*6 weeks post op*
Feeling great. I can do more when I work out now and that's a great feeling. They are really feeling like my own now. Although today I went to actually buy a regular bra for the first time and I didn't even know where to begin!! Am I a C or a D? Who knows!! The C's were too small, the D's fit but looked funny. I was very disappointed! Tired of wearing the sport bra looking thing. What I need to do is go to VS and get fitted for a bra. But with 2 kids and a husband working all the time, it's about impossible!! I will try to post new pics soon.

Hi Sarah!
I had the same kind of issues at VS. They measured me and said I was a 38C. I was wearing 36C pre-op, so I was skeptical about that measurement. BUT 38C is also a 36D which overall seems to fit me the best as my breasts are pretty round so the larger cup accommodates my width more. It also seemed I needed an bigger band size when the bra is a push up. I thought that was weird.
I recently found a bra at H&M for $15. They call it the Perfect Bra. I would suggest checking it out if you are up for it. I actually like it better than the 2 VS bras I recently bought. I think I had found some that fit good at Kohl's too.
That's as far as I've gotten with Bra shopping, so good luck! Hope you find something good!

**4 weeks Post Op**
So yesterday I couldn't take it anymore and since I feel super good, I decided to go to the gym. I was surprised on how much I could do!! It felt great to be back. I've missed that place so much!! It's filled with so much motivation and great people. Not an ordinary gym at all!!
Exercises I could do with no discomfort at all...
*jog/run
*burpees
*mountain climber
*planks
*cruches
*superman
*squats
*kicks
*bear crawls
*variety of leg workouts
Exercises that I could not do. Not because of pain, but because it felt uncomfortable and I didn't want to hurt anything since I am working out earlier than the PS suggested.
*sprints
*hops
*jumping jacks
*high knees
*any jumping at all
I'm going back tomorrow to try my fight conditioning/kickboxing class. It's usually a bit harder than the regular workouts. The worst part was my lungs and being out of breathe etc. Not working out for awhile takes its toll. lol

WOW!!! Yes you progression is AMAZING!! Iwish mine would drop so nice like yours. i feel like my right is so highhhh... Ive been running this past week at 3 weeks and such... you look like your healing wicked quick like me ... did you ask your PS if you can go do stuff already? Mine said im fine as long as nothing HURTS while doing it ;) Feels weird on somethings but def doesnt HURT
July 19, 2012
Well...no...I didn't ask him because I already know what he will say. Absolutely no working out until 6 weeks. i just can't do it. At work I'm sweating like crazy and had to lift and move stuff, so I figured what the heck, I might as well try to work out. lol. My right one is still a little bit high as well, but I figured since it doesn't hurt it will be okay. I usually do 1:1's with a personal trainer as well, where we focus a lot more with weights. I figured I'd wait on that at 6 weeks. The other stuff, I'm just doing about 2-3 days a week for right now, so I'm not being that bad, right? lol. It's funny how all doctors say something different. Some 2 weeks, some 4 weeks, some 6 weeks. I feel very guilty though bc I totally trust my ps and I think he is amazing and I would die if I messed up his work...yikes...

Your boobs look gorgeous. Great results doll.

You look great! I cant believe the hubbs thinks they look too big! Congrats on the twins!
July 26, 2012
I know right?! I think he loves them, just thinks they are too big for other people to be looking at. lol. I wear the same shirts as I've always worn, but now he says the shirts are too small. ha. He's silly.

oh- haha!
Funny!! I got it now!
My hubby went the other way.
We went out to a comedy show one night and he was like "that guy was totally checking you out"
He likes that because he feels like "yeah, i know I know she looks good..and she's with me! lol
Guys are so funny.....

Omgosh yes trying on clothes is my new hobby lol and bathing suit tops look so amazing! I haven't been to the beach or pool yet but, I'm dieing to go! I'm just paranoid my boobs will get sunburnt since they are so sensitive to everything. I started using bio oil on them to help prevent stretch marks and I broke out horribly. It's clearing up now tho :) My PS cleared me to work out last week but, I feel it's too soon I still get achy sometimes especially in my right boob it has been a grouch since day one! I'd deff wait for your ps to clear you to exercise...I don't think just walking is a prob tho as long as your not doing any upper body exercise you should be fine. Your new pics look great you have perfect cleavage already! Lucky!
I ended up getting two 36C Wireless Body by Victoria bra to wear until I reach the three month mark before wasting all of my money. I've dropped a little bit more since purchasing the bra and the 36 C fits so much better then when I first tried it on. Another thing I have to remind myself when shopping for bras is that every store/brand is different. It's just like trying on a pair of jeans. Not every size 6 is going to be the same.
