Day 9 PO! Feeling good!

I'm a 39 yr old RN and mother of 4. I'm about 5' 1.5" and 122 lbs. My kids range in age from 6 up to 15 yrs old. I breastfed all of them. In fact, when I added it up, I've spent over 7 years of my life breastfeeding. That certainly does a number on the girls! I started out as a small 34B or 32C. With pregnancies and breastfeeding, I'd go up to a wonderful full 34C, but each time I would completely deflate. I've been left with very small deflated 32Bs. With nipples that fall into my breast. That's a good look.

Anyway, after years of going back and forth on the subject and getting basically NO support from my husband, I've finally decided to just do it already! I'm so tired of not fitting properly into clothes, bathing suits in particular. Plus, I'm totally disproportionate. I carry all my weight in my hips, which makes them look even bigger and my top look even smaller! I'm so excited to finally look balanced! I'm going with about 340cc silicone unders (size may be tweaked a bit, still a little unsure). I'm aiming for a refill basically, so if I could end up at a nice 34C (or 32D) I'll be very pleased. My biggest concern is that I'm going to be too full on top. I don't want it to look like I'm wearing a push-up bra when I'm not even wearing a bra, KWIM? And I don't want what my husband likes to call "eyeball boobs" LOL! (If you've seen the movie Ted, that's even funnier.)

Speaking of my husband (of almost 19 years!), he's being irrational in thinking this will get me all this attention from guys (please!) and can't seem to wrap his brain around the fact that I'm doing it for myself, not anyone else. He's starting to come around now, and is reluctantly supportive, but he's still being incredibly insecure about this whole thing. Has anyone else had this problem? Good grief! You'd think he'd be excited! LOL

Tomorrow I go see my regular MD for my pre-op. I'm going to go pick up my meds as well. I've been given Rx's for keflex, percocet, zofran, celebrex and a muscle relaxer that I can't remember the name of. I'm also going to pick up some arnica.

I'm taking about 4-5 days off from work. I'm really freaking out about this. I can't afford more time off (fairly new job, no sick/vaca time). I'll work in labor/delivery, but I'll be needing to keep it low-key (i.e. no actively laboring moms) or stick to post-partum for awhile. Any other nurses out there been back so quickly?

Thanks for reading! Whew!
