Right now is the last time that I will ever wear a DD size bra again! I'm so looking forward to smaller less noticeable boobs. I'm a little nervous, but am ready to get it over with and start moving forward! I'll be able to exercise/run.... jumping jacks! Less cleavage! I can't wait!

I agree with peediewife suggestions of natural healthy diet after surgery. and did go fruit veg for 10 days, along with my multivit and vit c. But on day 11, I still felt weak despite my healthy diet and decided to add a slow-release iron tab, since we are refueling our blood volume lost during surgery. Now I have felt more stamina with the iron tab. I was craving spinach too, so I bought more of that to get the real thing. Now I was advised not to take iron supplements after menopause since no need to rebuild blood cells each month once periods are gone, and too much iron supplements could impact liver kidneys etc. So I just bought one bottle of 30 tabs iron, and will discontinue once done. Younger ladies may still need some iron due to monthlies. Also I could not do prune juice, so a can of peaches with the peach juice/syrup for breakfast each day for 3 days, did the trick. Best wishes for happy healing. Rest.....rest..rest...do Not try to do too much too soon.

It's almost go time! I've planned as much as I can, bought everything I can think of and I THINK I am mentally prepared. I keep reminding myself of the POSITIVE things that will come from this. I will FINALLY be able to run and do jumping jacks without having hold my boobs while wearing TWO sports bras. I will FINALLY have clothes that actually fit. People will FINALLY talk to me instead of to my boobs!

I do have to admit the fear of the ugly/nasty scar though. I still want to look beautiful for my husband.

I found out today that my insurance is going to pay 80%. 80% of the hospital visit and 80% of the doctor's office fee..... After all is said and done, my portion will be around $2,500. The cost was a let down, but I have to look at the bright side.... it's much better than having to foot the entire bill.

There's no waiting for a better time.... the better time than NOW, so I am going for it!
