2 weeks post op and feeling so much better!
WORTH IT
I am so grateful for the real self community. I posted my last update during a moment of weakness and hearing that what I was feeling was normal made me feel so much better! Thank you ladies. I'm now 2 weeks post op and feeling great. I haven't had much pain in general but I feel like my energy has returned. I was cleared to slowly increase my activity levels and start doing chores around the house. Worked out for the first time in weeks this morning and it felt great. My tape was removed yesterday and seeing my incisions was a little surprising! They look great, very thin, but I was so used to seeing the tape that it feels like a big change. My breasts are still very firm. One feels a little higher than the other and isn't quite as round so I have been massaging a little more aggressively on that side. Overall just so pleased with my results and so happy that the recovery was as easy as it was.

8 DPO and feeling down
Today marks 8 days with my new breasts and I'm feeling regretful. While I'm lucky to not have pain anymore I'm feeling so frustrated not being able to do everything. I have a 2 year old I can't pick up, a floor I can't mop, a rug I can't vacuum. I stay at home with my kids so I feel like keeping a clean house is a big part of my job and I can't do it right now. My breasts fee huge and hard. Most of my shirts don't fit the few that do make it so obvious that they are fake. I thought I hated my small, saggy breasts but right now I'm wondering if I made a bad decision.

I'm sure you will feel a lot better when you can do all your normal activities and they start to soften up! I'm 4 days post op and loving mine, but do wish I could just be done healing now too!! Hang in there!

Thank you for your comment! I think I posted this in a down moment. I'm feeling a lot better now. This is such a roller coaster!

Hi there,
I had a lift and implants, and like you I went through a down period too.
What I wasn't told prior to op that this is very normal. Remember the baby blues, day 3 after giving birth. Well that was me. I cried, felt so frustrated and depressed as I put on weight during that time of healing. I went through "OMG what have I done.
5 months post op. I love my new boobs but at times still have doubts. Yes they are fuller, but I can't wear any of my old clothes. My shape is different and I still think they are too big for my body.
Anyway,give yourself more time to adjust.
I am sure you will be feeling 100 % better when you canmovearound more.

Thank you for commenting! Yes I know it's normal, it's passed now but I'm sure I will have more ups and downs. This is so much like the fluctuations after giving birth, you are right. I think the pain medication definitely affects my moods as well.

You are still so early in your recovery! You need to give yourself the down time to heal and recover. At 2 weeks post-op, you will be feeling better and able to do more housework. I'm a single Mom with two kids and I work full-time. I took about a week of then headed back to work. Emotional highs and lows are part of the recovery process and my doctors office even provided a graphic chart to show the swelling, pain, and mood changes over the first two weeks. LoL
You will love your results! I have noticed so much change in mine from month one to month two. It's a process. :) You still have a considerable amount of swelling that will subside and lots of settling and dropping that will occur in the next month. Be patient and hang in there. :) At one month, you will love them and feel so much better. At 6-8 weeks you can resume all your normal activities. It gets better every day! :)

Thank you so much for your comment. The chart sounds so helpful! I'm feeling a lot better today. I didn't expect the ups and downs so this took me by surprise. I know once I'm cleared to exercise and do all my normal stuff I will feel back to normal. I miss the endorphins from working out! Thanks again for taking the time to comment, it really made me feel better.

Well I made it through surgery. I was extremely nervous and worried about going under. Sometimes I think doing too much research can be a bad thing! My husband has been doing an awesome job taking care of me and the kids. I feel a lot better than I thought I would! The day of surgery was rough but I woke up the next day feeing much much better. I'm able to move around, take a shower, I even went to my in laws yesterday to watch my kids swim. My breasts look fantastic! I couldn't be happier. They are still high and very very tight but I know that's normal. Attaching a before/after. Hope everyone is healing well!
