One week post op
Well, it has been one entire week since I had my surgery. I went in today to have my stitches removed. I feel wonderful. I worked all week long without feeling tired or sore. I can't wait until I'm able to start working out again. It is going to be great to go running without big balloons bouncing all over the place and causing pain in my body! YAY for freedom from those monsters! Well, I hope to take a picture tomorrow. I can really tell the difference. I am already fluffing a bit, and I don't look as saggy. I can honestly say that I'm at a point in my life that it doesn't matter what my boobs look like, I'm pleased as long as I'm healthy and happy! Oh yeah. My husband now knows about my surgery and he's very happy for me! Things just keep getting better! :) Have a nice evening ladies.

24 hours since removal
Well, it has been 24 hours since my bags of saline were removed. I went to the PS today to get my incision checked out and get new dressings. I am feeling wonderful. I am taking my antibiotics and inflammatory drug, but I don't feel the need for my pain killers. I took my kiddos for a fun lunch out today, and I still have tons of energy. I think my body feels great that it isn't carrying around those extra 2+ pounds on my chest anymore.
I took some pictures, and I'm not feeling as traumatized as yesterday. Yes, they are loose and saggy, but I know that they will tighten and perk up in time. I'm a patient person, so I'm just going to keep a record of their progression. I'm sure that in 6 months it will feel as though those plastic bags were just a terrible nightmare.
My husband is still not aware of my procedure, but he has an idea because I told him that I had some work done. I'm positive that he knows this is the work I'm talking about, because I've been playing with the idea for such a long time. He knows I'm a lot more confident in myself now, that I wouldn't do anything other than try to go back to my natural self. If we had more time to talk to each other, I would discuss it. However, we don't have that luxury, so I like to keep our conversations simple and sweet. No stress! :)

Thank you so much! It's such a relief to be free. When I came out of surgery my kids said, "Woah! Mom, you're skinny!" Honestly, it looks like I dropped ten pounds over night. Although it was only 2 pounds my back is thanking me.

Hahaha! That is the comment I get most. I just have to snicker when people ask, "Have you lost weight?" I say, "yes, about 3 lbs"!

Hi there, glad your feeling so well. Our surgeries were only a day apart, however I'm still laid up. I had a capsulatomy on my left tho and internal lift. I'm ready to have some energy back and feel better. You look good, we just need to be patient while we fluff and heal. I'm with you, my left has more volume then right. But I breast fed so I figured.
Good Luck in your recovery. God Bless :-)

Me too...my left was an entire cup size bigger (always has been). When Dr. Chun said he had to remove some of the tissue from the left, I was so sad. I asked him when he couldn't just move it over to the right side, hehe.

Yes, I also breasted, but prior to my initial BA. I wish you the best of luck with your recovery as well. Congratulations on the explanation!

You look great. Seeing you in the black sports bra is such an encouraging image for me. I miss my flatter, athletic looking self. I will post pics soon! My explant surgery is on Wednesday and I am nervous but mostly excited. You look fantastic. Good for you for choosing to be healthy and natural. Such a good example for your kiddos! : ) Thank you for sharing!!
