Hi Laura!
I had a double mastectomy and decided not to have a reconstruction. Prior to surgery, I asked a friend to use hypnotherapy to plant some positive thoughts within me, about the fact that I was still the same person.
I also wrote a eulogy for my boobs. Just another way to prepare for the change.
i had to change my wardrobe too. My tops are the smaller size and I usually go for some design, or embroidery on the front.
I found mindfulness and walking post op helped immensely. If I missed a day, that would be my tears day.
Hope this helps.
