It’s Really Happening!

Hi girls! Ahhh.. finally reached 6 weeks and I must say I feel pretty close to normal! I do still have a little swelling here and there and tire earlier than pre surgery but I feel 100% better. The tightness is still there but it’s not like it was in prior weeks, it’s more of a “comfortable” tightness. My scar is looking better too, still a ways to go on that though. I’m doing exercises but keeping an work to a minimum. Eating clean and started stretching again. Now let’s talk boobs. My pesky right boob is started to heal! And I feel like the more they dropped and fluffed the bigger they got. I don’t mind it at all, they can fluff all they want! I’m putting vitamin e oil on everywhere even my incisions, I heard this works! So all of you ladies waiting for the magical week it’s definitely week 6 for me, it may be 7 or 8 for others. I’ve learned to not compare recovery’s because we all hea differently but one thing for sure is we will all keep looking better and better with time. I never thought I’d get to say that. Happy healing ladies, prayers for all of you. Keep updating your stories! I enjoy reading the journey you’re on!

So I’m a little over 30 dpo. Overall happy that I look better than I used too however, for the money I spent I am a little unsatisfied with a few things. I waited so long for this surgery and finally came up with the money only to still feel self conscious about some things. My TT scar goes way up on my hips so pretty much any bottoms whether panties or swim suit shows the scar unless I pull them way up like granny panties. But one of the big readings I went through all of this pain is to throw out those granny panties! And my poor right nipple that’s irregular shaped, not to mention my wound under that same boob that just won’t heal. I have “ pleating” in my sides ( I forgot to take pics) but hopefully that at least goes away. I’m trying to stay positive and not sound ungrateful because I know it could be so much worse but I’m only human. I’ve always had very low self esteem and no self confidence when it came to my body so just wanted this to really work out. On a brighter note, I do like how my boobs look in my tops though!! I am standing 100% straight up. I’m still getting very tired by around 6:00 pm or so and still a little tender in my lipo area. Oh! Forgot to mention one other thing, my pubic area that sticks out further than my belly, never thought I’d get to say that Lol! I’m hoping everyone that is healing is doing well or getting better! I also wish those that are about to have surgery the greatest experience!

I haven’t really updated bc no significant changes but the itching is crazy!! That’s why my stomach is so red in the picture. I just took my binder off and scratched away at my belly! My lipo areas are also extremely itchy and in between my boobs. Ugh, one thing after the next but still well worth it. They say beauty is painful and they weren’t lying!
