3 weeks and 2 days post op:
Pain is almost gone. Still feel little shooting pains, and tugs here and there. Some burning and itchy sensations, but it's definitely getting better by the day. I have asymmetrical swelling mostly on my right side. It feels very hard and looks swollen with a thick fold but I have an appointment with my surgeon tomorrow so will see what he says. I've been doing cardio daily and I tried running yesterday but on my very first step, I felt a strong tugging pain on my chest so I just kept it a fast walk pace. Still wearing the compression vest and lipo pads, but 2 nights ago, I just couldn't take it any more and took it off and slept on my bed for the first time in 3 weeks. Even rolled to my side without any pain. Put the vest back on as soon as I awoke, but that felt amazing. I'll try leaving it on tonight and see what the doc recommends tomorrow. I tried the pizza roller for 20 minutes today and I'm not sure if I'm properly healed yet as the pain was still there.
Yesterday, I wore a v-neck sport shirt out last night for a poker game and all the guys were amazed how different i looked. This is not just because of the surgery, but I've lost about 30 pounds in 4 months. But with the surgery, I finally wore a tight shirt and it looked like I was all muscle.
Also, final though is about my posture. I can't believe how much of a "gyno hunch" I had. With the boobs gone, I can definitely notice how much I hunch over. I've been forcing myself to walk around with my shoulders back, chest out and head high and it feels very natural and easier now. I've literally been walking wrong all these years. I feel less tense in my shoulders and less strain on my neck. Walking around care-free with a strong wind blowing my t-shirt tight against my body feels amazing. Don't know who's reading all this and apologies if this is in the wrong group, but feels good to write it all down. I'll update again if there is anything worth mentioning, otherwise I'll be at the 3 month mark.
