Busy busy!
WORTH IT$8,000
So sorry I have been MIA! So busy with EVERYTHING! Moving this weekend! Yippee!!
So here is a quick update:
The first week was the worst week! I stayed home from work and just slept all week, it was the only way to get through all the pain and tighteness. I couldn't believe how tight everything felt! I used Palmers lotion with Vitamin E everyday to help prevent stretch marks, so far so good! After the first week I started to feel like my normal self again - aka I could do things on my own! Went back to work and now I'm back in a good groove! At my 2 week appointment my doctor told me I can start wearing only underwire bras now! Yay! I have another follow up this Friday, 4 weeks post.
My boobs are looking and feeling better everyday! Finally starting to drop and round out! See pics!
I still wake up feeling a little bit tight and soar but once I start moving around I feel better!

Love my boobs!
Finally today everything changed! I am feeling so much better! I actually got dressed (kinda! Yoga pants and a tank top) and did my hair and makeup! Pain is definitely subsiding! And tightness is not as bad today! Things are good all around!!! The swelling is defintiley going down but they are still sitting very high. Can't wait for them to drop! They are starting to look fuller at the bottom too! I have my 1 week post op appointment tomorrow morning. I will let you all know how it goes!

Are you wearing the Victoria secret sports bra? I hope not it has padding it it and cups you don't want to wear anything like that so soon..
You look amazing and super happy! Day 6 was my turning point as well so I am happy to hear you are feeling better! I find that when I do things I get tired/exhausted quicker and my upper back/ shoulders kill me!!

Up and moving around and I wear my wireless one at night. Every doctor has their own methods :)

Feeling discouraged :(
Today has been rough. I thought for sure by now I would be feeling a lot better by now but I'm still very much recovering. My breast still hurt, Tylenol will do the trick most of the time but not today, I had to switch back to the pain killer. I think I might have over did it yesterday since I was feeling so good. Starting to feel like this breast pain and tightness back pain and uncomfortableness is going to last forever :( I just want to feel like my normal self again....

I felt the exact same way at 4 days as you do today. I think a lot of women on this site do. 4 days post was the hardest day. Little by little after the 4th day things started feeling better. I know it's tough, but hang in there! They look great!

It's good to know I'm not the only one! It seems some women on here are back to their normal selfs within a couple days! But I just have to keep reminding myself that we all heal at different rates. Thanks for the words of encouragement!

From what I've read, you will have good days and bad days during the first couple of weeks. At the end of the day you have to let go and trust the process. Your favorite wish boob pic, the one your own doctor did, will eventually be you! Chin up!

Can't wait to have those wish boobs! I guess I'm closer now than I ever have been before! Just need to get through this recovery part! I should feel very blessed though that I have had no serious issues and that there is no bruising or lopsidedness! Thanks for the encouragement!

Today I am on day 5, had surgery last Wednesday and I must say yesterday and today I am feeling MUCH better!!! There is hope and light at the end of the tunnel, each day i feel more and more better, now my back and shoulders just hurt (they're stiff). I also bounced back and forth on the Tylenol thought I was doing good then quickly bad to go back to the pain meds! What you are describing and what I felt and what I have read all seems normal. I from time to time have a burning stinging feeling in my breasts :( do you get that too??
Happy healing to you! Hope you are feeling better!!!

Yes I do feel the burning stinging sensation on the outer side of my breast! I was worried but when my nurse called to check on me yesterday and when I told her she said it was completely normal and part of the healing process. Which help put my mind at ease because I thought something was wrong!

I know I thought so too, but I had read about it on here so I didn't panic, glad to hear it is normal, it comes and goes at random times!!
