Day 6 Post Op
today is day 6 post op and I'm feeling great! In my last post I know I was concerned that I didn't go big enough. As the week has gone on, I am totally happy with the size so far. I can already tell when they drop and fluff they will be perfect! I think if I went any bigger it would make me look bigger or I would be embarrassed to have them too big.
The pain for me was never really that bad. I've been on top of my meds which really helps and just resting a lot. I've learned to use my legs and abdomen for scooting off and on the bed. I was worried about going to the restroom by myself but it was easy and I didn't need any assistance. When I finally got to shower it made me feel a lot better. I took my sports bra off for the first time for the shower and I felt like my boobs we're going to fall off haha! I am just not use to the extra weight on my chest. It was really helpful to have my boyfriend shower with me to help me clean up and wash my hair. He even blow dried it the best he could afterwards which was nice.
Dr Reid wants me wearing the sport bra 24/7 until I am cleared to wear a soft bra with no underwire after 2 weeks I think. I have my 10 day post op appointment on Wednesday and they will let me know when I can wear a bra with underwire.
So here are a few things I bought that really helped me through the week if anyone is wanting to know what they should get before surgery...
-fluffy study buddy pillow with the arms. Was like $20 at target
-bendy straws! I didn't think it was such a huge deal to get these but seriously helped
-plastic cup to drink out of. I used a red solo cup to drink out of through the week because our regular glass cups felt too heavy to pick up to drink out of
-Chapstick. My lips got super dry and chapped after anesthesia
-neck pillow that you use on a plane. This really helped the first few nights while sleeping 45 degrees. I'm not used to sleeping like that and my head would roll to the side and I'd wake up in the middle of the night hurting so bad! So the neck pillow helped keep my head in place.
-stool softener/laxative!!!! Seriously. This is the most important. Honestly the worst pain I had through this whole experience was in my stomach from being constipated (tmi but it's true!) I was in such agony on day 3-4 that I had to drink a whole bottle of magnesium citrate and that is not fun, trust me.
-ice packs or frozen peas. When one pack would start to get warmer, I would switch it out with another so I constantly could ice my chest. Icing makes it feel sooo much better.
Other than those things that's really all I would recommend you need. You don't have to go out and buy a million things you won't use again. Most of the stuff on the list I will reuse anyway.
So here are my stats -
5'9 height
130 pounds
Small 32a pre op
I got 410 sientra silicon in both breasts
Not too big and not too small! I feel like this is the size I was supposed to have all along! I'm so happy. Can't wait for the next couple months to see them drop.

Day 1 Post Op
Today is day 1 post op and I'm still feeling pretty good. I slept through most of the night last night except for when my alarm went off for my antibiotic and muscle relaxer. My first thought when waking up from surgery was "did I go big enough?" I looked down and felt like I couldn't really see much. 410 cc's was bigger than what I thought I was getting in the first place so I know they will be big enough.
Surgery went great though. The whole experience was a good one and I was proud of myself for not crying! Anesthesia always makes me cry like a baby for some reason. Everyone at Inspire was super nice and helpful with any question I had and helped prepare me for what to expect.
As of right now I don't have much pain just a lot of pressure on my chest. I will get to shower tomorrow and I'm excited and nervous for it. I'll be able to see my new boobs for the first time and I'm scared I won't like them because they obviously haven't dropped yet. So I'm curious to see them change and what I think of them over the next few weeks.
I have not gotten naseaus once and am pretty much able to eat whatever but I've kept my diet pretty light so far with soup and Mac and cheese. I will say the number one thing that has helped me so far is the pillow I'm laying on (I call it a study buddy) the big fluffy pillow with arms from target. Then my boyfriend got me a pillow for around my neck like you wear on a plane and I don't know what I would do without that. So anyone in the future getting surgery buy the airplane pillow at least! Makes it so easy to sleep.
