Scheduled for 8/16

Sleeping has gotten SOOO much better. Still using a neck pillow tho but I’m able to sleep on my side with little discomfort. I’ve started using the scar salve from Jenny Eden this week because I noticed the left scar is more bumpy than the right. I went to the gym last night for the first time since before my surgery & did 30min on the stair master. Felt so good to go back. Theres a small burn on my right boob that looks like a bruise. I was scared that I had a Hematoma but it came from falling asleep with an ice pack on my chest. I still don’t have any feeling in my nipples but it’s slowly coming back. I might look into getting scar strips or something else for my scars. Leave a comment if you know what works.

I haven’t been taking pics like I should be but today I noticed that my chest isn’t as tight which makes sleeping a little bit easier. The first few nights sleeping was a breeze probably because of the meds but at night four I tossed & turned. I even slept in the theater chairs my boyfriend has & that was pretty comfy. The wedge pillow helps my after the first few days my butt hurt from sitting up & sleeping all night lol. I went back to work three days after my procedure. Took all six of my prescriptions for a full week. The pain was completely bare-able.. I honestly thought it would be way worse. The tightness was more uncomfortable than anything else. Some sharp pains & soreness that I think was my muscle contracting but it came & went. My boobs were completely numb at first & right now I think I’m slowly getting the feeling back because they randomly feel tingly. Also I can tell that they’re dropping because right under my boobs below the incision in the crease I guess is really sore right were my ribs are & it wasn’t before. I went to my week post op appt this past Friday & it was short & sweet. I can start massaging them at two weeks. I started early just because I felt like it wasn’t painfully to move them so why not. Three times a day but I find myself touching them a lot through out the day lol. I’m extremely happy with how they look & I’m excited to see the end result. We’re going on a cruise in March & my birthday is also in March so trust & believe I will be showing off the girls. My goal was to be a D but regardless of the bra size I have way more boob now then I’ve ever had before. Already my outfits & tops fit so much better. My body looks SO much more proportionate. I have no regrets so far & I can say that my surgeon did an amazing job.

Tomorrow is the day.. I’m so anxious! I’ve been counting down since last Friday. Idk about anyone else but Ive been having horrible nightmares about the whole experience. One that I Over slept & missed my surgery & another that they weren’t able to fit my implants in so they just closed me up & I didn’t get any boobs. Also, my mom won’t be here for my procedure. I think that’s the part that worries me the most, but my bf will be taking care of me & I trust my physician completely. Praying that everything goes well. I picked up my prescriptions, spoke to the pre-op nurse at the surgery center yesterday & bought all of my pre-op needs (ice packs, wedge pillow, neck pillow, heating pad, Jenny Edens Boobie Butter & Salve). I’ve been using the butter for about two weeks & I like it. I think it’s gonna go a great job at keeping my skin from drying out when I get my boobs. I plan on going back to work the following Tuesday & I work in a doctors office, so I ordered this scrub top that snaps up the front opposed to the ones I have to lift over my head. I’m praying the pain will be manageable by then. I haven’t really told anyone about my surgery so I’m kinda curious to see how everyone will react. Regardless of anyone’s responses though, I did this for me. Not because I don’t love myself, but because this is something that I’ve wanted for years & finally got the opportunity to pursue it.
