Today it's been 2 months since I had my surgery. It's gone by so fast, I can't believe it's already 2 months post-op. Most of the time I'm very happy, but occasionally I have doubts about the size I selected etc. I am now back to doing all of the workouts I did before, but some of them I still modify- yoga, push-ups on knees, lighter weight for chest press and tricep extensions/presses. When I'm working out and not able to do what I did before I get very frustrated, but I'm hoping that in time I'll be able to push myself like I did prior to surgery. I finally got the go ahead from my surgeon to wear regular bras, as my implants are pretty much exactly where he wants them, and I'm now wearing a 32DD or 30DDD- I do not know how that happened! I will say that for anyone telling their surgeons that they wanted to be a certain size- don't do it; show them pictures instead. If you had told me that after surgery I would be a 32DD, I would have canceled the surgery! I chose a modest implant and I was terrified of the size. Now, when I look at my chest, I think I have average size breasts that fit my frame; I think they look believable. I'm still hoping for more fluffing, and to start loving them 100% of the time, but I'm happy with the progress I've made so far.

Things seem to be moving their way down to where they're supposed to be, but I still have a ways to go. Can't wait!! Tried on my first sports bra (needed something for high impact, who knew you needed to have support for your breasts??) and in the UA high impact bra the 32D and 34C are tight, so tight that I needed help pulling them off my head. Is this how high impact bras fit or am I bigger than those sizes? I still need to get sized but Ive put it off until things have settled. Has anyone found that the at home measuring systems are accurate?

If the bra is very tight, imagine getting a little breathless from a workout... It will hurt to breathe! I think those bras you tried on are probably too small.
I personally had no luck with sizing at VS or Nordstrom. They were both wrong, meaning the size they gave me was way off from what actually fit me. Online the only website that corresponded for me was Nike.

Looking good chica!! Seeing lots of progress. Unfortunately I havent tried on any high impact sports bras yet but I can definitely see them being a little tighter than normal. Have you been sizes or anything? Its so dofficult buying bras in this interim period. I never know if I'm wasting my money on a bra that wont fit :/ Let us know how it goes with the sports bra. I havent tried any high impact running just yet.

No, I haven't been sized, I told myself I would wait until my PS gives me the green light. I measured myself and I keep getting a C or D but that's hard for me to believe. My 36 C nursing bra fits perfectly; but maybe if they measured me professionally they'd get a different result :) Just ordered 3 more from Athleta, I'll let you know how they work out.
