Day 2 and 3 of Post-Op

Alright so learning this program haha.
Job interview yesterday went great! Nailed it!!!
As for healing, I am actually feeling great. On day two I started taking Ibuprofen 800mg three times per day and was able to lower the amount of Percocet I was intaking. Now I'm on day three and I am only taking the Percocet at night. I have lessened the amount of time that I am icing as the swelling seems to be pretty low. I am so glad that I have been blessed enough to have time off between my surgery and starting work; I have been sleeping so much! I guess that's my bodies way of slowing me down!
My arm movements are still pretty restricted but if I move slowly then I find I am not too limited in what I can do. I know its only day 3 but I cannot wait for my boobs to drop and fluff! Trying to tell myself to be patient! haha
On another positive note I was finally able to void today! I haven't gone number 2 since the day of surgery so this was awesome! Opioids always cause me constipation but this was a little longer then normal; I made sure to start eating a lot of fruit and then I started drinking pickle juice. VOILA!

It's a long process give it lots of time...like a year for final results. I didn't realize how long it takes. I'm still waiting and it's been over 6 weeks. But everyday I love them a little more and then there's no change, no change and then I just deal lol. Congrats!

1 Day Post-Op
I met with Dr. Peterson for follow-up. So far I'm doing okay...I tried taking only half a Percocet but it wasn't cutting it so I started taking a full size tablet. Tomorrow Dr. Peterson said I can start taking Ibuprofen which will be great!!! I have some minor bruising around the incision site but other then that it's going alright! I have a job interview tomorrow so hopefully I am feeling good!!! I am surprised at how good recovery is going so far. I sleep when I need to which has been nice.

Day of treatment
Day Of!
Well I am at home recovering; my husband has been absolutely fantastic so far. I made sure to have lots of fruit on hand, yogurt, 7-up, etc. Definitely feel the tightness in my chest, but I have been up and walking around just a little bit. Obviously I have local anesthetic still that's helping with the pain, but overall I am feeling great. I ended up going with 450 cc Natrelle Saline solution on the right filled to 505 cc's and then on the left I went with 425 filled to about 4465 cc's.
My husband keeps commenting that I look like a body builder since everything is high and tight. Now to just relax and watch some tv in between naps!

So happy for you! You're the same height and weight as me, so thanks for sharing! I'm going with mentor shaped unders, but not sure of cc's yet. I'm thinking around 450. I'm a 36a now. Happy recovery! Please continue to post pics!

That's about where I was size wise, maybe a little bit bigger. I will definitely keep you posted. Are you scheduled for surgery?
October 5, 2016
Yes, surgery is Oct 27th. My pre op is the 21st. I've had conflicting advice too about over or under muscle. I'm very active so some have said to go over. But I know under is more natural looking and can hide the implant more. I just want to get the pre op done so I have all the answers! How are you feeling? Nauseous at all?
October 5, 2016
Awesome!!! I talked with my surgeon about under vs. over for going to the gym after I'm healed. He said I would be fine as long as I limit my excercises that deal with the pectoral muscles such as push ups. I HATE push ups so that was fine with me haha. I have another really active friend and she did hers under the muscle as well and hasn't seemed to effect her much.
I understand about pre-op! I made my appointment in July and it was killing me waiting for it.
I'm feeling pretty good actually; I have severe nausea and vomiting after anesthesia. So I let the anesthesiologist know and he made sure to give me zofran throughout the procedure and then again prior to me waking up. They also sent me home with Zofran at home in case I needed it.
My surgeon doesn't really have a rule of thumb for icing but I would recommend icing as much as possible the first day to help with swelling. I find my boobs feel better with the ice on them anyways! Have a lot of them on hand; my husband and I made ours with alcohol and water in a zip lock back. They have been FABULOUS!!!

Ok, thanks for the advice with the icing. I need to start preparing for post surgery. Happy to hear your friend has hers under too and hasn't had trouble. I'm weird and actually like pushups lol. So I'll be bummed if I can't do them anymore. I'll talk to him about over vs under for me. Hope you're feeling well today!
October 5, 2016
Congrats! You look great!
October 8, 2016
No I totally understand about wearing push-ups! That's all I have worn for years!!! Another thing I would look into is some homeopathic remedies to help with healing post-op. I went to Eden Know's Implants to see what her kit was composed of and then compiled my own kit from there.

How are you feeling now? I'm schedule tomorrow morning!
October 11, 2016
I'm actually feeling REALLY good! I've been taking NSAID's during the week and then at night I will take a pain killer to help me sleep better. I am also sleeping in bed, slightly propped up. All in all though I am feeling fantastic! Good luck tomorrow, you are going to do fantastic!!!
It seems like just about everyone chooses silicone, but no matter what the experts say
it still kind of scares me. Why did you choose saline?
I am very curious what to expect if I went with saline instead of silicone. I have seen a bunch of silicone videos and some of the results are really natural looking/moving.
Would you please post some videos of your progress along the way showing how soft/firm they are and how naturally they bounce, jiggle, etc.?
