Late 30s with a 3.5 Yr Old Kid - Denver, CO

Wow! Thank you for being so caring, this is really new to me taking a step like this, and it's nice to see that your leading such a great community and concept, I will certainly be communicating to keep some sanity and positive excitement around this Which is why I made this decision in the first place, thank you again!

Wow thanks Dianamarie, this is definitely also how I see this going. Ironic thing, i did just get a new car lease and had cash back which is what's taking care of most of this procedure ;)

Have you heard of anyone smoking before and after the surgery, I don't do a lot everyday maybe 1-2 at most it's really just an anxiety reliever frankly think it's becoming an anxiety booster

Do you think vneck clothing would be too provacitive at work, i generally wear that now with skirts, think the bjob is going to make me dress a little more conservative so I did buy more cute sashes and. Scarves.

Finally, how's the intimacy with the augmentation was it fun exciting for those few months or more?

Thank you so much I really appreciate your experience !

Way to go on the cash back lol, yes ironic!....I actually quit smoking on 2/8 in prep for the surgery..I dont smoke a lot either, only when I am driving, and if I'm having drinks. It has been rough, I'll admit...I never realized how much I looked forward to my drive into work and home cigs! I have an hour commute and usually its 2-3 each way depending on traffic, been relying on hard candy for now to take edge off. Anyway, it is VERY important to cut out smoking asap, at least 2 weeks before and 2-3 weeks after. The effects it has on your ability to heal are tremendous...even if its only a few a day b/c the nicotine is still in your system preventing maximum oxygen and blood flow...so no nicotine patches or anything can be used, they have the same effects. You will be just fine with V-neck, you will just have to purchase a few minimizer bras:) But its what ever you are comfortable with...I manage a shop of ALL MEN, so good luck to me trying to hide what I've done...I'm sure they will all notice, even under heavy sweatshirts..men..ugh...lol...intimacy, well it is a nice confidence boost for you in that dept. plus lingerie looks sooo much hotter when you fill it out;)...so in that sense, it is ALWAYS more fun!

Lol I hear you on the men ugh comment lol, I've gotten to that point in life and I have no clue why I asked

As for smoking, oh well I'll stay away fro
It as much as can no my procedures on Tuesday like I said I don't do a lot, but I do do slot of aerobic exceed use too everyday so I'm hoping oxygen delivery should be too bad

Aerobic excersise I meant

Seriously though my stomach has been so bloated and my period do irregular for past two weeks it's like a damn preview ...how's your stress level compared to first time around do you just want to get it over? Are you in shining the newer you...

I also do aerobic exercise frequently (HIIT and circuit training 4-6 times per week) and am DREADING not being able to go to the gym for 6-8 weeks...I have lost 35 lbs since August and am terrified of all of my hard work, or even some of it being erased ESP. right before summer!!...This time is WAAAYYY worse for pre-op nerves. The first time, I was having it done to correct tuberous breast deformity and seriously, my mind set was, "well, it cant be WORSE than what it is" and I did NO research before hand, just trusted my surgeon's opinion and went with it...looking back, I should have done my homework b/c I had no clue that my pockets were apparently made to be too large which has caused my breasts to fall to the sides when I lay down. I thought that was normal...it actually should have been fixed way back when, and now because they have sat like that for so long, my tissues there are thin and the internal sutures Im getting this time have approx 30% possibility of failing:/....I HAVE BEEN SO BLOATED TOO!! lol....started taking metamucil on Monday to get my body used to it before surgery, so maybe its that? due for period the 15th...woooonderfuuuulll....guess I wont be having a super erotic pre-op week lol

At the end of the day you have a great structure and height and it will look even better when it's done I'm sure, as for the risk that's the same risk for a revision, you'll be just fine and it's super awesome your history of excersise that is something you've banked and invested with for so many months...I think the thing that will happen as you already know is your muscle gets smaller throughout extremities so you won't be gaining weight you'll most likely lose it with being modest on movement and even more excersise

Sorry meant to say as you'll be not excersising...what you've got slamming for you is your young your body will bounce around and you'll be stoked...

FYI- erotic is so not for me since I decided to do this lol, feel like I'm trading in my old Camry again lol

You are in "all business" mode with it, huh? lol...You'll be having lots of fun once they are in and settled! I am def magnifying the tragedy of not being able to work out...obv if I keep my diet in check I will be just fine...I think that at this point I am just complaining about EVERYTHING lol....my poor bf, I think big ole boobs may at this point be the only reason he agreed to let my whiny tail stay with him for after care...lol...I know I am driving him crazy with all of my anxiety and fear and panicky perfectionist planning ahahaaa, bless his heart!

omg, that has been me all the way, added to that the stupid period that is chugging along since Monday, and him and I using excuses to argue over my daughters moods swings mind you she's only 3.5...so the absurdity is crazy here although I agree with you the big boobs coming to how. And him being able to be there to feel em, is probably also a motivator for him to stick around for my care after with my daughter...yup agreed bless them...

As for the excitement in all of this I hope I can be, the smoking thing has stressed me out insessently, if I can just get over this part and except it for what it is, it is....sorry I'm clogging your inbox, but it definitely is so cool to communicate with someone whose so sincere and talk on this, you have any plans in your rest up time after surgery movies books? Good good treats ?

3.5 year old's mood swings comment had me laughing outloud! ....clog up the inbox all you want! glad to have someone to chat with! What about the smoking is stressing you out? Like you mean, the fact that you ARE smoking, or the thought of stopping?...post op stock includes: dry shampoo, baby wipes, make up remover wipes, vitamin C, Potassium, One a day Women's vitamin, cranberry pills & pro-biotics (to TRY to prevent the ever so lovely side effect of anti-biotics), metamucil for pain pill constipation, pedialyte (cause who wants to chug water when you're bloated?), mini club crackers in case of nausea, gingerale, BOOST old people shakes for nutritional value I'll likely be lacking the first few days....as far as entertainment...the BF has netflix, and more cable channels than anyone should have...I'd love to pretend that I'll read a good book, but I wont. Pain meds will have me dozed off in and out...zero attention span...I stocked up his kitchen with plenty of stuff that he can make for me...There is def italian ice, hot chocolate, icecream and oreos in there for comfort lol...how bout you?....oh, and hey, just wondering if you plan on posting any before pics...funny, I used one of the same "wish pics" to show my surgeon

Wow, channeling through people of like characteristics is real awesome, sorry this is my visceral ( no pun intended) side coming out...thank you so much for these pointers on post op healing things ! Net food is cool cable too, my daughter just gets in the way of that too so hopefully school will keep her busy for three days and she can have the computer when I want the tv and my partner doesn't try To give me lectures on how to be...he means well and I like that about him, it's just sometimes, " don't need the
Info" lol

By the way I could get some pics up my ps took them I just need courage to put them up, come from a pretty conservative family..by the way I love these wish pics their hot, a bit about me, I'm 5'3 110 dark hair olive skin mid eastern origin , and I'm not trying to come out looking like Kim ;)

As for the smoking... The one cigarette yesterday is done, it was sparse as it usually has been for me, but I hear you it's not a good idea to keep it up :(

if your face isnt in them...its not a big deal, I mean, this is a medical site more or less, and I am pretty sure there arent too many pervos that would think to use "real self" "surgery" or "breast forum" as key word searches for their sick adventures online haha....for smoking...think of it the other way around...if its just one or two...its just not WORTH it! such a small amount of something that causes crappy healing abilities for a procedure that is obviously VERY important to you is SOOO not worth it. Curious to find out who handles you being out of commision better, your man, or your 3.5 year old lol...my money is on your little girl lol

Lol!! Honestly my 3.5 yr old girl is a smart cookie but she and I have a good understanding, I just have to make sure I don't lose the cool with the man ;) you're right about the smoking 1 or 2 is it worth what I want even more no, you're right!!! Love your attitude and perspective really !

You're right about the pics and by no means am I judging or Inferring anything about anyone else, it's a personal thing but for sure I'll get something working out soon enough..

moisturizer COCOA BUTTER!!!

AND....johnson and johnson baby oil gel....trust me

Were you able to use mositurizers after your shower like the next day post op?

I should invest in the jphnsons gel, I currently have aveno and straight coconut oil that I warm in hands before putting on

I am pretty sure I could not shower for either 1 or 2 days after..and even then I couldnt get the girls wet so I cut ziploc bags and taped them over them lol....you wont be worried about moisturizing that soon...pain meds are no joke and you will be in and out of sleep for 24-48 hours.

Hi Diana Marie :) thank you!! Tomorrow is big day at 1pm central time duh duh duh duhhhhhhh drama insert

How have you been, doing your countdown to an easier heal God bless this time around :)

Also my period is starting somewhat more full force so I don't know what happened with this weird spotting last week

Your so right miss! He's totally capable of basics and has sensitivity just don't want to push him too hard l, so I'm hoping the meds and healing will chill me down!
