Oops! I forgot to update after my first post-op last Thursday.
Everything has been going great though! I am feeling pretty much 100% and I'm having to consciously restrict myself from doing too much. I don't feel any discomfort anymore, they just feel a little "tired" toward the end of the day.
At the post-op Dr. Kim said everything was healing well and sitting where they should. He removed my stitches and put on steri-strips that he said would come off within the next week (they did today). He cleared me to drink and resume taking my supplements. He also said I could wear a less restrictive sports bra. I started massaging as well and not feeling any pain or discomfort when doing that.
Scars are looking good as far as I'm concerned and really happy with the size as swelling is going down. I love that people can't really tell I got them done while I'm wearing a sports bra-- that's really what I wanted for the day-to-day but wanted to be able to take off my bra and still see the same curves!
He said at my 3 week post-op we can talk about getting back to working out! I can't wait!!!

Looking better already & feeling back to normal
Today is day 4 post-op and I'm feeling great! I went for a long walk today and it was really nice to get out of the house and enjoy the great weather SoCal is having right now. It was difficult for me to walk slow enough to keep my heartrate constant. I can't wait to get approval to get back to at least cardio.
My right breast has a weird pain in it that has pretty much been there since day 1 so I'm not too worried about it. It's in the side of my breast and comes and goes and subsides when I put some pressure on it. The left breast feels completely fine and I almost have a full range of motion back.
My mom left last night and I managed just fine today on my own. I realized that my protein powder was on the top of my refrigerator though and I had to macgyver a way to get that down with a broom. Heading back to school tomorrow! Hoping for positive reactions-- I think I've told most all of my friends what I was doing.
I'll update again after my post-op on Thursday!

Day 1
Ugh worst night sleep ever! I'm a side/tummy sleeper so being propped up last night was super hard for me. I also kept twitching and would wake myself up :( My back is also killing me from sleeping that way. I had a pillow under my knees and occasionally put one in the small of my back but it definitely still hurts. Any tips?
I'm not sure about size right now but I know I can't judge at this point. They seem like they might be a bit bigger than I wanted but some of it might be swelling too. Not too big to be unhappy about at all just maybe not ideal.
Pain is still almost none. I took a painkiller to help with a more comfortable sleep, but haven't had any real boob pain.
I spoke to the doc this morning when he called to check in me and he said everything went great. He told me I could use my arms more today just still to not lift anything heavy. I'm probably gonna try to go mall walk or something later with my mom. I opened up the bra to remove the sponges that were placed in there and snuck a peek and a picture :) I also found some graham cracker crumbs in between my boobs lol!
Feeling a little bloat today in my lower tummy but not horrible. My throat is sore too. Not sure what that's from.
So far so good!

Congrats! You look great. Did they put you in a bra to go home? Or did you go out to get your bra? How do you know what Size to get?

Thanks! I'm feeling great too! My doctor told me beforehand to bring a front zip bra. He told me to get a size that fit comfortably now but not super tight. I got a 32C Where I'd normally get a 32B. His assistant described the fit to be something you'd wear to yoga but not something you'd wear to run.

Glad to hear there is so little pain for you. I'm getting surgery in mid-june, and want modest breasts as well, so I'm curious to see how you end up feeling about the size. I'm thinking 275. I hope all continues to go well for you. Happy healing!

Its seriously been way easier than I expected. My mom was shocked and joked that it was more like me taking care of her (I taught her how to use a nutribullet and uber while she was here). I hope its just as easy for you. The doctor and nurses seemed to think it was because of my fitness level, so try to get your body as healthy as possible beforehand! I'll keep my page updated with progress :)

Your throat may have been sore from the breathing tube that was used during your general anesthesia. Good luck with the rest of your recovery!
