4 weeks post op
Wow! Haven't posted in over two weeks. How is that possible??!! I'm doing great! At my two week check was told that I'm being great and to baby mySelf a little for the next week but otherwise can do whatever I want as long as I listen to my body ( wear any bra, start working out, sex, etc). Take came off of breast incisions and retaped tummy. Said to keep tape on and replace every week. No scar therapy /she just keeps the [RS bleep] on. Started working out a few days later (walks and videos /just modified). That was over a week ago and it's getting so much easier! My workouts are Getting more intense and loving the sweat! Sleeping in my side, pretty much back to normal around the house. Only pain comes from being bumped, some nerve pains in tummy areas, and my ab muscles occasionally. Definitely feel stretched-esp when I'm power walking or twisting. Can sit up from laying position fairly easily and getting in and out of bed is also easy.
Had to go in at 3 weeks to get some stitched cut that were sticking out and those areas have since healed great! Left breast is still high and harder / right had dropped and is so much softer. Looks awesome. Go in next week for a check (will be 5 weeks). Amazing how fast I have healed as how life changing the tummy improvement has been! My confidence is sky high -and I know it's gonna get even better! Can't wait to really hit it in the gym and get my arms and legs even more toned and to work on my 6 pack! Ha! Hope y'all are well. Happy New Year!

Days 7--10 post op. :)
I've meant to keep up my journey better than this... Suddenly 4 days have flown by and I'm behind. I have such a terrible memory! So on Thursday (day 7 post op) I had my 1 week post op. I was sooooo excited all week to get to that day anticipating my drain removal and just reassurance that healing was on track.
Appointment went great! Nurse of course said the breast size difference would figure itself out... And the fact that I'm right handing could cause the right side muscles to swell more.. Who knows. I'm looking forward to seeing what Dr. Haws thinks next week. Nurse took out my drain! Yippee!! I had dumped 10 ml that morning and that was after 24 hours from last time. Man that drain coming out was something. Didn't hurt at all!! But it was almost worse than pain cause it felt like my insides where being mixed up and just feeling the tube go from my right hip all the way to my left was just bazaar. I actually got a little dizzy... But it was over quick. Actually when the cut the stitches around the drain tube-that hurt. She said they were right! The she checked incisions and clipped any stitches that were sticking out and then retaped. Said my belly button looked good but was very bruised. Put some peroxide in it and I watched it bubble up. Then just a little pad over it. Glaze and tape over my drain opening so it can ooze if needed. And then instructions to just wash over tape with dial soap in shower and over my exposed bb and drain site. Then cover back up when done. Showering was amazing without that tube!! I'm also supposed to start squeezing each breast (lower) a couple of times 3 x a day to help them continue their journey. Short walks just no getting my heart rate up. Crazy how fast our bodies can heal. And protein, water and vitamin C are my friends. Just felt amazing walking out of their like a granny! Missed my boys' basketball game again that night. :(. But my sister and out 5 youngest goes some errands done (I actually sat in the car a lot with little kids while her and our big girls ran in) and we for food and drive around our neighborhood to enjoy the Christmas lights. When we for home operation make Christmas ornaments began! It was craft station central in my kitchen.
I was exhausted! And tried laying on my side since I got the ok but my tummy wasn't having it so back to my recliner it was. In time I'll be back in my bed. Just gotta be patient. :). Hope y'all are well!!

Day 6 post op
Hey ladies! Not much new to report except my bathroom schedule seems to be back on track! Yippee!!! And I was able to take a shower by myself today! I just went slow and had everything ready... A step stool in my shower to sit on and I have a detachable shower head which is a must! And I had a next ready by my bathroom sink/counter with towels and all supplies I would need to get myself wrapped back up and ready for the day. I even had some music going. Felt great! My right breast is still significantly bigger than the left which is concerning. Everything else looks pretty good. Spent most of the day out with everyone else. House is totally falling apart. My sister is doing a great job just can't keep up with everything. She took my big kids I a field trip today and I had a sitter here for the little kids so was able to enjoy some quiet tv time sitting on my couch again. Just hard to let it all go right now. But I don't have a choice.
Still taking colace 1-2 times a day and only taking extra strength Tylenol now for over two days. I've been ok. Biggest complaint is still back pain when I'm walking and just the tightness!!! And ever since my first shower my drain is just uncomfortable where it's coming out of my skin. It just seems like I can't get it back to how it was initially position.
Dumped 10 ml this morning after 24 hours so hopeful I'll get it removed tomorrow! Hope everyone is doing awesome! Only 16 more days till Christmas! Wow!
