3 weeks post op!!
I went to the gym today and worked out on my legs. My right breast is sitting a little lower than my left, i think its because i did a lift on the left only. Both breasts are getting softer and softer and they feel great. Its my back that is KILLING ME! Has anyone else had the same problem. i thought my back was strong! i can do 7 pull ups..
Anyway i bought a really soft bra, i got tired of the surgery bra (plus it was getting to big). Im still taking my bromelain and eating alot of papaya to help with the swelling.
Emotionally - Although I'm so excited that i did this, i feel anxious alot lately. m walking 2 hours a day (in spurts so my heart rate doesnt go up too much) has anyone had that experience. Overall I'm very happy with the results and i'm super excited about them. I feel my clothes look so much better and much more confident. Anyway heres more pics

14 Days Post Op - I feel great! My breasts are getting softer and my back isn't hurting as much. Between day 7 and 12 it really felt like when my milk was coming in! It feels uncomfortable and you get some shooting pains but nothing crazy.
I did a little too much day 11 just rearranging my closet cuz i'm trying to sit still but afterwards my left breast muscle hurts so lesson learned don't do anything.
I have been going for walks everyday 1.5 miles, slow sometimes twice a day. i stop regularly so my heartrate doesn't raise too much. But it's driving me crazy not to go to the gym.
I'm starting to massage them a couple of times a day and it relieves pain/uncomfortableness. At first I was scared to touch them because they were so hard! but now i'm getting used to them. not sure if they've "drop" yet... ? do you feel that? I like them where they're at right now.

Great, super helpful update.
You say they look "huge". do you mean that in a positive way, you like your new look? Hoping so!
January 3, 2011
I really do. I'm really happy and wish i hadn't lived with my pancakes! For so long. I feel really good about myself

Thanks for posting your experience. I'm interested in a BA with this PS too. Do you mind sharing the impant size? Did Dr. G help you select the impant? Has the pain improved? It might be too early to tell, but do they feel "real" or weird? Sorry for all the questions...you're day after photos look really nice, he did a good job, congrats!

I feel really good today. I got 350 cc on each breast and silicone mentor. And he did arreolar lift on left breast only. His staff is incredible nice and helpful and informative. The doctor is great and really nice and a little in a hurry but every doctor is I guess. Anyway I felt really comfortable with him and I think he did a great job. The swelling is going down a little.

Okay, for one, they are not bowling balls. For another, MINE should look that good. And lastly, you not only got a better bosom, you got your waistline back, too. With deflated boobs, you couldn't tell you had a waist at all. Now you can! A real bonus when you think about it. They look very natural for 3 days old. Congratulations! I speak from experience, and I would say your doc did a fine job, especially so since he caught on that you needed a lift on one side BEFORE he did the implants. Bravo!

Oh right now still feels really weird but with clothes on I feel and look great !! I'm getting more excited everyday!

You said you liked to work out, me too (I used to look like a professional trainer, back in 2004); in regards to your back feeling strained, I know the best exercises for that, using small free weights, that will strengthen your muscles and make them look really tight and fabulous. I will email them to you. I did them myself for several years and got lots of compliments from people in the gym, and I have never had a "sore" or tired back as a result.

Please do email me the exercises. I worked out really strenuously for 2 months before surgery focusing on my back and before th surgery u could start to see some muscles for the first time. So I'm really surprised at how much my back hurts.
So tomorrow I go back to work. I would rather not share my experience with coworkers. How did u guys deal with noisy people?

When I got mine done my marriage had just broken up and I had moved into an apt. and changed careers... so I basically did not run into anyone I knew when I was a "A" cup, and my family did not see me often as they lived 100 miles away.
Your change is more dramatic than mine, so what you can do is create a small "decoy." Suggestion: Color your hair... don't change the color, but get a nice L'Oreal semi-permanent (lasts 28 shampoos) to boost your natural color and add some shine. Then when people say "there is something different" you can tell them about your hair. Also, you could get a new hairstyle. Not a radical change, but slightly different from what you normally wear. Updated, more youthful would be good.
Since you are going back to work, don't wear a fitted top right away. Try to wear something kinda loose if you can for the first few weeks.
I really recommend a hair color and style makeover regardless. It will put the finishing touch on your more youthful and improved appearance. Why go halfway?

Focusing on leg work and core exercises is a good idea until you hit the 30 or 6 week mark, whichever your dr. said. You should be able to do crunches and pushups with no problem, that will strengthen your back and not disturb your sutures. For pushups, start out doing 5 at a time(not girl pushups, do them like a guy, legs extended, balance on your toes); work your way up to 25 or 30 at a time a day. Pushups combined with "good mornings" will give you strong shoulders and back.
