Well I made my first journey back into my normal world. All of my best girlfriends met at one of our friends houses and had afternoon coffee. I sqeezed myself into jeans (layers of padding, a compression garment and binder)cuz pride made me forgo the yoga pants. I did pretty well,but like someone else said I am basically a sausage, so my bff had to push me out of the chair. (yes, slightly humiliating) But man was it great to be out with people. I can only watch so many episodes of Keeping up with the Kardashians. LOL

Honestly my TT is not bothering me if I didn't have the stupid sausage binder. But my BA area is super sore, at least right under my arms feels like it's on fire some times. I probably need to quit doing stuff with my arms Ugh! It's hard to not do stuff.

Well I am now 10 days post-op and feeling really good. A couple days ago I was reading all your post-op posts about going places and feeling great and let me tell you I was bummed! I still felt crappy, crabby and not able to do anything. But all of a sudden yesterday I got a drain out (today the other goes) and started to feel good. Today my other implant dropped and I don't look like a lopsided freak ;o)

I do have to say...... I hate hate hate my binder. It is itchy,annoying and squishes the heck out of my stomach.

Well I have my 2nd post-op check-up today and am excited to see what my PS has to say. At my last appointment I was soooo doped up I barely remember going.

Well I made it through my MM. The day of surgery was so easy, until I woke up :o) Getting into the car and getting home was hell. There was no part of me that didn't hurt or feel woozy and I just wanted to sleep. My recliner was the best feeling ever. Thank God i didn't throw up, my ps had the nausea really well under control, YAY! Days 2, 3 and 4 I slept almost all day. I would fade in an out during bathroom trips, meds and talking to my husband.
I honestly could not believe how amazing he was through this. I didn't think he would be any help, but he stepped up and did virtually everthing for me those first 3 days.

I ended up going with 550cc since my weight loss even sucked more life from my sad little puppy ears.

From the few peeks I've taken everything looks really good. Two days ago I was seriously saying "Why did I do this to myself", but today off most of the meds and pretty pain free I am super happy:p
