Oh Honey... huge, huge (((hugs)))!! I can soooo relate!
It's been more than 5 years since my BA but I can still vividly remember going to the Mothers Day Tea at my son's preschool when I was about two weeks post-op. I'd made the mistake of wearing a white, clingy top and felt so huge and self-conscious the whole time. It was miserable!
At my one week post-op appointment my PS had told me that 95% of my swelling was gone and I was the size I'd be. From there I went straight to the store to shop for bras because he'd also released me from the horrid surgical bra. I fully filled out C cups and even fit some D cups. I was horrified! This is coming from completely nothing btw. Six weeks later when I went bra shopping again I could fill some C cups but fit more comfortablly into B's. Maybe I didn't actually shrink, but they changed dramatically in shape and looked considerably smaller. Maybe it was just the dropping, I dunno. What I do know is my breasts at one week post-op are not even close to the final outcome, and I mean that in the best possible way.
Take heart Sweetie, it's not over yet. Keep with the loose-fitting shirts for a few more weeks until you've dropped, and I'm positive you'll feel much better about things. :-)
