I'm a awake :)

Hiya everyone just wanted to update to say I am finally awake properly now! Had a bit of trouble with my O2 levels so strugglled to come round, was very groggy and kept drifting off!

I was first on the list :) I went to sleep at 9 and woke in recovery at 10, very cold and confused lol. I had 525cc overs which are very tight and tender too. It was the largest I could go so pleased with that although I must be honest and say my DD sports bra is baggy, so am kind of disappointed with that, thought I would wake up and magically be impressed, ho hum. There appeared to be some confusion as the surgeon flat out said I could not have 650 or 605cc implants. I know I had a wobble about sizes but I never specified a size of implant so bit confused By that. I just asked that he not go smaller than we had said ie 400-500 was what he recommended and I would be happier larger not smallere.

Took some pics pre-op last night but feel very upset about them. Very unflattering and now really hope I am happy with my new boobies as my old ones were horrific.

Well, gone on more than I meant to, sorry! I just want to say thank you all for your helpnsupport and advise, its been invaluable. Xxx

Sorry for shocking spelling and grammar, obviously not as awake as I thought lol!

congratz honey,take it easy and happy healing,give em a few days to soften and you'll notice a difference in size

Glad everything has gone well hunni. Give your boobies time to settle hun and I'm sure you'll be more than pleased. Take it easy and happy healing. xxx

Hi hunnie, glad everything went well - it's still very early days for you to be able to judge size - although I'm a little surprised that you aren't filling a DD having had 525ccs. Maybe it's because of the band size - if you went 2 band sizes larger for example, then this might account for it. Just wait till the swelling goes down and everything settles, then you might start to have a better idea of your sizing - it really is impossible to judge on the day of the operation itself.
How are you feeling other than a bit groggy and drowsy??? Had your first cup of tea yet??
I'm really looking forward to your story when you have recovered enough to write about it.

Congrats hunnie, good that your chatting away already!!!! Don't be too concerned about your boobs at the moment, lots of healing and settling and you will notice a difference EVERY day, as Carol says don't worry about not fitting into your DD bra, I was the same straight after my op but now I'm a lovely, bubbly F cup!!!!!!

Take it easy babe, and enjoy your first cuppa, it's the best ever!!!!! xx

Well, just had the lovely nurse round, she isn't meant to say about sizes but she thinks I am an E at least but she hasn't had a proper look. She thinks my bra isn't very good which is why its a little loose under the cups.

Have had a bit to eat, had coffee and toast about lunch, one of the few occasions they could keep me awake lol! Just had an omlette for tea now. They are finally getting me some meds, but I think my bra band is squeezing which is what is uncomfortable. But would rather keep on top of the pain meds than let it start hurting when trying to sleep.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. Its much appreciated :) xx

Good idea to keep on top of the pain killers hun, at least for the first few days. Take care. xx

Glad things went well hun. Definitely a good idea to keep on top of the pain meds for the first few days at least.

If you feel you can manage it, go for a walk round sometime during the evening, it certainly does help with the circulation and helps prevention of any embolisms (and it's nice to have a change of scenery, the 4 walls of the room gets a bit boring after a while.

Good to see you are on the other side now. I am sure they will be fab when in a fitting bra x

Hey honey, glad everything went well for you.
Do not stress over size, i'm only 5 days post op and mine have changed so much already, i'm sure yours look fab.
Congrats xxxxxx

Glad to hear you are awake and well!
Dont worry about the bra or cup sizes at the moment... I know its hard! But truly your boobies will change sooooo much over the next few weeks and I am sure with 525's you will be bigger than a d or dd. I had 540's and i wear a 32G and even pop out of some of those!
I was dissapointed by the size of mine for the first few weeks too but once they fluffed and I got them in a proper bra I feel in love with them.
Now rest up hun and enjoy! x

Huge congrats hunnie. Hope you feel good with your new boobies and not too sore xxx

Congratulations hunnie, your doing really well.......

Like all the other girls, keep on the pain meds for a few days and don't be worrying over your size at the min, they are all stuck ( if we can call it that ) and once the fluffing fairy has been you will be so pleased!

Keep us updated x x x x

Congratulations on your new boobs - try and get some sleep and don't worry about size - sure you will be filling that DD by the time you wake up. xx

Congratulations on your new boobies hun. Dont worry they will change so much, you will love them I'm sure. They always look weird this early post op

Hi hun - congrats - as all the girls have said don't worry about size yet - loads of changes to go through - happy healing, get plenty of rest & keep up with the pain meds xx

congrats on your new boobs, just remember you are still sleepy, and the nurse sees ppl in recovery allt he time and thinks your bigger... she would know best.. im sure they look amazing, cant wait to see your progress... rest well :o)

congrats babe :)) rest up and im sure the fluffing fairy will be there soon HAHA well at least thats what all the girls tell me :)) xo

Wow! I cant believe I thought I was awake when I typed that yesterday lol!

Thanks for all the well wishes, I got home about 9.30. The car journey wasnt too bad but the meds have started making me feel queasy so was glad to get home. The boobs seem to have filled out abit more, although the skin over my breast bone and inbetween my implants is lifted from the surface and pulled real taut, thats quite odd looking!

Not in too much pain, more uncomfortable. I do feel it if I try and do something with the baby though, but I cant help it as dh isnt coping too well with her.

Will take some pics when the kids have gone bed, I have only had one peek at them so far lol! Need something to keep looking at as its too cold to be taking my top off!

Thanks again for your comments xx

Glad you are feeling well, in about a week, id love you to PM me and let me know how you made out with caring for the kids. I also have a two year old and want to know how long I will need a babysitter for while my husband goes to work... thanks xoxox

Try and take it easy hunnie, try not to do too much too soon. xx

Yes, tempting though it may be - especially if you feel that you're OK,, you do need to take it easy, and then slowly start easing your way back to normal existence after the first week - otherwise you could seriously delay your healing.
Take care hun
