Had my surgery yesterday. I have 375cc's put in to make up for the cc loss of a 340cc. Don't remember much of yesterday other than feeling groggy, loopy and excited for having new boobies. My boyfriend has been taking care of me non-stop. He's incredible. He's got all of my medications on a schedule with alarms set on his cell phone. I love him <3
My worst pain so far was on the way home from the surgeons right after the operation yesterday.
The doc told my bf that the first words out of my mouth after waking up was "Whooo boobs!" hahaha.
Today,( the official 1st day post-op) went great. I slept awesomely despite waking up every few hours to take medications. My boyfriend set his alarms and woke me up for pills and water. Like I said, he's amazing and I love how much he does for me. I could NOT do this without him. I had a lot of energy and no pain, only minor discomfort. My first post-op appointment was at 10:30 this morning. Apparently I look great, and I was reminded to continue icing my breasts through the bandages. (good thing, cuz I forgot to do that.) I did feel really great today, I've had zero nausea from the pain meds, and walking was way easier than it was yesterday. After lunch (solid food, believe it or not) I was exhausted. Dunno why, but at noon I napped until about 4pm.
I've been taking my valium and percoset much less than recommended. I'm not in much pain at all, although I'm sure that taking them at bedtime makes everything easier. I wonder though if my lack of pain is because I had surgery yesterday. I've read that the 3-5 days can be the worst. Anyone else experience that?
Two things I've noticed: the top of my chest itches, right at the top of my breasts/implants, just two inches below my collar bones. I'm assuming it's the obvious result of stretching skin due to the implants. Is this a good assumption? I'm still numb, even near my ribs. My PS said that I may experience some pain on my ribs. I haven't yet, but he told me to expect it and that it's completely normal.
The other thing is sometimes when I move my arms, I hear this weird squeak or creak inside my breasts. From what I've read, it's just air and fluid trapped inside my breast tissue and that it will go away. I've also read that it could be the start of capsular contracture, but I'm sure it's too early to tell. Any advice on that would be much appreciated. I hope some of you ladies have experienced that same and could reassure my fears before I see my PS on Friday for another post-op.
Anyway, I feel amazing. I'm excited, and super happy. No sign of the "booby blues" yet, and I doubt I will feel sad or depressed. I admit I'm a little nervous that they will be too big, but I know that they are swelled and brand new. Time will tell!
Does anyone have any advice on how to ice my breasts? The bandages are ample enough to not need a towel, but I'm frustrated with having to move the icepacks around all the time and wondered if anyone had tips on how to make it easier.
Also..how should by bf bathe me without getting my bandages wet?
And please girls, ask me all your questions! I'll be checking frequently and writing my experiences every day.
