:) At the most basic level, pillows (lots of 'em)....water (lots).....ice packs.....and your pain med prescriptions.
Those will get you through the first week smoothly. Dr. O's anesthesiologist is a magician btw. Once she starts injecting her potion into your IV rest assured you're about to be on the flip side. lol Once you see her do that they'll roll you into the OR, you'll slide onto the table and then woosh.....OUT! I don't even remember laying my head down! So excited for you. Keep us updated. :)

Sleep with two pillows at your sides! That way you can elevate your arms. It will help with the soreness and tight feeling in the breasts! I had to do this for the first 4-5 days. It seems scary, but it's really not bad at all. Your breasts will most likely be numb, so all you will feel for the first week or two is a little soreness in your muscles and tightness in your breasts from the swelling and implants. Your PS should give you muscle relaxers and pain meds that will help that. Just make sure to be proactive with your meds to avoid discomfort. After a while, you will start to feel your incisions, but it's not that bad. The pain is like a 2 out of 10. And I'm a baby when it comes to pain.
A list of stuff to get:
Huge water cup with screw on lid and straw
Front zip sports bras
Stool Softener
Fiber powder
Healthy foods! Lots of lean protein and fiber, and avoid sugar and sodium.
Ace bandages or a bandeau to help your implants drop (but first, ask your PS if he feels this would be ok for you).
Back scratcher! you wont be able to reach your back for a minute lol.
A grabber, you won't be able to stretch your arms out too far to grab things.
Get out any button up/zip up shirts or robes that you have, because pulling on and off regular shirts will be hard for the first week.
Arnica tablets! This will help lots with any swelling and bruising and you can find it at a health food place for under ten bucks. You can also find arnica lotion for under five.
Your PS should provide you with the rest, like medical tape or steri strips, alcohol pads to clean your drain, peroxide and ointment for your drain site, etc.
You will get pain meds and muscle relaxers. They will help with any soreness and tightness. And make sure to keep up with the stool softeners and fiber. TMI, but trust me on that one lol.
Anyways that is all I can think of. You will do fine and I think you'll be surprised at how much easier recovery is than you would think. It was for me anyways (well, the lift and implant part...I also had a bunch of other stuff done and that part of it was more difficult.)

Oh and don't freak out if your boobs look a little funky after surgery. It takes a while to see the true results. I'm 2 weeks post op, and they still look weird. My PS says the implants need to drop, the swelling needs to go down, the muscles and skin need to relax, etc. Apparently it takes 2-3 months to see final results in most people. :) Good luck!

I am so excited for you! I am doing a BA and a donut lift on July 30th! Good luck!!!!

Good luck! Keep us posted on how everything goes. I'm still in the process of selecting my surgeon so I'm curious to see your PSs work.
