Taking the Plunge! 290CC Mentor Anatomical Implants, 32A to 32D

So the suspense was killing me and I couldn't resist any longer...I got sized!! I have to say, I've never had so much fun trying on (literally) hundreds of bras. Spent an absolute fortune!

She sized me at.....32D, even a 32DD in certain styles (usually the plunge style of bra I needed the larger size).

Happy does not even begin to describe it!

I'm still wearing my sports bra as my surgeon said to wear that until he sees me for follow up at the six week mark. I feel practically back to myself, no pain or discomfort in my breasts. Just still a bit of numbness below the nipple, but this seems to be gradually improving day by day.
I'm so pleased with my results, just can't wait to get back on that treadmill now!

Happy healing everyone :) xx

First of all - thank you for leaving me all the encouraging comments after last week's post. I was definitely feeling a little bit down!

This week, I'm feeling a bit better - managed to get myself to the gym for a start! I took it easy, but I managed to get my heart rate up and work up a bit of a sweat which definitely made me feel better! Might even try a yoga class this week...

My nipples are still super sensitive, but only when they're touched, they don't bother me in the bra. The whole breast is still a little tender to the touch, but much better than before. I'm now sleeping on my side again, but have to readjust my position frequently as the pressure becomes a little painful on one side.

Two more weeks until I'm cleared to wear any type of bra I want! I've managed to resist getting myself measured or trying on any bras, I'm getting super excited now!! I'm working night shifts for the next two weeks so hopefully it'll go quick and then I can buy myself some sexy new lingerie!!

Happy healing everyone :) xx

Feeling a bit fed up now. I'm fed up of constantly being aware of my breasts, of the weird tingly feeling whenever I touch them, the heaviness whenever I take off my bra. My surgeon said no running or upper body exercise for 6 weeks, I tried to go to the gym and went on the stationary cycle (which I've always hated) and the cross trainer made them jiggle too much and it was just too uncomfortable. Before the operation I was working out 4 times a week and now I'm just sat most of the time and eating too much and feel like I've piled on weight and that's making me very anxious and depressed (I had borderline eating disorder as an adolescent).
I saw a friend at work for the first time since the operation and she didn't even know I'd had the op and when when I told her, she couldn't really see much difference. I just feel whats the point in putting myself through so much, if people can't even tell?
I accidentally pulled off some of the glue on the left incision and it's opened up a little and it's gone all pink again so that's causing me some anxiety.
I don't really feel like they've changed much since the op itself, they are getting softer at the top of my breasts. My nipples are extremely sensitive and the area below the nipple and directly above the incisions are numb, I can feel a pressure, but the feeling is similar to when you've got a dead arm, like when you've slept on it all night.
I miss being able to run, and weight train and because of the sports bra I can't even see any difference in clothes at the moment.
