I relied so much on the reviews & support from the brave ladies that have gone before me, that I am going to tell my story as well. I was set on the breast aug, but went back-and-forth on the tummy because I am petite and look ok in clothes and a takini. I am pretty fit, and finally couldn't take the squishy belly any longer and went for it! I am one week out and it HURTS!! Trying to stay positive, but whew, this is a roller coaster! Yesterday I felt great, today I am wondering what I was thinking!!

Hang in there! You got this. Look how far you've come and it's only going to get better. Remember, it's always darkest just before dawn.

Focusing on the positive!

Feeling a little better every day. I am honestly surprised at how much the boobs hurt (and still hurt!) given how many women of all ages undergo breast augmentations. But, I guess it would be more tolerable without the tummy binder, sore back, etc. And I am sort of a complainer and a big wimp when it comes to pain - lol! But, the positives 10 days post-op:
- I am loving having boobs again, even though they are sore.
- I am able to drive! Yesterday I went to the blo salon to have my hair washed and then to my son's end of camp presentation. Somewhat normal again!
-I can sit on the floor with youngest and play, stand back up, pick stuff up, get in and out of chairs, beds, etc.
- Sneezing and coughing isn't as painful as the first few days (holy moly!)
I know every recovery is different, but I planned to be "out" for a full three weeks at least, so I am pleasantly surprised by this. Don't get me wrong, I am exhausted and just about crawling into my bed at 8 PM every evening.
Happy Saturday beautiful ladies! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

I am living in these pi's and loungewear post-op! So soft and not too expensive! I was an XS,S before and went with M bottoms and L tops, and the fit is good over swelling, binders, etc.

I sneezed for the first time today. I'm a triple sneezer. Afterwards I had to yell at my husband in his office "Honey I sneezed and didn't die!". I've been terrified to sneeze or cough for fear of the pain. I'm a big wimp. Glad you're feeling better. Slowly but surely we'll get through this!
