Ta-Da! Love them. 5 days post op... Back to work.

Yay for timing flying by through the first and most uncomfortable month. I am still well aware that I had surgery. Moving certain ways is uncomfortable and I still don't like the way it feels to sleep on my side. Twisting or turning can be tricky too.
I still take Advil or Tylenol pretty regularly and Tylenol pm at bedtime.
As far as the way they look...I pretty much love them ;) I must say the 425's seems a little smaller than I expected but I'm much bigger than I was before and I think they really got my frame and balance me out. They still look a little torpedo-ish from the side and have a sort-of flat spot on the top. I think the right side has dropped more than the left. They definietly don't look the same.
I've tried on bras a few times at VS but it just isn't comfortable yet to really try things. Lifting my arms repeatedly and taking things on and off makes me sore. I did enjoy fitting into the 36C though :)
Right now I wear either the old navy Cami active bra or the VS PINK lace cami/bralette. I'm ready though for pretty bras! Maybe even a subtle push up bra. I didn't think I'd need that post surgery but the one I tried on looked pretty good...
Looking forward to the dropping into their final settling spot :)

I hope all the other girls that got BAs last week are doing as well as I am. The only thing I'm surprised about is how tired I am, but I guess that's my body healing.
I took my Lorcet pain pills up until Saturday night. By Sunday I didn't feel like I needed them. I did wind up taking Valium one night to sleep and last night after a long day I took a pain pill at bedtime.
Yesterday I went for my post-op appt a day early. I had a few blisters near my incisions and I'd also developed a rash under my arms from the antibiotics (it's happened before so I immediately knew what the rash was futon). Appt went well. Doctor said I'm healing nicely and not to be concerned with the blisters. Thought maybe the post surgical bra was too tight and rubbed the blisters. I wore my new favorite bra to my appointment, (Old Navy active Cami bra) but he wants me in a front closure bra. I have several that I bought but they all sit on my incision! I looked online and am having a hard time finding the front closure sports bras. :(
Yesterday also wore me slap out. Sunday I was up and around the house quite a bit, even spent sme time outside watching my son swim, but yesterday I left my house at 9:30am for the dr appt and didn't return until 3pm. I wound up sleeping from 4-7pm! Take it from me.... Take it easy. Even though I felt pretty good my body was just exhausted.
Today I go back to work. I have a very relaxed desk job so I am hoping to take it very easy. I also only work 5-6 hours.
I couldn't be happier with my results. It's amazing how much they change from day to day. They are definitely starting to drop and settle in.
Pain wise, I haven't had a lot of throbbing, constant pain. My sternum has been sore. My shoulders are sore, my posture has been awful since surgery. I am having some pain, maybe it's the burning, shooting pain others have mentioned but it's not bad. I feel things moving, I hear the gurgling sound and I have some weird tingling sensations in both breast. Nothing I didn't anticipate though. I'm still icing morning and night and anytime I feel like I need it in between.
Wish me luck today back to work :) I'll post new pics soon. XO

My recovery has gone very well. The pain has been very controllable. Today I've only had to take Tylenol Extra Strength every 6 hours. I ventured out of the house and was able to take a shower and wash my hair. Yay!
Yesterday I had really bad neck and back pain. Even the pain pills didn't seem to help. The Valium did and more importantly the heating pad did. Thank goodness I had one.
Yesterday I also noticed two little blisters under the steri-strips. Today they were larger so I called the dr. He didn't seem too concerned, he had me get polysporin to put on them.
Still thrilled with my decision. I'm very happy with the results. I
