My PS said I can get out of my (loathed) surgical bra that makes me itch, as long as I wear wireless. Went to Marshall's and got some cheap, comfy sports bras that I can pull up and get into. I also tried on an Under Armour in a 32D and filled out the cups, which is pretty crazy. Decided not to get that - don't want to sink $50 on a bra that may or may not work later since it's so early. The Marshalls ones were $12 :)

Looking good so far! You are lucky to be able to escape your surgical bra, I was stuck in mine for an entire month. Very smart of you to hold off on the UA bra, the ones from Marshalls are probably just as comfy anyway!

Do you have any current pictures to post? I am currently thinking of the Sientra HP 350 or 375cc. Leaning more towards the 350, so I definitely would love to see updates on yours! They look good so far!

Any more updates? I'm thinking of this size. Are they over?

PO Day 2

I showered today, which was heavenly. I can wash my hair and all of that, as long as I don't make any sudden movements. Also took the gauze off my incisions. Due to an adhesive allergy, I only have dissolvable stitches and glue, no steri-strips. Some bruising on my left side incision and the incisions are pretty scary-looking right now.

Had an uncomfortable night last night but still managed to sleep, and woke up with Holy Morning Boob. Not comfortable. Left feels tighter than the right, which might make sense since left is the slightly smaller boob and both got the same implant?

Yesterday I thought they were small. Today they feel huge! And I know they'll actually get bigger as they D&F.

Congrats on the shower! haha I remember how amazing my first one felt, too. It's normal to go back and forth on how big/small you think they are. And they will get a little bigger when they drop and fluff. I hope you continue to have a good recovery!

Thanks! Yours look SO good. I'm jealous at how far along you are in your recovery, though I know I'll get there in time, haha. They look so natural and full!

Quick update - recovery is going well. I'm off my pain killers - not even taking ibuprofen. Mild periods of nausea due to pain meds this morning. My fault for not eating enough but my appetite was pretty non-existent until this afternoon. Now I'm just taking my antibiotics.

Slept like a baby on my wedge pillow last night - total must-have for post op IMO. No back pain - luckily I've always been a back sleeper. Woke up to take meds on time. By the time I went to bed last night I could sit up and get out of bed on my own and pull down and up my pants to pee. Afternoon was rough though. Today is even better. I can get out and move around on my own, dress myself, and lift my arms above my head. Energy is pretty much 100%, though I'm still taking it easy.

BF says even compressed by my pecs, boobs project similarly to my add 2 cup sizes bra (excited to throw that away!) and they're definitely fuller/wider, probably because we went with MP instead of HP.

You can judge for yourself though :)
