Day 22

As you can see my left one isnt going down as fast. Im just happy I look more normal just a tad everyday. Im using my chest band to smoosh em down some more. Its good to wear to bed instead of the bra they gave me. When I wear my bra I feel more swollen when I wake up than if I wear my band.
I tried on a few shirts the other day. I need to do some shopping to buy new shirts that fit. Almost 1/2 of my shirts dont fit me anymore.
I go back for another post-op on May 5th to see if I can take my tapes off. I really hope so b/c wearing tapes at work isnt very sexy to me.
Im going to start walking tomorrow and start eating even a little more better. Im trying not to gain weight with my time off.

Day 18

Finally some good change! Im lookin more normal by the day. :) They are getting softer too. My post op went well and he said I was doing great. I also have to specially massage them 4 times a day and do these door exercises to stretch my muscles. I can fully dress myself now. There is some discomfort like Im stretching a mucsle too much so I know to back off and stop straining too much. I have my energy back now too; which is fantastic. I can clean my house a bit better but I dont like the feeling when you bend over. Such as bending over to stop up the drain for a bath I get this pressuse funny feeling that kinda feels gross in my chest. The implant is so full there is no sloshing. I kinda like this size eventhough they are big still. The best thing about bigger boobs now is knowing that I can loose wieght and tone up without loosing my boobs. Knowing theyll always be there is a good feeling.

Day `11

Whoa what a tough week! This whole week sucked ass really. On Wednesday I coughed and sneezed a few times and was in serious pain for a few days. Then during the same time I ate some old food (b/c Im too tired to cook) and it made me sick from behind. TMI I know, sorry. :p

I went to my post op on Friday and they gave me The Band to push em down since they really didnt go down at all the 1st week. Its working slowly with the massaging I have to do. They said also that I dont have alot of skin under my nipples so its hard to put such a big implant in. If I would have gone any bigger I would have "loafed" together. Depsite that Im happy Im begining to look normal. I was sorta worried for a moment that they would never go down. The left one is still up there but I still have another 3 weeks away from work to look normal again.

Ive been chillen at home making an ugly ass dent in my couch. Once I get enough energy to get out and start walking alot to keep the pounds off. Cant go back to work all fat n stuff. Anyways, cant wait to start being normal n stuff soon!

PS: my friend was awesome to lend me his camera to take pics with. :)

Day 5

Not much of a change since yesterday.
I woke up in the middle of the night with pain from the swolleness. So I got my peas and sat on my couch and watched the morning news. OMG it felt like they were gonna burst outta my chest. I had small shooting pains which are normal but damn did they hurt. After my boobs went numb from the frozen peas I took a sleeping pill, anti biotic, anrica tabs, and a pain pill. I went and laid back down and was out in a flash.

I woke up at noon. My boobs still hurt so I called the doctors office and spoke with a nurse. She said the swelling should be subsiding faster. Since they havent called me back with any urgent message then I guess Im ok and will still see them Friday as scheduled.

Im going to take it easier again. I may feel good but inside its still healing. I guess I can really tell if the swelling has gone down by Wednesday or Thursday. Hopefully, I can drive by Saturday.

Day 4

So, its day 4 now and I feel alot less pain but still very stiff. I'm bored as hell sitting inside my house. A friend of mine brought me a ton of movies and his DVD player so I wont go crazy. I don't want to go outside much b/c someone will stare at my swollen boobs. They still hurt though but the pain keeps getting less and less. One boob is dropping faster than the other. I think I will call my doc tomorrow to ask him if I can massage now. Well, the left one is 410cc and the right one is 425cc. The left one was bigger to begin with anyways. Its slightly softer too. I go back for another appointment this Friday. Im still happy with them and the surgery feels like it was weeks ago. However, I still remember the pain. I cant wait to go for a walk and work off some of my fat. I feel very bloated and have been eating low sodium foods; although, it feels like its not working. I still cant cook or do things for long periods of time. I get tired alot still. I take many naps during the day to rest and drink lots of water.

Day 3

Before surgery they took me to the pre-op room and dressed me in a gown and made me take a preggo test. Of course its negative. Then they put the giant IV needle in me. She had to stick me twice b/c my right arm didn't take so well. It was weird feeling the cool solution go into my arm. Then like the anesthesiologist came in and spoke to me about what's going to happen. Then they escorted me to my room which was freezing by the way. At that time I saw someone getting lipo right next operating room next to mine. They they placed me on the table with arms out to my sides. Then he pumped me full of drugs then the mask came down and BAM I was out.

I woke up shaking and cold. They put a blanket over me. I felt like I had been in a deep sleep and couldn't wake up. Finally, I did and my chest felt sooooo tight. My boobies are still up to my collarbone except they don't hurt as bad.

Whoa the 1st few days sucked ass. I'm feeling soo much better today. I still feel really tight and a few bouts of nausea. Still cant eat alot of solid foods. Most of my food is jello, water, 7-up, and applesauce. I had some chicken and rice to at least help my meds go down.

I had my post op yesterday and the doctor said I was doing great. I wasn't bleeding or overly sore. They gave me Lunesta and said I could take an Ultram and a 1/2 to ease my pain. I'm taking one now again. Damn those made me dizzy.
