I haven't felt a "loss" at losing my breasts but lately I've had a hard time appreciating my body. It has been very difficult trying to get dressed some days, especially this past weekend. Brian and I had somewhere to go, and I wanted to look good. So far a lot of what I've worn I would just consider "okay". I've warn a lot of T-Shirts and button up cotton shirts but found it very frustrating to pull things out of my walk in closet FULL of clothes and not feeling like I had many options. Most of what I have either wasn't flattering to my new body, or was not easily worn with the sports bras that I've currently been wearing.
Surprisingly enough, today's fill gave me a huge boost. Literally and figuratively :) I am starting to see shape and size to my new chest. For the first time since this process started I finally feel like others can now see me taking shape. I finally don't feel so self conscious about my chest.
I finally have made appointments with 2 different oncologists. I will be meeting with someone at the Zangmeister Group as well as someone at the James next week. More updates to follow when I have met with these doctors.
Just for the record, it's ok not to appreciate your body...that's Brian's job anyway! :)
