Recovery time...........

I am 2 weeks PO..... Yesterday I got my drain and stiches removed, soooo happy about that! Can't really complain about anything, OTHER then the lovely swelling. I wont even post a side view pic because it's ridiculous. The nurse told me yesterday the hardest part of recovery is waiting. Next Wed, I am going to have the ultrasound done to help with the swelling, I knew this would b an issue for me, it has my whole life. I have been wearing a maxi skirt for like 2 weeks now, just not comfortable in my clothes yet. I am excited to shop for a dress next week to wear to a wedding in Carmel, although I may not be in a smaller size yet, My shape is so much better. Under my right boob is way more swollen then the left, gonna talk with Doc about this, I hope it will all b ok. I hope everyone is happy and doing well! I am posting my 2 week pic also.

10 days PO. WOW! I am thinking I should NOT have stepped on the scale! I am 10lbs heavier then before surgery! I really really hope it's all swelling, I was expecting to be about the same weight, not heavier. Crazy! I swear I should have a nursing baby or something, I get the feeling off and on all day of that engorged your milks here and leaking, I have actually checked several times to make sure I am not leaking....so weird! I am feeling better today, besides the scale scare. Happy to b one day further into recovery.

Has any one ever had "burning mouth syndrome" from getting dry mouth because of pain meds or possible trauma to inside of mouth from the local anesthesia?? I love spicy food! Ever since surgery I haven't been able to eat anything spicy, when I went to brush my teeth I felt like I was using acid to clean them! Hurts so bad!
