I used to love my boobies until ingrained and lost weight and they did as well!! I decided 4 years ago that I wanted BA. Yesterday was my surgery and today is second day post op. I actually felt really good yesterday but today I feel more pain and pressure on my chest!! It feels like someone sitting on my chest! The pain meds are helping but I feel like every 4 hours I need to take them. Also noticed that my left breast is way higher than my right and very tight. Looks weird but I'm assuming after reading a lot of the posts that this is normal. I'm really excited to see how they drop and start looking more natural because right now they look a bit scary, I have been icing them with ice packs and it seems to help a lot but not really sure if I should be doing that as often as I have. The nurse gave me these ice packs for both breasts and was told as long as I don't put them where my incisions are I will be fine. I go back to see my doctor on Monday and will keep you all posted with what he has to say!!! BTW I have a great doctor!!! Will post pics when I'm able to.

I haven't been able to sleep through the night since my BA. I'm not sure if what I'm feeling is normal or if I should be worried. My left breast is really really tight and very high. I have no bruising that I can see but it does hurt. I don't feel like any of the pressure has let up yet. Is this normal? I know that my right breast was a little bigger then my left so my doctor put 600 on the left and I believe 580 on the right. I was still a little out of it when he told me but will see him tomorrow for my first appt following my BA. I am really excited about my new girls and want them to already be normal ?? I know I have a little ways to go. I have the next week off and hope that the pressure and pain feeling will subside. I hope today is gonna be easier than yesterday. I was in a lot of pressure pain if that makes sense? I've been walking around the house and trying not to sit too much because sometimes sitting down hurts way more than moving around!!

Are u sleeping on an incline? You can't lay flat on your back. Maybe your ps can give you a few sleeping pills?

I am sleeping on an incline couch with pillows propped up behind me. Right now I'm feeling ok but ALWAYS know when the meds are wearing off

Still haven't slept through the whole night but don't feel to bad. Got up at 4 this morning with my husband so that I could take a quick wash. I was told not to take a shower until I see my doctor.(that was never gonna happen). I have cheated of course and thank God for the best husband ever!! Washing up has been the BEST feeling I've had since my BA!!! I just can't wait to wash/wet my whole body!!

Anyhow, I am noticing now a burning sensation in my right breast. Not sure if this is normal but I will see my doctor today and will be asking a lot of questions. I'm still concerned about my left breast and how high and tight it is. I am sure all this is normal but I I can't help but question it???? I am still having pain but no bruising as far as I can see. I can't seem to get into a comfortable position now like I was able to on the first couple days. Back is still hurting. I am just looking forward to the pain to subside!!! I've had my hair up since my surgery this morning being the first time taking it down and combing my hair.....I know that's bad but I couldnt lift my arms without sharp pains. I have noticed today that i am able to lift my arms some without the sharp pains but still very uncomfortable!! I will update later today after I see my doctor!!
