Oh the bloating...
So my boobs look great. I know they'll change over the next months, but I'd be happy if they didn't! My left side feels pretty good with a little discomfort, but no real pain. The right incision is painful and I have more stiffness and soreness on that side. It looks the same as the left, so I am just assuming that there was probably more manipulation on that side. I switched to Tylenol yesterday, and that seems to be controlling things adequately. I keep reminding myself I've had major surgery, and I cannot expect to be pain-free all the time.
I had a post-up visit yesterday with the nurse who instructed me on the breast massage / exercises they recommend. My plastic surgeon has his patients do them three times a day every day for the rest of their life! It feels a little uncomfortable and weird right now, but he's had a lot of success with his patients so I'll do anything I can to prevent complications!
I've never had an issue with constipation in my life, but I sure am now! I haven't had a bowel movement since the day of surgery and I'm feeling very, very bloated. I'm also having a lot of abdominal swelling from the surgery, which I understand is common aside from the constipation. The two together are making me look 5 months pregnant. I'm doing everything I can to help move things along, and I know things will move eventually. I feel like I look 10 to 15 pounds heavier, but the scale is reading 1 pound lighter than I was before. surgery. If you factor in the weight of the implants, I've actually lost a couple pounds. I'm having a really hard time eating because of all the bloating, which is very strange for me because I'm the kind of person who actually gains weight when I'm sick because all I do is sit around and eat. I even gain weight when I had my wisdom teeth pulled out a couple of months ago, lol.
My husband's at work all day and night today and tomorrow, so I'm going it alone with my girls now. I hate to admit it, but they are watching a lot of cartoons these days. We are headed out for the afternoon to watch a play and I will be seeing my mother-in-law for the first time since the surgery. She does not know about it, and I don't think she's going to be able to tell because I look very much like I did when I wore padded bras. I was originally planning to tell her because we are going on a beach trip together in a couple of months, but I think I've changed my mind. I'll just let everyone stare and wonder and keep it to myself, haha. Besides two years ago when they saw me in a bikini my breasts look very much like they do right now because I was nursing. I keep reminding myself that while I am obsessed with looking at my boobs, not everyone else is.
Too tired for taking any more pictures, but will update when I reach the one-week mark.

Day two pics!
I finally took a shower this morning and got to remove my bra for the first time! As far as size, I wish they were a little bigger, but as I mentioned before, my plastic surgeon said 325 was as big as he could fit, though he did try bigger. Other than that they look perfect to me. With a push-up bra I think they will look amazing!
Made it through post-op day 1
I'll be honest, today was not easy. I feel so helpless. Getting out of bed or off the couch is sooooo hard. I do fine if sitting on a hard chair or upright. Squatting down is fine too. I cannot open drawers or doors, or open pill bottles.....things i never considered. My "husband" reclining type pillow has been awesome for sleeping. I'm normally a stomach or side sleeper, but am actually resting really well. I highly, highly recommend one! My human husband (as opposed to my pillow, lol) has been very helpful, but I can tell his patience is already running thin.
No new pics today. I was told to stay in my surgical bra until tomorrow when I can shower, so i haven't seen more than a peek. I know it is a compression bra, but my new boobs just don't seem that large. I keep telling myself 325 was as large as my ps would go, so i guess I'll learn to love them. At least I think I can comfortably hide it from those I didn't really care to tell.
I've been using tramadol and soma around the clock. Fortunately, i have had absolutely no nausea. Not much of an appetite which is weird for me, i usually eat like a horse. My belly became very, very swollen this afternoon. My weight has always been steady, but now I'm up about 4 lbs. 1.62 of those pounds are the implants, so hopefully the swelling will go away soon.
I'll try to post some pics after my shower tomorrow. I'm kinda scared to take off the bra ????
