Two weeks post op and feeling a little unsure
Hello all,
I am a few days past two weeks post op and I am feeling a little unsure about my size. I am beginning to think that I am too big. I am hoping that I will drop more and become softer and more natural looking as time goes on but right now my breasts are still riding high and look very unnatural. My head looks smaller on my body cus my boobs look so big! I am not experiencing boobie blues or buyers remorse it is just so strange to see myself with a figure. I had a very unfortunate experience last week with a friend of mine whom I haven't seen in many years. She had her BA 6 years ago and had had a revision as well. She was "trying to help me" by being "honest". She told me that my boobs were too big for my body and that women were going to hate me because I have this figure now, and be prepared to lose friends over it. I admit that at this point my breasts look unnatural like I have implants and I know from my own experience of feeling pangs of envy seeing other women with a luscious shape so I get it, but wow, I am feeling self conscience about it now, which is the opposite of why I did this in the first place. Ironically no one else has commented as I have been able to wear clothes that do not draw attention. My recovery has been easier then I expected and I am still satisfied with my experience how well they turned out, I could use some non judgmental feedback though.

One week post op today!
Hello!
Well today marks one week since my BA surgery and I am starting to feel a lot better. I am sleeping mostly through the night although I am still waking up with back pain and general discomfort. I have been off my pain meds since day 4 which I am happy about. I think the pain meds were causing my constant nausea. I had my first post op appt with Dr. Elyassnia and he said I was looking good and healing properly. I just cannot say enough about his caring professionalism and mastery. I highly recommend him. My breast size, shape and symmetry are absolutely perfect.
I realize that there is still quite a bit of healing and recovery to go and it is nice that this will be my journey into healing and wholeness for some time. I feel good that this BA has nudged me towards a healthier mind set in regards to my self care and confidence. So next hurdle is what to say/do about seeing family and friends who don't know for the first time? It is obvious I have blossomed but the thing is is I am an extremely private and somewhat shy person and I am worried about how to deal with peoples comments. This is kind of stressing me out. I have to laugh at myself because I bought a pretty, gauzy infinity scarf thinking that I can cover it up and buy myself some time till they drop and settle....My man and I had a laugh over it cause it draws even more attention to my chest!! OH! what to do?

Morning all...Day 4 starting to feel a bit better.
Today is day four. Yesterday was the dreaded day three. I felt so sore, achy, tired, and nauseous. I slept a little better last night. I still woke up a lot and like the night before, I woke up with the urgency of having to throw up. I rushed into the bathroom but managed to keep it down ( I hate throwing up!)
I have been drinking fresh ginger tea eating ginger candies, using my healing essential oils which are all helping but I think it is the antibiotics because I stopped taking pain meds yesterday morning and have only taken a few extra strength ibuprofens. Having anesthesia still in my body may be contributing to the tiredness. My breasts are still swollen but the swelling is coming down some and I am starting to see how absolutely perfect my end result will be.
I can lift my arms over my head but it is weird to see my pectoralis minor kinda floppy. Being a dancer and a massage therapist this muscle has always been super taut, but that is the amazing thing about the body and muscles is that they can repair and become even stronger! When I lifted both arms over my head my boobies became really round and pretty! Now that is something that has never seen on myself before! Yay for pretty boobies!
