Pinching and burning sensation
Phew, hard to believe it's been 2 weeks already. Just as I was starting to think I was getting comfortable BAM. I must've over done it at some point recently because it hit like a Mack truck and hasn't let up. I can barely walk without breathtaking pinching and burning all over the girls, most intense in the middle. Spoke with nurse this morning and she said is normal, caused by my nerves healing and then also stretched nerves at same time so double whammy on the pain. Yay me lol. Hopefully this subsides soon because damn this isn't cool.
Steristrips still in place, one came off over weekend but they're double layered so no incisions exposed yet. Dr said if they start coming off on their own I can remove otherwise he will at my 1 month on July 26th... I'm kinda hoping they come off on their own. My sensation is definitely back in my nipples already and damn they're sore so the idea of steristrips being pulled off turns my stomach. On the other hand seeing my incisions does too lol so....

1 week post op check up today
Doc says I'm looking good, healing well and on track. Steristrips from 1st post op still in tact, he said they looked good so didn't change them today...said that if they start coming off I can take them off otherwise if still there in 3 weeks he'll remove them. Also gaining the feeling back in my breast and nipple areas already so that's a great thing!
I'm feeling a lot better, mentally lol. It's been a roller coaster of emotions. I'm ridiculously bloated which is annoying, chest is very tight but that's to be expected with 520cc implants lol! They're slowly starting to drop but Dr wants me to continue wearing the strap to help the process along. Also wants me braless as much as possible which should be interesting because I go back to work tomorrow lol.
Found some very comfy "bras", very lightweight thin stretchy sports bra type...no compression and no shaping which is what Dr wants so they're perfect.

Frustration
Today started a new sensation, contractions. Yup contractions in my boobs ugh. Wore the band all day but got to a point were I was so uncomfortable I just couldn't any longer so I took it off and bam right back up they went! It was instant and so freaking uncomfortable, spent the next 15 icing them.
So now here I sit with the girls super high again, tight as hell and now add they're contracting. My BF asked if I wanted anything and my response was a way to fast forward through this entire recovery :(
Tired of sleeping in a chair, I miss being able to bury my head in his chest in a hug when I'm feeling overwhelmed... Guess I've hit the stage where I'm questioning if this was the right thing to have done?
Sigh I know I'll love them once this is all over but damn, getting to that point is hell.
