3 weeks to go! YIKES!! I haven't been sleeping, driving my husband insane and my poor children are being tormented with coming home to boob obessed mom! I am so excited I just can't contain myself. My husband told me I needed to relax and not stress about it. He clearly is the one that is insane. IF I didn't love him so much I might have clobbered him over the head..HUMPH tell me to relax. Does he not understand how long I have been waiting for this??? When I married him I was 110lbs, my waist was a size 23 1/2 and I had abs. He still thinks I look that way lol. Blinded by love. Good thing I love myself to not be that blinded lol. I tried out the rice sizers last night while my husband and boys went to the mall. I left the ones in that I am thinking about getting and my husband came home and was like "WOAH, I like that size." They were 550's. I haven't yet decided if I want saline or silicone. I like the real feeling of the silicone, but hate the thought of not knowing if it ruptures. I have gotten most of the stuff that I need. I will be sleeping in the recliner downstairs and my hubby said he will sleep down here with me. He is taking off from work, so I am so thankful for that. Did I mention he is fantastic? My preop is the 18th, and I will be glad to get in there and really nail down the exact specifics of the surgery. From having the BR done, I scar really well and didn't have any bruising from that. You can barely see my scars they are so thin and white. I am fairskinned so I am sure that plays a part. Thanks to this website I feel like I am totally prepared for what's to come, so thanks to all you ladies for letting me have a glimpse into your lives and recoveries!

I'm not sure how I'm going to get myself to chill over the next three weeks. I feel obsessed with real self and with every aspect of this surgery. I have to be driving everyone around me insane because I can somehow always figure out a way to relate any topic of conversation to my MM haha! I hope I calm down after surgery!

Hey saw your post saying you were going 550!! My friends keep telling me I'm going too small. Did 550 look huge on you? I tried on 500 and thought I was going to topple over. lol

What I did was started at 600 and went down from there using the sizers. I got to the 550's and wore them around the house doing some chores to see how comfortable they were. They felt just right but I might go down, just depends on the advise I get tomorrow at my preop. I know I don't want less than 500. Maybe start with a size you know would be to big and downsize from there till you are comfortable.

I think I have started the nesting period, without the cleaning part :-) I started stocking up on the essentials. Got the anica gel and tablets and the Bromelain. Spent $22 at GNC for all 3. I found a walker on craigslist for $15 and am now on the prowl for a shower seat. Think I will be ok without the toilet seat, my legs are pretty strong and I am short so I'm closer to the toilet than some ha! I'm getting so anxious now. Pre op is next week. I am not looking forward to the payment part. My husband said that he could buy a new car with the money I am spending. My son replied to that, "Mom is going to be your new hot rod!" Hope everyone is healing well..Happy thoughts make happy people!

Me too! I think I am more scared to hand over the money than for the actual surgery lol. I think I have pretty much gotten everything I need except for the button down shirt. Saving that for the last minute stuff because i am going to hate wearing it.

We are so in the same spot weight wise. I'm really wanting to get into the 140s before surgery too, I have 3 pounds to go. What are you doing to get your weight down?

I am doing the 17 day diet. I more or less eat like the diet everyday even though I am past the 17 days.

Its is probably really terrible in some peoples opinion but I only had 1 consult and that was with Pousti. I knew right away he was the one. I had other consults in different states and no one ever set me at ease right away. It will be interesting to follow your journey to see how our docs very.
