Forgot to post my one week post-op pic so here it is. Don't mind the bloat but just wanted to give you a proportion body shot.

Now let's talk about recovery.
Idk about you ladies but it's been a lot harder than I thought it would be. The first week was rough. I probably slept most of the first couple of days bc of all the meds but sleeping from there on out has sucked! I'm a side sleeper so sleeping on my back is super uncomfortable. I bought a 12 inch wedge pillow from Amazon which helped quite a bit but don't think I've gotten a good nights rest since day of surgery. And omg, the "morning boob" struggle is real!! So painful I've cried. I'm not sure whether being right handed has anything to do with my right boob hurting more but I'll get sharp shooting pain from time to time and right arm has gone numb in mornings too. Had my one week check up and nurse explained that it could just be leftover fluid that's irritating the nerves in my arm since my incision was thru the armpit. Said nothing to be alarmed about. Hope she's right. Everything is just so tight right now and I know I need to be patient but I'm just ready for the pain to go away and for these new girls to feel like a part of me. Oh, and to finally get a good nights rest. ;)

They are so pretty! The first month is crazy crazy boob time. Those zingers are going to keep happening for a while. I bought a V shaped pillow (it's kind of like a nursing pillow) that I used under my boobs and rested my arms on while sleeping that helped me sleep on my back in a somewhat sitting up position. It helped to keep me from trying to roll over in my sleep. Your body is awesome even when you are bloated. Are you using any bio oil on your boobs? It really helps keep the stretch marks away when your skin is really tight. It also smells awesome and is therapeutic to rub in to your new pretty boobes. Happy recovery!

Arrived to surgery center at 930am yesterday, saw my PS at 11:15am and was home by 1:30pm. Surpringly I felt very calm the entire morning. Wasn't really nervous until I laid down on the surgical bed but within seconds, I was knocked out. I was still pretty out of it when I woke up but my sister drove me home and I basically slept the whole day/night. Woke up a few times to use the restroom, eat, and take some meds but didn't really have an appetite. I did manage to take a picture of day one though. Super high, far apart, and tight but think it will settle in nicely.

I've been driving myself crazy on size. Ive initially wanted no more than 350cc and only moderate profile. now PS suggested 385cc mod + and i can't seem to make up my mind on if i should go slightly bigger. I've been stalking this site for months and there are so many ladies that talk about boob greed and i definitely don't want to wish i would've gone bigger after surgery. I've tried the rice test and the 415 seem slightly too big but everyone says you lose 20-30cc under the muscle. Is that really true? Do you see my dilemma here ladies? Would love to hear everyones opinions.

Wow your surgery is coming up quick! I have been told and read many times that you do lose some ccs when they go under the muscle. You have to remember that they are going under your existing tissue and being pushed down a bit by them so they will be a bit smaller than the sizers you try on in the clinic. The nurse at my clinic says that most women wish they had gone bigger. If it's a small about of ccs, I don't think it would make a huge difference
