Nice to be fully functional
I feel great. The incisions that hurt me at lot t some points are almost fully healed, only the top layer of skin looks a bit damaged, with tiny bits of the scab left.
I was allowed to start driving my car at the 2 week point. It felt a bit odd to turn the wheel, and I did it my holding on to the lower part of the feel. It was annoying to park as it seemed to take forever. 3-4 days on, I can do it totally normally.
I was asked to wear my post-op compression bra for 16 days, and I hated it. It was very uncomfortable, pressing its band edge to my incisions and I feel it really messed with my posture. However I've now been in my comfy firm sports bra. Feels so good.
I haven't been bra shopping yet and won't do that until my 1month check.
My skin around breast is still very dry and flaking. And I noticed more than normal amount of hair falling, which hasn't happened for at least two years since my second baby's birth.
I can't wait to get back exercising, but I was told to hold off for a month. Consequently I have lost weight and struggle a bit with eating.
All in all, I would say I was "back to normal" in majority of aspects of my life at the 2 week point.

12-day update
I've just been to my ~2 week check. They removed the plasters and let me be without from now on. Also, checked my 2 sports bras, which I'm still not allowed to wear and prescribed that I would wear my post-op compression bra for an extra 5 days. Apparently it is necessary to quickly move my left implant lower, to the correct place. My right one sits on the perfect place.
My skin around and on the breasts is very dry and a bit flaky. Was told to simply use a moisturiser.
I have considerably less pain, even when lying down or sitting on the sofa in a comfy curled up way. Almost none o be honest.
Can't wait to switch to sports bras.

Getting better
Tomorrow marks a week from my surgery. It has been quite a week. From very fragile and weeks feeling to just about okay.
I have only taken one co-codamine this morning, whereas just yesterday I was still counting minutes to bring me to 4h, so that I could pop another painkiller.
It was my kid's birthday party and I figure I did better than I expected I would. Decorated 2 cakes, demonstrated some games and socialised as normal, also lots of walking around a massive garden.
The only pain seems to be radiating from my incisions, mostly when sitting down in an otherwise comfy position or getting up from the bed.
Some 34A bra pictures added. Chokingly said to my husband that I don't think I received any implants during the surgery, as I can still fit into my tiny bra. He didn't agree.
