Feeling pretty fine now. The pain is virtually gone now. It only feels weird using my pec muscles to do anything hard. I'm not meant to but I've been lifting my small daughter up a bit at times. The swelling is still there and going very slowly down. I never did get any real 'Frankenboob' look, maybe just because the implants are smallish and moderate, or just luck. There's still fluid around that I can feel moving, especially when I bend over and it doesn't hurt but feels so WRONG. And over the past couple of days it made a funny little sound which freaked me out big time. Can't wait for that to go away!

Not feeling sick anymore, thankfully. The pain is also not a bother most of the time so I'm not taking anything at all now. I think the swelling is settling so the feeling of tightness is pretty much gone. Muscle-wise it just feels strange. I can get a shirt on and off fairly easily now and can do little household things, but then other simple things like clicking a nozzle onto a garden hose completely defeat me lol. I'm too scared yet to try using my arms to help me get up and things like that. Hopefully that will all just gradually return without me noticing too much.
The main source of my pain is my right boob and it's not the muscle, it's just some random area underneath the side. It really bothers me when I lean over or reach. I'm hoping that will get better in it's own time too. That side is still more swollen but I've noticed that's happened with a lot of other people on here too.
I took a quick pic tonight and I can't notice any difference really. Bruising is coming out underneath but isn't too visible in the photo. I put one of my work outfits on tonight and was SO happy that it looked pretty much the same as before with my multiple padded bras on! I'm still a small-ish breasted girl and that might seem weird to some but totally fine by me. I liked my silhouette before and feel glad that when I return to work nobody will notice a thing. So they still look smallish under clothes but then when I take them off Ay Carumba!! That's how it seems to me anyway, others will have a different perspective lol. If I want to show them off I can still wear nice bras and singlets/low cut tops or whatever. I tried on a little bralette and [RS bleep] it looked good, I was so happy lol. It's exactly what I wanted - nice boobies to show off when I want but hide-able under clothing :)

3 days post surgery - not feeling great :(
Woke up this morning feeling groggy but okay. I slept propped up on pillows in bed rather than in my recliner and this seemed to be a bit better. Or it could be that the swelling is just starting to go down slightly.
The pain isn't too bad now. I'm still very slow and careful getting around. The incisions are starting to itch a bit. My main problem today is tiredness and a terrible headache. I don't think I'm going to take anymore Endone. I'd only taken a few so far and they hadn't made me sick. Mostly I'd relied on Pandeine Forte but I ran out of that overnight. So this morning I took an Endone to try to stop the headache but it didn't seem to work. I felt just awful and freezing cold. I fell asleep for a few hours and woke up still with the headache. I tried to eat some soup but couldn't. I'd only had toast earlier this morning. The last few days I've been eating just fine. I started feeling very very sick and ended up puking after midday. Ugh, it was awful. But I feel better now. Still weak and tired and shaky. I'm tentatively trying to eat a little. No more Endone! Just panadol should do me now. Maybe I didn't have enough in my stomach when I took it, I don't know. I've been feeling loopy and a bit confused at times over the last few days too. Not sure if it's only due to that but I'm sure it wouldn't have helped. Anyway, the pain isn't too bad now. I'm just tired.
The boobies feel a tiny bit softer today, especially the left. The right one is really the only one that ever hurts, maybe because it was a stronger muscle. There's a bit of bruising showing up now underneath but it's not bothering me. I'll try to take a photo later tonight if I feel a bit better. I hope everyone else in these early stages is healing well! I love that I found this site - just full of lovely supportive people x

Provider Review
Great experience, lovely doctor and staff. Bree who is his assistant/receptionist is particularly wonderful and just so helpful and quick to respond to anything. I didn't talk to the Dr after the procedure which slightly surprised me but probably wasn't necessary anyway, everything was so straightforward. The staff at the Canossa hospital were so friendly and upbeat. It really made all the difference between me feeling safe and comfortable versus terrified!
