Getting closer

So... I received my paperwork in the mail read and signed it all. Been trying to work out as much as possible since I will be unable to for awhile post-op. Also getting my paint done in the master bath, definitely can't do that after surgery. It is looking really good and will be nice to have a nice new bathroom to get ready in. The walls are going from white to coffee with cream color the trim, baseboards and closet door are going from gray to off white and the vanity is going from gray to Sweet molasses. Changes happening all around. Me and the bathroom.
Need some advice on bra shopping. What should I buy for post BA before they actually settle and gain their final size? My instructions say no under wires for 6 months. Also are hot tubs allowed about a month post-op?

Go big or go home

Date set. Called today to set the date for new boobies. Feb. 24. 6 1/2 weeks from now. Decided to go with the 425cc. At the consultation me and hubby were torn between the 400cc and the 425cc sizes. Really not a big difference. Thought we would get the 400s when we left, but after talking it out we thought if we were unsure, we should go with the bigger ones to avoid boob regret. so now the pre-op prep begins
-make appt. with reg. Dr. for exam
-buy supplies
-clean house
-set up child care
-get hair done
-finish bathroom painting, I started taping it off now I just need to paint
-????? I know there is more but I can't think of what else.

My hubby wants me to keep this on the DL. He is afraid of what people will think. I could care less because it is my body and my body image. Of course he is all for it and is looking forward to me having bigger boobs. My mom knows and she thinks it is great also.

I am on day 5 PO. feeling OK. Still sore but not enough to take pain meds. The last one I had was Thurs. night before bed.
I took another shower today and that does take a lot out of me. Feels odd to have the CG off. still have my drains. I go see my PS on Tues. Crossing my fingers that they can come out then.
I walk around the house, up and down stairs but nothing real active. I guess you could say that I am giving up strenuous activity for Lent. and I gues my hubby is too LOL.
Sleep was difficult last night hope it gets better.
I am looking forward to getting back to normal only with a new tummy,
