On the Other Side and Feeling Great!! - Tucson, AZ

34C, baby! For now....

It's the third week and I feel amaaaazinggg! I still have to wear my "Nana Bra" as my current students are calling it, but I'm almost to the point where I can wear a real one!

Week one wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, probably because I was so drugged up and just laid around all day, but week two was terrible! Which is probably because I went back to work that week. I teach new hires in the classroom so I pretty much don't move or carry anything but, oh my god, I was dying! My boobs itched and my incisions kept feeling like they were being pulled at the seams and I couldn't scratch or adjust since people were around. It was very draining. My house was very very dirty for a while, haha. So if you haven't had your BA yet and can get more time off work, DO IT! :)

It wasn't until that weekend that I was feeling about 90%. My right boob was giving me troubles. It just wouldn't drop and for a while I thought my implant was weighing down too much on my incision and was going to bottom out, but now it's dropped and healed and looks great! I'm definitely at 100% now. Also, I've been using Bio Oil and Arnica salve and haven't seen any stretch marks yet, so woo!

And I can sleep on my tummy now! They feel like rocks when I do, but they're getting to feel more and more like a part of my body. I can squish them individually, but I can't squish them together, so no possibility for cleavage yet. But I think it'll happen soon :)

I'm sooooo much happier! All of the saving and waiting and research was so worth it! I feel like an actual female now. With actual boobs!!!

I'll post some clothes pictures later (I bought a bunch of new ones!!) but that's been my experience so far, e.g.: awesome!

Oh, on another note: It kind of seems like my boyfriend is super controlling from what I've been saying on these updates, but I promise he's not. He just cares about me and doesn't want my coworkers/family/mutual friends to put two and two together, see me naked, and think of me any differently. I don't think it's that big a deal, but I respect his opinion. If I were in his shoes I'd want him to ask me to weigh in on his half nude pictures, too, haha.

Best wishes to those recovering!! I hope your post op experience is as great as mine has been :)

So my bf still won't let me put pictures without clothes on, so this is the best I can do. Rice sizers and after surgery comparison. Hope it helps!
