Lift with Mentor MemoryGel 325cc Smooth Round High Profile Implants

Physically I’m feeling really well. I drove my car for the first time today. I took my son to get a hair cut. Truthfully though, I was quite wore out when I got home.

I had a bit of a sad spell this afternoon. It’s hard bc my family is going off to do fun things and I’m just not physically ready to do stuff. Also, I’m extremely active. I do CrossFit 5 days a week. (That was one of the reasons I was able to lose over 50 pounds.) I knew beforehand that being away from the sport I love and the CrossFit community would probably be the most difficult thing for me. When I get more energy I plan to go in and coach though. At least then I’ll still be in the gym. This will be hard though bc I’ll have to use others as examples. I won’t be able to demonstrate lifts or techniques myself. I say all this to say I believe one of the reasons I had a pity party today was due to CrossFit. Saturday’s are my favorite day for CrossFit. We do partner workouts on Saturday. I watched my husband get dressed and leave for CrossFit this morning and I felt super jealous.
Anyway, enough about that! I am most happy today with the way my boobs look! It makes me excited to see how they will end up!

I’m doing really well. I haven’t taken any drugs for two days. I did have to take a ibuprofen last night though. I get tired and lightheaded easily just by doing small tasks. I over did it yesterday with laundry, sweeping, and cooking. As a result, I was extremely swollen and uncomfortable!

My boobs are huge and hard right now but will settle down after the swelling goes away and after they drop. So far I’m happy with the way they look.

I went to my first post op appointment this morning. They checked the incisions and made sure my Areola’s and nipples were getting enough blood circulation... gross I know but they can literally fall off if not!!! Could you imagine? (Oh this reminds me, we’ve been checking them twice a day by touching them with a Qtip. The skin will go white where you press and then immediately return back to the flesh color when blood is flowing properly.)

I got to take a shower just now which made me feel so much better! I was worried that it might be painful but it wasn’t. The nurse told me that I could use soap but not to scrub. She said to let the water just rinse right down me. I was a little worried about being in the shower by myself bc I occasionally feel lightheaded. However, it’s never been to the point where I thought I would pass out or anything. In hindsight, I should have turned over a paint bucket and sat on it... just in case. (I’ve read other posts where women have done that and I thought it was genius!)
I’m so excited bc I get to wear a sports bra now. I was wearing the surgical bra with a ton of surgical padding and tape. It was just annoying. They removed the padding and re-gauzed and taped over the incisions. The nurse didn’t remove any of the sutures.
Anyway, that’s the update.

Oh, my husband has been calling them “ Franken-boobs.” He’s good though. I showed him pictures beforehand so he wouldn’t be freaked out. ?? I highly recommend that by the way!
