The Twins Big Night Out
HappyBunnyHampshireFebruary 2, 2018
$5,647
It was our big family meal at the poshest hotel I've been allowed into in my life on Saturday and the twins behaved beautifully. I did try my dress on with my surgical bra but you could see the straps and the band at the back so I threw caution to the wind and let them go free. I was concerned they might feel heavy but the stretchy fabric supported them and I didn't notice them at all (they were probabIy anaesthetised by the amount of champgne I drank) I know I'm no spring chicken but each time I went to the bathroom I could feel several pairs of eyes watching me which was a novelty
Before my BA I would never have had the confidence to wear a dress like this or if I did, I would have had to wear a bra with thick padding so the knowledge that these were all mine felt good. On my previously boyish figure that dress would have looked empty but now I'm an hourglass it went in and out in all the right places (if I say so myself)
All 4 of my children plus their partners were at the hotel and my eldest daughter did stare at my boobs for much of the evening so I'm sure she's wondering where these suddenly sprouted from but I explained that the dress had built in support and padding and that seemed to satisfy her
I'm nearly at week 7 and getting lots of pings and random stabbing pains. They've definitely dropped and have lost that shiny, stretched look so they look like real boobs. They're feeling squishier and jiggle now when I go up and down stairs. I don't have much feeling from the nipples downwards but I know I'm early on still - I haven't seen my PS yet because my appointment was moved back and by then I'll be 10 weeks post op so I'll let you know what he says about that. Each week I'm feeling more and more like my old self - my energy levels are back to normal and I'm sleeping so much better now which makes everything else much easier
I still haven't lifted anything properly heavy or tried to swim but lifting stuff around the house feels less scary these days
Best wishes to all of you who are about to go under and good healing to those of you who've just had it done [RS bleep]

Took the twins to Pub Quiz
HappyBunnyHampshireJanuary 18, 2018
Those of you who are worrying that friends and relations will notice your new additions might be encouraged by my experience at pub quiz last night. 6 people were at the table, most of whom have known me for 15-20 years. I wore a figure hugging sweater (as a test I guess) and was sitting two feet away from one of my girlfriends of 20 years and not one glance at the twins. I'm still wearing my post surgery bra but on its tightest hooks so my boobs were waving "HELLOOOO we're here" but nothing.
I had 415 Overs which is pretty large for my 5'2" frame but clearly my friends have got used to me wearing padded bras over the years and I look normal to them
Everything feels better this week. Whether it's the HRT kicking in or just that the twins aren't so demanding, I slept 7 straight hours last night. I can feel my energy levels returning and the aching which I found very draining has diminished. I still get zingers and weird electrical tingles but I see that as a good thing
I started side sleeping again at the weekend. The first night I was paranoid that I would wake up with one huge monoboob where my implants had slid together but I woke up the next morning and nope, they're still where I saw them last
I'm back on multivitamins now that 4 weeks have passed since my op and although my GP doesn't hold any truck with vitamins (she calls them expensive urine) the flaky patches on my face are clearing up and my nails have begun to grow again so as they say - you do the math
I tried my bodycon dress on without a bra and it felt great. There is a cut out just where my boobs meet and I had my very own cleavage not one due to padding woo hoo. I must admit I did a little victory dance. Whether I can go braless for a whole evening I will find out next Saturday and report back
My better half is finding the twins very exciting and wants to cuddle them a lot more than usual which is fine but sometimes they need a nap and are grumpy. I'm sure the novelty will wear off eventually ;0))
Oh by the way, I met up with my oldest friend and she didn't clock my new bazookas either.
Hope everyone is being kind to themselves [RS bleep]

Great news that no one has keeled over at the site of your new twins yet ! Hope you enjoy your evening out Saturday and you’re ok going braless for the evening, what a novelty not having to match an outfit to what padded bra you can hide under it, can’t wait for this !Good to hear you’re getting more sleep now, sleep deprivation makes everything harder to deal with doesn’t it. Anyway enjoy your evening out with your twins Saturday x
January 18, 2018
so glad to read that people probably won’t notice! I was telling a friend of mine that I doubt people will realize I had it done but she insisted, “oh yes they will!” I still think the general public isn’t as boob-obsessed as we are. 5 weeks left to go for me!!! Eeeee!

I think it probably depends on lifestyle and location tbh. I live in the UK where we wear coats 364 days a year but in California - where a crop top and skimpy shorts are probably normal attire it would be much harder to conceal your new assets. As a dog walker I wear hoodies much of the time but if you work as a pole dancer that would be a different story. You must be so excited for your op - do you feel you have everything in place?
January 19, 2018
I’m not sure what else I should be doing to prepare. I bought a reading pillow so I’ll be al to sleep upright better. The dr provides 2 bras so I’ll be ok there. I’m earring my sizers as we speak and plan on taking them to the mall to make sure they are around a C cup! I want 300 cc and I think that’s where they’ll take my little A cups. Should I be doing anything else? Pre-op is in 9 days!

I'd just move everything you use on a regular basis down to waist level. For the first 3 weeks, my OH made sure that my can of soup, coffee mug, small jug of water to top up the kettle, and anything else I might need hadn't been moved too high for me to reach before he went off to work. I couldn't lift a 2 litre carton of milk so we decanted it into a small jug. We've still got my shampoo and conditioner on the floor or the shower tray so I don't have to stretch to the shower caddy. We have a tall fridge and I can guarantee that the thing I needed was on the top shelf so you might need to move everything down. You'll need to think like a T Rex for the first few weeks - imagine you have tiny little arms and can only reach things within that radius and you'll be fine. I used a travel neck pillow to stop me sliding down the bed but it sounds like you have everything sorted
January 19, 2018
Sounds like a successful night out! I’m slightly less tender and sore when I messaged you the other day so hopefully have turned the corner!
January 19, 2018
I'm glad to hear you're getting along just fine these days and relatively as expected, it seems. I have had similar experience with regard to people noticing. I work as an administrator at an office and we are all in cubicles very close together. I told my two closest girlfriends before my surgery both because they're physically very close to me and we are also socially very close and I didn't know if I would end up being humongous and extremely obvious and wanted to avoid the awkward conversation after the fact. They both have said that if I hadn't told them I was having it done, they would never have known. While it is QUITE obvious outside of clothing, I think the fact that I am no longer wearing as heavily padded bras and am obviously in clothing, conceals them quite nicely. Good luck this weekend going braless!

Glad to hear everything is going well. I haven't worn anything tight or revealing yet due to the cold. A little anxious about the big reveal but your post makes me feel less anxious. I am 6wks PO and I can say the hubby "boob infatuation" has not worn off yet ! If anything it has gotten worse as they heal and the better they look the more obsessed he is with them. Lol I am loving all the extra attention lol
January 22, 2018
Haha, I've been reading your posts and I can completely understand your hubby's infatuation (not in a weird way) because you look so shapely. Once the warmer weather is here and you and I have the girls on display I don't expect either of us will get a moment's peace! So glad you're feeling better - those first few weeks are damn rough aren't they? But we both held out and we have the best bit to come x

Jiggling and Bouncing and HRT
HappyBunnyHampshireJanuary 12, 2018
It's 4 weeks tomorrow and today I could feel my boobs bouncing when I went over some speed bumps so I think they're starting to soften.
My left (right as you look at photos) is quite a bit more swollen than my right but I know that will sort itself out in time and I have more upper pole fullness in that boob so I'm guessing the implant is still higher on that side. I'm still numb from above the nipples down to my crease but it's only 4 weeks so I'm just letting myself heal and not getting worked up about it (ironically my side boobs and upper poles are very tender).
I have a question - I'm going to a special occasion on the 27th of January and would like to wear a bodycon dress but I'll need a bra. At this stage is it worth buying a new bra or shall I wait until I've dropped? If I go braless, how practical will that be for a whole evening?
The great news is that my GP has put me back on HRT because I've not slept a full night since October due to the night sweats so I will feel like a new woman in a couple of weeks YIPPEEE
Just need to lose the extra pounds I gained post-op and I'll start feeling like myself again.
Hope you're all healing well and taking life gently - I'd appreciate any advice on the bra situation please [RS bleep]

I'm glad to hear you're on the path to better sleep. Hopefully sleeping better will help you overall too. Sleep is such an important part of healing and of course making you feel emotionally better about everything! I was starting to worry a little about you because you seemed to be a bit blue. I was feeling the same as you where the side boob was VERY tender to the touch. I described it as sand paper on sun burn. You actually helped me to accurately describe the sensation as sun burn but when something touched it is when it felt like sandpaper! Rest assured that should go away! It has for me. My nipples are still very sensitive and get sore by the end of the day but it's definitely tolerable. I had an outfit that required I go braless and I did! It was perfectly fine for me but I could feel the weight of my new boobs by the end of the night. It wasn't terrible but more tiring. Have you tried going braless for very long yet? That might be a good gauge.
January 14, 2018
That's so sweet of you to be worried about me. Yes, Week 3 was definitely the toughest so far - they don't call it the Boobie Blues for nothing! And you're so right about sleep - I wasn't getting more than 4 hours sleep a night plus my family were all sick with the flu and I was working all day then looking after them all in the evenings so I got really run down and emotional. They're all recovered now so I'm feeling much better and once the HRT kicks back the sweats will stop so I can get a full 8 hours.
So far I've only taken my surgical bra off for showering and to flash my husband but I'm still finding that after 15 minutes I'm missing the support so I need to build up to going braless. Although I can't feel it, my right nipple is permanently standing to attention so I'll need to wear a nipple cover if I do go without a bra. I'll give it a try around the house and let you know how I get on Xx
