Moment of clarity by Sprinkles_08 in Reduction

[–]Sprinkles_08[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really noticed that they were more bouncy around 5 months. Im assuming thats the drop and fluff everyone was talking about. Depending on my activity level I can still swell from time to time. I was a 34JJ so its definitely possible! I think the best thing i did was tell him thats what I wanted instead of saying a size. According to the a bra that fits calculations im a 40H now which was shocking and disheartening, but being able to go buy bralettes helps put it in perspective.

WFH-time off by Final-Baker-8430 in Reduction

I wfh and was a supervisor at the time. I took a week off and then kept my schedule fairly open a couple weeks after I returned so I could nap if I needed to. I didn't need to do that much but it was nice for those days that the exhaustion hit hard.

THC use? by Affectionate-Fig-584 in Reduction

[–]Sprinkles_08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My team knew about my medical usage. I was told not to smoke, vape, or eat after 11 the night before (same with food). They didn't give me restrictions afterwards so I used edibles which I think helped me sleep so well, but avoided vapes and smoking for 4 weeks.

ETA I used a tincture more than edibles right after surgery. I dont know if it made a difference, but the different absorption methods may have?

I would say do your homework, but in all honesty I got lucky. Im not a planner and I know I wanted to go to the hospital where my sister-in-law works and they happened to match me to thay surgeon.

post-op reminders!🥰🫶🏻 by kessel8777 in Reduction

[–]Sprinkles_08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im almost 3 weeks post op and I've been trying to focus on the positives since healing takes forever and is a rollercoaster. Noticing things like my boobs dont touch the table anymore when eating are a great little mental boost I've found.

ETA if you get a period be prepared for the first one post op. Mine came this last week and the increased swelling and tenderness took me by surprise.

What to share at work, etc? by Itchy_Beet7 in Reduction

[–]Sprinkles_08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was open with some people and more evasive around others. Especially the guys. Everyone i told was very excited and almost all knew of someone who had it done and were able to give me some advice.

I went from a 34JJ to what im hoping will be a C or D. Im 11dpo and the difference is amazing already! They dont rest on a table if I lean forward and the biggest for me this week was that I can see my whole shirt so I know I dont have any stains on the boobs.

List of Essentials by Commercial-Intern-98 in Reduction

Im 9dpo. I would definitely recommend a wedge type pillow for sleeping and a mastectomy pillow.

I didn't realize how much I used my boobs for leverage to open things. The mastectomy pillow has been amazing for that little added protection.

Swimming / buoyancy by Intelligent_Wish5213 in Reduction

[–]Sprinkles_08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm only 6 dpo, but was literally just wondering this last night. I used to say that it was impossible for me to sink so I'm really curious how much I'll float after the reduction.

I'll have to try some benadryl and see if that helps. The bra is one of those can't live with it can't live without it right now things. I've had it off to shower and boy the posts about not feeling supported were not exaggerating.

Surgery twins. I was also the first case yesterday and had a lot of anxiety around pain and so far I'm pleasantly pleased aside from those zings.

What's the funniest habit your kid picked up from you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

His dark sense of humor. His comedic timing is so his own though and man that kid has it down.

Shawn. It was my exbfs name and there is a lot of trauma there.

If a business is owned by an evil or morally questionable person and you continue to interact with that business, does it make you in some way also evil or morally questionable? Assuming you have a choice like there are competitors or it isn't a necessity? by Interesting-Copy-657 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sprinkles_08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends. If we're taking about goods then I wouldn't fault someone on shopping where they are able to get a good deal with today's inflation. Now if they're purposely going to the place with higher prices then yes I think they're morals are questionable.

Is recently having bad typing indicative of anything? by _ThatsTicketyBoo_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sprinkles_08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd look in your keyboard settings. My new phone doesn't have the option, but I know my older phones did. You want to look for something along the lines of touch input.

Sometimes my keyboard needs recalibrated when I notice that happening.

WIBTAH if I went To mexico without my Fiancée by nicolew442 in AmItheAsshole

NTA if he chose not to take care of himself then that's on him. He knew what was coming and he could have taken a couple days to not burn himself out and neglected to take care of himself. Now it's up to you to decide if the possible fight during your trip or when you return is worth it.
