So today is the end of day 4 post op. I never thought I would put my business out here but it helped me and I want to help others. Any questions please ask although I'm still figuring the site out!
Surgery was Thursday and I went home the same day. My first day was the worst which was not what I heard from anyone!! I was expecting to sleep most of the day but I felt everything and my lesson for you all is to be ahead of your pain. Take the pain meds as soon as you can (put something in your stomach and set your home up for a potential reaction - clear route to the bathroom !) luckily I did not get sick but I couple of times I ran feeling nauseous and you don't want to slip or run into anything with sore tatas!!
I woke every four hours like clock work in need of medicine. Try to space the muscle relaxer and pain pills apart so not taking them all at once. Then you don't run out of it all at once and it helps make it last. The first night I set my alarm on my
Phone to wake me up shortly before the pain medication wore off so I could stay on top of it. I don't take pain meds a lot but I will tell you for some reason - I struggled with pain the most the first 24hours and there is no way I could have handled it without.
I was not advised to use ice packs but when my friend called my doctor (because I was in so much pain and could not believe it was normal since everywhere I read said day 2 is the worst ) he said it would be ok to use ice. The ice helped immensely. Also letting my friend take care of me and just relaxing helped!! Have your pill bottles open if no kiddies around and your doses already out - antibiotics etc. we kept a log so I knew I was on top of everything from pain to antibiotic to stool softener (absolute must).
Day 2 I woke up with a better idea of how to handle the pain-what I could and couldn't do and felt a lot better. My mistake was I had two visitors and I guess I moved around too much so half way through the day I really struggled again with pain. I still needed help with some stuff but mainly I slept. Then the doctors office called (as well as the surgical center - which was super nice and both very helpful with questions!) told me when I could shower and start with the Motrin. She told me once the Motrin gets in my system I would feel a ton better and she was so correct! Well that's it for now but I guess what I am struggling with now is my in incisions and the random jolts but nothing compared to my first day! I will add to this and post pics!!

So today is my 5th day and I am getting more comfortable with these foreign objects! It was the first day I woke up really feeling stiffer than when I went to bed. I attribute this to the fact that I am healing so I am just noticing the "morning boob" sensation everyone spoke of now. As the day has progressed it feels like I "loosened up" and I am also just going longer without Motrin. I am more aware of my chest now - before my arms, neck and whole upper half hurt but now I just feel my boobs. I kind of feel like I can feel them inside me. I wonder if others feel this way? Tomorrow is my post op and I can't wait to have my incisions looked at and Stitches removed. I still havnt tried on many things or shown them to my boyfriend. I'm afraid i guess of his reaction although I think they look ok but I never had boobs so what do I know? I guess I will feel more comfortable once they drop a bit - I like the size now and I am certain they will get smaller after swelling. I finally get when people told me I'd want them bigger not smaller if anything - it's not like I want double Ds but when you get used to seeing yourself this size it must be weird watching them get smaller.
Right now I just feel awkward pinches or side sticks on each side and sort of a heavy feeling. Kind of feel like when I move too much that I might break them! I am wearing a sports bra I got at Walmart that opens in the front which I got several and highly recommend. The bra they gave me to wear makes me sore - I think it's just too tight. Grateful my doctors office recommended I buy one or two before surgery!! I will post more later!

Incisions look nice and small but you can see they are high and still swollen!
