Doing much better!! Thank you to everyone for all the positive comments and the scoldings not to do too much!! I listened and feel so much better about everything. I have been walking SLOW. My left is a little more firm / probably fluid? sits a little higher, but I am sure they will become more symmetrical as we go. Went out to a birthday party on Saturday night and I actually felt GOOD in my clothes!! WHOO HOO!! Hiding no more!! Am excited to continue to lose some weight and tone up but I feel better - SO much better overall. I can do this!! And a side note - husband LOVES them!! HA - was scared about that but it's great!!

You look great Sadie! How WONDERFUL to hear that you and the hubbie are both loving your new natural self! Ir only keeps getting better from here! (And YES, they do not heal at the same rate - no worries, the one breast will catch up with the other!)

Thanks H&H - whew - good to hear!! I am a leftie, so figured that maybe the issue as well? who knows, but just SO glad - thinking I should have just explanted when the saline ruptured!! Oh to know then what I know now. Saved some $$ too. Oh well that ship has sailed and I am happy NOW.

Wow!! You look great. I have surgery scheduled 12.19 and now I'm starting to get worried looking at peoples worse case scenarios. Lol you look awesome and I would be so happy with your results. My dr. Said he thinks I have enough tissue to be a full C. What size are you now? I know I have to do it either way but it's starting to all sink in. Lol

Three months out and about a 36 D. Dieting & back to the gym so I know they will probably shrink more, but you know what that Is ok. I am ME. 100% me.

Over did it today =( - feel horrid. Tried to shop for a few front open sports bras (got a great high impact one but 36D? ick) Did laundry. Bad idea. I feel swollen ALL over and uncomfortable in most of my clothes. Went grocery shopping, fruits, veggies, lean meats... getting back on the healthy wagon and am excited. Walked this morning at the dog park in laps around the outside - that felt great. Looking forward to getting my exercise program back on track as well because I still feel LARGE. =(. Looking forward to a relaxing football Sunday tomorrow. I may not move from the couch!

Not moving tomorrow and resting sounds like a good idea. The last thing you want to do Sadie is slow down the healing process. I didn't start walking until week 2 and kept my heart rate down by walking slowly. Week 3 is when I started getting back into my cardio at the gym and getting the heart rate up. I am doing lower body weights but don't feel ready for the upper body yet, including yoga stretches. Listen to your body. Eating healthy is great but remember you just had surgery less than a week ago so be careful with your physical activity.

Well, I think you look great. Try not to over do it again. I know how easy it is with pain medication.

Oh I haven't taken any pain medication since the first day!! I don't like it very much but have a high pain tolerance, so that isn't good either!! I am trying my best to just be sedentary for awhile. Thanks the_natural_me. =)

and boy howdy am I exhausted!! Of course playing catch up for the 3 days I was off didn't help - but can say glad I have a desk job!! Husband made some nice dinner and I am going to leave him to the football watching and head to bed early to read for a bit and relax. TGIF tomorrow!! Also went for my post op today at noon and Dr was very pleased with my healing. Told me to watch for any abnormal swelling (due to no drains) and no working out for about 3 weeks, no "bouncing". Slight walking, stationary bike, maybe elliptical in 2-3 weeks, but no kickboxing or Zumba at least until November. That's fine, just need to do SOMETHING. Told me I could also wear any bra that was comfortable, no wires for now. I can stay in the compression bra / sports bra at night if I want the extra support, but he said up to me. Want to try a few bras this weekend for comfort & support - maybe the Genie or Ahhh bra - I know I am no where near a true size/bra fitting excursion!! Thanks to everyone for their positive wishes and ongoing kind words + support!!
