I'm commissioning as a U.S. Naval Officer in less than 9 months and only 2 weeks from getting "the twins" (aka 375cc implants). I've been a fairly active person my entire life and was born into an IBTC family, so I was basically doomed to be less busty from the beginning.

I've just finished my pre-op blood work and its finally setting in that in 2 weeks I will be going in for my procedure! I haven't started getting anxious yet, but I'm sure the nerves will come a few days prior. I will be staying with my boyfriend during my recovery (my surgery is the Friday before the Thanksgiving holiday so the "hardest" part should be over by the time daily life resumes) and have started making my checklist of things to get done before surgery.
They include: clean sheets, clean apartment, Harry Potter movies (8 disk collection), ice packs, extra strength tylenol (for when I want to get out and do things without the side effects of pain meds), button down flannels (to make getting dressed easier post-surgery), VS satin PJs (to wear around the apartment during recover also button down top), prescriptions (the PS is calling in my prescriptions the day before the procedure in order to have it filled before the day of), and I'll prepare several tupperware containers with meals pre-op so that my boyfriend has one less thing to do for me.

If anybody has any advice on pre-op nerves, preparation, or just a general what to expect those first couple of days, I am all ears! I will post my pre-op pictures soon!

Sounds like you're almost ready! Just in case, here is a helpful list of recovery supplies you may want to have on hand. Good idea on prepping some meals ahead of time. Feel free to join the November 2015 breast augmentation surgery forum. Looking forward to your pictures!

Your surgery prep sounds just like mine! lol I purchased a satin robe to wear while I'm at home and I'm a HP junkie too (I went to the Harry Potter park at Universal Orlando three weeks ago!) I'm having my carpet cleaned the Monday before while I'm still able to move furniture and cleaning my house from top to bottom and in true meathead fashion, prepping food and protein! Are you going over or under the muscle?

Ooh satin robe? That sounds like my kind of recovery! I saw that you were hoping to go watch Hunger Games. I prepurchased my tickets as motivation to go get out of the house post-surgery in hopes to get my mind of the pain (even if I go in just my PJs)!

I have decided to go sub-muscular due to my lack of breast tissue in order to cover the implant. After talking to the doctor, I have decided to suspend my heavier pec-activating lifts indefinitely and possibly modifying them for good with the sub-muscular (which is terribly sad because chest/tri day is my favorite)

Check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf8kYsNAo8k from PJ Braun who is a highly acclaimed bodybuilding coach on exercises you can do with implants. I found it helpful! Good luck!

I am attaching my before and projected after photos from the Vectra 3D imaging device that my PS uses! What a cool piece of technology and now I am even more excited about my procedure!
