all depends on the size you are and your dr. I only went down one size. 

...and I think I went UP two sizes!!!!

The swelling in my abdomen & upper thighs is driving me nuts. My pre-op pants are still semi-uncomfortablly tight, and I really don't want to go into the basement to pull up some heavier-me pants just on principle.

What about a Palm Beach body!? Haha. Wow, I have missed so much here... Regardless of your recovery time line wanted to send flowers to wish you a very smooth and successful ongoing recovery. Congratulations, Ms. GreenTealael! Well deserved. Hugs. Looks like I'm next in line! Oh boy. Actually, we are headed to Miami this weekend before D-day on Tuesday, the 21st. ;]

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 😂

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..

RE: itching and soreness

Benadryl is your friend (especially at night).

Ice packs too.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
