Day 3 post op!

So something I realized that I forgot to mention in the last post was that I didn't have to get drains! Yay! Very excited about that! Eating has never been an issue with me but these past few days it's been hard. I don't eat as much as I use to but just enough to take meds. I'm try a replace my pain killers that were prescribed to me for Tylenol extra strength to see if it will kinda work that same. It's just the pain killers make me drowsy and I'd rather take them at night vs all day. I'm not really in pain but it can be uncomfortable here and there with the bra and the incisions. I'm still getting the hot flashes every now and then. But for the most part I'm ok. I lost 10 lbs. I don't know if that was all Boobie weight but I feel smaller as well like my thighs and arms and stomach... Or I could just be crazy! I'm a little smaller than what I thought but I'm still happy! Can't wait for the swelling to go down so I can actually see my new shape!

You look great! I Am on the countdown. 23 days!
Thanx! Those 23 days are going to go by so fast! Just make sure you get everything done around the house and get everything you need from the store. So they way you can just relax after surgery!
How does the doctor determine if you'll need drains or not?
Honestly I'm not sure.... I guess it depends on how much your bleeding. I will ask at my next appt and let you know
Thanks!
They look awesome!!!!
Thanks!!!!!!!
They look great. I'm also on count down for next month. What do I need to buy before surgery do you suggest? What type of sports bras?
You look wonderful. How are your stitches doing? Are they itchy?

Day 1 post op!

Sorry that I am just now getting back to you guys, I have been sleeping a lot. Ok first things first, everything went great!!!!! The procedure was fast, like it only took about an hour! I don't remember much but I wasn't in a lot of pain just a really bad burning sensation. Nothing that I couldn't handle. I slept most of yesterday so everything was a blur I only woke up to eat and take pain killers. Sleeping wasn't bad either because I was surrounded with pillows. The only thing was one min I was hot the next I was cold... It was weird. I was able to get out of bed on my own with out help to go the bathroom this morning. I wanted to post pics of the new boobies once I got out the shower so you guys can see but maybe later because I'm a little tired. Sooooo pics will be posted soon! Thank you guys for your supporting comments I really appreciate them all!!!!

Yay!!! You're back! Please just REST, and know you're in good hands. Few tips: take your time, don't overdo it (even if you feel okay), I've had my first shower today (2 day po), was pretty intense to see the girls without any covering, even though they're beautiful! We're going through an emotional AND physical recovery period. I wish you all the best, lots of blessings and peace. Let me know if there's anything I can do :-)
OMG! I feel like I've been sleeping beauty for the past few days! My body Is starting to feel normal again. But for the most part I've been taking it easy! I'm gonna post pics today. Thank you so much for your support!!! We did it!!!!!!
Yeah! So happy you're starting to feel normal again, that's nice, huh? :-) I'm off my pain meds today, day 4. I'm feeling good and still pretty tired, so taking it easy. So happy for you! Can't wait to see your results (but take your time:))! (Just uploaded mine)
