Well after feeling so great on day 5, i decided To work yesterday! It was 6 days post op, I had to drive too which was also a mistake.
I think over all the full day was just too much movement, even gear changes and reaching for the seatbelt was an effort, so I paid for it and had to ice all afternoon! Today I rested and was actually fine when I woke up.
The squelching noises have gone, but I do sometimes get sharp pain, it's usually if I try sleeping on my side, it's still too uncomfortable so still on my back.
Swelling on my sides is definelty going down, and there starting to feel less numb!
Having to work and drive tomorrow so hoping I'll be ok after!
Have my week check next Monday 17th and wounds checked, hopefully they will give me the all clear to start some light cv as having major withdrawals from exercise!

Day 5 what a difference! Most definitely on the road to recovery! :)
Today I managed to dry and straighten my hair with no pain, still hurts to do certain movements and still a bit bruised and swollen on my sides.
Today is my last day of meds, I've been taking Paracetamol today but not sure I really need it. My surgeon said arnica tablets are probably a waste of time, I've started them today just in case they help with bruising.
I'm still off work, and not driving. Friday will be the week marker, my checkup is Monday can't wait to see how he thinks I'm doing, also looking forward to starting some light cv, not sure if he will make me wait another week yet though.

I've read so much helpful info on here prior to my surgery so thought I'd also share my experience.
Im 30 I've always been around a 32/34 A/B 5.5ft, around 128llbs and wanted implants for as long as I can remember, however never had the spare cash or confidence to go for it. I went for my first consultation in april after doing lots of research however after realising the time I would need off I decided to wait until December. At that point I decided on 360cc silicone implants, which I was told would take me to a 34D
I needed to go for a second consultation since it had been so long, I had been doing so much worrying about the size and panicking they would be too big I decided to try smaller ones, so glad I did! I decided the 330 were far less drastic, my job involves a lot of sport and I can't think of anything worse than having a huge chest bouncing around and I didn't want it to be really obvious when I returned to work. My surgeon still advised me to buy a 34DD bra for afterwards! He still thinks I will be about a 34D when they settle.
I went in for my op on 7 December and had a huge mix of nerves and excitement! I couldn't believe I was actually doing it! I was a bit scared about having a general anaesthetic as I'd never had one, but it was over before I knew it!
When I woke up I had really bad pain down the middle of my chest but after some meds and sleep it eased off. I went home the next day and was only given anti inflam tabs antibiotic and paracetamol. I thought I'd struggle to sleep especially on my back but 3 nights on I've been fine. I'm still pretty swollen but can already feel them easing up at the top, still no chance of getting a razor into they under arms though! And I've not even attempted a blow dry, I feel it sore even after simple tasks so trying to really take it easy this week
I've to wear my Bra for 3 weeks and go back next week for my week check.
I'm already really happy with them, I do have quite a gap down the middle but my surgeon said as the muscles relax and they drop they will come together more, hope so, I want a good cleavage!
I'm always on the go so resting has been a bit of a nightmare I just want to get stuff done! Hoping by the weekend I can start doing a bit more, I already just want to shop for some nice new underwear but I know it's too early!
Been reading a few concerns about having them prior to children but to be honest I don't plan on them for at few years yet and want to enjoy my body as much as I can, I know if I wait there will be plenty more things that will take priority and then I'll prob not want to spend the money on them. They will eventually need revised so I've accepted after babies they might need revision, but might be lucky. Another reason I decided on the 330cc as if they get even bigger when I'm pregnant I don't want them looking ridiculous!
I'll hopefully get some pics uploaded soon.
Only bizarre thing when I lift my arm up and down sounds so weird squelching noise, my surgeon said its just trapped air and will go away, I hope so! Anyone have this?? I really want to go out a short gentle walk get rid of cabin fever! Anyone else do this in the first week? I can't handle any more sitting around!!
