Ok guys I'm around 10 days out for my BL & BA. I've had my pre-op and made a final decision on size shape. I'm going with smooth round 450cc silicone. I've been getting the hubby, kids, myself, the house , bills, etc ready!! Ordering my vitamins tonight!! I'm so ready to do this! Scared of anesthesia and the nausea it gives me and also just not being there for all the families needs. I'm preparing meals ahead of time and getting ready to camp out in the recliner downstairs for a few days. Wish me luck! Next pics will be of my new girls!!

Best of luck! I am 3 days away from my BL & BA. I have been running around organising as much as possible for my household too! It's a great way to pass time & feel in control.

That is so true!!! Congratulations and good luck! I've also been working out like a crazed person! I hear we will retain alot of fluid the first few days.... but will go away on its own.

I've been eating really well, taking vitamin c & b and just taking good care of myself. I'm hoping the lift heals fast.. That's the part I think might slow me down. Still no nerves though!

The lift is definitely the thing that takes more time. I've had a day if nerves right at the beginning after I paid my down payment. I was hormonal and couldn't sleep and it messed with my head. Been good since after having a good talk with the hubby. He has been so supportive. I'll probably be fine until I walk through the doors. Then I'll be a wreck! Lol right now I'm super stoked to do this for myself!!

It the end of the day and I'm on the other side!! I did it, I did it!! My husband& kids have been wonderful. I have awesome friends who have checked in on me too. Im sleeping in the recliner tonight and probably for few days. I've been in and out of sleep all day. I'm close to the bathroom which is great because I'm letting go of some of that fluid. Then I take a walk around for a few minutes. Pressure on the chest and feels like I've done to many push-ups, but totally tolerable today. Staying on top of my meds and taking it easy. I know tomorrow through day 4 will probably be a beast. So excited to be done with the surgery! Love Dr. Hopkins and the whole staff. They are wonderful. Going for check up tomorrow at 10am. I let you know how it goes. Hope everyone is healing and staying up beat.. xxoo

Thank you! I hope your healing quickly. Today I'll try and get off the percocet & use motion instead. Also, last day for antibiotics. Morning boobs are strange lololol

I know.. I assume they hurt in the morning because if you're upright during the day, they work to drop into the pocket made for them. But when you lie down, they flatten & come up again? Either way, it sucks & I can't wait for mornings to be better!

I'm on day 4 and I'm am completely off percocet. I did have a muscle relaxer last night and a benadryl. I've had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics but that is normal for me. I went for a short walk outside with out any problems. I have the rolled up washcloth in my cleavage bc PS says my skin is stretchy. Wants to make sure the cleavage looks good. I ordered the thong bra but it's very uncomfortable. UGH! I feel like once the swelling goes down it'll be fine. Keeping up with the ice, massages and walks. I have feeling every where and my nips are nice and pink. I'm hanging in there!! Doc said everything looks perfect. Go back in 2 weeks

Good luck babe, I hope healing goes far from here. I felt most human from day 5 & on wards. Just take it easy though as day 7 I fainted after a shower even though I was feeling pretty good! Swelling definitely started to go away around day 5/6 as well :) look after yourself Sweet xx
