Can't believe I'm two weeks post op!! My recovery is going good and my scars have a few scabs on them. I'll include pictures. I have a few hard lumpy areas that I've been concerned about did anyone else have that? I'm feeling better everyday and am sleeping so much better because I'm now able to sleep on my side which made a huge difference on my quality of sleep. Still need to take a nap in the afternoon but starting to feel stronger. I'm loving how my tops fit now! I go back to work in a week and hope I handle the 8 hour shifts ok by then but I'm gonna think positive..

More tired today and feeling swollen and tight :(
emilysmom06December 10, 2016
Thought I was doing great but guess I was to active in the house today. Feeling real swollen and real tight in my chest. Texted my doctor and he said increased activity will cause that. Also having a very very hard time sleeping on my back ..

Glad your on this side and recovering, I'm 8 weeks post and I feel wonderful, but I have to admit it took some time not to over due swells every time. You just really learn to watch yourself. Sleeping on my side finally helped but the wedge pillow helped me at first with a pillow under my knees I used to sleep on my tummy but haven't yet :) Congratulations on getting it done you look great !

Thank you! Yes if could sleep on my side I'd get more quality sleep and would feel better. I don't have a wedge pillow. How long was before you could go back to sleeping on your side?

It's taken quite awhile I have to say only been doing it a little over a week and have to be careful because I love to sleep on my tummy and could roll right on over:) So week wise I'd say six to seven weeks post. I'm really starting to feel normal again if that's the right word to use because we're not the same ever, but I can actually not think about my tenderness in my breast for longer lengths of time which has been so nice to be free from that discomfort and worry. Happy healing and restful nights.

Aw thank you and that's exactly how I feel. You described but perfectly. I'm slowly starting to feel more normal and will be so glad when I'm completely healed and not thinking of them all the time!! :)

Hi Emilysmom06
How are you feeling now, and did you take your daughter to see The Nutcracker yet?

Had my first post op and he said everything is looking great. Finally got the tight wrapping off and in a nice comfy sports bra! I'm loving my new smaller size so much!! My mobility and energy is a lot better than I expected and I'm so glad for that..:)

So glad that all went well and you are feeling better than you expected. Please continue to take it easy! My PS says that most problems come from people feeling so happy and relieved that they overdo it. I took 2 weeks off work and did virtually nothing at first, and day 11 and day 12 were the most uncomfortable days of all. Still not bad, but I think a sign to go back to doing less. Enjoy your time off and your new you!
