Tata to the Ta-tas - Inver Grove Heights, MN

Hey Ladies! Just wanted to update my profile again! I am still loving my new, smaller breasts! They are awesome! My mom saw me for the first time since surgery and commented that it changed my whole body shape, which it did, and which I also love. I've added my before pictures below too so that people can see the difference!

Hey! I decided I need to update again. I am trying to do this at least once a month to give hope and perspective to those who are not as far along in the healing process.

I am now wearing real, underwire bras everyday and they feel great. Sometimes they are a little itchy along the horizontal incisions, but mostly they feel great. I am in love with my new body! I look in the mirror and see that I have a typical looking body and I love it! I didn't realize how uncomfortable I was with my breasts until they were gone. I really thought that the surgery was just for my back pain, but I now know that I was constantly self-conscious and uncomfortable in my own skin. I feel so confident now and don't carry around the same worries about men or embarrassment when I am out in public and I get checked out. And I just started dating someone! He's pretty much amazing and I am confident that he is not with me because of my large breasts. I am able to have conversations with him and he thinks I cute and smart. I would never have talked to him before and would have been worrying that he was looking at my chest all the time while we talk. But he doesn't, he actually looks at my face! (Although he's a normal, straight guy, so it's not like he doesn't check me out too). The best thing about this whole surgery and weight loss ( I am in my maintenance range!!) is the confidence I have gained. It was one of the top 5 best decisions I have ever made in my life.

Whoa, it's been a long time since I've updated. Sorry about that! I am still healing really well. I love that my breasts don't move or fall when I take my bra off and my back feels great (except that I have been neglecting my workouts so that doesn't feel great). today while I was showering I tried to lift my breasts because I am so used to that, but there's nothing to lift! LOL I love my body and I spend so much less time comparing myself to other women. I didn't even realize how much I was doing that until recently when I noticed I wasn't anymore.

My incisions are all healed up and my scars are pink. I don't usually scar very much but during the healing process of any cut my skin is bright pink so that's normal for me. for anyone who is considering having this done DO IT! I has been one of the top 3 best decisions i have made about my body in my life. I LOVE IT! Seriously, so much better.

I have been wearing mostly sports bras since surgery, but this week i bought my first real, underwire bra. It's by BarelyThere. It plunges so low in the middle, but I have no problem with that now that I don't have to strap anything down any more. I'm a 38 B right now which I am so happy with. And they are BEAUTIFUL!

Have a great Sunday. Pictures to follow.
