1 month post op-pictures

I am a month and a few days post op LBL and BL.  Today I have on my "smallest" jeans from pre-surgery.  I still have swelling....not excessive, but I definitely have some.  And, I'm finding that my pre-plastics pants no longer fit properly.  It is as if all my pants that used to sit on my waist are now way too high waisted.  The jeans I have on today actually fit better, although they are too big in the waist (they are low rise jeans).  I'm guessing I'll have to get all new pants in a few months. I'm going for a follow up Tuesday.  I'm hoping my boobs are finished with swelling...because I ended up with what I suspect is a nice, full C cup....I didn't think I'd have that much left.  Here are a couple pics from today....I'm going to try to get some bathing suit pics this weekend.....I'm always either too busy or bound up in binders so I need to force myself to take the pics right after the shower or before I go to bed.

 

You look great!!! Another parallel in our lives....this is my first day in jeans too.

Looking great! I have had the same problem with my pre-surgery jeans too....I've solved it for now by hitting the local consignment shops that sell designer jeans....I find the low rise to be the most comfortable as personally I'm dealing with a large open wound still at two months out...the high waist jeans put a lot of pressure all over my tummy and it hurts.
Shopping is fun!
I can't wait to see your swim suit pics! I haven't done that yet....though I did purchase a two piece this week! (I don't have plans on actually wearing it in public lol)

I have a two piece that I ONLY WORE ON MY DECK where no one could see me!  I will buy a new one next summer and I might even brave wearing it in public....we'll see...after all, I'm 47 and I'm realistic about what I should and should not wear....but I've seen some two pieces that have good coverage and would look good on a 'MATURE' woman.

I'm most excited about being able to wear the little running shorts and bra style tops to go running in the 100+ degree weather we have down here.

You look great!  Im super excited about the running shorts too - I will totally run in sports bra, anchor cut scar and all :)

I'm impressed.

Congratulations!  You look great.  I wonder if for the first time in your life if you will actually enjoy going swimsuit shopping this year.  I think you will! 

whoop whoop. congrats! I'm excited for the day when I'll get there too
