It’s 2 weeks after my BA and I’m starting to feel more uncomfortable in my chest.
I think because I felt so amazing the first 2 weeks, I possibly over did things a little bit more than I should
have. In retrospect, I wish I hadn't accepted the few jobs I did, but I felt great and couldn't afford to turn down the work.
The good news is that exactly 14 days after my surgery, today, my tummy is back to normal
again…just as Dr. Rastogi said it would be. I am also relieved of my constipation, so I am feeling
much more like myself in that regard. The tightness in my chest tells me that I have over done things, so now I’m taking a step right back and am trying to relax more. If I can give any advice, it would be to really be
conscious of how great you feel, but purposely tell yourself not to go crazy and do too much. I was at a kid’s party, dropping one of my boys off and a friend of mine said…”Here can you hold my daughter” and gave her baby to me. I took the baby, otherwise she would have fallen, but was worried, as I know I’m not meant to lift anything over 8 kilograms for 6 weeks. I have been following the postoperative care sheet inside the info pack I was given, to a tee. In fact, I have even waited a bit longer than recommended, for each milestone you reach. So, for example, I waited for 10 days before sleeping on my
side, instead of 8. The baby I lifted was much more than 8 kilos, so I panicked. I rang Dr. Rastogi’s office and spoke to Helen, the nurse. She reassured me that so many of the patients have small children of there own, that it’s really hard not to pick them up. If something was wrong with my breasts, I’d know about it, she said. I feel better knowing this and take a mental note of being extra careful with myself as much as possible.

One week after surgery
May 9th, 2013
It’s been a week and I’m still completely amazed at
how great I feel. I have taken my kids to school and am starting to do a
bit more around the house. My husband has been doing most of the tidying up
and washing, which is fantastic! I've started cooking meals though and am well enough
to do light housework, folding laundry etc…
My breasts are still quite tight and I’m feeling no pain, but the tightness has increased, as I’m using my arms
a bit more. It’s hard to describe the feeling, but the easiest comparison is probably the feeling of working out too much where you feel sore, but a good sore. It’s not pain at all and still hasn't been.
My nipples are sensitive and I have lost some of the sensation, which Dr. Rastogi has assured me will
return in no time. I've been taking a few Panadols here and there to relieve some of that tight feeling, but otherwise, that’s it. The worst thing I’m feeling at the moment is constipation.
I haven’t been to the toilet in just over a week now and it’s bothering me. My stomach is quite swollen
too, which Dr. Rastogi said was completely normal. Don’t panic, I tell myself. I’m used to having less of a
tummy, so it’s a big confronting, but I’m confident that it will go down.
Dr. Rastogi said that it takes about 2 weeks for the swelling to disappear, so I’m just relying on the fact
that he is awesome and knows what he’s talking about! Other than the constipation and swelling in my
tummy, I’m great! I have even worked this week, but took it very easy.
I’m a hair and makeup artist, so I had to go really easy doing the model’s hair for a photo shoot.
It was at the beach, fortunately, so that fly-away, beachy hair worked.
No one noticed that I wasn't my normal self.
I still can’t believe I feel this great, one week out of surgery.My husband is loving my new breasts too, by the way. He thought I was lovely before, but am now even better. He can’t stop looking at me and I feel sexier and more beautiful than ever…it’s awesome!
