Sizing at VS
momoftwo83January 10, 2014
Tried on bras today at VS. I swear they make their bras so the size says its bigger than you really are. I am a 32DD or 34D. Although 34 is a little too big. I can't wait to start wearing pretty bra sets!!
I want to go get sized at a few other places. I'm thinking all other places will put me at a 34C or D.

5 Week Mark
momoftwo83January 10, 2014
Can't believe I'm finally at 5 weeks. I feel pretty much back to normal. I don't have any pain unless I sneeze. My stomach is still a little swollen and will go down even more which I am excited about. My boobs also dropped. They look smaller but I am happy. I have been going to the gym and walking 3+ miles 4x a week. It's too cold to walk outside. Still no weights yet. I left my binder off most of the morning which felt so good!! I love how I feel normal again
As far as my weight I am low. I am around 118. It's weird how the body can fluctuate so much depending on swelling and water. I am trying not to weight myself too often because of that. I know I am losing more muscle which excites me to start working out with weights next week. I feel ready. Been trying to stretch to prepare myself.
My scar is still red but I can tell its fading. I have been keeping up with the Mederma every morning and night. I can tell it has made a difference but I have a lot way to go. I plan on providing another update next Friday after I talk to my doctor!!! Hope everyone is enjoying their recoveries!!

Are you using anything else besides merderma for your scars. You look great. I think we are the same size wise, but I am in week 3 and swell up at the end of the day.

Hi!! I have been just using Mederma. I have some bio oil that I may throw on in the afternoon. Don't worry about the swelling. Mine gets worse at night and at 3 weeks I was so swollen at night. It gets better every week. What type of binder are you wearing?

I am just using spanx. The binder I got in the hospital is too big to be worn tightly. What are your feelings on silicone sheets? That is what my ps told me to get. Are you using the prescription mederma?

My doctor didn't advise me to wear the strips. That is his philosophy. I'm sure every surgeon is different. My friend had them during healing and her scar is wonderful, thin, and white. I just bought the large Mederma at target.

4 week update
momoftwo83January 1, 2014
Not much change over the last week. I am very used to my body now. Sometimes I feel like I went small with my boobs because no one can tell I got them (since I wore padded bras all the time). But then I remember that is the whole point. I don't want people to know!!
My weight is a little up since I have been a piggy the last week. By body fat is up. I can't wait to start lifting weight again! Lets see what I can do. I am start to see definition in my abs which is great!! Recovery has been great. Sleeping on my side is the most comfortable. I have been trying to walk everyday. Still super happy I made this decision. Love love my doctor too!!

Still looking great! It is very inspiring to hear you doing so well. I seem to have hit a wall today at 2 days post op. I think your boobs are the perfect size for you frame.
