After Breast Reduction: Hydration Isn’t the Whole Story


After breast reduction surgery, everyone talks about drinking more water — but few talk about whether your body is actually absorbing it. In this reflection, I share what I learned about electrolytes, mineral balance, and how hydration really works during healing.


This post is part of my From the Vault series, revisiting the earliest pieces of my breast reduction journey and sharing them again for anyone who may have missed them. It’s a reminder that healing isn’t about doing more — it’s about giving your body what it truly needs to recover.

Hi, I'm Shelley Beyer.

I’ve been through breast reduction surgery myself, and I’m here to support other women on that same path—before surgery, after surgery, and in the everyday healing that comes after.

​

I believe in reducing inflammation through a carnivore way of eating, preparing the body with intention, and creating space for the emotional, physical, and spiritual recovery this journey invites.

 

If you're navigating your own transformation, I’m so glad you're here.
