I have boobies!!

I realized that I forgot to give a shoutout to my BFF and Fiance, who have been super supportive and have made sure that I'm comfortable and well looked after. They came with me for my shopping, read through all the info I sent them, and had their own post-op questions. I definitely wouldn't have felt nearly as good about this if they hadn't been there for me. They were even there though my cold feet and have assured me that my guilt over the money and the supposed selfishness was ridiculous.

I love them dearly, and hope that everyone can have people so supportive with them!

Good luck and speedy recoveries everyone!

I did it!

Surgery was at 11:45 this morning, and I'm feeling great. I had a super bad case of cold feet last night and this morning, but now that it's over I'm super happy. I don't feel like I could run a marathon or anything, but I'm not feeling terrible either.

I had 325cc Mentor silicone implants, round, smooth, and through a crease incision under the muscle (I believe dual plane). They look a little small, but to be honest I'm happy about that. I'll get them larger when I need to get them switched out, so these are kind of my "training-wheel boobies". I'm not excited about not showering until Saturday, but I can deal. Not bathing for a few weeks will definitely be the hard part! I really love my baths...

I'll post a full run-down of my surgery experience later, once my brain isn't so flighty.

So, surgery day has finally arrived (well, tomorrow), and I have to say I'm not really feeling any of the excitement that most people seem to. I don't really think this has anything to do with the surgery, just a crazy exam season has left me feeling blah. I don't think this is a bad thing though, I'm not excited, but I'm also not nervous. I AM feeling sad that its my last night with my small breasts...I do like how they look and I'm still hoping I don't ruin them. I don't think I'm going to post pics from days 1-3, I'm supposed to keep the bandages on until then, so I'm not going to tempt fate and look at the frankenboobies too soon.

I finished my pre-op shopping and have my list! I bought:

- A body pillow, an extra pillow, and a lower back support pillow,
- Post-op bra, zip-front.
- Bio oil
- Senokot (Laxatives)
- Ice packs
- plugs for my piercings
- antibacterial body-wash
- books from the library (not bought, but whatever!)
- Boost (I'm not sure how much I'll be eating)
- Pill sorter

I still have to get silicone scar sheets (will do later as I won't need them for a while), and a container for the car (in case I puke). If anyone else has suggestions, please pass them along! I'll try to update when I'm on the other side! :D
