37, 4 Kids, 8 Years of Breastfeeding, 6 Pregnancies - Columbia, SC

Between my loose, floppy, "squishy" belly and saggy, flat breasts I couldn't look at my body in the mirror. So depressing! I opted for breasts first and planned stomach the following year. I had 450cc moderate plus silicone under the muscle. Once upon a time my breasts had been a full D. I was wearing a full B before surgery. Now I"m 32D. Only regret is I wish I'd have gone bigger!

So I went in for surgery yesterday. The lift and augmentation took just over 2 hours. I got Natrelle 410 mm, under the muscle. I am so excited but nervous (I want to keep this a secret). So far it seems very unlikely I'll be able to hide these massive girls, but maybe when the swelling goes down it'll be possible.

My surgery is scheduled for Friday (it's Monday now). I'm having a lift and implants. I have four kids under 9 and my parents are helping my husband for 4 days. My mom will continue to help an additional 3-4 more days. On post op day 11 we have scheduled a short vacation (4 days) with my husband's family. (They do not know about surgery). Is this even possible!? My husband is clear on "no lifting" so he will do kid carrying and any other lifting that needs to be done. What did you/could you do a week and a half after surgery?? Thanks in advance. (Btw, my PS just said I'm not back to normal for a month…no lifting and I won't be able to take care of myself, much less kids the first couple of days. After the weekend, I can take care of myself and kids (minus housework and lifting). "Listen to your body.")
