Today is day 5 post surgery and Ive had quite a tough time of it (feeling very sorry for myself haha). For the same day and day after I was sick in total about 7 times, horrible! It was when I either sat up straight, tried to walk and also on the car journey home. Day 2- exhausted and stuffed up, no sick (yay)day 3- felt a bit better but still spent all day in my bed. At night I thought I would try a shower. BIG MISTAKE!!! Felt awful and as soon as my partner put shampoo in my hair, I needed out out out. Was feeling like I could be sick again or collapse. Not great plus half washed hair= unhappy girl. Day 4- yesterday. Much better. Walking about the house. More movement with arms. Not taking as much pills. day 5- today. Again fine today, but first day of being alone so was soooo bored and lonely. Felt exhausted after only a few hours. Cut down again on pills so only down to morning and night. So far zero movement in the girls. Rock solid. Nipples are possibly getting more sore than before?! Had that stabbing feeling in the left side, ouch that's the worst. They don't feel mine when I take my sports bra off, like they are literally away to fall off haha. So needless to say the only time it is off is to swap into a new clean one. Hence why in the pictures you will see that my pen marks are still on as I'm scared to rub them to get it off haha.

Hey! I think you look great. I know we are out worst critics, because I have yet to have fallen in love with mine. From my nipples down, they are still numb and I am 5 days post op. I think unders cause a slower healing process. Mine are 425cc, which I'm afraid are too big but I guess I won't know until they drop and fluff out. Good luck on your journey. You look good!

Thanks! I checked out your post and yours look amaze too! I totally get where you are coming from with the depression thing. I'm off meds now but very emotional and cry at everything haha!! Every day is getting better so I guess we should be patient and re-evaluate after a month or so :-)

Thank you for sharing your journey . Your girls look awesome ! Perfectly natural , did you have bruising ? Your skin looks truly glowing ! I can only hope mine looks as great as yours.

A bit of bruising in between at the bottom where the bone is but nothing major. Skin looks shiny as the skin has been stretched but it looks like Ive oiled them up haha

So I'm now just over a week and it does get better everyday! Ive been off meds since day 6 but get the blues sometimes. Im a bit emotional at things! No idea why and I'm not usually this bad haha. I'm praying for them to get a bit more soft as the girls are still hard as rocks!!
I took off my plasters (band aids for you Americans hehe) today as they were sore and pulling my skin. (You should see the red mark on my photo). I'm probably going to get a telling off as was meant to keep them on until my appointment next week.
Morning boob is still so bad! Feel like I'm back to day 1 with the pressure but after being up for 20 mins it's fine.
One thing I do notice is that I'm exhausted after doing something really small, like doing loads of washing I will be out of breath and need to sit down. Is this common, anyone else experience this? I would say I was a relatively healthy person pre op.
Thanks to all ladies who post their pictures and reviews. I've found this site my saviour, when something hasn't felt right and I needed a question answered I can count on it being here somewhere. No one knows I am blogging my journey on here as its never something I would have done but I feel I have got so much out of it and I feel it only fair that I too share my stories. :-)

I actually do feel short of breath... I went to the store when I was 7 days post op and after a while of walking around my breast started feeling very heavy and I felt like I wasn't able to breath right. I really hope that feeling goes away.

OMG Rony90! I'm having the same issue. I actually wasn't doing much but sitting at my desk working and I guess I have been used to sitting in a reclined position for the past week. Anyway, my chest started to feel heavy and I can't seem to catch a good breath. I called the doctor and everything. Anyway, I put work to the side, in in a reclined position and feeling better already.

Thank you for sharing your journey. I have no other friends who have had a BA except one, so they will not understand my reasoning or my journey. This site has helped me a great deal as well and blogging my journey has been extremely helpful as well. Keep posting. I'm only a few days behind you post op, so we're in this together. :)

In love with my new figure :-)

So I'm just passed the 6 week mark and I'm absolutely thrilled with my results. So as per title of this post was hoping for a C or D cup, I just got measured and..... 30F!! What is that all about? Haha. I've always worn 32 and I feel 30 is too tight. Couldn't bring myself to get an F as to be honest you don't get nice bras for that size hehe. I went for DD and E. After wearing a sports bra for 6 weeks an actual bra is weird. When I get home, I'm dying to take it off haha, underwiring is so uncomfy!
I'm loving how my clothes sit now and when I'm wearing tshirts you wouldn't think I had 'big' boobs.
So overall I'm delighted with my choice of 380cc silicone under the muscle implants. I will try get some pics up soon.
