Thought I'd be back to work by now. Frustrated with how slow my recovery has been. Was not expecting this at all. Really tired of sleeping on my back already. I think my back is more sore than anything else at this point. My husband helped me bathe last night. I feel so helpless. I've never had to depend on anyone else this much in my whole life even after having 2 c-sections. I keep telling myself that the results will be worth it but it's pretty hard I'm not going to lie. I should have been back to work yesterday. With the bandages the way they are there is no way I could hide this from my boss. I'm afraid I went to large cause I'm having difficulty even putting my arms by my sides. I know everything is still swollen and high but I'm still worried. This compression bra that they put on me is so tight it's driving me crazy!!! Hopefully after the bandages come off Thursday I can go buy the Victoria secret sports bra. Hopefully my next update will be much better.

Really...really sore and my chest feels so heavy. Trying to transition off the harder pain meds to the T3 but I'm finding it quite hard. This Velcro band that sits on top of the implants to hold them down is very uncomfortable. My implants feel very large on the sides under my arms. I can't seem to rest my arms flat yet. My implants were moderate profile 420cc overfilled to 500cc. Was hoping to be back to work by Monday but at this rate I really can't see it. No shower till after my post op appt on the 22nd. Going to have to get hubby to give me a sponge bath. Trying to massage my sternum too as they have a blue tube like thing sitting in my cleavage area. Supposed to apply pressure there a few times a day. Would like to post some pics but it's taking all my energy to just type this. Hopefully my next update I'll be feeling a lot better.

You are at the toughest point right now! Get through day 5 and I'm hoping you'll be feeling so much better! I know this is tough, but it should get easier soon!

Today started out pretty bad again. Called the nurse and got a refill on the pain meds. T3's aren't helping at all. My husband picked up an anti- inflammatory took 1 so far not sure if it helped or not. Still feel really tight and retaining lots of fluid. I'm afraid the pain is caused from my pec muscle lifting too much in the cleavage area. My PS has a tube between my boobs that I have to keep pressing on. The last thing I need is a uniboob. That would be awful. The swelling under my arms seems to be subsiding a bit. My hair dresser is going to wash and style my hair in the morning. Can't wait for that. I'm hoping today is a turning point in my recovery.

Well it's really getting close now. Only 2 weeks from this Tuesday. I am some so excited!! After my last consultation I was more confused than ever. My PS thought I should go moderate instead of high profile. I was worried at first but I've decided to go moderate approx 395cc implant overfilled to what he thinks will give me the look I want. Went to Victoria Secret today to try on the awesome sports bra that fastens in the front. I tried a 36DD as well as a 38D and 38DD. They all felt great but I'm going to wait till after my surgery to purchase the correct size. I'd be happy with any of those sizes.
