March Buddies!

In fact, my OH is SICK of seeing them :-s

I don't believe that for one second
xx

LOL neither do I Carol, not after all this blasted money I paid!!

I showed him them earlier and said, "don't they look boobylicious", and he said, "uh yeah they do.. did you know that Gabriel Clark just asked Van Der Sar if he would consider staying on for another year and Van Der Sar said "no, I don't think so"..."

Boobs or football, boobs or football??....

This sounds like a conversation I will be having next Saturday/Sunday (when my boobies are in!)
I will pose the question, "boobies or football?" to my OH mid match Arsenal V whoever, whilst prancing around in a little vest and see what the answer is... Think I already know the answer and it only involves one inflated ball, not two

HAHAHA!!! Flowergirl

You would think they'd want to double their numbers wouldn't you!!

Girls I've had a weird moment that I felt the need to share... I was looking in the mirror for the gazillionth time, prancing up and down, looking from the front and the side, and I couldn't stop grinning. I was feeling so happy, that I actually properly welled up!!! I just love them soooo much, and I'm so glad that I did this. I know they haven't even settled yet or anything, but I'm really really really glad that I did this. I look a million times better.
I just wanted to share for the girls who have your BA coming up soon, and for those of you who've just had yours and are feeling the boobie blues... I'm sure you will soon be experiencing some of the elation that I'm having today. I can't get over it. I LOVE MY BOOBS!!!!!

lol

Aww hun, I'm so pleased for you - but I do know that feeling well. Just wait a couple of weeks and then you will start jumping up and down to see how the move LOL
Who would have thought that two blobs of silicon could bring so much happiness and so much confidence to so few :heehee:

Awww LL, so glad that you're loving your new boobies! I shed a tear last night when I thought about it all... it's so bloody emotional, isn't it? For most of us, well certainly me, I don't want a BA to look like I have humungous boobs (although I can see why girls do it, it's just not 'me'), I'm having it done because it brings me real emotional pain to look down and see a part of me that makes me feel completely abnormal compared to other women, something which I have cried about and has caused me real upset.
We are so lucky to have the guts to go through with it, we are some brave girlies here on this board

It is very emotional. I went through a range of emotions and cried more in the last 3 days than i have in my adult life. I think th emost important thing is to let the emotions out, the good and the bad. If you want to cry cry, if you want to squeek like chipmunk in nut farm cos you too excited, then do it. It helps you come to terms with the emotional aspect.

It will all be over so quickly on the day and then you will be so happy with the difference. :boobchick: Its going to go fine, if you have any questions, please dont hesitate to ask

LL that's great! I put on a T-shirt yesterday and thought that i really like mine already! Troublesome day has made me like the whole experience less but... I still like my new boobs!

Lol EJM - squeak like a chipmunk in a nut farm!!!!! I'm going to write that one down!!

It really is very emotional. I don't think there's a single emotion I haven't gone through in relation to this operation. Anxiety, fear, hope, excitement, joy, guilt, sadness, anger (with myself), elation (as today), jealousy, doubt... I've done the lot! But as you said flowergirl, it's about not having to live with that constant weight of feeling like less of a woman. I can just get on with my life now feeling like I'm normal and no one is looking at me when I'm wearing a bikini thinking... "wow, she is ridiculously flat chested". It's such a RELIEF!

Carol - I cannot wait for them to go squishy so I can jump about the place and squeeze them into a cleavage!! It sounds like you've been having fun!! :-)

Serenade - sorry to hear you had a troublesome day. I hope your tomorrow is a better one!! We're all here if you need a good moan anyway!

Amen to that! That's exactly it! That or having a new boyfriend and being afraid to take my top off...

Thanks LL! Touch wood things have calmed down now. We'll see what tomorrow brings!

My Goodness! It is so Funny how much you miss when you are away from this site for a day!!!! I have some catching up to do!

Hope eveyone is doing ok. Good luck to all the girls that are having their ba this week. I missed wishing a couple of you good luck this week. I was preocupied with pain and the bobbie blues.
Serenade- hope you have a better day Sunday.

I think my nerves must be trying to heal. Having a lot of strange feelings and stabbing pains. I still feel like a rubber doll though.

I have various seemingly random pains and different areas becoming problems then not again, I'd say that was normal Candy!

How you feeling today Candycain?

:flowers:

LL - So great to hear you sound so chuffed. I'm really hoping that's how I feel when I get the tape off. I can't wait to go shopping for my new bras!
The range of emotions you named is spot on, for me especially the guilt. I kept thinking I was being irresponsible taking a risk that I didn't 'need' to take. The thought of those strappy tops, the nice bras, halternecks....is keeping me going!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend xxx

Hi everyone..! I was originally booked for april, but I have just moved my surgery forward two weeks, and now my date is the 24th of March! so excited, only 11days to go now!
I'm having dual plane unders, anatomicals at the glasgow nuffield.

EMJ-- Thanks for asking. I am still suffering from the boobie blues. THe pain seems to be changing and getting worse. Getting a little scared because I am almost out of the good pain killers. At the moment I am wondering "What have I done?" Hope this feeling leaves soon. Everyone else seems so happy!

I loooove that you & some of the other ladies are already feeling this way. I love love love it! I am so happy to read this. This is exactly why you deserve your boobies! I am getting happier each day too, just waiting to be all healed & I know I will get those tears of joy happening. I'm adjusting. Today I am not really in pain (the odd sharpe pain that lasts a quick moment) but I'm just kinda numb which I like better than pain.

My moment today where I realized I liked the choice i made was when my husband I ... ... .... those are my symbols for had a lovefest (sex). I felt hot knowing that I had this beauty of a chest on my body. It does make you feel more womanly for sure.

To Tulip -


I did the same thing! I booked my ba date & then moved it up!

I'm glad you girls are all doing okay. I hope you're having a bit better of a day Candy.

xoxo
PS - sorry for such a long post, it's true tho, 24 hours away & there is soooo much to catch up on!

I've really enjoyed reading how everyone is dealing with their pre and post op emotions on this thread.
I've got 5 days to go and I think largely to do with this forum I feel really calm about the whole thing. It's like all of my worries are slipping into perspective.

Money - I work bloody hard for my money. I have friends who spend half their pay check on clothes each month. I don't. I saved it and it's going to pay for boobs. The end.

My Boyfriend - I think he'd still rather I didn't go through all of this. He finds it all confusing, but since I put the deposit down he's been very supportive. I think he'll be happy with the results after.

The Pain - I consider myself to have a freakishly high pain threshold (I once walked around with a broken arm for 3 days before going to the hospital because I thought it was odd that I couldn't move it ha) But when I had macrolane 2 years ago, it sodding well hurt! (unlike what they say on the websites) But no pain no gain! I'm just going to man up and deal with it, then come on here and complain about it I also think I now have an indication of how annoying it will be to not be able to use my arms much because I had that after macrolane too.

Work - My manager has been very understanding and I'm very lucky that taking time off isn't a problem. I do still worry a bit about what other co-workers will think of my absence and if they will be nosey. But you know what? Despite the fact I'll be groggy and in pain and uncomfortable I'm really looking forward to having time off of work! Bring on the awful day time tv movies and not having to deal with rush hour trains for 2 weeks!

To all the ladies on here who are recently post Op and in pain, or all of those that are freaking out because their Op date is looming, go and browse online for all the bras and swimwear you want to wear, but couldn't before. That always cheers me up!

Malibu!

You are a breath of fresh air! It's great how everything has worked out for ya with all the details. You sound so ready for your big day! We'll all be here for you as you recover. I was like you too - time off work well needed.

Tulip - welcome to March hun!! How exciting that your date has moved forward!

Malibu - it sounds like you have your head screwed on about and you've thought it through really well. I also found this forum has been an excellent support throughout my journey. The only thing I would add to what you said is that, pain-wise, most girls would probably describe it as "discomfort" rather than pain as such. It certainly shouldn't be a pain anywhere near what you can't handle, as your meds should take care of that. I had a real dip on day two when the GA left me and I was soooo sore and uncomfortable, but it had vanished within a couple of days.

Candy - I feel this way now, but a few days ago I didn't. I went through a really negative patch as well, but it vanished so quickly and now I feel great. I'm sure you will get there too hun. You're still very early days!

Auriga - the guilt is a pain in the bum, that's why I still haven't told anyone, and last night I had a dream revolving around my guilt, which has increased since I began loving my boobs even more! It's a real mixed bag. But as for the elation I'm feeling, I'm so sure that once you get the tape of and they start settling you will feel it too. It might even hit you suddenly when you least expect it, but it's awesome!! For me, it was trying on my old clothes and seeing what a massive difference there was!

Elle hun - thank you :-) I'm glad to hear you are beginning to enjoy them to their full potential lol. I must admit that the first time my OH and I did it after the op, it was really strange undressing in front of him and actually wanting him to look at my boobs! Let us know when you get that eureka "this is what it was for" teary-eyed moment, won't you!!
