One Week Post-Op
Well now that I've been back to work for a few days, I've noticed a bit of a decline in comfort level. On Monday, I wore a lighter support, normal wireless bra.. But by the end of my workday (I have a 9-5 desk job at a computer all day), my boobs were just throbbing, I started feeling zingers, and they felt so freaking heavy. I regained nipple sensation this day too, but it was NOT good sensation. Ouchie! So ever since then, I've been wearing my super tight Under Armour bra nonstop. It's prettier and definitively more supportive because it's so tight, so it hurts less overnight and when I wake up, I'm a lot less sore. I was initially excited to not be required to wear a sports bra during the day.. But the past two days when I've been wearing it, it's actually felt BETTER.. especially when I'm leaning over or reaching for things. It's just becoming a little too uncomfortably small for
me, as my muscles are relaxing more. And it's a C-cup! Geez!
My dr. also expressed concerns about me wearing it, because he doesn't want them to heal that way. So even though I personally don't mind that look, I'm going to trust his opinion and expertise, and wear something that will allow them to drop a bit more.
Other than that, he seemed super pleased with how I'm healing and said everything looks perfect so far!
He and the nurse recommended some nip cream to help with my pain there.. I found it in the baby section at Target and it was super helpful with showering! It pretty much feels like a heavy lip balm, which just creates a barrier so that the water or your clothes or whatever don't rub straight up against your nippies. So I totally recommend that to anyone who is experiencing similar pain there!
My 1 week pics don't look too different than the last ones I posted, so instead, I'm throwing in some that show what they look like in a tank and bikini top. :)

Day 6 Post-op
I guess I was considering my day of surgery to be "Day 1 Post-op," but I just noticed the counter thing on this website is a day off.. So these pics say Day 7.. But I guess they're actually Day 6! Oops! Anyways.. I got my under armour sports bra in the mail a few days ago and I had ordered it (pre-op) in a size 32C.. Just guessing what I was gonna end up with.. The 32 band size makes a huge difference from the 34/36's I've been wearing! So much more support, and less painful to bend over! Butttt... It is SUPER snug on me.. I think I could have gone with a 32D!!!! Sucks the size isn't perfect because it was expensive (and I'm too lazy to return [RS bleep]). But so exciting to need a D-cup! The good thing about it being a little too small though, is that it pushes the girls up nicely. Gave me a nice little preview of what a push-up bra is going to look like, eventually! :) So freaking excited for that!
They started to soften up a bit more by Friday evening (Guess that would have been Day 3).. And now I can push them all the way together.. though that's still a little painful. I can lay on my side when I'm sleeping now, too, but it's probably not ideal.. And not totally comfortable, but I'm starting to be able to make it work. My nips are looking a lot more normal today.. They're finally not hard anymore. Hah.. My areolas have stretched quite a bit more than I was expecting! And they're so much lighter in color now.. Almost the same color of my skin.. which I'm not sure I like! Hopefully they'll darken up a little bit and show more contrast, as my skin gets used to being stretched, and maybe when I tan them? I don't know how that works.. Hah
I'm at 112 pounds today and was 110 on the day of surgery.. But I still feel a teeny bit yucky and bloated from the meds, and also eating like crap.. So maybe that'll keep going down. I don't know... 2 pounds up from where I was isn't that bad though, I guess.

Day 3 Post-op
Pics/recap from that day.. I went out and bought an inexpensive wireless bra on this day to wear when I'm out and about and don't want sports bra straps to show.. I didn't think it would be so difficult
to find my size! Apparently with the larger cup sizes, larger band sizes are more common. So 34C was what I ended up with. And of course the next day, it ended up fitting me completely differently and now feels a little small.. But it'll do for the time being!
I was able to drive myself to Target with no problem.. Was worried about being able to turn the steering wheel and shift into gear, but I didn't have a problem at all! :)
