Almost 7 weeks post!!
Haven't updated in a while because nothing too interesting has been happening. Things seem to be healing really well!
I am wearing a bralette (no underwire) most days and the sports bra when I go to bed. Wearing the sports bra 24/7 was starting to hurt my back, the bralettes are more comfortable on a daily basis and they also make me feel more normal!
I have been enjoying the heck out of my new breasts! All my friends/family say I seem much happier and I honestly am! This is probably the best decision I've ever made.I feel much more confident, both in and out of my clothes.
The scarring isn't too bad, it hasn't even been a month and they look great! I'm pretty confident that in a year or so they will be faded and won't bother me at all.
No pain, the hypersensitivity seems to be gone for the most part. Sometimes I get little shocks (I think they're called "zingers") but they're not really painful. I've attached some pictures so everyone can see my cute little perky breasts now! On the side picture there is a black mark, it's just some residue from the tapes! Nothing icky!

Haven't updated in a while, nothing too exciting to post about. Everything is going great. I think I'm a C but I haven't had myself sized as I'm still wearing the sports bra most days and every night to bed.
I was having some hypersensitivity in one nipple that was pretty uncomfortable and a little painful (mostly in the shower) but it's gotten way better. I was kind of freaking out I would be stuck like that forever. I've also developed a little bit of acne around/on my chest and breasts that I've never had before (probably from being all bandaged up for a while and constantly in a sports bra) but I've been using cleanser and applying spot treatment and it seems to be going away.
Other than that everything is pretty good and I bought a bralette! I have dreamed about wearing a bralette for years, I can die happy now. Even my friends who have the same size breasts as me (no breast reduction) are jealous of my boobs! They are so perky and cute! A friend of mine is a C and can't even wear a bralette and she always tells me to stop bragging about my perfect boobs.

Post-Op Day 5!!
Day 5 and I'm feeling great! Still haven't taken any sort of pain medications and I feel awesome. Sleeping has taken a bit of adjusting and getting used to, not the most comfortable. I woke up the first couple days with an extremely sore neck and back, with barely any sleep. I found that putting a pillow under my lower back helped a lot and I did some googling to see if it was safe to sleep on my side. Most information I found said listen to your body so I tried it and found that I didn't feel any pain or discomfort but I'm careful not to put too much pressure on my side when sleeping and don't stay on my side too long but I've been sleeping much better and no more back or neck pain!
The second day post-op I also woke up with the most painful headache I've ever had, probably because I was pumped so full of drugs at the hospital and hadn't taken any at home, I think my body was going through some sort of withdrawal. I just drank lots of water and laid down quite a bit and the next day my headache was gone.
I do sleep quite a bit but I think I'm starting to get some of my energy back. I went out yesterday and was pretty tired after just one store and got a bit moody because I wanted to leave but after a short drive and sitting down I was okay to take on another short trip to a different store. I'm trying to get my energy back and be more active but I also want to heal and listen to my body so if I'm pretty tired or my eyes feel heavy I usually don't fight it and just sleep.
I also took my first shower today! I had my mom wash my hair once and then also went to the salon once and had my hair washed and done but I hadn't washed my body/taken a shower until today (kind of gross, I know) because I think I was a little worried about it. I put a chair in the shower just in case I got tired/needed to sit/anything because I was nervous but... Showering was great!! I loved it, no need to be worried at all. I didn't use the chair and it was really refreshing. No pain/discomfort at all. I kept the temperature pretty mild and just used the rain head so the pressure was nice and low. The water felt amazing, I've been pretty itchy for the past few days and the water really really helped. I didn't really wash my incisions I just let the water and some soap run over them, I didn't want to muck around with anything and I didn't use my normal floral body wash I used a sensitive skin no-scent wash just in case any of it got on/near my incisions (which it did) just to be safe. I also used paper towels to pat my incisions dry after instead of a towel to help keep them clean. My PS told me to make sure my incisions were really dry before I bandaged myself back up to avoid infection so I pat them dry and then just kind of let them air dry while I brushed my hair and did my post-shower ritual before bandaging back up and getting dressed.
I do have some yellow discharge/oozing that I'm not really sure about. We called the hospital to check in with them and they said it could just be normal since it doesn't really have an odour and I don't have a fever or anything. I am seeing my PS tomorrow so he can check up on me and change my tapes so they said he could check then and really verify if it's an issue or not.
Other than that I feel great! I was feeling a bit down before and questioning if the surgery was really something that I needed, if this was what I should have done, etc, etc. but I'm feeling better and time is flying by!
