Just over 1 month post-op!
Finally been sleeping on my side, and morning boob is mostly gone! YES!
I went bra shopping and am a 36B... Boob greed has slowly been going away, although a part of me still wishes I had gone above 350cc. I still want that C cup, but overall I am happy with the results now! They look very natural and not obvious that I had a boob job, although not like it matters because I've basically told all my friends. Nothin' to hide here! :) Also I don't have to buy any new shirts, and I still fit one of my pre-BA swimsuits although it's a little tight. I liked the way my breasts looked before and I like them now, so no harm done!
Armpit scar is slowly starting to heal but still pretty obvious. Can't lift arms above my head yet, but hopefully soon!
And I'm back to my old self emotionally - that was hellish being so depressed. Happy to be back!!! :)

Day 12, liking the boobs, but want my old self back emotionally
I am loving my new boobs more everyday, they look great, the pain is diminishing, and my boob greed went away! I think if I had gone bigger, the natural look I wanted wouldn't be possible. I wanted to keep my same shirts, dresses, etc. and if my parents come to visit me, I want them to have no idea I got a boob job. This was very important to me because my mom had a silicone implant rupture and leak into her armpit and side of her body (she had it in for over 20 years - bad idea). It cost $30K to get it all removed and insurance only paid half. It was a scary time for her health-wise, so they would be devastated and disappointed to know I had gotten silicone implants less than a year after the ordeal. Anyways, I love the new girls and happy I went through with it.
Sadness: writing about this here because I don't have many girlfriends who have had plastic surgery so I'm not sure if I'm alone in this? Did anyone else feel emotional sadness during the time following your BA? If so, how long until you bounced back?
I have no history of depression, and there's not a single time when I can recall feeling sad for a very long period of time. But now, I just don't feel like my happy, positive self at all and it's kinda scaring me. For example: before the surgery, I found out by complete accident that my wonderful boyfriend of 2 years is planning to propose in a few months (he doesn't know that I know). Again, total accident that I found out and it kind of ruins the surprise but at least I don't know when or how he is going to do it. Regardless, I was on Cloud 9 when I found out, so excited and happy and bouncy!!! I didn't tell anyone the secret, and I was constantly daydreaming with excitement in my head.
Well, since surgery I'm pessimistic about it among many other things. Having depressing thoughts like "Would this even work out? Do I even want to marry him? We will likely end up divorced." Before the BA, those thoughts had NEVER CROSSED MY MIND. And I find myself being short and irritated with him. He's amazing and did nothing wrong, and during the week following my surgery he was incredible at taking care of me. I'm not sure if it was the pills I was popping, or the lethargy that comes with being basically bedridden, but my old optimism is gone and I want it back. I have negative feelings towards other things in my life right now too, and I find myself not wanting to talk to my friends/family, not look for a job, no desire to get things done on my to-do list. I'm not in much pain anymore and I'm able to move around, so I wonder why I still feel emotionally depressed.
Any ideas or experiences are greatly appreciated! Thanks.

11 days post - each day better than the last
I was so so so so happy to get that pesky tape cut off!! Things that I missed most during the week of being taped:
1) Showers
2) Yawning a real yawn
I'm looking and feeling good. Morning boob still persists, but I expect that to be gone in a few more weeks.
The incisions in my armpits seem to be healing OK - still have not worn deodorant or shaved since before surgery. Feeling like a hippie :)
The only thing I'm worried about is that my left boob is bigger than my right boob. It was like that to start, but my PS told me he put a slightly larger implant in the Right to even it out (320 CC, vs. 285 CC in the left). Despite that, the Left is still bigger. Really hoping this evens out...
Also, after the tape got cut off, I noticed that there are two incisions under my right armpit. It looks like my PS started with one, and realized it wasn't gonna work and made a larger one higher up. He didn't tell me this, I just notice the second incision recently. When I went in for my post op, he spent maybe 5 minutes with me just to give me instructions on massage. His assistant did everything else, like cutting off the tape, cleaning me up, sizing the compression bra. Things like this make me wish I had done the surgery at home in the US. Unfortunately, I'm not living there or else I would have.
Things I'm looking forward to most:
1) No morning boob
2) Sleeping on my side
3) D&F
1) Showers
