picture with my "before" jeans
I just added a picture to my profile of me with my pre-surgery jeans. These jeans were tight on my pre-op, and now I can stand with both legs in ONE leg of them (that picture didn't turn out the way I had hoped, though)! I have been waiting since day 1 post-op to be able to do this!
The blue sweater I have on, athough not especially flattering to my still ample bustline, is cashmere (mmmm..... cashmere) -- purchased on sale for 50% off, no less! -- and was my recent "reward" for moving from the "obese" to "overweight" BMI category). It's a Large and the jeans I have on are a 14 petite!

Thanks. My arms are better, although they still feel tight and sensitive and still have some swelling. Mostly, my armpits and the side incisions along the breasts still hurt quite a bit and I still have very limited range of motion. Enough of the swelling is gone, though, and the incisions are healed enough that I am starting to get a pretty good idea of the final result, and that looks pretty good (one armpit still looks kind of scary).
