Am I dreaming... I have boobs!!!!
Hi ladies!!! So here I am, one day post op!!
After waking up under anaesthetic, the first thing I remember is talking non-stop to the nurses! I wasn't in any pain at all, just experienced numbness of both breasts... What I did notice is that my left was was a lot more swollen than the right... But apparently this is normal?! MY lefty was always the slightly smaller one so I imagine my surgeon struggled a little with shoving a 420cc implant over my muscle!! I had drains in both of my breasts for four hours post op, and oh my was the sensation (and sound!!) strange when they removed them...
I tried sleeping on the way home but couldn't keep my eyes away from my breasts - I felt like I was perving on myself ;-). As soon as we reached the boudoir, my fiancé was more tired than me and actually went to sleep before I did - anyone would think that her just had HIS boobies done! But I was too busy looking at them in the mirror and taking some photos.... I also put some frozen veg on my lefty in hope that it would reduce the swelling a little!
So one day post op... How am I feeling? Absolutely fine!!! I do feel quite numb and bit by bit I'm learning which way I can turn and which way I can't. I still haven't felt any pain though... Touch wood...
Unfortunately for me, my sister, who was going to help me out for 3 days, had to go on an all day course today, and my fiancé couldn't get the time off work at such short notice... So from 10am until 3.30pm I was with my almost 3 year old toddler... ALONE! To be honest, it wasn't bad at all. I told him that I was in a little pain and he totally understood and tucked me up in my duvet and was very gentle with me! I extended my arm and rested a cushion on it so that he could still cuddle with me and we ended up sleeping for 1.5 hours! My mom then came and took him out after she finished work so I can now relax a little!! My sister will be able to help out for the next few days though and then I'm back to work on Thursday! I only work part time, Thurdays and Fridays and I'm a hospital administrator, so I can chose to focus on tasks which don't involve a lot of movement!
I took my first lot of antibiotics yesterday, and these are to be taken twice a day. However, I haven't yet taken my pain killers which are a blend of codeine and paracetamol. Is this wise? I haven't yet felt any pain and I kind of don't want to experience the side effects of nausea and constipation unless needed...
My breasts feel so strange at the moment. They're warm to the touch and I can feel (and hear at times) the excess liquid squirming around... I just can't wait until they settle and start to feel normal... I want a cleavage!!!!!

Pre-Op pics, goodbye baby boobies!
Surgery day!!!!!
I haven't updated for a while because I've been so busy with the new job etc but I've been following a few stories...
To quickly update, I had my pre-op on the 26th and brought a load of total support bras (the type my grandmother wpuld wear -see pics!). I was told to bring 3 sizes with me so that the nurse can fit the best one on the day... She took my BP and some bloods - I'm normally not squeamish but it took a lot of prodding and poking to find the vein!!!
So here I am!!! Sitting in the ward with my fiancé. His mum took our little one yesterday night and will look after him today... The receptionist and nurse were to very friendly and welcoming which is nice because I feel quite settled. I had to change into these awful knickers and gown but I have own slippers and robes.
The anesthetist was a little blunt but she was straight to the point about what to expect.
I am sooo happy because I'm the first patient to be seen by my surgeon - I'm a day case so the sooner the better so I can enjoy these new babies and go home!
Is it okay not to feel nervous? I feel 100% calm and ready... Probably because this op is a long time coming!!! I'm just so so hungry right now... I could do with some naughty comforting food!
