42 Years Old, Nursed 2 Kids, Want my Natural Fullness Back Got Mentor 425 cc cohesive gel - Saint Louis, MO

I finally snapped aome updates pics yesterday when I realized I've hit the four week mark! It's hard to take a selfie without my arm covering one boob! I'm super happy with them. They're finally settling down a little and I am back to most of my old activities except for pilates. My doc said I could do anything waist down but I've been lazy. I'll start again on Monday. I can sleep on my side but it feels weird so I haven't yet. I still feel like I have a lot of "side boob" so I hope that settles down some more.

Not much to report today. Last night was much better sleeping. I took the Valium and Motrin and only got up once to take more Motrin. This morning after my shower I can tell my left side is still more swollen than the right but I'm not too worried. I'm going to try to take it easy today, I feel exhausted if I try to do too much like Laundry or shopping. Still loving the new boobs! Can't wait til they settle into their final look so I can go bra shopping. I'm still wearing the same nude softie bra my doc recommended (I bought 2) and I can't even feel them so that's nice. Donating a giant pile of my old bras to charity!

Well, the surgery went really well, very quick and relatively panfry. I did ask for nausea meds as well as a scopolamine patch for seasickness. I took the patch off last night, though, because I felt fine and it as making me too sleepy.

Sleeping the first night was a little tough. I took my Percocet and valium at 9:30 but woke up at 12:30 with more pain. So I was able to take 2 Advil and sleep again until 3:00, then took the Percocet/Valium combo. I propped my pillows up and luckily I'm ok sleeping on my back.

The worst pain came when I had to swing my feet off the bed and sit up! I'm single so that was tough, but once I was up, it was OK. I went downstairs and got some potato chips to eat with my percocet so I didn't get nauseated or throw up. I can honestly say I've never eaten potato chips in my bed before, and certainly never at 3 am!

This morning I was able to shower and dress normally. My doc wants me to do all my regular things - she said move your arms, do your hair, don't try to tuck in and hold yourself tight. So I've been doing that, and I feel fine.

Today I'm only taking Advil and Tylenol for the pain and so far I'm fine. I already love my new breasts!! I know they're swollen and high, but they already look super great. If they can get better than this, then I'm totally sold on it. I can drive today but I haven't wanted to, yet. I'm still a little sleepy so I'll probably just hang around the house and watch daytime TV. yay!
