Wow, so late! Here is an update...with late photos

Hey guys, sorry I didn't post.

So where did I leave off? Recovery has not been too bad. Just annoying. Week 1, I knew it would be hard and I was expecting to be in horrid pain but it was okay. It went by. I was sore and bent over but it was expected.

Week 2: I was getting super tired of being bent over. I knew that I could stand straight, well straightish, and I wanted to do so. But Dr. H said that I shouldn't stand straight until day 10. (Helps with healing of the incision) I was literally causing myself back pain but I was not going to go against doctor's orders lol. LOL. But this is when I began to be annoyed by recovery. I just want to feel like myself again. And at this point coughing, laughing, moving too fast, back pain, etc. where all causing issues.

And now I have officially made it to week 3. I feel good! I still feel tight. Apparently, I'm a little bent over when I stand. My tummy feels really tight still. When I go to stretch it's like I can feel the muscle repair and it stops me from stretching. I get tired easily. My breast feel sore from doing little things. BUT!!! I do not regret this. It's hard because I still have my drains in (taking one out tomorrow) and I wear my bulky cg 24/7 so I can't really see my tummy or breast. But whenever I take a shower I'm always amazed. Even at night when my swelling is the worst I think it looks good!

I can't wait for week 6, when I hopefully feel a bit more normal. I can go to the gym and get focused on my diet again!

Oh and a few more things:
1. I've always read that your tummy hurts more than your breast lift. Yeah, that did not happen for me. My breast have been causing way more issues than my tummy lol. One of my breast had extreme sensation from day 2. Anything that touches it feels like a little stab. And they seem to be in constant pain. Whereas my tummy...nothing really. Even coughs don't hurt anymore. Although I do have these damn drains in!

2. It's week 3 and I still have my drains. :/ I'm taking out one tomorrow but the other one is still draining about 60cc per day.

3. Never got depression...just extreme annoyance lol.

4. Very easy going through Miami airport even with my drains. Had a very cute wheelchair service man aswell haha.

5. I have a feeling of being full because of the muscle repair...but I have extreme cravings. Don't know why, I think that is just how my body works. So I have been portion controlling. Don't wanna ruin my new tummy ;)

Can't think of anything else for now. I will post some old pics. They are from week 1. Hopefully, I'll have newer pics up soon.

Day 3, 4 and 5

This is going to be a quicker update. Day 3 and 4 were okay. Day 3 I was doing great until later on in the night I felt like something was stabbing me in my left boob. We called my doctor and he said it was probably nothing and to come in the next day. But all night I just felt this extreme pressure under my left breast. I thought the cg was hitting me.

The next day we go in and I saw everything. I never felt lightheaded. I was okay. I did notice how flat my stomach was though. Haha And when they took off the binding for the breast I noticed a lot of blood came from my left breast. That's when my mom said it was bigger than the right. Dr. H came in and said that everything looked great. I asked about my boob and he said it should even out soon (to be honest cant remember his exact words, just that it should be okay.) I asked a bunch of questions and he answered all of them...still super friendly. I do remember being surprised, by how flat my tummy was. Like wow, when I can stand up straight it will look amazing. And my boobs are very coned shape. Like very high and tight lol. Ready for that drop and fluff.

Today was okay. Had a bit more energy to walk around. I can pretty much do everything except get up from a reclining position, and shower by myself. My mom also gets my medicine and cooks for me. My boobs look way more even then yesterday!!! So happy, Dr. H is known as the boob god so I should probably relax a bit. I wish they would drop and fluff quickly but I know that can take months so I need to be patient. Took a shower...and it was exhausting. Wow.

I am having trouble keeping,my cg down and my incisions protected. I tried putting pads on top, but my incision is so low that they slide up along with my shirt inside the cg. I tried taping them to my body and nothing. If anyone has any tricks I am open ears. Like how to keep the incision from becoming irritated from the cg.
