32 Years Old, 5'5", 115lbs, Breastfed 2 kids. 350ccs Mentor memory gel unders - New Brunswick, NJ

Pre-pregnancy, I was a 32C. During pregnancy, I went up to a 36D. I am currently a deflated 32A.

I am so sick of not fitting into my clothes properly. I am so self-conscious. When I wear dresses, there is just so much extra fabric flapping around.

Surgery is tomorrow! I have been taking a multivitamin (prenatals I still had at home). I am most concerned about recovery. I have 2 young kids. I keep hearing that recovery is not so bad, and that's it much better than it used to be. I sure hope so!

I am getting Mentor memory gel, smooth round, MP. Either 300, 325, or 350ccs.

I really could go on and on about my journey, but I have a lot of house prep to do today!

24 hours to go! Wish me luck!

Here are some before pics. If they look weird, it's because I edited out identifying birthmarks.

Just got a call from the hospital that the surgery was pushed a few hours earlier. Now I'm just freaking out about everything I have to do in the morning with the kids. Ah! At least I won't be as hungry for so long :-)

I had my surgery yesterday. Went with 350ccs under the muscle. Surgery started later than it was supposed to, so I was in the waiting room for 1.5 hrs! The anticipation was killing me.

They finally took me back, and put in the IV and I spoke to the anesthesiologist. He put a scopolamine patch behind my ear to help with PONV (which I've had trouble with in the past). I had never even known that was an option.

PS came in, and drew on me, we talked a little bit. A few minutes later, I was in the OR. I was fascinated by all the amazing machines in there. They set me up on the bed. Then the anesthesiologist told me was going to give something to relax, and that I'd be sleeping in 30 seconds. I don't think it even took 3 seconds to kick in! I was out!

I woke up (procedure was 1.5hrs) in recovery room 1. I was shivering for about an hour. The nurse gave me a heated blanket, and something glorious that blew warm air on my legs. She also said the shivering was a normal reaction to anesthesia, and could be my body's way of working it out. After an hour, I was moved to recovery room 2, where my mom joined me (hubby was on school pick up duty). The nurses gave me water, ginger ale, and 3 packets of graham crackers. They were yummy bc I was so hungry.

I was in a good amount of pain, so the nurse gave me a Percocet. Once that kicked in, I was feeling much better, haha. My PS's nurse came in and did the reveal! She was so sweet. She took off my surgical bra and showed me what they looked like with her iPhone (used as a mirror). I went home, and ate the chicken soup I had made earlier that morning.

I was pretty much fine the rest of the day. I hung out on the couch, just watching some tv. After the Percocet wore off, I took some Tylenol. I didn't need any Vicodin.

I ate a normal dinner (leftovers from night before). Chatted with my mom and hubby, and went to bed.

I just can't believe how ok I'm doing! Sure, I'm in pain, but nothing mind blowing. I'm able to walk around and do whatever. I hope I won't need any Vicodin today. I doubt it, since I'm hoping the pain just gets better as the days go. I did take 2 stool softeners last night. I'm not messing around with constipation, haha.

The hardest part so far, is not being able to hold/snuggle my kids, and getting up out of bed to pee. I feel like a turtle on its back trying to get up! I'm sleeping elevated, but it is just hard to get up.
