8 weeks post op Update!
Hello everyone! I have been slacking on my updates but not much has really changed. All I can say is I am so grateful I was able to take almost three weeks off of work after surgery. Im a hairdresser so I am constantly using my arms! Needed every minute of that time to heel. I had no issues going back to work, I honestly forget that they're there! I'm so used to them now that it's hard to imagine life without them. I've gotten so used to them I don't even feel like they're that big anymore. But in a good way! I felt a little awkward at first but now they feel like they're mine and gent are so proportionate to my body! Wearing an underwire bra day and night for three months had been though. I will admit I take it off for a few hours after work! But soon enough I'll only have to wear it during the day.
My left starting falling before my right. My left was always my bigger breast so it's still a little fuller than my right.
I still have some areas of numbness around my nipples but they are getting more and more feeling back as time goes on.
As far as rippling, I was worried I would have some because I didn't have a lot of breast tissue prior to surgery and I did choose saline implants however I haven't noticed any rippling. I'm always checking and bending over to see if I have any but so far so good. I can definitely feel the implants around the buttom of my breasts. It doesn't necessarily feel hard or anything but it definitely feels like something's "in there" if you know what I mean.
At the end of the day, I knew what I was getting into. I knew they would never feel like real breasts again but I was okay with that because I was so unhappy with them before. I felt this procedure was 100% worth it for me. I finally feel like a woman in all of my clothes and not like a 14 year old.
For me, saline was the right choice because I was not comfortable with a silicone implant in my body incase of rupture. I do not regret my choice. Maybe down the road, after children I will decide to switch to silicone but for now I am very happy with my choice

Post Op Day 8: No more meds as of today, feeling better
It's been a little over a week since my BA! I was struggling a lot with pain being off and on meds the past few days but today I'm feeling better. Just a sore feeling but my breasts are finally starting to feel like my own and not like they have "invaders" in them lol no one ever talked about the feeling other than the pain! Pain aside, the first week they truly feel like there are things in your boobs. Idk why but I assumed once they were in they hurt but they felt like your boobs. I don't just mean feel as in squeezing or touching them but the way they feel inside of you. Such a funny and uncomfortable feeling but thankfully it's going away. I was worried that's just how they would feel forever!
I took my tape off of my incisions today, which I was dreading because it just freaks me out. Still makes me queezy looking at them all exposed but they are actually healing up nicely.
It looks like my right seems to be a little slower dropping than my left but not by much. Bruises are starting to fade away too! I go back to work on the 9th and I hope I feel like myself again! I'm a hairdresser so having any pain while working would be terrible! My job is pretty much all upper body/arm movements all day so I need to be in good shape!
I've definitely gained some weight this past week sitting around healing. My pants are all tight :( I feel so motivated to go to the gym but of course I can't just yet.
Oh and for those about to get this procedure and be on the meds, make SURE you eat WHILE taking your meds to ensure food in your stomach. Yesterday I ate breakfast and lunch so when I took my meds all morning and afternoon I assumed I would be fine. Nope, apparently not enough food in my system because I was puking ALL over the target parking lot and in the car. What a sight that must have been. So make sure you take your meds WITH food! -_-
I'll probably update again for week 2!
Thank you all for your support!

Post Op Day 6- So Much Pain :(
On day 4, After trying multiple laxatives on top of the stool softener my ps prescribed, and TONS of prune juice, I was still so uncomfortably contipated and bloated to the point where I looked a few months pregnant! I was miserable! My Ps warned me that the Oxy and muscle relaxer could cause constipation and to make sure I was taking my stool softener and maybe a laxative to help but seriously nothing was working so That night I stopped taking the Oxy and muscle relaxer. The only remedy for pain I had was the extra stregth ib profin and Tylenol. By morning of day 5 I was finally able to go to the bathroom (thank GOD) and the bloating was going down. But the PAIN wasn't just the tight heavy feeling I had when I was under pain meds, it was excruciating! Maybe im just a whimp but just getting off the couch was terrible. I didn't sleep at all last night. Even with Tylenol pm. My chest was bad but on top of that my back was so cramped and achey from sleeping on my back so many nights (which I almost never normally do) that I didn't get a wink of sleep. Now that my bloating and consitipation settled, today I started taking Oxy again to get by but only one instead of two. It is still causing some bloating but so far not too bad. I'm going to try to only take it when necessary. Is anyone else struggling with the pain from this procedure as much as me? I did so much reading and watched SO many BA vlogs on YouTube before my surgery and EVERY single girl swore that it "wasn't that bad" and it was "just a tight feeling" so I wasn't expecting to be this miserable. My boobs are looking great so far but the pain I'm going through makes me wonder if it was all worth it. When does the pain stop?:((
