Yesterday I went to the doctor to have my tubes removed...ouch...I was so excited though bc those things were holding me back. I felt great all day went shopping trying in new things and looking at the difference. They told me not to go bra shopping yet bc they are still changing...I still stopped into vs bc it was the semi annual sale...tried on different sizes and right now am fitting into 34 DD! I held off though bc my doc told me not to wear a bra for a MONTH! I bartend and I'm not sure how that one is going to work out ha. I guess undershirts are going to be my new best friend. I was exhausted after yesterday though and had a really hard time sleeping last night. Oh I finally got to shower for the first time as well, yay!!! Last night was rough...my boobs felt so much pressure on the incisions and pain, they feel heavy and achy. I think i over did myself yesterday bc I'm definitely feeling it today. Going to take it easy and rest most of the day hoping they start to feel better soon. And lighter....but I am in love with them. So happy for going with the size and type of implant I did. My doctor did am amazing Jo. And I definitely think it was worth it.

All I want is a shower!!!
It's day three since my surgery. Pain has seemed to subside a lot even since yesterday. I can get in and out of bed without helper squirming around for about 5 min. My doctor won't let me shower till the tubes are out and it's driving me nuts! Also, the bandeau I have to wear 24/7 is getting pretty annoying. I'm ready for these baby's to start feeling like normal so I can go about my normal routine. Most importantly I can't wait to start shopping for new bras, clothes, or anything that gives me an excuse to buy fun new things :))

How are you feeling?? I will go through phases of feeling okay, and horrible. I didn't realize how hard it would be to grab something that just out of reach. My incisions burn and I just feel super tight. But so far I think I'm in love with them! Stick in there I think last night/today is the worst. We can only get better from here :)

Feel like crap honestly. My doctor said I'd hate her. She worked her butt off to get in the size I needed to get my wish look but it was super hard and so she said I would be in a lot of pain .... And she's right. Yeah I had no clue is be this "needy" even after three c-sections I didn't hurt this bad :/ only uphill from here though!!

Keep up on your meds and just try sleeping as much as possible. That's what's going to help you heal the fastest I think, stick in there!

I wonder if larger implants are more painful in general? Or is it more based on elasticity of the boob skin? I'm planning on going big (A to a large c/D) but my current boob skin is pretty loose since breastfeeding for 18 months. Not scary loose or anything. Just not as perky as pre-kid.

I'm sure just bc your skin has to stretch that much more. I breasted for a year and understand the elasticity part. I went under the muscle though which is what I hear is the most painful.

Yeah, I went under the muscle and I think the pain depends on many factors. Your skin elasticity, muscle tightness, and size of implant. Because your muscle doesn't stretch when you breastfeed, if it's under the muscle I wouldn't think it mattered if you previously nursed or not :/
If that makes sense ???.... But previously having breastfed definitely helps with the amount of implant you can fit under the skin :)
