Feeling quite a bit better. Trying to be patient & allow the new boobies time to heal & drop & fluff out. :-) my tissue is still tight from the lift and I'm still icing.
?- has anyone else felt like after BA/BL that heavy sensation feeling in their breasts? It SO reminds me of nursing :-( feels like I need to pump to release the pressure LOL.
I have had the normal ups & downs especially since it's the holidays. I'm 8 lbs heavier now & hate not being able to workout. I'm going to begin eating extremely healthy/clean (Paleo diet) beginning tomorrow to try & offset the inability to workout. Ugh..
It's also back to work tomorrow so we'll see how that goes. I'm grateful to the best boyfriend ever who took amazing care of me the last 9 days! Here are a couple pics from today.

Congratulations! Try not to worry too much about some excess weight as your body needs the extra calories right now to heal. This weight gain is very common. What sizse were your original implants? I think you'll be very happy with your lift and final results!

I did get to see them & they look great so far. I'm still sore & taking it easy, thankfully I'm off all week for Thanksgiving holiday. I'll post some updated pics in a few days.

Thanks for posting! Why did you decide to switch from saline to silicone? Good luck with your recovery!!

I had a lot of hardening, scar tissue, capsular contraction, etc. I used breast pump for 5 months while daughter was in NICU. My tissue/skin is thin so I went w/the gummy bear implants that won't move a lot & will stay in the pocket better w/o gravity taking effect. I'm 5 days out will post a new pic today. Thanks for your comment, recovery gets a little better every day.
