Before... & Now

The moment of truth arrived. I got to take all of the bandages off this morning and see my new self. I have to admit, it's quite the shock. They are smaller than I had discussed with the doctor, and I had kind of a roller-coaster moment, but I guess there's nothing I can do about them now. I'm not going back in for an augmentation. Plus, going from what I was... I'm guessing anything would have taken me by surprise. So... the goal for today is to love my new self. I definitely feel free and kind of sportier like maybe I want to join you 5:00 am-ers and go for a 10 mile jog. J/K.

Due to the constant urging of a few squeaky wheels, I have decided (very reluctantly) to post a couple of before and after shots. Please keep in mind that these are NOT glamour shots in any way. The 'befores' were taking at like 1:00 am the night before my surgery, and the 'afters' were taken this morning and I still can't even do my own hair. :( So pardon my lovely appearance. I WILL LOVE THE NEW ME!

You look great! I actually have your "before" boobs right now, and they are ridiculous! Of course, my big belly makes them seem less huge, I guess. =)
Good luck with your recovery!

You look like you've lost all kinds of weight and you totally are not too small! You do look more sporty and despite what you probably think, I think you look very proportionate for your body. I'm totally envious of your new self!! You're a hottie already and you haven't even healed all the way!

I think you look great too. Like you said, anything would be sort of a shock after that kind of surgery. I think you look wonderful! so don't worry. Plus I bet your back will feel better too.
