28 Years Old, Breast Augmentation, Day Before Surgery. South Africa, ZA

I suddenly feel very tired, nauseous, extremely cold and feverish this evening, must be a warning sign from my body telling me to slow down. My body is weird like that, usually warns me before something major. I'm freaking out a little right now, but I'm sure I'll be fine. So yeah, the kind ladies on this site were right. I have been pushing myself too hard. Didn't pay this much for these puppies to mess them up, so I will do the good patient thing and recover like I should. Stopping all exercise and absolutely no lifting of any weight except it's a glass of coke or the remote :) for the next month.... Urrggghhh would be tough to follow through but given the way I'm feeling now, I guess I need the rest.

So aurevoir ladies and I shall update you again in a month after my next appointment with my Dr. Happy healing :)

I made it through to day 12 hooray. Had my second post op appointment today and the nurse reckons I am healing well. Stitches ARE FINALLY OUT!!! No hanging piece of string on my chest which is a relief. OOOh but the scars though. Can they just fade already? Anyway, she gave an ointment I have to apply for the next two weeks until all the scabs fall off. Then I can start putting some plaster on the scars to help them fade quicker.

I was quick to tell her how I can now sleep on my side, but conveniently omitted that I have started skipping rope, doing burps, mountain climbers, jump squats, etc, basically I am back to my full workout routine with a few modifications, STILL NO PUSH UPS though. I am not that crazy!!!

Oh, I can sleep on my tummy for a few minutes and have also lost about 5kgs of post-op weight, fully back to my normal weight. I am still a little curious as to how much my implants weigh though. If any of you ladies know, please do let me know :)

I am due to see Dr. Braun in a month but will definitely be back there sooner if something goes wrong. I do not think anything will go wrong though so I guess I'll be seeing him in a month.

I must say though, prior to my surgery, I made a decision I was going to give myself 7days (10days max) to heal and be fully functional again. I can safely say my body co-operated and made my healing so much easier. So from now on, I'll be focusing on my massages, applying my ointment and keep looking forward to these babies dropping into their correct positions.

I so excited this morning.

My boobies finally beginning to feel like a part of me. I didn't wake up with the usual morning boob.

No more headaches, no bloating and I've got my pre-op body back (toned abs and all) only difference is, I've got gorgeous boobs to match ..

I feel 80% OK and it's only been a week. Can't wait to get these stitches out next week. I still cannot lift up my left hand completely, haven't fully regained sensation in my right nipple yet and my boobies still have to drop but so far, I think I'm doing great. I even did a full yoga session this morning, with a few planks shhh don't tell my Dr.

You may be wondering why I can't just lay back, relax and heal... I know it may be too early to get back into the full swing of things but sitting on my arse when I'm not feeling well really makes me worse. Keeping active is the only way I keep my mind at peace and when my mind's not at peace, the rest of my body isn't.

Anyway, hope everyone in post-op is healing nicely and hope those preparing for surgery are not freaking out. It really isn't that bad and the boobs are SO worth it.

Love and light everyone and I will keep you updated
