Well I am feeling okay. Really , really sore. I feel like I felt when my milk came in at the hospital, like my chest is going to burst!
My doctor said everything went very well and she was very pleased with my results. She went with 550cc Silicone Inamed unders. I am taking soo many pills that I am lucky my hubby is on top of things and taking care of me. I am pretty out of it most of the time with very little energy. I am soo glad that it is over and now I just need to heal. Thanks for thinking of me and I will check in again soon.

I am nervous about my size and keep telling myself that I need to give them time and they will drop and even out. I just feel soo big! I haven't seen many women in my research that are my size and went as big as mine. 550ccs on both sides seems so HUGE! I do finally look in proportion and my husband says I look fantastic. But I still feel so uncomfortable from the weight and pressure. I just can't wait til my post-op and I can take this darn medical bra off, or can I swap it for a sports bra?

I weighed in at 134 on the morning of my surgery. I have gained some weight but not much, it is mostly the implants I have to factor in. We estimated that they weigh about 1 pound 4 ounces each. I can definitely feel it! I just can't wait for the pressure to give. My PS will start me on my exercises on Wednesday and remove my bandages. Okay, I am off to rest. I still don't have much energy.

hey there liylana,

I'm wondering how you feel 3 weeks later

mine is still some time away, 15th December ...but I do go through the same emotions you were expressing...the anxiety is a killer.
I'm more freaked out about the anesthetic than anything else...and really wish it a little less painfull than it seems.

nontheless i am excited

have you gone to work yet? and how's that going

hope you're feeling great

Hi Rou:)
I am feeling wonderful! I still get zingers sometimes from the nerves healing but otherwise all is well. I love my boobs! I am soo happy with their size and shape now. Even though they are way larger than what I initially wanted. They are the size I tried on. Just look different when they are actually under your skin and boosting up what tissue you have left. I still have alot of restrictions, but I would do it again in a hot second!

Don't worry. It goes by soo fast and it is soo worth it!
((Hugs)) Christine
