Almost 1 month Post Op. Feels 'Normal' now!

My word! I am now breast obsessed. All I can think of is how many cc's, moderate profile or mid-range profiles, what will the recovery be like, how long till I can resume 'normal' activity etc etc etc.
Thank heavens for this site and all the other ladies whom share their stories to make what we are all going through seem normal!

My Word! I am truly obsessed. I am on RealSelf 3 times a day to check for more positive reviews and feedback from you girls on the other side of the BA journey. Thank heavens for you all.

The countdown has started for real now.... less than 2 months away- I am starting to go crazy in my own head. Second guessing myself - flip flopping back and forth about cc's and what profile I should request.

Having dreams about flying all the way to Jo-burg and then hearing a subconscious conversation whilst under on the operating table as to the PS not having my exact implant , but he thinks that ...'these would do.'

Other dreams about it going horribly wrong - and all the nay-sayers saying 'I told you so', and 'you had such nice boobs before [you did this]'.

Ahggghhhg.

I think the answer is that I am going to the bank tomorrow and I am going to wire the money in full. This should help me feel more grounded in the plan. This is not a decision made on a whim, however. I have thought about this for YEARS. I am sure this is just the normal pre-op psychology going on in my brain. Right?

Well, this morning I wired the FULL AMOUNT into my PS's offshore account. It's DONE. I am hoping that this will put my mind at ease.... past the point of turning back now. Now I just have to get used to my account with all those zero's missing! ;)

I have been (obsessively, yes) reading posts and reviews on this Life Saver of a site. Any of you now boobilicious girls notice that your figure has taken on a new dimension with boobs? Have read a few gals on another forum say that they feel like they have a smaller waistline now that the top half is balanced out? Anyone feel this way? Hoping so, as I have always been a bit not-curvy in the waistline department. As I have gotten older I feel as though my mid-section has gone form 'boyish' to 'tree-trunkish'! Wouldn't it be simply lovely if boobs gave me a hint of a waistline?

2lbs a week. Gotta lose a bit of this weight. I took pre-photos today of my whole body and I was in for a major shock!

I think I have Reverse Body Dismorphia - I think I look BETTER than I ACTUALLY do! lol!!

Yikes! My daughter took the photos and I almost choked on my own tongue. I am fat and must lose at lease 8-10lbs before this thing happens next month.
Anyone else did the same? Were you successful?

These last few weeks of waiting are slowly killing me. I flip flop back and forth on size and profile, and am I doing the right thing, and should I be doing my eyelids at the same time, will that be too much to manage.... bla bla bla. I am not sleeping that great at night, and feeling tired and anxious in the day..... I wish I could just fast forward the whole thing to tomorrow and get on with it! How are all my gals out there doing with the pre-op clock watch?

My op is in 5 hours.... Simply cannot sleep. It is 4 am and we leave the house at 7am..... Had a great pre-op with my PS yesterday so just gotta roll with it. I am having my upper and lower eyelids done at the same time, so will spend a night in hospital. Should be released on Wed around lunch time. Eeeeeek!
Wish me luck girls, we shall chat on Thursday.

Ended up with 240 in left breast and 280 in the right. Feeling pretty great. Only took pain meds for 2 days. Have started Implant Displacement Exercises- Trying to do them 5+ times per day. I think that although I have relatively small implants, they will still soften and generally improve over the next few months. Overall, I am very happy with the result.

Day 10. Feeling more like part of me now. Started kind of sleeping in my old positions and feeling a bit more comfortable. Have a couple of smallish Mondor's Cords forming under each breast but confident that they will pass with massage. Happy Healing to all the New Girls out there! :)

Now feeling more and more like 'mine'..... softening up and getting more comfortable in the day to day and sleeping at night.

Almost a month post op now.... feels 'normal' to have this size of boobs. I never thought I would say it out loud but there are times I second guess myself for going so natural. Than I think that I am 45, these are a nice realistic size for me. All my friends think that they are amazing.... So just settling into life as normal now filling out my old bras ( same size - small D...) And that's ok. :)

Wow. It's all over.

My incisions are hidden perfectly in the fold and almost gone. I still must keep them taped for another 6 weeks. I do my implant displacement exercises religiously. They feel very solf and to be honest - no one really notices as I used to stack up the old floppies in a massive padded bra with cutlets at times..... So I now wear the same size bra - just no padding or inserts.

I must share with all of you that there were moments that I thought that giving the size decision completely to my PS was a mistake - that i should have gone a bit bigger. From reading all the stories on here I think that's a common feeling. It has passed. These boobs are the perfect fit for me, my age, and my lifestyle. If I DO get the feeling - all I do is go and check out the breast implant revision page or explant page! I was right to trust my PS - he made a very sound decision based on the experience he has on performing 7000+ breast augmentations.
