Update: Post-op day 4

Sorry I've been slacking with the updates! I've been really trying to rest as much as I can, plus I had a whole day of traveling yesterday which completely wore me out! The good news, or the TMI news, I had a BM today! Finally! It wasn't anything spectacular, but I'm just glad my BM are starting to get back to normal! I've posted two new pictures! The first one is from my post-op appointment which was Friday, and the newest one is today in my bathroom! I absolutely love them! They are changing everyday, and everyday I fall more in love with them! I'm glad I chose the size I did, because I think after all my D&F they will be the perfect size! It's crazy cause they don't look nearly as big as I thought they would! I was freaking out the morning of surgery wondering if I should go smaller! I'm glad I didn't! They look bigger without the surgical bra on too! I can't wait for new swimming suits! Yes! :) I've slowly been getting off the pain meds. I didn't take any last night, and slept comfortable throughout the night. I think I've been really lucky cause I haven't had any problems sleeping through the night! I've gotten really used to sleeping on my back too! I haven't had any bruising and my incisions look great! I seriously couldn't be happier with my results so far and I know that it just gets better! I've had constant ice on them, just in a ziplock baggy wrapped in a pillow case and I think it's helped so much with the swelling! The pain is slowly starting to subside! I was originally supposed to go back to work Monday, but I'm going to wait til Wednesday and that will be a week post-op and even then I'm a little hesitant! Luckily my managers have been so understanding with my whole situation! How are all my other boobie recovery friends doing?!!

So post op day 2 already seems to be better than yesterday! Yesterday was tough! I felt like I couldn't take enough pain meds to help! I've been sitting in my recliner this whole time only getting up to use the bathroom. Still haven't had a BM, but hopefully today! I've had my cup of coffee and I drank a glass of prune juice so hopefully it'll help! I am having my post-op appointment later this afternoon! I can't wait to see them! I'll update again after I get back from my appointment. Hope all my recovery buddies are doing okay today! :)

So I've made it through most of post-op day one! I feel like I have a 10 pound plate just chillin on my chest. I'm pretty sore too! I've been taking my pain meds every 3 1/2 or 4 hours! I've been trying to just take it super easy!! I haven't gotten out of my recliner except to go pee. Otherwise I'm doin' okay. Trying really hard to just take it easy so I don't overdue it! Going to try and rest some more! I'll try and update tomorrow. :)
