This First Week
This first week has been super uncomfortable but I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I'll give you the good and the bad of the last several days:
The Good:
I'm happy with the size
Surgery went great, no nervousness, etc
Pain has been manageable
I'm starting to move around more
My breasts are softening a little in the last day or so
Hubby has done an awesome job taking care of me and the little one this week. I haven't had to lift a finger!
I think once they drop, my girls are going to look great
My PS office has checked up on me and been great about answering questions this week
The bad:
I got sick on day one/two (NOT FUN!) from pain meds (had to switch to Tylenol)
My chest feels like its going to pop
My back and neck are super sore from sleeping sitting up
I get tired everyday in the afternoon
I get a little worried about them dropping into the pocket b/c of the size
So all in all it was definitely worth it and more than anything I guess I'm just anxious about them dropping and looking a little more natural. They're not very visible under clothes right now which is fine with me but I hope that over time they will fill out my clothes much better. I know its only been a few days so I'm getting way ahead of myself. But I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the change in them over the next several months. And as soon as my PS approves me to lay on my stomach I think a back massage is in order. Until next time...

They're here!!
Yay!! The girls are here and they're great already! So I'll give you the full recap to the best of my memory.
On Monday we got up and arrived at the surgery center at 5:30am but it didn't actually open until 6:30am so the extra waiting kind of sucked. However, I read a book while I was waiting and that seemed to calm my nerves quite a bit. Once we got inside everything went pretty quickly. The nurse prepped me and my PS stopped in to sign some papers and mark my chest. A couple of the nurses that were hooking up my IV's gave my PS a great recommendation as they had worked with her before and were familiar with her work. Then one of them said she was giving me a sedative so that I wouldn't be nervous as we moved to the OR. That was the last thing I remember before waking up in recovery.
When I woke up my chest felt really tight but other than that I don't remember a lot of pain or anything. At least not right away. My husband got me home and settled without incident and I slept most of the day. I did end up having a reaction to one of my pain meds which made me nauseous and I got sick a couple of times. This was NO FUN at all! Once I threw up though I felt better immediately. Since I've stopped taking that medication I've been fine. Day one was otherwise uneventful. I needed help getting up and down, and spent most of the day in bed (propped up of course).
Day 2 has been a little easier. I can move around a little more on my own. I've been able to eat and drink without getting sick. I started taking extra strength tylenol this afternoon and that seems to be working fine with my other prescriptions to manage the pain. I've been trying to get up and walk around the house as much as possible today. I've been able to get up about an hour or so at a time before fatigue sets in. I haven't heard from my PS office yet but I'm supposed to be able to take a shower tomorrow and plan to take care of that first thing in the morning whether they call or not.
Anyway the best way I can describe what this feels like is an extreme tightness and pressure on my chest. It also feels like they are up super high right now. Everything from my armpits to my nipples feels stretched to the max. And they are a little heavy. I have to remind myself not to slouch constantly.
I'm super excited about the size though! I ended up with HP Mentor Silicone 500cc smooth round under the muscle. They are not glaringly obvious under my clothes but I can tell they're going to drop nicely. So was it worth it? Absolutely!! I can't wait to get feeling back to normal so I can start working out and finish getting swimsuit ready!
I also have to say that this experience has allowed me to take a real break from work. Its hard for me to unplug from work on vacation normally and this has forced me to for the most part. So I'm going to continue to take it easy and I'll keep you girls posted!

Less than 24 HRS away!!!
Well this is officially my last day as an A cup and I couldn't be more excited! The couple of people that know about my surgery keep asking me if I'm nervous and honestly I haven't been at all. This is something that I've known I wanted to do for a long time and now that its here I'm really just excited. That being said, last night I had a very graphic dream about the actual surgery so I'm hoping that was just a one time deal. Once I woke up I got over it but I was a little freaked out for about five minutes.
Anyway, I think I have everything ready now. The house is cleaned, snacks and a few quick meals are ready to heat up as needed. I bought a couple of new pillows to assist with sleeping sitting up in the recliner. The only thing left is to charge my phone and IPod tonight and drop them in my bag in the morning. I set up two rest areas - one in the bed and one on the couch for easy maneuvering between rooms. I have two ice packs wrapped in light cloth to keep from burning my skin if I fall asleep while I have them on. I'm expecting to be pretty out of it for the next couple of days.
I have to be at the surgery center at 5:30AM so I really need to try to get to bed early but I think I might be too excited to fall asleep very easily tonight... We'll see I guess. Well good luck ladies to everyone that has surgery scheduled this week. I will definitely look forward to reading your updates. I will try to post again tomorrow if I can.
