My selfie game is not on point lol....not very centered. Ill post a more in depth update in a bit.
Post Op Day 8....Feeling Amazing
So yesterday I went up to my surgeon's office in Fresno and met with my amazing nurse. As soon as I walked in she was surprised at how well I was moving around already. She said I'm healing amazingly well, and was surprised at my lack of bruising. She said I can take off my steri-strips next Tuesday and start using the brown sticky tape. I go back in 3 weeks to see Dr. Knoetgen, which I'm looking forward to because I want to wear a real bra lol! I thought I would enjoy just sports bras for a month...but I'm not.
As for how I feel personally, I feel great. I've been on here reading tons of reviews for a while now, and comparing myself to others, I think I'm doing amazing. I don't know if its because I've had 8 prior surgeries and just know what to expect? Like maybe my body is like "oh this [RS bleep] is getting cut on again...you know the drill!" Having a total abdominal hysterectomy was my hardest recovery (two years later there's still pain). So this has been a cake walk. My breast pain is gone, and has been for a few days. That heavy feeling is about 90% gone. I woke up this morning and had to make sure my implants weren't popped or something because I couldn't feel them! They felt like a natural part of my body already. The tightness is still there, but nothing compared to how they were. I've dropped over an inch already and they're not as hard as they were. My incisions are still quite sore. That's probably the worst part at the moment. The bottom band of my bra is rubbing on them so I blame it on that. I started the "massaging" last night. Not bad at all.
I miss walking my dog! I have a HUGE pitbull named Peeta (yes, as in hunger games. My cat is Katniss lmao!). He's only 9 months old so he's very energetic and likes to walk me, instead of the other way around. So I definitely miss our park outings. I miss the gym. Mostly the hot tub and pool. I'm heading to Knott's Berry Farm this weekend and I'm already bored at the thought of everyone having fun on the rides, and me being the one watching holding everyone's [RS bleep]. But whatever makes my kids happy lol!
Okay so that's a quick rundown of week 1. I might post some pics later tonight.

I am absolutely happy with my choice of Dr. Knoetgen to do my breast augmentation. This is something I've wanted for half my life and have built up this fantasy in my head. He has delivered that and more. The entire Beautologie staff in Fresno and Bakersfield are phenomenal. The whole process was almost too easy, and if I ever find myself wanting another cosmetic procedure in the future, this is the only place I would choose.
