I'm doing well- still really tired and unable to do much. Last night I had a glass of wine and was up and around for a while and it completely knocked me out. I've been sleeping really well at night, and I'm going to definitely wean myself off the norcos today. I'm down to a half pill every 4 hours and Motrin in between. Pretty much pain free, aside from my back hurting from sleeping upright! Since I'm 2 hours away from my surgeon, he asked me to send him pictures today to keep an eye on things. He just called and said he has no concerns and everything is looking good! I'll be checking in with him again on Friday!

Well, it is done! I'm about 36 hrs po. No pictures yet, but I'll put some up this afternoon after my first shower.
Everything went really smoothly! They took 500g out of my right breast and 400 out of my left. They feel so small! (YESS) Like I can't believe it. My pain hasn't been bad since waking up- the worst pain I felt was probably right when I woke up. I didn't have any nausea or anything, but I told every nurse and the anesthesiologist that I was afraid of vomiting ahead of time, so I've been on a lot of anti-nausea stuff. But yes- no pain, just soreness and feeling loopy from the drugs. I think I'm only going to take the Norco for one more day, then try and step down to ibuprofen.
I think i love them already!! they are so franken boobish, but high and tight little things.
Weird- My PS's directions have been so different than many of yours. He doesn't have me in a bra, in fact, he says don't wear a bra unless it is more comfortable. It has felt comfortable to go braless with a little bandage taped underneath to catch any leakage, so that's what I've been doing. He's really into the 'listen to your body, do what you can do' school of thinking, and says to push myself a little to do a bit more everyday. This morning I've been up and around pretty good and it feels good to move after 2 days of being very still.
I'll post those pictures in a couple of hours!
