RE: itching and soreness

Benadryl is your friend (especially at night).

Ice packs too.

Yes! The Tylenol pm has Benadryl in it 😍

You look amazing! What size boobs did you end up with? I ask because I will probably get a lift when I do TT. But of course this will probably be next year for that.

I couldn’t see the faja image for some reason..

I already started using silicone scar tape and will care for it diligently.

First off, you look amazing! Just a comment to say that I love having the silicone tape on my arms. I feel like the incisions are well protected. And I barely even feel that the tape is even on. Just replaced the first set (?) tonight, after wearing for a week. It was still working fine but I just felt like it was time to change it. Just cuz.

2 weeks+ update:

Still very swollen from the TT, but I'm being super patient because I'm super satisfied with the breast lift outcome.

From everything I'm reading and looking at on the internet, after 3-4 months your true results will show because most of the swelling should subside.

My faja is far too tight most days to put on so I'm mostly using other compression garments and the binder. I wore the faja out the other day and its fine for standing etc but nothing else. I want it off ASAP. But I think its because my swelling levels fluctuate.

Weight is also fluctuating up and down depending on swelling, yesterday I was 155lbs and today 151lbs

I've been off all pain meds for quite a while but last night I was so sore and itchy that I needed a Tylenol PM. I believe the itching is the regeneration of... fascia? nerves? whatever. Its hella annoying 😞

I have an area where I prematurely broke my stitches on the side and I can tell I'm going to need to work hard to have that scar disappear but I already started using silicone scar tape and will care for it diligently. Anyone have tips send them my way!

I now have strong sensation on both nipples, hooray! I'm thoroughly enjoying the shape and size of the new breast ❤

Blurry pics attached 😂

I bought a roll of a medipride single use type to test my skin's reaction. So far so good.

But Next I plan getting a reusable (strips) type

Thank you [emoji172],
What type are you using?
CircaTape. It's what my Dr recommended, and I think someone else here on BP did too but I can't remember who that was.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
