Day 7 after BA

I can't believe that 1 week ago today at this time I was in surgery having my BA! How time flies when you're unlove :) Haha. Well, its my day off and I should be sleeping in but my tush hurts. Going to try to warm up a pillow or something and see if i can't try to rest for another hour or so. Will update later. Going to a BBQ tonight.

I don't know if you mentioned or not, I might have missed that part from reading but can you tell me what kind of implant you got? Saline or silicone? Thanks

Day 6 after surgery

So I went into see my Doc today for my 1st post op and everything went great!! My stitches will dissolve away on it's own within the next 2-4weeks and he showed me how to start massaging them. I'm so excited to start that to soften these babies up!! ( I posted a pic of how much I can squeeze without it being too much pain) I saw a pic of someone during my research and it helped a lot so I wanted to do the same.

He showed me 3 different ways of massaging and said that I should not worry too much about buying any nice expensive bras for now as the will probably drop about 20% in size once they settle in :( I love them the way they are NOW!!! LOL....but so serious! Either way- I am grateful for them. SO I went to Walmart asI saw on someones review about the genie bra and OMGeeeeee.....Love love love this bra!! It is so comfy and you get 2 of them for $19.88 its the as seen on TV bra. This is by far my best buy! (Also have a pic with this bra on in the nude color) He also recommends I buy scarguard which is what most PS uses- works wonders for scars but I didn't worry about buying that yet until my stitches fall off. I think I am going to order that online for 1/2 the price as it is being sold at the PS office. I know I have lots of pics- but they were a lot of help for me when I was doing my research!! I've never looked at so many boobies in all of my life until now. LOL!!! but so true!

Well- that is it for now! Can't believe tomorrow will be a week since my BA- how time flies!!! Good luck to everyone!

Hey Lady!! It went well. Didn't like the sitting all day for 10hrs but-I'm happy today was my friday! My tush hurts almost worst than my boobies do. LOL. I'm glad to hear your boobies are softening up. Mine are getting there after starting my massage today. I took a pic of how much I can massage them without hurting. I saw someone else's pic like it a while back while doing my research and it helped tremendously so I want to be able to do the same. I can't wait until mine moves like the real thing. haha!! Hurry and give us an update!!! :)

Hi! I'm 4'11" .I was quite worried about the size, your review has helped me a lot, I was thinking something between 350-275, cause my hips are big and I would like to get a hourglass shape. Do you feel good with this size? I would like something a bit bigger but not huge.

4 Days after surgery

Wow!! I can't believe I'm already going back to work tomorrow. Booooo.....for that! But-Im feeling almost 100% better so no complaining there. A huge thanks to my hubby! He has been by my side everyday since my BA last Friday. Amazing man!

I have been eating normal making sure to get my fruits and veggies in and of course my pasta!! I've been icing, icing, icing, no more swelling!! Hooray!!! Still a little bruising under the boobies (which I discovered was from the bra I came home in) so last night and all day today I went bra-less. I just got out of the shower and I am just wearing a nice tube top with some VS boxers. Feeling good I must say. Carefree. I have completed my nausea meds only a few antibiotics to go and tons of pain meds because thank God!!!.....I haven't needed them. All day today I have only taken 1 dose of XS tylenol and honestly- I really didn't even need it. I know this is TMI- but I'm happy to report that I have been pretty fortunate and been able to have a stool everyday since my BA. My TIP for that is....prunes and pears!!!

Now, I just can't wait for these new babies to soften up for me. One other thing- I NEVER reread what I post so if it's too much or doesn't make sense, SOrry. Good luck to all the ladies with upcoming BA and also a speedy recovery to the ones with recent BA.

Just added a few more pics.

Thanks so much for all the in-depth info! I hadn't even given thought to preparing my house and making sure to eat bunches of fiber the week before. I will definitely follow your water tips and make things I need readily accessible.
