Carries day is finally here wooo! Bless her, hope it all went to plan this time lol. xxxxx

Hi Emma & Carol

Feeling better today, not so uncomfortable & got a new low impact sports bra (or actually I found one of of the ones I brought to try on implants - 32D fits me perfectly & is very comfortable) so feeling better.

I absolutely agree Emma that it's part of the journey & I just love my boobs. My mum & dad popped over this evening & saw me in bra & tshirt for the first time since strapping came off. My mum thought they were lovely, perfect size & said to my dad " look, don't they look nice & he agreed" which was really weird but also very funny!

I have my work belated Christmas do 2mrw night & I was trying on tops 2day- have chosen something that shows off my new shape - without being iin your face & I am really pleased how nice they look shapewise, even in a sports bra - so looking forward to a bit of attention 2mrw from my friends who have been excited for me & have only really seen me in a jacket!

Lilibet loved the part about your dad agreing they're nice! I got a mental picture in my head and it made me chuckle haha.
Good for you hun, have a great time at the do, if you feel good you look great! So I'm sure you'll shine xxxxx

Hi - had a great night on the dance floor last night - LOTS of lovely compliments at how natural they look which is exactly what I wanted. However - a tip - don't dance with your hands over your head when you still have your stiches in..felt fine at the time (must have been the champagne!!) but boy were my ribs sore/pulling when I got into bed & again during the day today.

Stiches out tomorrow so hopefully I haven't done any damage!!

Hey Ladies! I hope everyone is feeling happy with their new boobies and everyones experience went well!!

I haven't been on here for ages either! But am now 9 days post op,and am slowly but surely healing nicely and getting back to my old routine-work tomorrow :(!!

I just wanted to say I think this forum is such a good idea and it really helped me when I was worrying about everything a few weeks ago!

I'm looking forward to wearing a proper bra..showing them off..moving them about..and wearing a bikini on holiday in my what where 32b boobies and now 32DD amazing buddies!!! Good luck to everyone in Jan who is still awaiting surgery and message me if you have any questions :) xx

Also Lillbet - I cannot wait until I can go and have a boogey! Where you in pain when you got home?

Also- that was exactly what I wanted the natural look-what size do you think you'll be? Xx

Good luck to all the January ladies who have their ops this week - just in case I miss anyone's individual message. GOOD LUCK!!! XXX

Hi Rae Rae - the pain was on my ribs, directly where my incisions are but it felt like my ribs themselves were hurting - by midday the following day I was fine though.

I am currently wearing a 32D sports bra during the day & a 34D at night - was wearing a 32C last week but had marks on breasts from seams so think that is too small (pre BA I was an empty A cup after breast feeding 2 children). I'm very happy with the result, exactly what I wanted - just waiting for them to soften & fluff!!

Good luck with your op xx

Thanks jellytot1.. mine is tomorrow morning. Just counting down the hours now

good luck smalls, lots of rest ! xxx

Thanks emmamichelle. It went good. I'm at home now. Trying to.eat so.I can start.taking my pills.

So pleased to hear that everything went well for you hun - now rest up as much as you can as your recovery will be all the faster if you can do that.

Welcome back smalls and congratulations hun

Congrats smalls :) have a nice restful day tomoro and happy healing :) xx

Hi Smalls - congrats on your BA - rest up & take good care of yourself..xx

Thanks ladies. I'm just having trouble sleeping. My back is killing me to have to sleep like this. I'm used to sleeping on my front. I guess no more of that. Good luck to the girls with the BAs coming up!!

Hi everyone Just wondering if anyone had a 'sad' day? I woke up this morning feeling a bit headachey and low, and very teary . I should be feeling on top of the world shouldn't I? I'm happy with my new boobs and so it's pretty ungrateful of me to be feeling like this. I don't know if it's coz i haven't been out the house since Saturday or I can't pick my kids up or my hair needs a wash! Even reruns of Greys Anatomy aren't cheering me up and usually McDreamy and McSteamy are right on the button

Hi Carrie I hope you're ok luv and your day is improving. Hang in there.Lots of the girls have written about the high & low days you experience post op. Another high day will be along shortly.



I've got 5 hrs to sleep then off to hospital for me oooohhhhnooooo!!

Hi Carrie, like Mima said, it's a common phase which many of us have - although I must admit not being able to wash my hair was driving me mad - so I did end up by washing it on Day 3 and immediately felt so much better. Can you get a friend to do it for you hun if you don't feel able to do it yourself?? I must admit, the problem for me was not the actual washing it, but blow drying it into a style afterwards.
Can you have a cuddle with the children on the sofa??

Thanks Mima & Carol, I'm feeling much better today :good: Put my 5yr old to bed last night, was lovely to snuggle up and read his bedtime story. And had a shallow bath and hubby washed my hair, so feeling more myself again and not the moany old thing I was yesterday!

Thinking of you Mima and hope everything is going well hun xx
