PS - your man sounds blooming lovely! Bra shopping! I dread to think what mine would return with lol! x

Its an anti-inflammatry, its optional for me to take. I must say he's being brilliant, think he's more bored with not being work lol. I definatly need a 34, this 32 ive got on is so uncomfortable on my ribs under my boobs, its more painful than my actual boobs which feel fine!! x x

Lol yes! So does it feel ok when you take it off? I don't have any bandage or anything. Just strips over my scars/stitches. I am scared to take it off! But I want to look and take pics.
Oh I see. Optional is good. Don't want meds in your system you don't need I suppose. Hehehe ahhh. I bet he loves your newbies though!

Ladies brilliant your both so well! Ive bought 2 Macoms size m (34) the size that I wear. Do you think I need to get one a bigger size then maybe a L? x

Mine seems to be going down again now? Depends how tight it is Dora? You can always return it if you don't wear it?
OH MY GOD! I have just taken it off and had my first proper look! I am so happy!

That made me smile! Glad your happy! x

Fab when you have a look isn't it!! ive only got dressings on my incisons no bandage. I'm going to take some pics and sort my picture trail out. Dora, like littlemiss said maybe buy a bigger sports bra and if its too big you can return it. Are you feeling nervous Dora and guard? x x

I think Iam more excited now that I hear how well you and littlemiss are doing I cant wait to get mine!!!! I have everything I need but today for some reason Ive got an urge to run out and buy more bras and tops!

Hahaha I did this Dora. Panic buying. Love it. Do be calm! I am not sugar coating anything as we promised! I am just about to update my pics with them out! xx

Hi all- getting v excited nerves if you know what I mean? Feeling better that you girls are coping so well and are so happy. I am worried I'm going to have massive knockers as going for 500cc but got to remember that I am a bit bigger than you girls and have always been a very full DD/E before the children came along.

My surgery is only guaranteed for 1 year (for free revision surgery) but I wi have free consultations for life and my implants are guarenteed for life - is this normal?

Had a bit of bad/good news today- I am currently on maternity leave and plan to go back in may for 2 days a week- but my job share person has just resigned! Not sure work will have me back now. Not the end of the world as happy to stay at home with the girls but I had wanted to pay for my own surgery and now I might not have the means too- I hate living off my husband as always had my own money. Having a sort out today for a bootfair- not sure I'll make 5k but anything will help! X

Great that your both excited. Its really not that bad, when I was walking to theatre I was really calm which took me to surprise, my partner ended up more nervous than me!! sorry to hear about your job guard, don't feel bad for living off your partner for a little while, your the mother of his children so he has to look after you lol!!! Dora, your panic buying lol!! x x

Getting close guard! Yey for you hun!


Whoa! They cannot not have you back on that
basis sweetie. The laws around maternity are all in your favour. They have to reasonably try to accommodate
you. The fact the other person quit is not your problem. They will be very
silly if they drop you on that basis without making you an alternative
offer/position. A lot of people get sued for that and lose. Fact. It is very
dangerous ground for them.

Equally if you want to stay home that would be lovely! Don't feel bad! I agree with Loclo on this x

Just for a laugh and because I am bored I just measured my boobies at a 30D/DD. Hahah I know I have swelling so this is not accurate but its funny that 3 days ago I was not filling a 30A.

Guard don't worry about that lovely, as littlemiss said they can't get rid of you just because someone else resigned. If you really are concerned though ring your local ombudsman and get advice and see where you stand with it all.

Glad to hear that you girls are still doing well and not in pain but both happy with size etc =] fills me with hope for mine hehe. KFS for yours hun, not long now at all and i hope the kids are better today? x x x x x

Nope... no pain. Happy happy! And just to drive this home....the little bruise on my hand from having the anesthetic thingy in hurts more than my have at all!
I do notice I get tired (having had walks about the house and studying today) and had a little doze just now. Lovely! As my PS said just listen to your body and you will be fine! x

KFS are you next then? 4 days! Woo hoooooooo xx

HI Littlemiss a 30D sounds amazing how fantastic! What guide did u use to get the measurement?
Guard am sorry to read u may have problems at work. Hopefully they will find another suitable job share candidate. And dont worry bout 500 being big! I am getting 420 so about half cup size difference and I am a size 8, I dont think either of us will look too big! I cant wait! Would def have agreed to larger if a PS had allowed/recommended it for me!
Loclo will look forward to ur pics as we r getting about the same! Glad u r still feeling well x

Also, my loan came through yester and so the hospital has full payment now!!!!! Yikes!!!! x

Well I have read about a million of the guides and the modern idea seems to be forget the whole measure and then add X inches stuff as this does not work with modern bras as sizing and construction has changed since they came up with that in the 1930s!, just like dress sizes have. I also found this true before my op. I was in the wrong size back for yonks - they just hung off me.

These ones are good...

The first one has a calculator - my under is always 29, my over is currently 35 depending on my swelling, so its a 30DD.
Its good to be educated on this I think. I would never had thought I'd be a D before reading cookies explanations on cup sizes, but I feel this smaller band/bigger cup is the way to go and makes sense. So although D/DD sounds big, its a much smaller cup size than a 34D. I wont obviously buy anything on this basis til I am much more settled and healed. I expect to end up smaller!!!!

Thanks Littlemiss - i think they might be able to as they wrote into my contract that they reserve the right to ask me to work full time in the event that my job share leaves the company and they cant find me a suitable replacement. They won't find another position as I would be the only part timer in the company. I can still work but it will be full time. I work in London and its LONG hours and a reasonably big commute (about 3 hours a day) so i wouldn't see my children or husband ever.

I wasn't 100% sure about going back anyway... I have actually always wanted to be a beautician so if i can't go back there, I might retrain....as one door closes another one opens....just feel like I am loosing my independence. I can't complain too much though as I am well aware that some ladies have to go back to work and I'm very lucky that I have the opportunity to stay at home if I want to.

Anyway enough of that - lets get back to boobies! 30DD - v v impressive. Have you done any research to see what you might end up with? Have you had any boobie blues yet? I am currently having a 'littlemiss' moment and just spent another £60 in John Lewis on BA bits - whoops!

x

I have buddah belly!! I feel so bloated, can hardly fit any food in! x x

Phahahaha! I love this guard! I have A LOT of bras to return when I am better! Its not just bras either, I did go completely boobie prep mad! But it got me through so never mind!
Ohhh beauty! Sounds lovely. I always fancied that too! But I've already retrained from being a chef to business and now law! Maybe that's next on my list!
I can't really guess what I will end up. I think everyone is so different with their swelling and drop and fluff. I do hope they stay close to this size to be honest! No boobie blues yet! I did think I wanted them bigger but that's before I managed to get my sports bra off and have a good look this morning. Anything would be better than what I had before though! I love them soooo much! xxx

Loclo I also have buddah belly! :( But I also seem to be eating LOADS! I am scared I may pop! I am drinking loads of water and eating fruit and hope it will sort itself out!??? x

Me too. I've drunk so much water, think it will go within a week. I looked at your pics, looking great Littlemiss! x

Lol me too! I have just been up and down the stairs a few times, I will see if that helps.
Thanks. Bit funny looking at the moment haha
