WORTH IT

Day 2 have been home since last night I'm feeling pretty good but everything seems so loud right now, must be from the morphine. I love how I can breath deeply and feel like a lot of weight has been lifted off my chest. I definitely feel like it is worth having this procedure done. I actually look proportionate now even with bandages on. Can't wait to see my results in the next few months

Early morning day 3 post op I am awake laying in bed while the rest of the family sleeps. I prepared myself with possibilities of sleeping on the recliner but found that is was uncomfortable to my neck, the couch was my best friend yesterday. Tonight I slept in the bed and have found I don't need the extra pillows for my arms which is nice. My guess is b/c I didn't have anything taken from under my arms. I definitely can't wait to sleep on my side again. I keep wanting to take peeks at my new perky boobies but I wasn't told to change bandages unless they were soggy. I didn't have drain tube either and only had the left side draining a bit. My left side seems to be the only one with a an occasionally stitch that pulls but my surgeons said it looks good and not to worry that I won't pull it out if I am doing only what I am allowed to do. Vicodin has been kicking my butt like 30 mom after taking it. I only take 1 pill like every 4-6 hours. My shoulders and neck feel funny mostly b/c I am holding them in a new position and the pillows propping me up have been uncomfortable. Wondering if I can lay flat on my back or if it is bad to do so. It doesn't hurt me but thought that I would be propped up for a while. Well gtg I am really hungry and it is 4 am.

So today is day 4 PO and my pain is basically gone but I feel so weird walking around and realized I can actually stand up straight but find my self still hunched and my husband said that is how I have always walked lol. Never realized the hunched walking. My two year old just tried getting in my lap and put her elbow into my right breast can you say ouch!!!! It is still hurting. I still haven't gone number 2 hoping today is the day.

Looking good. You will feel so much better after #2. I felt so bloated and after what a relief. I am so overjoyed I had this done. This is the best thing I have ever done in my whole life. I will be forever grateful to my plastic surgeon.

So finally I have gone #2 several times today just knew a dd coolatta would do it for me lol. I was a bad and have been taking my bra and bandages off mostly b/c I feel they need to breath a bit plus I like to look. No pain really today so I haven't taken meds at all except for the antibiotics. Tonight I was really bad and snapped the most recent photo and it felt weird standing up without support so I quickly put the bandages and bra back on. It is crazy that my left side is more swollen and had the drainage sice it was my smaller side and had less taken from it. I can't wait for Monday when I go back to my PS and get to wear a sports bra. My incision lines look great most of the dark color in the pic is the purple marker. Some bruising starting and I find it weird that my nipples don't look round curious if anyone else had that issue at first and if with healing there shape becomes more round. Night now and will post again tomorrow.
