Time is flying, these are my boobs!!!

I really can't believe it's almost 7 weeks post op! Time is going by so quickly and from day to day I rarely think about my boobs! Before I had my BA I thought that my boobs would look weird for ages and that I would have to wear certain clothes to cover them up and make them look normal! I can honestly say, I haven't made any attempts to make them appear 'normal', and nobody has noticed a thing! For people not to notice is exactly what I wanted pre-op, however now that they are here and I have gotten so used to them then yeah there are times when I feel like I should have gotten them bigger! But then again... they might have drawn to much attention and people might have noticed and I might have been unhappy! So, I am overall very happy with the way they have turned out!
They are softening up quite a bit the last couple of weeks! I went to Dr.Salman for a checkup on the 19th February and he gave me the go ahead for wearing real bras! So he measured by band size as a 34 and told me no matter what that I was always to stick with a 34 band, ignore 'sister sizes' and always wear a 34 band to prevent my new lovely boobs from sagging! He told me to try a C, D and DD cup and see which one fitted best! His advice was that two fingers should fit under the straps and the cup should gently cup my breast at the top, should not dig in and not be loose! He said they were healing nicely and would continue to improve over time. It was a very short meeting but I didn't have any questions for him and everything was ok so I was happy to be in and out quickly!
I decided to buy a couple of cheap bras for now as I still feel like the results are not final yet and I don't want to spend lots of money on expensive bras for them not to fit me in a few months! I dragged my boyfriend to penneys (primark) to get some! I was so excited, bra shopping was something I had dreamt about doing for a long time... the day when I could finally buy beautiful bras in a decent size! The experience wasn't as fantastic as it was in my dreams, I found it so overwhelming and difficult to judge what was actually fitting me the way Dr.Salman described! I suppose it's something that's second nature to someone with natural boobs, but choosing a bra and knowing how it's supposed to fit was so alien to me after years of stuffing my bras to the point where my nipples were almost sticking out the top! lol :) It didn't help that they were still quite stiff at the time so the bra had to fit them, rather than my boobs fitting into the bra if I'm making sense? I eventually decided that the 34C cups were too small, some of the 34D cups were also too tight around the cup when I put on a t-shirt you could clearly see a bulge! I was shocked as I really thought they didn't look anymore than a C cup! The DD cup in some bras fitted me nicely but the twin pack I chose in the end fitted better in a D! I'm hoping that when I buy some good bras in a few weeks that they will have softened nicely and choosing a bra won't be so confusing! I suppose it will also help to have a fitting attendant help with sizing! Another thing I will definitely need to invest in is lots of new bikinis! I pulled out all my old ones the other day and the cups just about cover my nipples! :)
Anyway, here's my up to date pictures too! It finally clicked with me that my camera has a timer, I feel a bit dumb for not having thought of that sooner!:) Best of luck to Mixie1 who's having her BA tomorrow morning! :) I'll be thinking of you missus... everything will be fine! :) x

RSMember5092February 12, 2015
Very short entry here but just wanted to update with some pics before i go to sleep! Will post more detail soon :-)Apologies on the image quality, lighting in my room is so dark and my mirror is v.grubby! :-)
Every day my boobs are feeling softer and looking more natural. Most of the time i forget i even have them, i suppose they are beginning to feel more like a part of me! I feel more feminine and confident.... i love having boobs! :-)

Less than two weeks for me, I'm pretty nervous right now! How u getting on?
February 21, 2015
Hey mixie... im so excited for you! :-) you will have to put up some pics! Have you 100% settled on the size? Or are you still a bit worried? I went back for my check up on thursday, he gave me the go ahead for wearing real bras! Yay! :-) He measured my band size to make sure i would get the correct bra size and im actually a 34, not a 32! Im really happy about this as i had tried on 32 bands last week and they were super tight and it was like back fat central!!!! He told me to try a 34c, d and dd and just go by the fit as all bras will be different . They still have lot of softening to do and i know they will change some more so i dont want to waste money on expensive bras that might not fit in few weeks! I just picked up a couple of cheap ones from penneys. Im definitely too big for a c cup and even some of the ds i tried on were too tight around the cup. I only brought 1 34dd in to try on because i didn't think in a million years it would fit me, it was actually fine but its so hard to tell at the moment because they arent super squishy!? My boyfriend waa getting fed up so in the end i just got a twin pack of tshirt bras in 34d. I have feeling they will no longer fit in a few weeks once my boobs relax and soften, i never would have thought it looking at them but they seem to be a 34dd!!! Im happy! :-) hope your feeling ok... the count down is really on!! :-)

Hi Hun, I'm not doing a review ( no time with kids) but I can send some pic if u wanna pm ur no. :) I've just decided I'm going to stick with what doc said, I was happy in consult with sizes and didn't dare wanna even try on bigger so dunno why I was gonna ask for more. I think reading too much on this
is not good :) lol. Yours look a good size and I've a bit more to begin with so I think I'll be happy. Any ways not long to go now so doubt I could change my mind anyways. I can't believe your a DD [RS bleep] I'd be happy with just a D. You seem so happy Hun I'm delighted for u. They rang yesterday for payment and will ring again on Monday with time of surgery. I don't think it has hit me yet. Put up some more pic if u get a chance there keeping my mind at ease [RS bleep]

4 days left!! Arghh!! How are things?
March 1, 2015
Oh my god!! This came around sooooo fast! How are you feeling? :-) sorry i haven't been on for an update, I've been busy with college and work and haven't had the privacy in my house to be taking pics and posting them etc for a while! :-) i hope your not too nervous, honestly it really was a breeze from start to finish! Worst thing for me was all the worrying beforehand!! Do you have a bit of a way to travel tomorrow? What time is ur op? Ill be thinking of you! :-) x
March 1, 2015
Hiya it's tues morning!! It's at 10.30 and I've a 3 hour drive
before that. I'm not too nervous now as just getting house tidy so not really thinking about it in detail. Got sweatpants and zip up hoodie for that day, hope it's suitable and I got some button up tops for home after as not sure if I'll be mobile! I'm very excited now but will probably crap my self on Tuesday. Still worried about size, sometimes I think I'll be too small and I there's to big! Lol! It's crazy
March 2, 2015
Oh you have another day so to go! Eeeek :-) i wore a button up shirt and jeans on the day of surgery and i was fine pulling up the jeans and everything! I didn't feel the need to wear button up tops after that i was well able to put normal tshirts and tops on over my head! I know everyone is different... but you'll be fine! :-) haha dont worry about being too big anyway... id say you will adjust so quickly you will only ever worry about them being too small! Haha :-) although im happy with my size and its exactly what i asked for and wanted, i definitely feel like i could have gotten away with bigger! But then again... people may have noticed then and it was important to me for people not to notice! :-) im gonna take some pics now and post them up for ya! I couldn't get enough of before and after photos before my op... i just wish i had some from my own doc! :-) x

Love trying on clothes!!
RSMember5092February 3, 2015
I can't believe today marks three weeks since my BA! Time has flown by, recovery has been a breeze and I'm completely in love with my boobs! Albeit they are still hard and stiff and sometimes strange looking, it feels great to finally feel like a woman! I find myself trying on clothes in shops with no intention of buying anything, just to see what my boobs look like in clothes I wouldn't have worn before!!!
The feeling in them hasn't really come back yet, I get weird sensations when I touch them so I'm sure it's just a matter of time before I can feel again! I was sick of going around without a bra, the weather is getting so cold and I started feeling a bit awkward in some situations! I bought a cute sports bra in H&M, I only wear it when I really have to and still go without a bra most of the time. They look fine in tops/t-shirts, you wouldn't think I'm not wearing a bra but i get self conscious when my nipples go hard.
My scars are healing well, I have started using bio-oil (when I remember!) and the scabs came off when rubbing it in, (sorry, too much info) they are way less visible now and really blend into my crease.
Sleeping isn't a problem, I can lay on any side or my back. I was never a belly sleeper but might try this tonight out of curiosity! I got my boyfriend to take some pics on Friday night (3 days ago), I'm not sure if they are much good, the lighting in the bathroom is weird! Again, pics really don't do them much justice! Maybe when they are fully settled they will look good in pictures! The rest of the pictures took myself this evening, I am noticing tiny changes but nothing drastic! They still seem small to me, but perfect because people really will not notice, which is exactly what I wanted. Still get pangs of wanting them bigger but I'm so happy to have boobs, finally! :) I do feel like they are quite far apart, again they were widely spaced to begin with so it's just my natural anatomy! Hoping the gap might close though when they soften... even just a little! Time will tell I suppose!
I found pictures on my laptop of me wearing a bikini last year, I was trying to document my weight loss! (ahem... still in progress!!) I tried on the bikini the other day for a before and after comparison, it made me smile! I must say they do look fantastic in a bikini.... now to get on the weight loss wagon once again!! It's almost a shame to be overweight with these beautiful boobs, they are giving me inspiration! :) lol

Hey Hun loving your progress. U look fab, them seem to have become very natural looking over the weeks. I'm glad your happy with them. :) recovering didn't seem so bad either. I'm delighted for u Hun [RS bleep]
February 7, 2015
Thanks Mixie! Just over three weeks now for your boobs! I'm so excited for you, your probably so excited/nervous!!! :-) mine still have a long ways to go but im so much more confident in my body now, i love them! My only regret is not doing this years ago! :-) x
February 7, 2015
Is it? I'm trying not to keep count of days or I'll just get more nervous. I'm hoping my recovery won't be too bad as my hubby will still have to work night shift but I'll have him during the day to out kids school etc. and once school is over I'll have the girls to help, there old enuff. I'm pretty nervous right now, I hope everything works out and especially that I'm happy with size. Do u think u are a D cup like he said u might be?
February 7, 2015
Oh I know what you mean, I was the same during the lead up to my op date, I was lucky I was so busy, I work part time in retail and was working so much over the christmas period. I also had a big assignment to hand up for college a few days before my op date so I was completely pre-occupied! Otherwise I think I would have driven myself crazy thinking about it!! I'm sure your recovery will be fine, at least the girls are old enough to help you out! :) Have you told anyone else about your BA? I actually tried to measure myself this morning believe it or not! My band measurement is 29 inches and I measured 35.5 inches around the fullest part of my boob. There seem to be various ways of measuring bra sizes online... on some sites I am a 32D, on others I am a 34B! Dr Salman measured my band size during my initial consultation as a 32! I had been wearing a 34 but he advised this wouldn't be sufficient in supporting them in the future, he demonstrated how when he pulled the straps the cups just slipped up over my boobs, if it was correctly fitting then it should have lifted my then barely existent boobs!! lol :) So, I think I am measuring a 32D! I have a feeling once they settle fully they may even get a bit bigger, my skin still looks shiney like rubber so I think there's a bit of stretching to go yet! :)
