It's officially been just over a month with the new girls and, I have to admit, I'm starting to really like them. I wasn't so crazy about them before but they've dropped a little and have gotten a lot more softer. They're still sitting higher than I'd like but so much better than 4 weeks ago! I went back to work last week for the first time and even though the first day was tough, it got better and easier with each day. I haven't been able to do any housecalls yet as I need to carry my table, but at least I'm starting to make some money (finally!). I've also started to go back to the gym (yay!), but only lower. I've only worked on machines so no lifting heavy plates or weights yet. My legs were so sore afterwards I actually felt like I missed it. The only exercise that felt weird was lying down hamstring curls, which probably wasn't a smart choice. I tried not to fully lie down to fully squish the girls, but it still felt weird. I'll be staying away from those for a while. Other than that, everything else (also did leg extensions, leg press, leg adduction, and calves) was good.
Not sure if this is only in my head but, I'm a little self conscious about them. My boyfriend tells me they look great but I feel like they still look so fake and when people look at them they just think 'wow those look really fake'. I know they're going to look fake but I wasn't anticipated caring that they do or that other people know they are. I'm slowly getting comfortable with them as they soften more and am still massaging them constantly. Just patiently waiting for the D&F.
On a brighter note, I've been trying on some old clothes to see if they still fit, and a lot of them still do! And they even look better with the new girls!! Workout tops were my main concern but they're more tighter around my boobs rather than being tighter around my belly!! So glad I didn't have to get a whole new wardrobe!! It's the small things that make me happy :)

3 weeks post op - massage, massage, massage!
I feel like today has been a breakthrough kind of day in my progress. I had my incisions removed a few days ago and they told me to start massaging them which I find is really helping! I found that I would tighten up pretty quickly when I drove or when I carried things (light things, <5lbs) for a short amount of time but I'm finding this happening a lot less today (yay!). I still haven't gone back to work which really sucks because I need to pay bills. I practiced giving a massage to my boyfriend and I tightened up so quickly it was so uncomfortable so I decided to take a few more days off to get back to semi-normal. I'm hoping to try to massage them as much as I can over the next few days so I can be ready to work on Monday (fingers crossed).
I'm not quite sure what morning boob is but I do feel the girls are a bit sore in the mornings. I'm assuming that's what it is? The soreness goes away when I get up and start walking. I've also started some light cardio at the gym (yippee!). It's hard for me to go from working out 4-5 days/week to just walking, so this is huge. I can't do any high impact exercises yet but I'm slowly getting there.
Today is the first day I started feeling close to normal and I'm loving it. I look so much better in clothes and I feel so much better about myself. It really is amazing what a pair of boobs can do for a girls self-esteem. I'm loving the size of them so far and look forward to seeing these girls drop and fluff. Happy healing to you all!

2 weeks post op
Hey RS community! It's officially been 2 weeks since my surgery and things have been getting better. I've started driving, which felt really weird at first, but slowly getting better. I still feel bouts of tension when I'm checking my blindspot and if I drive for a long time. I've been learning to take breaks (something hard for me to do). I'm still unable to go back to work (I'm a massage therapist) and workout so I've been going for long walks whenever I can.
The girls are still sitting high but starting to feel
a bit softer on the top. I'm patiently waiting for them to drop and fluff. Patience is a virtue.
I've been obsessed with finding a comfortable post recovery bra and have unfortunately spent more than I should have considering they will change over time. I've read many positive reviews on Brilliant Contours bras but can't get myself to pay for another bra after all I have spent already. I sort of wish I found out about Brilliant Contours before my surgery so I could of had it when my surgery was done. I'll most likely order some in the future after reading the great reviews on them. For now, I found a bra by Anita Care that has a thicker band, to be the most comfortable, as it doesn't feel like it's digging into my incisions. I also found the criss cross cami bra by Champion to be very comfortable as well.
