Post-op day 3
Before I was hoping I didn't go too small, now I'm hoping I didn't go too big! It's too early to tell of course :)
Post-op Day 2
Feeling a little better each day. I have more flexibility with arm movements , but have a lot of nerve pain in my left breast. Hoping this means I'm regaining feeling back. The worst part of the day is waking up after napping or sleeping, I wake up super sore and tight. I'm trying to wait more between meds, because zofran and hydrocodone both cause constipation and I haven't had a bowel movement yet. I have been taking docusate twice daily and started to take milk of magnesia. I haven't really eaten much so I think that's my biggest problem. I have senna as my next step if I haven't gone by this afternoon. Have a little decaf coffee this morning too.
I go back to work Monday, have Tuesday off and work Wednesday. As long as I continue to progress I should be okay. I'm trying to slowly stretch my arms to help out. My first pre-op appointment yesterday was super quick. I just went into a room, the nurse took off a few bandages and I got the first look at my new breasts! They looked a lot bigger than they so when I'm in bed looking down at them. I'm hoping they shrink a little bit. I would be okay if they didn't though. I didn't see any bruising so I'm excited about thy too. I can't wait to start feeling a little Better so I can try a few clothes on :)

Day 1 post-op, on the other side !
Yesterday was a long day for me! I went to work from 730-2, came home and washed my boobs with antibacterial soap one more time and got my sweats on. My husband drove me to the doctors surgery center, and we arrived right around 4, my expected arrival time. I was allowed to eat breakfast before 10, and have just little sips of water up to noon. Work was crazy so I got a little Gatorade and some fresh watermelon around 930. I usually don't get to eat lunch, but today I felt so hungry knowing I couldn't go home and eat!
Upon arrival I had to sign one more paper, and ended up waiting around 30 minutes to go back to my prep room. I had to pee in a cup one more time, and change into booties a hair net and a gown. Another half hour later a nurse came in and put in my IV. By the time my PS came in, it was almost 6 pm. Of course I didn't want them to rush anything, but it was a lot of waiting alone with my thoughts, lol. My mind was racing all over. My PS took some before pictures and asked about size. I decided to stick with 325, even though I was on the fence for awhile. At that point, I was no longer worried about 25 cc either way.
A few minutes later I was led into the OR where i met the anesthesiologist, who was very kind and friendly. He made me feel very safe in his hands. I didn't even feel when he hooked up the drugs , no burning or anything. I then remember trying to wake up, but without my glasses I'm pretty much blind and it's hard to know what's going on. I don't remember getting in the car or anything on the way home. I kind of remember getting up the bed. I remember asking for some meds from my husband and eating a cracker and water. I slept maybe an hour, and woke up feeling my chest muscles super tight. The Valium really helped more than the norco. My PS said I had to get up and walk about every 1-2 hours. I couldn't walk more than a few steps without feeling dizziness and nausea. It felt like I woke up every hour! Sleeping was also less painful while bring propped up by pillows. My chest felt a lot heavier when I was more horizontal.
This morning I felt very tight and sore ! I even still have some nausea. Eating some crackers and powerade, taking my meds religiously. The pain comes and goes. When it's bad, it's bad. Right now I'm okay, fighting to stay awake to finish this update!
I have a post op visit at 330 today, excited to see them without the bra! I already Love how they look! I go back and forth from looking big and just right to having a little boob greed, way too early for that !
Good night for now !
