19 days post op and I'm feeling good! Bought 2...

WORTH IT
19 days post op and I'm feeling good! Bought 2 bras yesterday from Walmart a Genie bra ($9) and a Fruit of the loom comfort front-close sports bra (9.95) and they fit so good. I'm amazed at the fact that i can now actually buy bras under $10! I'm so used to paying $30+. On another note, my healing has been absolutely amazing thusfar. The few people that have seen me since the surgery compliment me on how good I look and it makes me feel great. I also got a ton of scrub tops from one of my fabulous co-workers and I have gone from wearing a tight fitting 1x down to a Medium at the lowest and I actually cried when trying them on lol! I'm so glad I went through with this surgery! Uploading a few comparison pics tonight. More to come soon!

Post op day 10! Feeling so much better today!...
Shaybay28April 18, 2013
Post op day 10! Feeling so much better today! Still some swelling but it is gradually subsiding. My FNG are coming along. I see the pinkness when i change my dressings and that's a good sign. Ive been stretching my arms to ease out some of the stifness and get my range of motion going. Not overdoing it though. I also tried on some of my old clothes and i felt so overjoyed because not that long ago i was literally spilling out of everything. Now its either too big or fits just right. I did have the blues for a while but ive shaken it off. I know i made the right choice. Better days ahead :)

Drains were removed today and i feel SOOO MUCH...
Shaybay28April 12, 2013
Drains were removed today and i feel SOOO MUCH BETTER!!!! It hurt like all hell when they got pulled out but honey when i tell you the discomfort is gone! Only took 2 extra strength Tylenol today due to leg cramping from being in the recliner. Other than that im okay. PS says my right side is a little more swollen than the left so he wants to see me again Monday. I got a look at the girls and from my view, they were not cute but its a mind thing. Ive got to get past all the dried blood and cuts, etc. Got a look at my FNG and they look good hopefully, they'll stay that way. Still no bra for a awhile but i was told i can wear camisoles. Dressing changes everyday and have to apply Bacitracin and mesh to my FNG and the openings where the drains were. But im doing okay today :) Only up from here.

Get you some stool softeners called Colace. Every time you take a Percocet, take two Colace with a full glass of water. Also make sure you are eating fresh pineapple everyday to help with swelling. there is a chemical in pineapple (Bromelin) that helps reduce swelling.
