1 week post-op..yippee
A week is down...I am feeling better each day and am just looking forward to the day where I feel 100% again. So last night I decided that I would try to go to sleep without the help of Ambien. WORST NIGHTS SLEEP EVER! Not only was I awake most of the night but when I did sleep I was having some crazy dreams that freaked me out. ugh! I am not sure if it was just because I was uncomfortable sleeping on my back or the pain of the implants moving upward when I lied down or the fact that my body was sooo liking the Ambien and was like "wait, we had a good thing going..what did you do?" I am sure it was a mixture of everything but I was almost in tears because I literally only got a few hours of sleep. Tonight I am not going to be so brave, I am taking a percocet to relax me and hopefully tonight will be much better.
I have been paranoid pretty much since yesterday and decided to call the Dr.'s office today. I feel as if my left breast is doing so well. It's dropping and it starting to not feel so hard and heavy but my right breast is feeling hard and its hurting when I do my exercises. I just really don't want to have any major issues to where I might have to have surgery to fix them. They assured me that its basically having two separate surgeries and one might heal faster than the other. Also the velcro strap on the bra has been on the bottom of the bra and I wanted to ask about putting it overtop of my breasts overnight to help with the swelling in the morning. She told me that having it on top is usually what he did but because of the areola reduction(which I basically had a lift) that is why it was on the bottom. I was told having it on top will help them drop and as soon as I got off the phone I put that puppy over top of the bra...haha It was painful because it was pressing my breast together and of course pushing them down but tonight I am doing much better. Thanks to a dose of percocet but nevertheless better. As the days go by I am getting more used to them and liking them more and more. They look gigantic to me but in reference to the rest of my body they balance me out and that was what I was going for. I am happy with how they proportion me now, I can't wait till they have dropped and look more natural. I want to be that girl that people look at and ask, "did she or didn't she". :)

I think mine look huge too, but I am happy with them. My husband thinks Dr. Pousti is the greatest EVER! At my appt. they told me that mine were still swollen and that they will drop a ton in the next few weeks. Just yesterday I was able to go all day with no painkillers or any meds. Each day is a huge step in the healing process. You are doing great!
