Outside playing with the kids today. Feeling great as long as I take the Advil every 4 hours. My doc doesn't prescribe pain medicine. I forgot to mention in the previous post I think that to stretch my ps has me laying on my stomach 15 minutes a day until it's no longer uncomfortable. I also received an anti nausea patch to put behind my ear before surgery so I didn't get sick from anesthesia which I haven't so that's been great! Here's a pic from today. This is 2 days after surgery. My nipple placement is my only disappointment, but I knew that going in. We will see how they settle over the next 6 months and do mastopexy to even then out if necessary.

Surgery day and post op

I was very nervous about anesthesia since I'd never had any surgery, but it was so easy. The Dr came in marked me up, met the CRNA his name was Wally. 41 years experience, super great guy. My dr has 28 years experience so I really felt like I was in great hands. My Dr uses a rapid recovery process. When you wake up from surgery you drink some ginger ale and sit up immediately working your chest muscles to keep them loose. 5 stretches putting your arms straight out to the sides D meeting them in the middle and then 5 arms straight to the side and meeting above your head like you are praying. Have to do that hourly and then ice 20 minutes every hour. Slept great last night so good we almost slept through my check in today lol.

At post op appointment today he added two new things to do to keep chest muscles loose and help move the implant in place. Take your palm wide open to your boob and push to your back. First time hurt but now is much easier. Second one was to push the boobs in together to start working cleavageand keep muscles loose. Got the beautiful surgical bra to wear for 2 weeks. I asked about sports bras he said no that those don't have adjustable straps and will delay dropping. Felt so good today my family and I went to Cracker Barrel afterwards for breakfast. Hit up Best Buy and then target before coming home. I'm definitely a believer in the rapid recovery.

One of my nipples is naturally slightly assymetrical. My PS says we will see where it ends up in 6 months when things settle and if it bothers me enough we will do a mastopexy on one side to match the other.

Great! Sitting outside enjoying the weather and playing with my kids. They have dropped a little and gotten a little softer each day. I am not a patient person so this process is going to test me.

I may be wrong but most Drs send you home wrapped and don't do massages for a few weeks. My ps does the exact opposite. Makes sense if you don't use the muscles they will tighten up, which is why I think people hurt so bad. Your body is in defense mode since we put in foreign objects. I'll post a pic of today. I'm still not crazy about the location of my nipples but I knew that going in and in 6 months I may have mastopexy on one side.

My Dr's website (consult on Thursday) says he prescribes rapid recovery as well so I'm excited to see what he means by that! Do you have much time off of work?

I'm self employed but I could work today no problem. Dr doesn't prescribe any medication just Advil, stretching muscles and laying flat on my belly for 15 minutes a day until it's no longer uncomfortable. I've had girlfriends who used other PS's and they were hurting for days. So glad I did the rapid recovery.

That's freaking awesome!! How are you for lifting?

My 20 month old is 22lbs. I carefully lift her slowly using mostly my forearms. That's not been a problem. I flat ironed my hair and did my makeup the last two days. So my range of motion is good. A little tight in the muscles but it wasn't painful.

I am staying busy today with work and trying not to think too much about the surgery. I think most of us have those last minute fears we let creep in. I don't even want to entertain those thoughts so I am just going to not think about it. I am very sure of my decision and I don't want anything to take away from what I want. I am 5'6 and currently 145lbs. I did manage to lose 10lbs before the surgery which I am very proud of. I like my curves. I have a nice plump but and just have a little work to do to flatten my stomach and smooth out the thighs. I got Ashley Blacks fascia blaster which is awesome btw! But I only used it once because I didn't want to be banged up for surgery. I will get right back to it afterwards. I hope to lose 8 more lbs and maintain that. Macy's was having end of season clearance so I picked up some great bras to get me through the next 6 months while they change and only spent $50 for 6 of them! I also picked up a danskin at walmart with a front zip closure. For now I am as ready as I will ever be. I will put some more before pics up tomorrow and just to refresh anyone reading I am getting 450cc SRF Inspira under the muscle with a crease incision. My BWD was measured at 14.

Hey wondering how you are and how your surgery went??
T
September 17, 2016
Surgery went great! My dr uses a rapid recovery process. No bandages or dressings after surgery and you have to begin working your muscles before you leave post op. I was home by 1230 and up at 230pm. Mostly feeling like I had an overworked chest workout. This morning my follow up was at 9am where he gave me the bra. When we got done my husband and children and I went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast, Best Buy, and Target before coming back home. I think there's something to be said for rapid recovery! I think I'm going to be very happy with the size but right now they are definitely the dreaded frankenboob lol!

Oh wow!! That is awesome that you are up and at it. Yeah he may be onto something with this rapid recovery method. It took me a few days before I was ready to get out of the house lol. Well I'm glad to hear things went great with your surgery and you're feeling good. Yes the fabulous Frankenboobs :) gotta start somewhere right :) glad you like your size so far (i'll be 3 mths post op Monday and mine are still changing. I went today and had to go up a size in my bra-32G.. hoping they don't change anymore lol) .. updates us when you can :)
