Two weeks out?  You are still swollen and healing.  Give yourself time.  The boobs do feel odd for a while but over time, things settle and begin to feel more normal.  You are still very soon out of surgery.  Patience will be your challenge now.  I know I am impatient and wanted everything to be the way it SHOULD be - but after 3 turns under the knife, I learned that I, too, have to just wait it out.

thank you renee for your encouraging words

i  just feel like i am on the verge of tears - but, i dont know why

i am not disappointed with my results
i dont feel sick

but, i just want to feel ? idont know  - good

ya - good

i just want to feel good

Aw Kim - girl, I know how you feel.  Sometimes anesthesia has an emotional affect on women post-op.  I am usually apprehensive when I am first out of surgery.  Then once I see that I'm holding together well, I get happy.  Then around Day 10, I wait for the "blues" to come.  They don't have any real reason or they're not in connection with anything specific...just that post-op sad feeling. I think the drugs may have something to do with it. I also think that with all the hype we go thru before surgery, that we crash after all is said and done. Sometimes, it's the expectation that we will look or feel more "perfect" than we actually do early out. What you're feeling is normal. Go ahead and cry if it releases some of that pent up emotion and don't worry. I'm here to tell you that it passes. Be good to yourself.

renee
you must have been reading my mind!

you are telling my story better than i am

Kudos to you! What date did you actually have surgery?  I would have to say I am out a little over a week and that is exactly how I feel.  Like I am engorged and need to nurse ASAP!  But since I am not giving up any of this silicone and I am quite pleased to have breasts again I am dealing with it.

was two weeks ago today
april 23rd

it's better than it was this morning

you?

I found massaging them or asking my better half to works out nicely.  Pretty much like when you are nursing.  They feel softer to be honest not as rock hard as when I first came home I had them done on the 28th.

yes, i've been doing that
and i think over the past 24 hours or so i have felt better

my dr (i saw him yest) said i did not have to sleep in my bra if i wanted a break
i think letting them "move" around during the night helped

still very tender - but, not "sore"

at night it seems like i just couldnt get comfortable
last night was better though i cant say i slept WELL

i still dont feel rested but, i dont feel like i did
