Ok, so it's day 3! The pain seems to decrease about 50% everyday. I still need assistance to stand but am able to walk unassisted to the bathroom. I am heeding my doctors warning and staying ahead of the pain. I also get up and walk around every 2 hours or so. It really helps. I'm bandaged from my boobs to my woowoo. I don't have much of an appetite, but I eat something light every 3 hours or so.

Haha. I'm not sure I'm flat yet! I was hoping to go down to a D. 5 days post op and I'm not ready to stand up but I'm down to 2 pain pills a day. Only 12 more hours to my last injection (enoxaparin sodium). Those suckers HURT!! Tomorrow is the big unveil!! How's it going for you two?

Day 7 post op

FeliciaLPSeptember 24, 2013

Well they removed most of my bandages yesterday and I almost cried! They look so small! So, not me! I turn to my husband, a little shaky, his response...Wow! I'm going to Victoria's Secret and buying you every matching set in there!! Needless to say I'm feeling much more confident today! I went from a 34 JJJ to a 34 C! I have full nipple sensation and manageable pain. I'm still pretty hunched over and get tired quickly but overall I'm doing pretty good.

You look great! We were the same size 34jj. My doc wants to make me a small d or large c. I'm just ready to be on the other side 3 weeks to go! Keep recovering well.
