22 yr old Reduced from 36H to 36D

So it has been a few months since I last updated, I've healed nicely, started going on walks every day and now I'm working on getting strength back in my arms since I wasn't allowed to pick up anything over 10lbs for so long (though it was fun to get out of having to vacuum there).

I measured my self a few days ago and my band size is a 36" and my bust size is loosely 39" so that makes my a 36D which honestly I'm very happy about.

I've lost 46lbs since June and now that I've got this weight off my chest (hehehehe) I've started to be able to really exercise like I've wanted to!
Im doing things I never thought I could do without having a massive amount of pain, I've started doing Yoga for balance and flexibility, since my whole body has changed I'm having to relearn how to really balance myself and this is helping immensely! Its hard to believe how good I feel, and how good I feel about myself when I go shopping for cute tops that actually fit my body and not just my boobs!

So what Im doing now is working on making my goal of getting down to 135-140LBS, I'm currently at 147LBS so only a little bit left! I go back for my next follow up on the 9th where hopefully my doctor will ok me to start doing some jogging. I will also be seeing Alton Brown that night in is LIVE! tour which I am positively excited for, because he is awesome.

I am using a scar therapy gel every day because I tend to scar dark and they stay dark for a long time before turning white, so I'm trying to help that process along.

Bye!

Forgot the right side and underside of todays, so I'm just gonna put those here

So, on around the 21st, the day after it took those photos on the post before this one, this happened....On my right nipple the incisions separated under the steri strips and pulled apart revealing the tissue underneath. I Freaked. Well I didn't actually freak out but I tensed up so bad that day my shoulders started locking up. I was worried that any wrong move would do more damage, I know that incision split commonly, but they are more common along the underside of the breast because of pressure and what not. I called my doctor and because I live 1 1/2 hours away he had me text a picture of the split (looked different than the photos because these photos were after a cleaned it and removed the steri stripes) he told me to take a shower, gently wash with dial soap, clean it out with peroxide and put Neosporin and ban aids on it. My doctor is so wonderful, I had my 2nd post op scheduled for today, the 25th of november, this split happened on friday the 21st and instead of making me wait and having me stressed the whole time asked me to come in the next day, saturday, so he could look at it and apologized to me that this happened and wanted to make sure this was taken care of and that i was happy and offered to do a revision if it was going to scar terribly. I cannot tell you all what it meant to me that he was so genuinely concerned and wanted to see me immediately and make sure everything was okay.
I don't know what would have happened had I had to wait until tuesday, but judging by the stiffness of my shoulders and back by the end of the day Friday, I probably wouldn't have made it.
We went in the next morning and he had a look at it, and besides from the very bottom part where the nipple meets the incision line which he said was struggling, everything looks good and should heal very well. Which was great to hear and I could finally relax, which is when we decided to go shopping and get that bra and some brelettes from victoria secret in celebration. He also took those terrible itchy steristrips off completely and told me to put bacitracin along the incision lines to soften them and help them heal, and he pulled away some of the sutures that had made their way to the surface.

I've now rescheduled my appointment to the first week of December. I can't wait for thanksgiving, and I'll keep you all updated with weekly posts (hopefully).

Also, after the steri strips came off, It hurt. Like everything now has to settle in a new way and now the only thing keeping it together are the incision lines on their own with no back up, so it hurt for a day or two and sometimes when I move weird it tugs, just wanted to let you know what to look out for!

Bye bye for now!
