EEEEEEEK! Only two more weeks and I will no longer look like a 12 year old boy!!!! I am a 33 year old Momma to two wonderful kiddo's ages 4 and 6. I am 5'7" 135lbs, addicted to Hot yoga, running and lifting weights. In the last couple years I have worked very hard to get my pre-baby body back, and I have succeeded, minus the boobs......well, I never really had those to begin with, HA! I am super excited and nervous about the procedure. I have had two C-sections, so I am not so much worried about the pain, but I am worried about being put under anestesia. I am also worried about not being able to work out for 3 weeks. I work out or run 5-6 days a week for the past two years, so taking so much time off freaks me out, but it will be worth it in the long run. For those of you who are runners, how is it running with boobs?? I could seriously probably run right now without a sports bra and be fine, so I am nervous about how this is going to affect my running. I am not going to go to big. I am a small A now, and I am thinking about 335cc's silicone subfascial. I am hoping this will make me a C-ish?!?! I have my pre-op appointment on Tuesday to make the final decisions!! Also, have any of you taken Dilaudid for pain?!?! It looks like that is what the Dr. is going to give me, and I am kind of nervous about taking something I have never had before. Oh my gosh, I cannot believe only two more weeks!!!!!

Had my pre-op this week!!! So excited! Decided for sure on the 339 cc's, I think the size will be good on my frame. Got my meds and all the post op instructions. One thing I noticed is that it doesnt say anything about icing?? I am going to have to call my PS and see what they suggest. Are you supposed to ice? Also what is Arnica? I have read some posts about people taking it......

Thank you for sharing on RealSelf! Speaking of Mother's Day, do you have help with the kiddos during your recovery? Be sure to bring some pictures of breasts that you would like to look like to your pre op. Let us know how the appt goes!

Yes, thank you, I do have help with my kiddo's. My hubby will be home for 4 days, then they will go to my parents for the weekend so I can take it easy. I showed my PS pictures durning my initial consult, but not at the pre-op.....uh oh, no I am worried he doesnt know exactly what shape....I will have to bring them in again on operation day!!!

Don't worry about your "wish photos" if you've already shown them to your PS. You can always bring them on the day of surgery as a back-up. Glad to hear you have some help lined up for your recovery!

Good Luck to you!! Your surgery is a week before mine and we are almost exactly the same as far as size as well as the similarity in CCs choice. I am excited for you and looking forward to you sharing your experience as well as your results:)

Arnica is a homeopathic supplement meant to help prevent bruising. It is more recommended in the case of facelifts (as in my case). From what I've seen, there is minimal bruising with BA so if you aren't really prone to it, don't waste your money. PS, only nine sleeps for us both!!!! Eeeeeee!!!!

Okay good! I am trying not to count the sleeps, it will make me to anxious! HA! Next week is going to fly by!!!!!

Man I hope so! I'm driving my husband nuts with the countdown! Although he did tell me that now that we're into single digits, I can start using hours! Lol!

Good luck fellow runner! I'm a week behind you on the surgery date and want to follow your progress.

So happy!

I am on the other side!!! YAYYYY! The surgery went well, piece of cake! The worst part for me was my surgery was at 1pm, so I couldn't have anything to eat or drink all morning. When I woke up from surgery I just wanted a big glass of water! After my surgery I had a hard time staying awake, I pretty much ate dinner and dozed off and on for the rest of the night. I am a back sleeper, so sleeping wasn't an issue. I stayed on top of my pain meds every 4 hours for the first 2 days, but today on post op day 3 I am stretching it to just over 6 and I am feeling pretty good. I got to see my "girls" for the first time today and I am so pleased! I couldn't be happier with my results. My left one is a tad higher and more swollen than the right, but I am sure that will change. So so so happy!!!! I have to say the entire process has been pretty easy!!!
