Love my boobies!

I am two weeks post-op tomorrow and feel absolutely outstanding! For anybody out there not sure, I just have to let you know that this has been the best thing ever. If you were not happy with your implants than I encourage you to explant. I just cannot explain the awesomeness of it all. I rode my horse over the weekend and while a little sore, it felt fantastic to have bouncing boobies that were a part of me. It is a totally different feeling. I also ran a little the other day from the barn to the house and loved my free and bouncing breasts. They have finally quit itching and just keep getting better and better everyday. My doctor was never specific about bras so I went by the advice on this website. I used a compression type bra for the first week during the day. At night, I sleep with a cami type bra which is very comfortable and non-binding - these are the same ones I wore with my implants. Today I wore my first underwire push-up bra and loved it. I bought 2 - 34B bras with some padding and love them. During the first week I looked extremely flat because my boobs were being compressed. However, I did not care one bit - I was happy to be me and all me. After the first week, I went to my regular sports bras that I wore with my implants. Surprisingly, my boobs looked very nice in them! I thank God once again and love you all for helping me get there.

Well, I do not want to go against my husband's wishes but I have a need to share my photos. I did not ask him so I'm not really sure if he would have said yes or no. BUT, the pictures are what inspired me and the stories that went with them are what encouraged me. I want to help others that are out there contemplating an explant. I want to pay it forward! I love my little boobies and I feel so good to be me. Just a funny side note - This is something I never discussed with my dad - always went through mom. My dad is now 84 years old and in ill health. I told my mom to tell him because I know he'd be happy to know about it. Well, he called me yesterday and said "So, you got your old boobs back? It's a good thing, they didn't give them to someone else!" And YES, I'm so thrilled I got my old boobs back!

I just want to thank each one of you who have commented and emailed me, all the advice, support, and well wishes and prayers. Each one of you have made it possible for me to travel this journey full circle back to being who God intended me to be. I know that there are many who are very happy with their BAs and I am happy for them. I now know though that there are many who are NOT happy (as I was) and I am praying for you to make the right decision and have your "explant!" I just feel so GREAT! I can't wait for my 1 week post op to get my stitches out. I will be posting as time goes by to see if they "fluff" any. I love my boobies! I love my explant booby sisters! Thank you!

Ho Tiny! Even though most of us feel pretty reluctant sharing our personal photos, we have all gotten so much support and inspiration from the participating women on this site. It becomes difficult NOT to post them. We all have received "the gift" and end up feeling like we need to give back "the gift" so that other women who follow have more stories to read. Its a great thing! Thanks for sharing! You have lots to be proud of! Its a HUGE thing, to take this step, get past the fear, and take action! And you did it!!! You are looking awesome already, and there will definitely be improvements over the next weeks and months. And the best thing is, that your happy and free of all the negative aspects that the implants brought into your life! xoxox

I just love what you have to say. It is so true - this "gift" - it is just too important not to share. We want others to join us so that they can also feel the joy & freedom obtained by getting rid of their implants. ;)

Thanks for sharing! You look great and things just get better from here!
August 24, 2013
Thank you & thanks for the encouragement. I'm looking forward to 1 month post-op, 3 month post-op, 6 month post-op, & the 1 year mark!

Congratulations Tiny R! You look amazin and thanks for the photos. I too was hesitant about posting but it was all the before and after images from others that gave me the courage to go through with explanting.
I too am amazed at how good I feel. No drains either but I have to keep the big bandages on through the week. I am already loving how the top of my pajamas looks so I can't wait to wear clothes with my new svelte chest.

Thank you! I really was expecting worse but I am quite happy as is. They're a little droopy & flat on top but I'm hoping for some of that "fluffing" everyone talks about. I agree - I love & am proud of how I look in my clothes. I've look like I lost weight - at least a couple pounds! I csnt wait to shop for new bras & cute little tops like I used to wear years ago!
August 23, 2013
You look GREAT!!! Congratulations! I can't wait to join you!
August 24, 2013
Thank you! It is so wonderful now being on the other side. You will join us soon and you will be euphoric - I promise! I felt the same way - couldn't get it done quickly enough! Prayers & best wishes for your upcoming explant.

Post op day 1
tinyreindeerAugust 22, 2013
Felt good this morning but not much energy so opted to stay home. Good thing I did because almost 24 hours post op I got nauseated. I was vomiting from 9:30 to 1:30. I blame myself because I did not fill the RX for the nausea medicine. I felt so good yesterday - I didn't think I was going to get sick today. So I had to go get my meds and now I'm feeling much better. So learn from me - take your nausea medicine before you feel like crap! On a good note - I'm still happy with my boobs. I took off the tape bandage today and still have like plastic wrap over the nipples. Thanks to all who shared their pics, I was better prepared for how they look. I know they'll get better with time. I'm wearing a front hook sports bra from Wal Mart and it feels great.

Oh goodness, I have been told that after operations it is best to be proactive with pain meds, guess it is true with anti nausea meds too. Hope you are resting well now. Vomiting is the worse!
August 23, 2013
I am so sorry you were nauseated! I will now definitely listen and take all medication. You took one for the team and we will try to learn from your experience. I have to hope that the worst is now over and every day you will make huge strides. Here's hoping you have a great tomorrow!
