The good: steri strips came off - yay! And my swelling has gone down a lot since my last post. I went out in public with no bra which is amazing, but due to the exaggerated firmness and lift that will gradually taper off.
Today I was feeling more sore than I have recently, then I tried on some of the tops I'd been hoping would fit and they're still no-go's. :( I find myself disappointed that we weren't able to go smaller. I haven't been out to try on bras for size, but I'm still measuring a solid DD and don't think I'll end up less than a D cup when all's said and done. Much better than my G/H from before, but still bigger than I was hoping for. That said, my PS told me up front that he'd try for a C but that he wasn't sure he could safely take me smaller than a D.
And... I'm probably just in a funk and will pull out of it soon. Enjoying my pity party now, though. Ha! Maybe I'll go a bit smaller if I can lose the rest of the weight I need to lose. I'm down 45 pounds from two years ago and have about 20 left to go.

Update for yesterday (4 days post)

Right side feeling very swollen and sore yesterday so went in to see PS who (quite painfully) used a needle to withdraw excess bloody fluid. It did feel better this morning, so that's a positive. I'm making a bigger effort to rest. I've felt really pretty good and probably tried to do too much. Posting some pics from yesterday (mirror image). You can see how very swollen and bruised the right side is. Lefty looks pretty good, and PS says all incisions are looking good.

I'm very swollen and bruised, but feel pretty darn good. I still can't believe that I finally did it! Can't wait for healing and settling.

Congratulations! I haven't worked up the courage to put pics of myself up, or even to take pics. It is so helpful to see them on others pages, I suppose I should. I'm just under 5ft myself, though I usually just round up that fraction of an inch and say 5ft. It was helpful to see how it's working out for someone with a similar body type. PIctures of me at your age would have been very similar, though now I'm 52, even bigger and more saggy. I look forward to hearing more about your recovery, as it happens.
