400cc's!

While we were out in AZ we forgot to ask the simple question of how big my inserts are. I found out today that Dr M used 400cc implants in each breast. I was looking to go from "less than A" to something in the B cup range. I was expecting something like 250cc. Dr M says that I'll end up something like a large B or a small C. I guess I'll get used to this in time but the size of my implants goes a long way towards explaining why I'm so uncomfortable now. All that extra weight wants to shift every time I go from vertical to horizontal. I can feel it. I've gianed nearly 2 pounds from the inserts. My chest hurts from merely sitting still.

I had a bit of a crisis on Sunday when I tried on some clothes, trying to decide what to where to work on Monday. Even my loosest blouses are pulling at the buttons across the chest. Hopefully some of these will become wearable again as the swelling goes down or I'll have to replace almost my entire wardrobe! My best wardrobe option right now is sweaters. These are able to stretch to fit OK without looking stressed to the breaking point. While I don't want to start buying a new wardrobe to accommodate my swollen size I'm going to have to buy a few blouses to give me some more options and variety.

Although still swollen I am getting used to my new size. My breasts are too full at the top, with an obvious implant bulge, rather than a gradual, natural look I desire but they are nicely shaped. I think I'll like the final product.

Nobody at work has commented at all.
