I Want Back What God Gave Me and Mother Nature Stole from Me!!

Whewww. Made it to one week. Moving around well, doing most normal household activities, athough utilizing caution when I get something out of the top cabinet or use my arms to lift my body up. But truthfully felt I could a have returned to work on postoperative day 4. I actually took leave and extended vacation time for a week to hang out at home d/t lifting at my job. Getting anxious and thoughts that I could start back working out of course no chest, heavy lifting or high impact but something little and easy. I see PS tomorrow, so that is my main question for him.

I did start applying scar cream on day 5 to incisions. Continuing to do massages. I feel they are fluffing and slightly down. I am hopes no more down ???? but some more fluff.

Wheeee. Laying down or getting back up was the hardest part/ most painful until today, it's is much better today.

Postoperative instructions :
Keflex 750mg (antibotic) twice daily postoperative day 1-3. It's a pretty high dose, so I am taking probotoic's also.

Bandage which is triple antibiotic cream and non adhesive dressing to incisions twice daily day 1-3.

Massage breast 3-4 times daily, and raise arms over head multiple times a day.

I am still wearing underwire 24/7, I had no problems sleeping in it. I am always readjusting myself, as PS said to pull the ladies and my nipples up to where I want them set. When moving around and durning massaging you can hear a slouching sounds (similar to belly grawling). It's fluid and air moving around and decreasing the edema.

I am still ice packing occasionally as it reliefs pressure for me. I bought these cute little circular ones. Right now I'm utilizing mutiple of them. I took pain pill last night but today I am going to utilize NSAID instead.

Day of surgery I cleaned the house and did dishes all be of leaving. Had my meds, and water at bedside for when I returned home. My PS does intraop sizing based on your desire size and goal pics that I bought in. I did bring in to small and to large pics also.
I got 375 silicone under muscle. He said 400 was to large for me and my desires.

After surgery came home and slept all evening and night. FYI: take pain pills with you for the ride home. I am sure my hubs hit every road construction and pot hole!! Took pain pill on the dot when they where ordered, along with stool softner.

I was slightly nervous that they appear to large, of course hubs doesn't think so. I know they are swelling also. PS put me in a VS underwire bra (surprised). It's very nice!! Plus the nurse gave me a boutique of flowers at discharge.

Post open day 1: going well, no concerns from PS, he did recommend me to not use the upper band any more if I want them to stay high. I want them high as possible d/t not getting a lift. Also continue with underwire but not a pushup bra as much as I can, he did give me sleeping sportsbra for at night also. They showed me some light massages to do to ensure no capsular contractor. I go back in one week.
