23 Years Old, 155 lbs, 5'2, 30G Ready to Ditch the Back Pain and Ill-fitting Clothes

I feel so much better after my shower. My partner of course had to help me but it really helped. But OKAY. THE BOOBS.
Just saw them for the first time and oh. My. God. They're SO SMALL! :D
Nipple placement, size, it all looks perfect! And the swelling is still pretty intense. So I know they'll get smaller and that's super exciting to me.
I couldn't be happier. I can already tell it was so so worth it!

I'm happy to say that everything went great! I spent most of the first and second day of recovery pretty loopy on pain meds. I'm still kind of having trouble staying away and not slurring my words.

I'm not in as much pain as I thought I'd be but it's still not fun. My underboob incisions keep throbbing and my sternum, armpits and shoulders ache pretty bad even with the painkillers.

I started taking miralax as soon as I got home and still nothing (I know it's tmi but hey, this is the reality of it) so I'm pretty bloated. But luckily I still have my appetite.

I'm excited to say that even with the swelling they're way smaller than I thought they'd be! I'm thrilled.

However I took a peek under the dressings and I'm worried that my nipples are too high up. I specifically made a point to Dr. M that I didn't want them too high up. I've seen plenty of post op results with people's nipples too high. I know a lot of doctors say they'll settle out and reshape as the healing process goes on but I've seen enough nipples that have never settled back down that I'm still wary. But it's only day 2.

Good thing I'm so messed up on painkillers otherwise I'd be losing my mind at home alone all day.

I'll make sure to post more pics after I take my first shower tonight! Thanks to everyone sending me love and support!

I'm kind of freaking out? I'm excited for surgery tomorrow morning but just scared that it might hurt. I know realistically it won't hurt as bad as I think it will but still ahhhh.

Yesterday I went to the beach with some friends since because of the surgery I won't be able to go swimming this summer :(

It's a shame that for the first time in my life I found a swimsuit that fits my chest and that this is the first and last time I'll get to use it! (It gave me some hilarious sunburn lines tho)

Today I went out and got a neck pillow in preparation for sleeping on my back on the wedge pillow. My friend also picked up my dog who she's going to babysit for my first week. Now I'm just cleaning my sheets last minute. I can't believe that after years it's finally happening!

Wish me luck!!!
