8 weeks after surgery

Hi - thought I'd include a photo of me 8 weeks after surgery - I was at a party and wore a new clingy dress with a neckline that plunged! ( I am not wearing a bra either!!)

although I am still lumpy round the middle - boy I am not complaining.. as soon as I can get into some exercise I'll be working hard on it!

Well into healing time

Its well into 8 weeks now since the surgery and I never appreciated how long it actually takes to heal. I am not sure if I am brave enough to put skin photos up yet.

Suffice to say, I still have quite red looking scar lines and stitches poking out in some places. When I got back home I was very careful to have lots of rest - sitting and lying down - nearly killed me - but I knew how important it was for swelling. I was rewarded each day with a lessening tummy and breasts deflating toward the D cup promised. ( sort of a bit sad to see my very large perky ones go....big smiles.)

One side of my tummy and my new belly button is still very swollen and I am still wearing the constrictive bandaging 23 hours a day. However - they are very loose now and its sort of losing the impact.

I have gone from a size 26 ( getting on the plane 8 weeks ago) to currently a size 18/20. I've done no exercise so far. I boogied and did some dancing the kitchen last night and was punished with swollen breasts and sore tummy withing an hour. I feel so great and wonderful and was seriously thinking of going back to my dance classes next week. I guess not huh?

I feel amazing and delight in wearing hipster jeans and a tight tshirt - grinning like an idiot at my flat stomach. Although I still have the very unsexy undergarments on - I feel fab.

I plan to continue to keep a weekly diary here to inform any who pop over - on my recovery and my thoughts.

please do comment and ask me questions - more than happy to answer!

EBAY queen

As promised in an earlier post - I have been constantly going though my wardrobe and turfing.

It pains me sometimes to see favourite shirts or outfits in the pile - but I am not willing to keep them - as energetically they will sap my soul - and give me messages that I need to 'grow back into them." which I am absolutely not going to do.

I own so much black... just as well I was a goth for a long time. Its also hard at times to see really good quality stuff ( things I may have only worn once or twice) get sold for a few dollars.

Still - its got to go and I am glad its going to someone who needs a lift and needs clothes...
