12 Weeks Post-Op. Bra Shopping

I had my 12 week appointment and everything seems to be healing well. My surgeon confirmed the weird pings and raw skin sensations were the nerves healing so that's good. It's also subsided quite a bit since last week.
He also told me to get some bras with more support so I decided to do a little shopping this weekend. Last time I went to Victoria Secret they told me I was a 32DDD. It's been a while ago and I thought surely I was still swollen and that I'd measure smaller now (plus I had heard their bras run small). I went to Dillard's and started trying on C and D cups, but nothing fit. I decided to have one of the girls there measure me. She also measured me at a 32DDD! It's weird because when I'm dressed they don't look big at all so I think that's why I was so surprised. She laughed when she saw I was shocked and said, "Well, you have some big girls there." She helped me find a couple good basic bras that I think will work well. I also went and bought one from Victoria Secret. I tried on several, but most of the ones with wires dug in under my breasts and were uncomfortable. They were cute, but I don't think I could of went all day wearing one. There was one 34DD I could fit into so I guess I'm between a double and triple D. They don't carry the Body by Victoria bra in my size at the store I went to so I ordered a couple online. Im hoping they'll be in later this week.
With all the bra trying on I got a little bit of a red blotchy spot between my breasts (not on the breasts). I don't know if one I tried on irritated my skin or if it's a sort of heat rash. It's been warm here and for the first time in my life I've been experiencing boob sweat the last couple months so it could also be that?? It's not bad. It doesn't really itch and the skin is a normal temperature. It just looks a little red and feels kind of bumpy. I'll keep an eye on it and call my doctor if I need to.
All and all I'm extremely happy. It's also weird how I went into the whole thing thinking there was no way I wanted to be bigger than a full C, small D and here I am. I'm glad I focused on how the sizers looked on my frame and didn't obsess over the cup size. When dressed, they look proportional to my frame and I'm happy with my results. They look big when I'm undressed, but I like how they look smaller when I have clothes on. I feel more confident when I go clothes shopping and I have to admit it was fun pulling out that 32DDD drawer at Victoria Secret. ;)
Also I wanted to share that my husband LOVES the new boobs. It's crazy to think about how against it he was at first. He's done a complete 180 and is so happy I did it. He sees how confident I am now and I think that makes him really happy knowing that I feel better about myself. I read where a lot of women on here have husbands who are against it, but please don't lose faith. My husband was adamantly against it and it took several long conversations and a couple years to get him on board with the idea. They will come around, I promise. Just make sure you are doing it for you and you alone.
With all that said, I'm probably going to take a few weeks break from Real Self. I'm having eye surgery on Tuesday to correct double vision issues I've been struggling with and I'll have to rest my eyes for a little while. It wasn't something I was planning on doing this year, but life happens and I know it will help tremendously once it's done. Hopefully I'll be back in a few weeks. :)

11 Weeks - Nerve Pain?

Today is eleven weeks and I've been having what I can only assume is nerve pain. It's not bad, it's just a little annoying. Since surgery the lower part of my breast has had that pins and needles feeling. I thought the nerves were just a little freaked out and I didn't really notice it all that much. Late last week the skin in that area and around my incisions felt raw. When I looked at the skin and incisions everything looked great, no redness, no irritation, nothing. So I just thought it was the nerves healing and didn't put much thought into it. The skin still kind of feels raw (even though it's not), but now there's little pings of dull and sharp pain. At times I feel the pain right under my breasts in my ribs, other times it's kind of between my breasts (low) and feels like a burning feeling (kind of like heartburn, but different). It's not super painful, but it is a little unnerving. I will admit I'm still a little paranoid something could go wrong. They look so good and everything has went so smoothly that the paranoid pessimistic side of me starts to creep in from time to time. I have a follow up appointment with my doctor on Monday, but I might just call tomorrow and talk to his nurse so I can put my mind at ease for the weekend. Has anyone else experienced this?

Also, I added a photo of my progress. I'm so happy with how natural they feel and look. Now I just need to get back in shape. I used the surgery as an excuse to be lazy and got out of the habit of exercising. I'm good about it once I get in the habit, but once I stop, I can be so lazy! ;)
