23 days post surgery. Still very angry that I got a pulmonary embollism! It has slowed me down!
I am still swollen. More swollen on days that I do more activity. My breasts are recovering, dropping into "place" - and man oh man - they are sore! I had returned to work this week, as an admin assistant, but couldn't make the full 8 hours. Two days I left work in tears with pain in my breasts and incision site.
Would I do it again? Yes I would. In a heartbeat! I'm just not patient, wanting to get back into the gym. However, our daughters, future son in law, and my husband - AWESOME! Even got the husband to take me to HEB this morning shopping for my Thanksgiving groceries!
Slow down is my advice. Let people help you. Keep walking, but not too much. And for the breast lift, keep that bra on!
I took pictures the first and second week, will post one or two soon. But this week, I had the blues. I felt puffy, I'm tired of the garment 24 hours a day, tired of the sleeping position, and tired of being tired and sore. So - no pictures for week 3, but I don't see alot of change from last week.
Well I look forward to Thanksgiving, to see the family and let them see my great new curves! Not so excited I will be in sweats, but doing this during the fall/winter is the way to go. I plan on being in some great clothes come spring time.
Talk to you soon. If you have done this, hang in there! If you are thinking of doing it, only you know if it will be right for you. Have your support system in place.
