Feeling pretty good! Went out of town yesterday for a Mother's Day brunch with my bfs family! Stayed up there late because my bf and friends wanted to go kill frogs lol so we went down a long......bumpy.....dirt road! That wasn't too fun with my new girls! But I managed!

My right breast is a lot more sore and numb then my left. My right was smaller so it has a bigger implant and is also my dominant arm so I'm hoping the extra soreness is normal! HOPFULLY!y right breast is also still higher than my left... I think I'm over thinking things but I hope I'm not getting CC :(

I tried on my new swim suit my dad got me for my birthday which is a size medium top and medium bottom! I used to be xs top and medium bottom.... So YAY!!!!!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! :)

You might also get a case of what my friend and I call the "Pully-Burnies". Weird pulling and burning throughout your boobs or on the sides. I'm two weeks out and have a ton. I also had a lift though. My nipples get a shocking sensation to them sometimes too. It can get a little uncomfortable. Also GOOD LUCK at work. I'm not a hairdresser but am on my feet all day and moving my arms all day. Take it easy. Last week was my first week back and I'm still beat. Makes me a little sick to think I have to do it all again starting tomorrow :( boooooo. Ice your ladies when you get home and take some ibuprofen and a muscle relaxer if you've got 'em. That helped a ton. You look absolutely fantastic! Where did you get the leopard bra? That is so damn cute?

I had my one week post op on Wednesday and it went great:) I got my steri strips off and just gotta keep them moist for a couple days with aquafor! So far I think their healing pretty good!

I asked my doc about the numbness and he said that normal. It is caused when the skin and tissue and nerves are stretched they kinda shut down. The nerves very slowwwwllyy grow back. It can be up to two years:/ he said since my nips are pretty numb that I it will prolly take me a little longer to regain sensation!

I was also experiencing sharp pains in my left and had a muscle spasm in my right:/ so I asked about stuff like that and he said unless I see a physical change in my breasts, everything is normal.

I was finally able to shower on my own and it felt sooo good:) I'm feeling good just my right (smaller) one which has the bigger implant in it is really sore:/ even tho it's numb, if I press on it hurts on the inside! Besides that I'm starting to feel normal! I DON'T wanna go back to work:/ I'm a hair dresser and my arms will be in constant motion:/ Tuesday is coming too soon:(

Yesterday was my birthday and I got so many vs gift cards! SO EXCITED! Bras shopping was always so depressing so this is gonna be like a new chapter in my life! I feel like a new and improved woman! Woohoo! Hope all you ladies are healing up good :)

Yeah that's kinda the same where my numbness is and my nips are a little numb! I'm guessing its normal maybe cuz it's close to the incision site?? Ill let you know tomorrow what my doc says!

Like I said on someone elses post, I believe the numbness is from nerve disruption. When I had my c-section I had numbness right above and below the incision and it finally came back (it might have been 6 months) but I regained all feeling. I truly believe its the nerves being cut, but they do heal in time.
