Happy New year! 3 months update
Finally 2016! Wahooo!
Everything has been going great! I feel like I'm fully healed and feel normal.
Scars are improving. I use cocoa butter with vitamin e to keep them moistureized as I notice when my scars get dry they tend to get tender and hurt a little and/or itch. Nothing too major, it's just an annoying feeling. Being African- American I did develop a keloid on my right boob. And some of the scars have risen. I still don't care how they look. I've never been so confident.
I bought my first Victoria secret bra the other day! I was ecstatic! It's wireless so it does not irritate my scars and super comfy. I tried on all sorts of sizes and I could fit 36C comfortably. I did fit into a D with a little room in the cups though.
It's an awesome feeling to be able to walk into a clothing store and know for a fact you can fit anything shirt and it'll look good:)
Btw going bra-less is AMAZING!!! I wore a cute crop top the other day and didn't have to wear a bra and my friends total thought I had a strapless bra on cause my boobs were so perky ha!
I still have sensation in my left nipple and still no sensation in my right. BUT I would get these stinging shocks that last for like 5 seconds in my right nipple, then my nipple goes back to no feeling. It's wierd lol but I know it's normal.
I sleep on my sides comfortably now. Still not on my stomach though.
Working out is amazing! Running and cardio is so much better!! But a good cardio sports bra is good to have because it is very uncomfortable for your boobs to go up and down.
My biggest concern right now at 3 months post, I'm terrified of my boobs getting bigger. I always have to look at my old pictures to reassure myself that they are not big like that anymore. I do feel like they've gotten slightly bigger since surgery but I can't tell.
Umm please let me know of anymore questions and I really hope I have helped some of y'all out there to make this incredible decision. Again, it's so worth it!!!

1 Month/6 weeks update!
Hello everyone!
I am 6 weeks post and everything has been great!! Just been adjusting to my new lifestyle with smaller boobs.
Still best decision ever! I havnt had any back pain since my surgery, I no longer feel heaviness on my chest.
I did have an infection scare about 2 weeks ago. My incinsion was red and was causing so much pain. I called my PS right away. I went in and it was no infection. It was just leftover sutures that was irritating my skin. The nurse took them out and the pain was gone the next day. Although there was some leftover sutures/stitches on my incision , I'll take that any day over an infection.
I believe I'm healing great! The scabs are still there but I massage them twice a day and each time I see them fall off on thier own. I did have a couple of scabs that feel off and I had small openings. I put antibacterial cream on them and they healed on their own.
My nipples/areoles seem to be a little different sized from one another but it doesn't bother me not one bit.
I'm sick and tired of sleeping on my back. I've tried sleeping on my side but I woke up so stiff and uncomfortable. I do sleep kinda slanted to the side which does help though.
I got cleared to begin working out at 4 weeks but I felt like that was too early for me so I began working out this week as I feel completely normal.
I had fun at target the other day and tried on bra's. I know your not suppose to until like 6 months but seriously who could wait that long to try on bras? I ended up fitting comfortably in a 38B and 36C!!! Talk about amazing! I know the size will change over time but it's nice to just see where your at.
One thing I havnt heard anybody talk about yet was how your boobs react to your menstrual cycle. Holy [RS bleep] were my boobs sore and swollen! Felt like I was at week 1 again(pain wise). Ugh I hope that's just a one time thing.
I love my new boobs though. I know I keep saying that but honestly I do. Even with my scars and everything. It was well worth it. My confedince has sky rocketed. I feel like my face is not hidden behind my pre post breast. I love my new body.
Again, anybody that is thinking about this should just do it. It's now or never.
Happy healing everyone!

3 week update
So I had an appointment today with my PS to get the remaining stitches out and tape off. He said I am healing great. I return to work in 3 days which I am so excited about. I miss having a set schedule.
I did have a small opening on my left breast near my nipple. Not too worried about it cause my PS said its nothing to worry about and he put I believe "Sugical glue" to help close it up and the glue will peel off in 5-10 days.
My PS said I can start working out in a week. I'm still swollen and a little sore but nothing to complain about.
I still sleep on my back which is a pain. I still can't sleep all the way thru the night without waking up. I can slightly go to my side though but not for long.
Now onto scar treatments. I'm going to try "Scar away silicone gel". So let's see how that goes.
Overall I'm in love with my new body! I can't wait to get my 6 pack back and workout without back pain.
I don't have to see my PS for another 6 months.
I'm so excited to start this new journey in my life!
Happy healing to everyone and if you're thinking about the surgery, it is soooooo worth it!
