That's awesome!!!

yasss!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HELL YES!!!! thats HUGE!!! great job!

@ShoppGirl I am being a good patient, and its hard! There are times when I'm thinking a lower body workout wouldn't hurt but like you said I do not want to pay for a revision so I wear my post op bra 23/7 only off when I shower. I don't bounce, workout, and lift anything over 10lbs. I will say that I have tried on all the things without the bra and man it can't come soon enough to taking these girls out for a stroll LOL I am trying to give myself leniency but its so hard! I am staying on track for the most part, I cut my calories down by a lot since I am not working out and it seems to be going well.

Just venting LOL I am realizing that I am a creature of habit. I had my breast augmentation 12/30 and it was an involved surgery which I need to rest and not exercise. It’s killing me. I feel lazy, I’m eating stuff I shouldn’t because I’m home all day, I’m out of my routine, I can’t cook for myself and much as my hubby tries it feels like I’m eating at restaurants where I can’t track my food. I feel so blah! I’m tired and lethargic. I’m committed to get back on track tomorrow and told my hubby that I need to get better and stricter since I can’t workout. I cannot wait to get back to the gym to do some cardio at the least. 😮‍💨

could be muscle too! I am going through the same, After my BA I have been up 6-7lbs. I know a couple of lbs of it are the implants but seeing that number up sucks! It makes me look in the mirror and see someone much bigger. I just came to say I feel you sista! But remember how far you have come and your doing everything right! This is a lifestyle not a diet and we will have its up and downs (I need to listen to my own advice!

When I was at my Heaviest I was at 44DD lost all the weight and was wearing a 36A. Now I have boobies via plastic surgery and I believe I will settle at 36DD once everything is dropped and fluffed. I am also tall and just bigger framed so they dont look super duper fake. I have to say that was the look I was going for. bwhen I walk in a room folks look and say "Wow shes blessed" not "wow those are some fake boobies" LOL We are about the same height, I am wearing a XS/S and size 4/6 pants now too. I got 495cc Gummy Bear Implants with high profile just for reference. Also to add, my doc told me I am all implant, I had almost no breast tissue so I needed an internal bra, and lift to go along with the augmentation. I was not willing to have a smaller implant so I paid extra to have all the things

Hell ya!!!! you look amazing! must feel great too!!

Oh no I wouldn't! I had drains in for 8days so they are still sore from when he took them out, moreso on my dominant side than the other. I go back on Tuesday to see what he says about at least walking and sexy time LOL

I have another appointment on Tuesday to get more stitches removed. Its been a process, I had anchor stiches, drains, regular stiches haha all the things. But I am ready for a solid stair master workout, heck I would even settle for a stationary bike sesh which is my least favorite form of cardio. He mentioned that doing lower body and core as long as I wasnt putting so much strain on my upper body would be fine, he suggested hiking too. I am back at work today so already I am feeling better about my day. Such as having my meals prepped, tracking, drinking my water and going to walk short distances today too. So heres to getting back on track!

I am jealous! hahah!!!

I sure hope so! It’s only been a week and I’m going NuttZo!

Oh gosh!! Before I got my surgery and was forced to stop exercising my lower back was in excruciating pain and then my knees were bad. And I do not wanna extend being out any longer than I need to be! Idk if running will be in the cards for awhile but dang a good stairmaster workout? Squats? Something! But yes I will TRY to do as you say! 🤣

He wants me to walk short distances, but I had to get an internal bra and he diesnt want me swollen where a pocket will get created to have the implant be in my armpit lol so I’m trying to be good and take it as easy as possible but it’s effing hard

My surgeon hasn’t cleared me yet. I tried walking and I got super swollen then next day so I’m hoping tomorrow when I get my drains out he clears me 😭 once he does I’m going to be in the move lol

@NickelChip definitely puts my mind to ease! I haven’t been eating the best- too many comfort foods while I’m recovering so I know with no movement and the extra calories I’ve put on a couple of pounds and as @kristieshannon stated the implants do weigh some which mine are about 4lbs together. I love the results as each day passes and I’m healing, and I know once I get back into my routine that I’ll shed the extra goodies weight off- I am more complaining and being too hard on myself.

So I am trying to navigate everything with new boobs haha. They are bigger than I thought they would be which is not a bad thing. I am 5 days post op and will be getting my drains out Tuesday. Hopefully. I had an appointment yesterday and he said I’m more swollen than he would like me to be, which being sedentary is so damn hard for me, but I am trying! Anywho I go back to work on Wednesday and I am wondering what you all wore to work? Im not sure if I need to go buy more button ups? Or can I put tshirts on. I have no issues lifting my arms above my head but it’s a no no for a few weeks. I’m in a casual office setting. Usually nice tops and jeans. Also I knowwwww I shouldn’t have stepped on the scale but it’s 10lb up and now im unhealthily nit picking my body. I put on jeans and they were so damn tight. Someone tell me it’s not fat weight 😂

Yassssss!!!!!! That’s the best NSV!!

Yes! It’s getting easier as the days go by! Friday I’ll be drain free and only needing 1 bra. The one they ordered was slightly too big so they wrapped me too. But can’t wait to see Friday!

I just want to share my excitement, I got my reminder text for my breast augmentation and lift appointment next week! In 3 short weeks I will have new bewbs. Mostly I am excited about having more confidence in myself and my shirts looking like they fit and not baggy off my chest.

@FifiLux I did it! Omg recovery has been tough. They said it was a difficult surgery, took longer than anticipated but he said they look great and I’ll be happy with the results. I have drains and I’m just really sore. Like I did a tough workout. But the hubby had to change out the bandages and he said they look amazing and they look like 20yr old never had kids boobies lol

As Christmas and the New Year are approaching, I wanted to see what your goals for the new year are, mine are to drink more water and less negative self talk. I have been doing some work on my mental game. Body dysmorphia is and negative self talk is a B!

I am researching Naked Whey protein powder, Nutricost or Quest? I need a good protein powder for my post run midday meal. I usually eat my lunch but there are times where my lunch is a little bit too heavy.

Okay I am about to give you a list lol If any of these sound appealing I can get you the recipes! -Chicken Fajita Spaghetti Squash Casserole -Cottage Cheese Queso Recipe -Low Carb Enchiladas -Crustless Quiches -Chocolate Protein Oatmeal -Protein Pudding -Chocolate Chunky Monkey Protein Drink -Ricotta bake -Mini Muffin Ham Frittatas

I just noticed you lost like 10lbs! good or bad? I use isopure right now. Have tried the PeScience for my coffee and its 'aite. Not great but looking for something different.
