26 Years Old - 415/460cc Polyeurothane Coasted Breast Implants

Hi there!

So today is day 3 and I feel a hell of a lot better than yesterday!!!!! Much less pain when not moving (sitting up is still quite painful). I must say yesterday was so hard! Physically, but also emotionally. I felt really teary which is really strange for me as I am the happiest, most level headed person in the world! But one of my friends told me that this happens after general anaesthetic as it affects your endorphin levels. Needless to say feeling more back to my mental self today :)

The Valium to help relax my chest muscles has done wonders, I honestly don't know what I would have done without it at this stage! I had 2 valiums before bed lat night and slept so well, no chest spasming, and I was even able to get myself up to use the bathroom without my partners help at around 5am! But come 8am I certainly needed his help! Haha the poor darling think is more tired than me! I feel like Valium or another type of muscle relaxant is super important for recovery, particularly if you have quite a bit of chest muscle like me from all my weight training! My chest still feels really tight but no where near as unbearable as yesterday.

I cant wait to take my bra and strap off tonight to have a look, and so my partner can shower me!! Will post photos then :) Fingers crossed!

So yesterday, day 1, wasn't so bad. I didn't struggle sleeping propped up on pillows which is great. I slept most of the day in front of the TV.. Netflix is a godsend haha!

But this morning when I woke up (day 2) I was in so much pain! I felt like my chest muscles were spasming which hurt so much, so I text my PS and he says to get some Valium to help my muscles relax! I think they must have used a long acting anesthetic because today is 10 times worse than yesterday! Sitting up, even from a propped up position, is so hard, and if I'm too horizontal it is almost impossible without someone helping me up!! I have to wake up my poor partner every time I need to use the bathroom at night. I am taking laxatives too which has seemed to help keep me reasonably regular - I was told all the painkillers are quite constipating!

Staying on the Oxycodone every 4 hours has helped a lot!!! But I'm scared I'll run out and still need more! But I suppose I'll just see how I go.

I have a stabilizer strap on underneath the bra which is so uncomfortable but apparently I only have to wear it for 1 week as it is less useful for polyurethane coated implants.

Oh and I forgot to mention.. we actually went 495cc on left and 445cc on right. I really want to take everything off and have a look but I don't think I will for a couple more days. I have just been showering from the stomach down and wet wiped underarms and neck as I'm paranoid about getting the stitches wet.

I'm hoping the pain and tight discomfort is less tomorrow!!!!

I had my surgery this afternoon!!! All went well apparently :) East Sydney Orivate Hospital was lovely!! I was incredibly nervous but nurses were extremely kind and caring.

I was soooo groggy coming out of the anesthetic, apparently I was demanding cocktails hahaha I don't remember any of that!!! They gave me more painkillers in the recovery room as I was in a little bit of pain. Did not feel nauseaous which is good, but I had to keep eating a drinking to help bring my blood pressure up before I could go as it was very low!

At home now just watching a move while my wonderful partner cooks me some dinner! Not hungry but need to have food with painkillers. I'm a bit nervous for tonight and tomorrow with pain - I guess I will just have to keep the painkillers up!! He has put a stabilizer strap on above my breasts which is quite uncomfortable!! But I assume necessary.

I just wish I could take everything off and see them!!!!! Will post a photo soon :)
