Three weeks post
WORTH IT$8,000
I can't believe it's already three weeks post! I am living my daily life with almost no restrictions! After a long day I may be slightly less energetic than usual, but not extremely so. I miss exercising sooo much, but I try to be outside regularly, which is easy given the pooch wanting to be walked :D
I am still wearing my post-op bra. I am technically allowed to wear any sports bra, as long as it gives enough support, but I am a bit paranoid about doing something wrong. I finally went sports bra shopping yesterday and I found an awesome shock absorber model in 34E. According to the guide in the subreddit ABraThatFits (check it out -- seriously!!!) I am more of a 32E/F right now (of course this might change a lot still, seeing that I am only three weeks post!), but the shock absorber bands seem to run tight. Wearing the new bra at home however, I realised that it was super-tight. Which I think might be desirable in a sports bra later on, but right now I am scared to put unwanted pressure on the implants. So I ordered another shock absorber bra in 34F online and hope this will be better for my current situation.
So far, noone commented on my newly-there boobs, which is unsurprising (I think I wouldn't even notice just by looking at myself dressed) and awesome! And after those approximately three days of massive boob-greed have passed, I am super-happy with the size! I think they look great on my body and I finally have a proper hourglass figure! Whee! Never thought this would happen. I feel incredibly feminine.
The only other boob-related thing worth mentioning would be that my right nipple is sore. Unpleasant! It is manageable with bepantene and cotton pads under the bra, though.
Have pleasant evenings, smooth recoveries, calm last couple of days before the surgeries, and exciting hours of researching and planning for the procedure, dear people of realself!

Happy but exhausted
So after having a minor boob-greed crisis yesterday, looking at my photos (and in the mirror) again today, I am so so happy with the size! They are actually perfect. I think it was mostly hormones and the whole change that was making me feel like going on a rant yesterday.
My boobs are marvellous and I keep grinning and I am soooo glad I went through with the procedure! Also it's funny how before I made up my mind to go through with the breast augmentation I was so worried about how cosmetic surgery could be compatible with the picture I had of myself. I made the decision based on rational explanations, that yes, getting cosmetic surgery was something that did align with how I wanted to see myself and once I made the decision I felt calm and ready. But now that I actually went through with it and I'm so happy, not only do I feel that getting a breast augmentation was so absolutely what I wanted, but I also don't really understand anymore what made me doubt in the first place! Of course I still know what my worries were and what had held me back from getting one much earlier, but emotionally it feels so perfectly right and I am so proud to have gone through with it, that I am astonished of ever having having been unsure whether it is a good idea (for me personally).
On another note -- I did my first post-op teaching today -- 2 hours at a black board. It's quite unfortunate -- I was told this morning that I had to do a substitute for a sick colleague. So that means another 2 hours tomorrow and then my regular 4 hours the day after tomorrow. This is gonna be something. After today I was just ready to lie down and not do anything anymore. So much holding my arm up and moving the blackboard up and down. I really admire those of you who get this surgery and then go on to work in physically properly straining jobs after just a short break. My muscles still feel a bit sore, but I decided that for once I could allow myself to just go home and lie around watching tv shows for the rest of the night. I think it is helping. ;)

Two-week check-up
Today I got my stitches removed! Which means -- I can take a full shower again without having to worry about anything! Yay! In fact, I'll jump under the shower as soon as I have typed this update.
My recovery is going incredibly well. Since the one-week mark everything has gotten better and better and when I am out and about or working I usually forget I had such a major procedure only two weeks ago! I still try not to carry heavy things and I don't work out, but otherwise, I lead my life as usual. Only thing is, that I get out of breath sooo easily, it is a bit embarrassing. Even walking a flight of stairs will have me breathing heavily. Lol.
Emotionally it has been pretty good too. However, I do still feel insecurities about my boobs, which I had hoped would be over once I got surgery. Only now I think they are kind of ridiculous and mostly vanity/ putting the wrong focus. Since I was super-flat before surgery and have a large frame, my 400cc are still decidedly on the small side for my body. In clothes, I look like before with my push-ups (which I am actually happy about) and naked they still look small. And this will get more so once the swelling goes down, I fear.
I had known that boob-greed was a big thing and I had also known that I was the kind of person who probably would be susceptible to this, so it comes as no surprise. Moreover, I heavily rely on exercise to make me feel good in my body -- a mixture of endorphines and seeing what I am capable of doing usually makes me super-happy with my body. Since that is out I often feel kind of meh. Also, even though my SO seems to like them, it's not as if he's much more into them as before. And I know SO likes big boobs, so I'm all fretful and thinking that probably I am disappointing with still being so small.
Alright, done with my rant! All in all I am super-excited they are healing so well and everything looks so symmetrical! Also -- shower!!! :D
The pictures I attached are in my too-small pre-op bra, which makes it conveniently revealing ;)
