3 weeks out

Feeling like a part of me!! Still sore much of the time, major nipple sensitivity.. but softening, gaining mobility within the pocket, and dropping slightly.. hitting it hard with massage.

The constipation is real.

Day 5 is here, and I woke up feeling more like my old self. Less pain at the top of my breasts, which have in fact begun to soften quite a bit. My nipples are numb, not in pain necessarily. The most pain in my chest area to report is on the bottom of my breasts, which are bruised, and along the incision line, which is a change from the first days post op, when I couldn't even feel that area..
day 5 is also known as the day I spent 40 painful minutes trying to poop, only to finally succeed upon using 3 doses of my toddlers suppositories. This was quite an ordeal, very painful, and my advice to those undergoing BA is to have laxatives on hand.

Yesterday was foggy

Today is day 4.. my rough day hit me yesterday, just groggy, feeling rough and sort of regretting not going a smidge bigger.. I'm going through a divorce (no way can I subject a new man to the aftermath of my breasts from childbirth), & I don't really want to catch a new man who is drawn to me just for having big [RS bleep]. Plus, if I get pregnant again someday, I will have space to go bigger after they get stretched out again..
overall, I'm feeling so happy with the new look. They are riding high of course, but look healthy. Little concerned about the scars; gauze was removed by Dr on 2nd day, but I'm smearing with Neosporin and covering with fresh gauze daily.. my young son has jumped on me a few times today which isn't overly painful but probably not great for recovery.
Do my scars look scary at this point?
