS is 40 minutes away from my house.

Yes to healing and more love makin'!
