WORTH IT$8,500
Got the stitches out yesterday. It was too painful. I admit I did freak out a tiny bit on how my areoa's looked, but they taped them back up so I didn't have enough time to nit pick them to part! The neuropathic pain has gotten better thank goodness and I am not allowed to start the massaging. The massaging feels good to start getting things less hard, but also seems to [RS bleep] the girls off about 10 mins after I'm done. Just another part of this fun journey. I do very. Much enjoy the shape and size and am anxiously awaiting when I can get out of the binding sports bra and into bra's that can actually reveal that I have boobs!! I have a date Sat night and laboring over what to wear that's date worthy while still having on this damn sports bra! :)

Oh, and I was cleared for light exercise so I'm off to the gym today. I typically do Pilates reformer classes and spin classes but since I can do neither, I'm going to get on the bike and slowly ride. I won't burn NEAR as many calories as spin classes, but after not working out for almost 2 weeks I'm going crazy! It will be hard to not want to go "full speed" but I will be cautious!!

It's looking fantastic! Im 5'2" and 110 lbs and went for 300cc on right and 325cc on left. Slightly smaller than your but I'm on the same boat as you of being excstatic! My surgery was yeterday morning and I'm super anxious to see the result once I take my bandage off!
After your surgery, how long did it take you to go bra/sports bra shopping? I was told I should end up with a small C but I dont know if I should risk shopping for bras right now when it hasn't even beeb 24 hours since my BA.
I envy that you can work out in 2 weeks! I love weight lifting and running and I know this "relaxing" is going to kill me! My husband has already scolded me for walking around the house a lot today already lol..but I go crazy just laying on the couch :( Can't wait to hear more of your journey and pics pics pics!

Congrats on your surgery! And word of caution, even if you feel good now, enjoy the time to rest and relax and give your body time to recover!! It needs it. I am 2 weeks and 4 days out and I still tire easily. Our bodies have been through a lot and need time to heal (I also had lift so maybe extra healing time?). As far as bra shopping -I was told by my PS that I have to stay in the one they gave me 23/7 at first and then next week (3 weeks post) they will give me my 2nd bra to wear. I am so ready to hurl this sport bra! It's not attractive and certainly doesn't work well with clothes, but the times I have washed it and gone bra-less waiting for it to dry, my girls were hurting and felt good to put it back on. So, we have a love/hate relationship with this bra right now. I don't plan on doing any bra shopping until my PS gives me the thumbs up. I don't want to waste my money as they are still high and hard and won't know size until they settle and fluff. And believe me- I plan on spending lots of $$ on new bras so the waiting will be worth it!
I have found myself to be very irritable this past week. Annoyed by everything and very little patience for anything. I think it is due to not working out like I am used to. I try to walk everyday but it doesn't really satisfy the need. I keep reminding myself this is all a process and soon enough I can go back to spin classes etc but my first priority is making sure I follow all orders so my two new assets can heal perfectly!
Please feel free to ask me any questions along your journey! Enjoy your time to rest and relax!!! Good luck on your post op and keep me updated on how your feeling! Xoxo.

I do feel tired. I think I ended up over exerting myself yesterday after surgery since I felt great, but I'm definitely taking the advise of resting. My husband has been so wonderful taking care of the boys, but the motherly instinct of me is wanting to help and cook dinner and take care of them. I get so bored and impatient sitting down and not cleaning...but I know the more I rest, the quicker I can recover..right? I also HATE that I cant work out! I run long distance and constantly hit the weights hard, it has always helped relieve my stress... it's unfortunate..but I have to look at the positive...the more I sleep, stay ahead of my meds and off the floor for long durations of time..I'm hoping healing would come quickly. You're absolutely right..I need to be selfish right now. I just need to make sure to get my hubby a thank you gift after all this is over. He's been amazing doing laundry and dishes and is too stubborn to let me get off the couch that he ends up bring the food to me.
I'm such a control freak at times that Im trying to learn to let things go...lol

Your new boobs look great!! I am scheduled for my BA on March 13th! I can hardly wait! I think I am going to go with 425cc on my left side and 450 on my right because of the slight size difference! I am still having a hard time deciding on the profile that I want. Any suggestions?

Thank you! How exciting for your upcoming transformation! I can not give any recommendations on your size as I wasn't even sure what size I needed to go! I focused on boobs for so long prior of surgery I think my perception became distorted. Haha. I ended up completely trusting my PS to make the ultimate and right decision base on my wants of not being too big or too small. in fact, my instruction were very simple to him "make them perfect" haha. He ended up going a larger size than I would have picked myself due to lack of my own knowledge of all that goes into the ultimate decision. I am extremely happy with the results. Have you send your PS pics of breasts you like and why you like them? I think it's good practice so you both understand and communicate what look your going for. As far as profile- my PS also made that decision (high) and one I am also perfectly happy with. Communication is key and trust in your PS essential!! :). Keep me updated on your progress and feel free to ask any questions. Enjoy the journey!!

I have so many damn pictures of the boobs that I want. Haha. I have been planning on 400 since I started researching and now I think I'm going just a tad bigger, but ultimately my PS will make the best judgement for my situation!! I am sooo incredibly eager to have the surgery be done & begin the healing process. One more week til my new twins!! :)
