I hope it goes away soon... Having stomach ache and bloating almost all times is so annoying. I'm doomed either way if I eat or not so I will eat as much as I need regardless of the pain, my metabolism is such that I very soon run out of energy completely if I don't eat often enough. Weirdly this happens even when I'm quite chubby and not exercising much. I've been having my estrogen levels a bit of a mess so if that is making this harder, I wouldn't be surprised.
Oh the new bra will be amazing, I know it. The cool thing is modifying it to a perfect fit. But I know how ELomi sizing works so I'm confident it'll be spot on, likely with some space to grow into at first.
Niaja, I've been taking a break from pumping as I've been too busy for it and having had to heal blistered and dry nipples all the time has been hindering the process. Also the herbal concoction I've been on is very expensive to keep going so I've been taking it slow for now. Still milking droplets every day almost when ever I want to. So still very much active, just much lesser on supply for now. I have a month before my surgery so plenty of time. I'm trying to get more hours into pumping as soon as I can. ITs just this crazy cold messing up my skin, including nipples. We get very dry air here during winter and right now, it's -24c outside and it goes super dry when temperatures drop this cold. I have always had skin problems when air goes too dry so every winter is like this.
I have a plan about lactation, this has been a very successful trial run on it, but I want to try a combination of the methods I've already used, but with a small to moderate dose of domperidone to help with it. I'm planning this for spring time if possible. Meaning after I have recovered from the surgery. (Initial recovery takes approx 3-5 weeks, all swelling goes down and resulsts are pretty much final in about three months.)
