Fast post but interesting day. I had a PS appt and all is overall looking good. I have had a few oozing areas under breasts. Well apparently I had some stitches poking out. So a nurse pulled them out. Also she looked at my TT scar and where there was a scab, she scrapped it off and found another one about 1/2 inch long. All very typical. I also have 2 stitches I can see under the skin because there are small indentions. One of them is causing some discomfort when i stand up straight, PS recommended in the shower stretching my back gently everyday (imagine leaning back/arching my back). That will loosen those areas gradually. He said eventually they will dissolve but the higher priority is getting me standing fully upright.
Lastly, he brought up my off center bb. He wants it to heal more and then he will "pop" it out and restitch. All in the office.
Generally I am back to all my activities. Did 3 spinning classes in last 9 days. Stamina feels good. I am having a weird reaction to sugar.... I thought I was on a crazy high after bday cake at work! it's happened a few times like that. Not the worst thing but weird. Youngest child constantly finds ways to kick my stomach or hit my chest (all unintentional by him,.. He does t mean to hurt me), but I am finding I need to make a big effort to stay out those situations.
I took some pics today.... Once on my home laptop will post. Happy healing and good luck to the several embarking this week!

Hi all. Have you guys noticed that most people...

Hi all. Have you guys noticed that most people count days to a certain # of weeks and then months.... It is like we are nursing a MM baby!
Confession time... Major MM side effect
So I have a problem.. A major shopping problem. It started with exercise/wireless bras to fit the new breasts. While I'm at it, ordered some new exercise pants in a medium (wow!). Then bought some undies.... Didn't really need them but I did at that moment. While I was on the site I bought a new dress on sale and I look fantastic in it!! Bought some work clothes on sale including new suit,... And I spent tonight out at the mall for the first time. Omg,... Everything seemed to fit beautiful. It lays on the body the way it should! I used to be a 12-14 jacket and found a beautiful tweed jacket that was a 10. Oh the pleasure of easking the lady for a smaller size! Will likely be my go-to jacket for the fall! I need to stopppp this! Oh but it was so fun!
What I know in my head is that I am still swollen. So I'd hate to waste money. It has occurred to me that I have given away many clothes over the years because my button up shirt gapped at the breasts or my rolls showed through.
Alright.... Let me see if I can do a little self-control and no more shopping!
Besides that, stamina is really great. I am feeling a little soreness under my breasts the last 2 days. Overdoing it? Or just part of it. I have one hole under one breast that continues to seep yellow/green. Dr appt on Mon.
Cheers to you all and happy healing!

Hi all!
Glad to report a positive spin class today! I purposely picked a go at your own pace class. I.e. an instructor that wont be yelling at me to go harder. My heart rate instantly went up so I tried to keep it at a medium pace. As the class almost was over, I let myself try a little harder as I was getting comfortable. Felt great and still do.
The best part? The lack of "blob" on my stomach! And less pull on my shoulders and constant correction of my posture. I was truly amazed and thrilled! Thankful for what I have done!
Still leaking under one breast...... I am not bothered at all except the yuck factor. It's yellow and very gradual.
Happy healing to you all!

Sounds like you have had a good and ideal recovery. Back to work in one week. Impressive. Glad you are back to working out. I can't wait for that too but I'm only at a week post op so it will be a while. Best of luck in your continued recovery.

It hasn't been that easy... At 1 week post op it was Working at home in my recliner with the laptop. When I had to go to the office at 2 weeks post op, it was tough and my stamina was definitely bad. But I kept all of this understated and quiet at the office.... Felt the pressure (mostly from myself). I am so lucky my husband helps with the at home work and with the kids. I don't think I Could have done it without him!

Thank you for sharing your story. I haven't done a spin class in a long time but I'm thinking that since my Ps doesn't want me running for 6-8 weeks that I will hit the spin bike.
September 10, 2012
The great thing about spinning is that you control the intensity! And there is no twisty movement my PS was concerned about. Still be careful!
September 10, 2012
we have spin bikes at our gym on base that have a video and you can follow the guys workout on the video or you can build your own. they are great. i like actual classes but if i use ths video one i'm thinking i can just do a 30 min or so and quit shen i am ready vs. sitti g through a 60 min. class.

I think the less cuts for the best result! It will speed up your recovery. You should love the results.... The worst part is the waiting for the surgery!
