I'm good!

Its amazing to think that I have had new boobies for more than 2 months already! They do feel like mine and I love them. Although, I am still getting used to this body and how to dress it. Things in my closet don't look the same and my belly really has become more prominent. I can't afford a tummy tuck and my crunches are just not doing anything-- but I suppose that is meant for another forum! I got fitted by my long time bra fitter (when you have big ones, you make good relationships with your bra fitter over the years!) Sharon and I had fun trying things on but she wouldn't let me buy anything because I still have swelling on the sides and my size isn't going to be accurate yet. Right now I am fitting beautifully into 36DD - which sounds big for a BR. I know I was a little shocked! But again, the swelling under my arms is causing the band width to be bigger. And, hey-- what do I care when most days I can go braless? It still feels the most comfortable not to wear anything at all. Picture I am posting is me in a bathing suit. This is the part I love most!

Wow. I know I did a lot of complaining before. Recovery those first 4 weeks were hard. But I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I love my new breasts!
They are still a little swollen and numb. I still have a hard time at night because it's hard to sleep on my side.
But I've been wearing sun dresses and tank tops and going braless. And -- this may be TMI- but my sex life with my husband has totally improved. I feel sexier than I ever remember feeling, and I had no idea the desire that it would awaken! Lol
Finally starting to take off the extra weight I put on-- but I still have not tried exercise yet. Also, I am no longer on pain pills or even Tylenol.
I really do love this new me!

Now that things have settled, what would you say your cup size is? Your MD did a really nice job!
I was scheduled for next week, but my PS hurt her shoulder so I am probably looking at June before my reduction can take place. Of course, this is the first year in several that I actually have a vacation scheduled with my hubby--slated for the first week of July.

I'm still not sure of the cup size. I'm thinking I'll probably settle into a D. It's still hard to tell. While they have settled, I'm still more comfortable not wearing a bra at all. I haven't been given approval yet to go shopping for one.
Bummer that your surgery was postponed! Hopefully you'll be feeling yourself again in just a few weeks so you can have an amazing vacay!

I finally went in for a fitting today. I'm still not ready to buy a bra because there is still some slight swelling on the sides, but get this-- I am a 34DD! What??? I mean, I'm not really complaining. My breasts are beautiful and I can go braless most of the time. But I was sure I'd be a C or a D. It's still a drastic improvement from
The GG that I was.
Hoping the swelling goes down under my arms because the breasts look really boxy. Instead of being circled they are more rectangles.
Still, Happy.

You are a talented wrtter. Thank you so much for sharing. I am 56 and 5 days post op, went for a long walk today it felt so good to be outside. I can't wait to get to 4-6 weeks! I am glad you brought up the swelling etc I am worried I can't put my arms down at my sides causing excess sweating. I tried to tell you about pure barre earlier, if you can fit imto your schedule it will help you. It is helping me to recover and can't wait to get back to it. Valerie
