Soo I ran half a mile today :) Let me tell ya what a strange feeling! I had two sports bras on and I could still tell there was a little something extra there. My lets were ok but it was my middle back that bothered me. I guess my body will just have to get use to it...and that's ok with me! I'm liking my girls more today.
So my news: I've been debating on getting a dog :) Today I will be bringing home a 5 year old yellow lab! Seems like a very good dog with good habits. The last dog I adopted ended up being a biter so that was traumatic. I'm telling you all this because I really think and hope a pet will help with stress and keep my mind off the boobies :) Pretty excited! I get to give her a trial run for a week and then I can make up my mind if she's a good fit.

Best wishes!

Wow. You got a run in. Congrats. I haven't done any running yet. I strained my calf muscle but I did have a good lower body workout today with lots of squats and leg press. I can't wait to get my calf healed and clearance from my PS to resume upper workout. Although it will feel weird, my body will adjust.

That's awesome you are running again. :) Good luck with your new furry friend, hope it's a good fit.

That's great you are able to run. Best of luck with the new dog.

I can't wait to get the clear from my doctor to start running and working out! Having nice looking boobs makes me want to make the rest of my body look better too! I'm sorry you are so back and forth with how you feel about your results. I think that at this stage all of the things that you are concerned about are normal and with time you will end up thrilled with your decision!
January 25, 2013
Just checking on you to make sure you were doing ok. Hope everything is alright. Are you loving the puppy?
January 25, 2013
Hey! I should really update. The dog didn't work out :( turns out my apartment has a 25lb weight limit...didn't know that! It's been 5 weeks and 2 days and I have seen a lot of changes lately. Crazy how they look different each day. Still worried about the right one but I'm being patient. Things got better when I could wear a normal bra. How are you?
January 26, 2013
Sorry about the doggie. I'm doing better. Starting to like them more. It would help if I knew how to dress. I'm not real fashionable. Lol. It's crazy how they change everyday. They feel more like my own now. No matter how much you try to prepare for it, I isn't enough. Being able to wear a real bra is such a good feeling after not being able to. Makes it seem more real. Lol! I hope you are doing well and send more pictures when you can. I would like to see how our doctor did. Have you looked at my pictures? Do you think they look natural?

So the emotional roller coaster decided to throw me another loop. I haven't liked my implants the last few days. I can't see any changes, my nipples are still low and saggy and look as if they're sliding off the implant. I feel like I should have less upper pole than I do at this point. I'm wondering if the implant was placed too low to begin with. I don't know. I just know that I am getting impatient. I was expecting big changes around the one month mark...and that's next Wednesday.

Hang in there. I'm over three months and my right one finally dropped a little last week. I completely understand. The worse part of this experience was the emotional part. Sometimes I like them and sometimes I think they are ugly. I showed them to my friend at work and she thinks I'm absolutely crazy. She says the look great and women are so judgetmental of ourselves. We are going to criticize them. I'm sure they are going to look fine. Try not to look at them. I know it will be hard. Good luck to you and I hope you start loving them soon. Read my profile and see the roller coaster I've been on. I haven't updated in awhile. I will try to this weekend and post more pics. Good luck!

Agreed .. I love the way they look in clothes, but since my nipples are not fully healed, I think my right boob is bigger than the other and my nipples look uneven, I am not thrilled to death with them but with clothes on or even a decent sports bra I LOVE them LOL!
January 12, 2013
:) exactly. It's crazy how some days can be better than others. I will go read your story now!

Hey Happy11 you will be fine. You have to dress those babies up. I figured that a few days ago when I was feeling boob greed. We will tend to analyze them naked but the real deal is how they look when we are dressed and how they make you feel. Once I started trying clothes on with them I really appreciated them more. My bf says he loves them every time he sees me and after reviewing a few pics I took in different outfits With my new babies.....hadn't worn in a while because the lack of breasts, I was really in awe. I'm sure we will go up and down. I was tired of wearing sports bras because it doesn't give you that sexy look under certain shirts, but after trying a few bras on in the stores and taking pics in them, I know I will be satisfied when I do wear bras again. From your pics I think you really look sexy in the purple cami. And before you know it, you will be thinking how did I ever doubt my new babies. Good luck sweetie and I will be checking for updates!!! Happy Boob Year!!!!

Aww thank you! "Dress those babies up!" That cracked me up! I need to go read your story...and put in something sexy, hah! Keep in touch!
January 11, 2013
You will be fine sweetie! Chin up! I think you look GREAT!!!!!!!!! It just takes time.

you are so funny!! Patience. Yes your nipples will be out normal in a few weeks or a month. They won't be sagging south. It all takes time. I'm almost 3 months and I'm still changing each week. This is the slowest process ever!!
January 12, 2013
Can you grab your nipple and the part around it like I can and feel it just sitting there? I don't know how to explain it...when you look down at it does it look like a little mound on top of the implant?

Today I had my second post-op. I thought it went really well. This whole process is absolutely fascinating to me! Surgeon says everything is looking good and the implant just needs time to set in. Time, time, time. He approved running, a bra with no underwire, and said I could begin scar treatment. NO MORE STRAP!!! I didn't even wear it out of the office, just put it in my purse. It feels so strange not wearing it. Next week I can wear an underwire. Woot! Next week I get paid...even bigger woot! I don't want to buy anything expensive so, Wal-mart clearance bras here I come!
The surgeon basically saw the final outcome (when I was propped upright n the operating table) after the operation before I was woken up, so I asked him how close I was to that result. His response in a short, slightly comical fashion was, "not very close." Hah! For some reason I found that funny. It gives me hope that he knows and trusts his work and said that I wouldn't...hopefully...stay this shape forever. I'm so glad I asked if he propped me up and checked everything before surgery was completely finished, it made me feel better. He also said that my nipples would rise as the implant took its position. Shew, thank goodness. I also asked if he tried to fix the asymmetry and he said he did. Yay. My next appointment is Jan. 31st.
I have my alteration fitting for my wedding dress in a few weeks, so I hope the girls will put on a good show :)
People at work are impressed with the size and say it doesn't look fake or too big :) Exactly what I was hoping for!
The fact in itself that I can wear a bra makes me feel much better; I won't have to worry about concealing the strap!
OH! While its n my mind: wash your hands and use germx! That stomach flu was TERRIBLE!!!! I would rather have another BA than that nastiness.
If I have some major dropage or fluffing I'll update again...hope to see more of that in the next few weeks.

Until next time, happy healing!
