6 Days Post Op
I uploaded a few pics from last night. They keep looking and feeling better and better. I finally feel like a normal woman. Last night I got more sleep than I have since the surgery.

I had my 2nd Post Op appointment today. He said that they look great! He thinks they look like those of someone who is 2 weeks post op instead of 6 days. I'm still wearing the surgical bra and band, and have found that my boobs feel so much better when I'm wearing it.

I've worn a regular bra out, and they feel weird in it. Today my left one felt as if it was alive! LOL It felt like it was moving around. The same way your belly feels when the baby is kicking around. A little painful, and kinda like a funny bone is being hit. It zaps me.

So far, I am so very happy that I went through with this. The pain was a small price to pay to gain my confidence. I actually like bikinis now. Some people look at this surgery as a vanity thing. I didn't do this for attention, or to become a stripper. I did this to feel like a woman. I recommend this surgery to any woman who is self conscious about her breasts. I have become a whole woman now.

Post Op Day 4. Last night I woke up at 3 and 6. I had to get out of bed and walk around a little bit. My back was hurting so badly, I guess from sleeping in the same position. But, it was so easy to get out of bed compared to the previous days. Yay!! I haven't taken anything for pain today either.

I'm loving the way they look and can't wait to see them on my regular body. I'm still bloated. Really bad!!! I haven't had a bowel movement yet. This kinda worries me. I look pregnant. I've taken laxatives 4 days in a row. I've eaten plenty of fresh fruits and veggies. What else can I do?

My surgical bra doesn't hurt nearly as bad anymore. Things are going great. I made it through my daughters pageant yesterday. And feel good enough today to go out.

Thank you ladies who share words of encouragement. That's why I fell in love with this site. I will try to upload more pics today.

So here it is Saturday, surgery was done on Wednesday. Guess that means this is Day 3 Post Op.
I can't believe how good I feel right now. Getting out of bed wasn't nearly as hard this morning. And I haven't taken a pain pill all day. Only a muscle relaxer this morning.

I'm here at my daughters pageant, first time I've driven since the surgery. And it felt kind of foreign. But, I did fine.

I changed into a front close sports bra. After letting the boobs out of that restricting surgical bra, I have to say I kind of want it back on now. Even though it hurt, I think I feel too floppy now.

My breasts are very tender, still hard, still high. I have to massage them 3 times a day to help with dropping.

Hope all is well with all you who are healing. I never thought I'd feel this good on day 3.
