Watching my boob progress is like watching water boil! Trying to not get obsessed with the drop & fluff process BC I know I have a LONG ways to go. My sisters came over and were checking out my pics from day 1 to now and they noticed a huge change. Less square, my left boob is starting to round out while my right one is still higher. I am right handed so that would make sense! I definitely feel like the massaging as helped. I started wearing my strap over my shirt at night since my rashes have gotten much better.
Did over an hour of walking on the treadmill yesterday! Amazing what those endorphins can do for you! I kept it at speed 2 with the incline at 5 and my heart rate hovering between 90 to 112. So happy I have my rate monitor with the chest strap as the readers on the machines are inaccurate. Going to try to hit the treadmill again. Maybe for a little bit longer today!
My scars are getting better. Residue is starting to come off and there is a little scab on one. They are slightly raised so I'm adding a little pressure when cleaning them to break up the scar tissue. Probably add the scarAway strips today after my shower.
Heading back to my nanny job today after almost 2 weeks off. Hopefully it'll be an easy day. I do a lot of driving back and forth so I'm pretty nervous about that. But it will be good to get back to work! All this time home, I've been online shopping! So hard not to with new boobs!!
Tried on all my old bikinis and let's just say some are definitely questionable but look so much better with boobs!! Once I've dropped and fluffed, I will post some before and afters! Also, found some old bralettes that were too big that I was going to donate but now they fit!! And they are much more comfortable than the ones I just bought. Wish I remembered I had them sooner! I bought a lace bralette and wireless front clasp sports bra from VS during the first week of surgery were slightly too tight then but now are fitting much better. The swelling must have gone down which I am happy about. I am still icing and using arnica gel daily and coconut oil to help keep them moisturized. Fingers crossed for no stretch marks!!!!
Hope my first day back to work goes smoothly! Not sure if they mentioned anything specific to the kids about my surgery. They know I was having surgery though so it'll interesting to see how the day goes. Hopefully not awkward! Hahaha
Happy Monday! xo

Week Post OP update
Can't believe it's been over a week since I had my surgery!!! I seriously just love having boobs even though they are still very high and tight. My PS said I had really good chest muscles so it was going too take some time for them to release but she wanted me to start massaging them. I found that it's more comfortable in the shower with the hot water running down them but I'm going to try to do it as much as I can. Mexico in December so I need these babies to look on point in a bikini! Hahaha! She removed my stitches and I'm so happy with how small my incisions are. The steri strips left quite a bit of residue so I've been trying to gently get it off before I apply my scarAway strips. She said that I should use those to help flatten and diminish the scar. I know I probably will have a scar since I scar pretty easily but whatever I can do to help minimize them, I'll try! I am 100% certain they will be hidden under my crease!! Yay! She said everything looks great and will see me in a month!
She gave me the okay to start lower body but said no lifting yet and to not do any ab work. But to listen to my body and make sure that I don't overdo it. Trust me, I teach 36 classes a month on top of my own workouts 6x/week! This break is definitely nice. I'll probably start using the dreaded treadmill next week. And back on better eating after this weekend! I gained about 5 pounds since surgery but she reminded me that the implants are probably 2 pounds! Good to know!! Your body actually works a lot harder when you're healing so totally not worried about it!
Sleep is getting better. Still sleeping upright. Haven't had a bad case of morning boob yet since I still try to ice them off and on through the night. They are definitely much more sore and tender this morning since I drove all day and had to start massaging. I took an extra day off to allow myself more time to regain my energy and just relax!
I'm still taking Aleve in the morning and evening to help with some of the discomfort. Hoping that I will be able to just do the evening dose. Rashes are getting better and I'm hoping that I can try to start wearing the strap again over my shirt at night! I just want them to drop already! The struggle is real! Such a waiting game! But I'm so happy with my results already! Life is just better with boobs! Happy Friday!

Week 1!
I realized I tried writing the last post when it was day 5 but then forgot about it and it posted it today which is actually one week!
Recovery has been pretty easy since day 2. Pain has subsided and I'm completely off my pain meds and muscle relaxants. I tried taking Tylenol extra strength but it wasn't helping much so I switched over to Aleve which has helped tremendously!
I was told that I didn't have to wear the surgical bra or strap but decided to wear the strap at night to help accelerate the drop process! I actually started breaking out in a rash BC of it which took me awhile to figure it out since I was on so many meds I thought it was from the Percoset as that could be a side effect. Also, didn't realize that acetaminophen can cause a skin rash and you're not supposed to take Tylenol PM with any other acetaminophen products which I was doing. Was able to see my primary doctor and dermatologist and turns out to be contact dermatitis from the strap/bra. Was given a topical ointment to apply twice a day and have to take an oral allergy pill in the morning and night to relieve the rash and itchiness! Going to take a break from the strap though. Hopefully gravity will do its job and help drop these babies down.
My boyfriend had to go back home and he has been a godsend during this process! I don't think I could've made it without him. So having him leave today has been really emotional for me! ????????????
I've been able to get out every day since day 2 so that's been nice! Thought I was going to be bedridden for much longer than I have been but I think getting out has helped me recover. Haven't dealt with any boobie Blues or mood swings from the meds so pretty thankful for that! Made a few visits to VS to get bras to wear but haven't found one that is comfortable since I'm still swollen. I bought a wireless front zip bra in a 34C that I had to exchange for a 34D! ???? also bought a few soft bras from tjmaxx but have some difficulty getting them over my head so have resorted to bralettes. I find myself wanting to buy all the bras and I just need to refrain since I still don't know what size I'll end up being! Happy if I end up being a 32C/D!
