Thanks to all who have PM me to ask how I’ve been coming along since my surgery. All I can say is I LOVE THE NEW ADDITIONS! They are perfect.
(For those who are totally confused I had a BA on October 9th.)
The only "complication" I have dealt with is a problem sleeping. For the first two weeks I was sentenced to sleeping on my back and just couldn’t get comfortable. I am sure this led to my feeling of being tired and just out of it. At the end of last week I found I could finally roll comfortably on my side and viola! I slept like a log. Friday I felt like my old self again.
I did try to workout just a little on Monday and found that was not such a good idea. I was just going to do a little cardio and some lunges and squats. Although I was doing the elliptical (keeping my arms stationary on the handles in the middle there was still too much bouncing going on even with the sports bra from hell I am sentence to. I will try again on Thursday with two, yes two, sports bras from hell holding the girls still.

The time off at the gym could not have been planned better. My gym was closed several days due to fumes. They refinished the basketball court and the fumes were so bad they closed the fitness center for five days.
I’ve been making good use of my non gym time with a lot of freelance work.

Truth be told I haven’t disappeared but just so busy I haven’t had time to post. So must has happened in the past month that it all seems to be a blur.
I guess the story starts about six months ago when I started thinking about getting a BA (breast augmentation). Losing body fat has its consequences. I knew I would continue to lose what little I had as I built more muscle. I pushed it to the back of my mind since I was in the midst of doing the "training via web" with Steve Oldfield. Summer came and I thought about it again and mentally planned it for some time in the fall. Being the geek that I am I did thorough research online before finally deciding that October would be a good month.
In September I booked some consults with area plastic surgeons and chose the one I thought fit me best. I scheduled my surgery for October 9th.
I worked out right up until two days before my surgery. The surgery itself was easy and I felt a little discomfort but no real pain. I took  this week off from work to "recover".The hardest part of it all is knowing I can’t workout at all for about three weeks and those who know me know this is truly a sacrifice for me. Once I get the go ahead I can do cardio and legs only. At six weeks I hope to start adding upper body slowly back in. At eight weeks I can go back to doing chest with light weights. At twelve weeks I should be back to where I was pre-surgery.
Ironically, the day after I booked the surgery I got a freelance job to pay for the BA in full without touching savings.
So, how big did I go? Once the swelling goes down I should be a full C to a small D. I will post a new pic soon.
