Wow 16 days post op and it has flown by!!! I don't have much time, leaving for work soon, but I am so much happier with my shape and I definitely recommend doing the surgery if you are on the edge about it. The only part that sorta hurts alittle is near the armpit and on top of the breasts. I think they are around a DD right now, maybe they'll go down to a D, we'll see! And I uploaded a new pic, sorta dark but yay! Ok talk to you all soon and I hope you're having a great new year!

Just found your pictures online and they make me so excited. I am scheduling my surgery soon and your body shape and breast size before surgery are similar to mine. Your results are amazing! I'd love to see a more recent picture of your healing, since you have had a few months to recover. Hope you're doing well!!!

Merry Christmas Eve!!! Well early morning atleast lol. Ahh nothing's changed at all, went out to my friends for a bit earlier and I think I've been moving around too much cause I've had a bit of bleeding on the underside stitches of my boobs :/ but I think it could also be from moving around at night! I've stopped taking pills because I barely have any pain at all and but now it is so hard to sleep! I toss and turn for atleast a good hour and nothing is comfortable. I've been a stomach sleeper for as long as I can remember so this whole sleeping on back thing stinks :( as of now it's 5 till 2 am so hopefully I can fall asleep soon ugh. Well hope you all have a great day :)

I am not a back sleeper either! So because of that I take 2 Tylenol Pm's and that does the trick. It makes me stay asleep and I'm not tossing and turning. You should try it!!!

Yay!!! So today is Saturday, 3rd day postop and aahh so much better!! Yesterday sucked compared to today. Today I finally got to shower which took awhile cause I felt dizzy when I got up but felt so good to finally change!! And I saw my boobs finally! I was so nervous about it but I'm very happy with how they look so far :) (I uploaded a picture taken when I got out of the shower) they are still very awoken and alittle tender to touch, so hopefully they'll become alittle smaller but ahh so exciting!! I wore my surgical bra for the first time today and it was pretty tight but it really holds them down. And I actually left the house for the first time since surgery and it felt great! I took one pill just a few hours ago so I'm probably going to doze off soon. Talk to you all soon!!!

I'm taking my first shower tonight... Man I feel DISGUSTING! I haven't showered since Wednesday morning... I can't wait. I sent my husband to Walmart and he's going to buy me a bigger size genie bra, the ones I got are a little too small with the swelling but should fit perfect once the swelling/tenderness goes away. My surgical bra has a bunch of spots that poke me and are just very uncomfortable so I've got my fingers crosse the genie bra will work out!! You are looking great so far, congrats! We made it!

The shower felt SO good hahah I ended up filling it with water and then sitting down while I shampooed and turned the water on to rinse it out because I had eaten before so I was alittle dizzy but aahh felt great afterwards hahah and ohh a genie bra sounds comfy!! The one I have fits well and it's really soft so ill most likely wear this for the week and then wear the ones that I bought which are alittle smaller. But thank you, and yours look great as well!! So happy that I did it and so happy that I'm finally starting to feel better hahah

That's my plan, I'm going to put a few inches of water in the tub and sit down to wash my body, and my husband is going to wash my hair for me. I think it sounds amazing :)
