Congrat. As you know I am looking to go for 1000cc and love to see how 1000cc would look like, would love to see more as she feel better. Can you share her before stats? As for **83** confort, I found using on bed reading pillow worked super, I can **82** with no back pain.

lovefakeboobs, I'll try to answer your questions.

I never really HAD to wear the prostheses I just did on occasions for aesthetic reasons and to get an idea of what it would be like to carry 800ccs around for a period of time. My starting measurements were a somewhat empty DD. Stuffing my bra gave me the look I was wanting, but it's a long way from having the same kind of volume stuffed under my skin. You can't really get an idea of what effect it will have on your muscles and skin when they're simply placed on the outside. But yes, once everything has healed well I'll be curious to see what it would look like with the prostheses added to what I currently have now.

Today I'm feeling a lot more lucid. The meds do a great job with helping me deal with pain and discomfort, however they knock me out and I'm **83** for a good period of the time.

I spent the last couple of nights **83** on the couch as it allowed me to keep upright and put cushions under my arms for support. However at 3am this morning I just wanted to lay horizontal, so I got up and took my meds and eased myself down as best I could. I conk out pretty quickly after the pain meds and woke this morning feeling good.

I've had to keep a written record of what meds I've taken and when as they have different time periods. The anti-biotic is every 12 hours, the anti-muscles spasm is every 8 and the pain and anti-nausea is every 4. It's impossible to keep those kinds of records in my head, so I wrote them all down. BTW, my writing is horrific at the moment. lol

Today I was able to shower on my own. YAY! MD is away on a course again today and I desperately wanted a shower but wasn't up for it when he was ready at 6am.

The only area I could wash properly was my right armpit. It feels like I have a tennis ball under my left armpit and I just can't get the reach over there. I got the loofa and did as best as I could though.

I even managed to get a bra on today. It was one of the larger bandeau bras (42), so I was quite pleased with myself in that regard. I have deodorant in my left armpit but not in my right, so I'm only half smelly.

I have the ability to raise both my arms up or back (to fasten my bra clasps) but can't bring my hands together in front to wash them. So usually I'm bending over to do them both at once or turning to the side to get them done individually.

I have sensation in my nipples today. Not quite like I had prior to surgery, but I have feeling nonetheless. It's comparable to the feeling you would have if you touched your nose. It doesn't necessarily send tingles to your naughty bits, but you know your nose has been touched. That's kind of how it is today with my nipples.

The tightness has dropped a little. Yesterday it was really tight high up by my shoulders, today it's a little lower down so I guess the implants are slowly moving southward.

That shine you often get associated with really taught stretching has gone as well. They're still quite swollen, but don't feel quite as taut as they have been of late.

So I'm going to see how I go today without having to take pain meds. I took my last dose at 7:40am this morning and don't feel I need them so far. But believe me, I'm not the hero type that will go without them to show how tough I can be. If it starts to hurt, I'll be popping them. I'm hoping to stay lucid for the Cowboys (YAY) vs Redskins (BOO) game today. Feel free to boo me. I don't care. I gots boobies!!!!

Oh, MD has more pics somewhere so when he gets around to it he'll be posting them. Right now my brain is on minimum life support and can't be bothered thinking about finding the camera and downloading pics off it to here.

Antibiotics...humm....what are you taking and for how long. Might to take a little probiotics too. It could mess up your microfloia esp in your reproductive area. I wish I could find someone big that some day wants to be bigger. Most women do not really share that fetish with someone. I think I would be happy to find someone least with a d cup, on the other hand I would not turn away someone whose flat.

C_C You come along way

Congratulations to you both! I'm so happy for you guys.

take care. I can't wait to see more pictures.

Thanks!

And yeah, I need to get off my lazy butt and post more pics. Sorry about that, folks.

Yesterday was the one week post-op checkup. Doc said everything looked fine. He said that it would take 3 months for the implants to drop, then he added that in cherri's case it would likely take longer than that. We didn't ask, but I figured his addendum was due to the uncommonly large size of her implants.

He then showed her how to do the implant massage. This was different than anything I'd read about online. In the one implant massage article I recall reading, the breasts are supposed to be gently squeezed from the bottom (akin to squeezing a tube of toothpaste) to cause the implants to rise up. cherri's doc demonstrated more of an alternating hand massage, pressing somewhat side-to-side at/near the top, with an emphasis in a general downwards pressure. 5 mins per side, twice a day.

He suggested of course that maybe that could be my task, so I wanted to get his visual verification that I was doing it right, so I did my quick interpretation of his instructions, getting his corrections where necessary. And as soon as we got home, I did my duty. Err, massaging her implants.

Late yesterday she ended up going to the gym in our complex to do some time walking on the treadmill. When she got back, she was quite pleased. She had put the treadmill on a slight incline, and found the angle somehow caused her to stand up straighter. Or some such. She was essentially able to relieve herself of the discomfort in her shoulders and lower back. So yeah, she'll likely be doing that again on a regular basis.

Each day is a wee bit better than the day before. And we're keenly looking forward to 3 months from now.

This pic was actually taken on the 16th. Should have posted this sooner.

I was inspired from my vantage point, so I grabbed the camera.

Oh, and pay no attention to the bed-head. The meds gave her plenty of reason to close her eyes and lay her head down with a fair bit of frequency.

jklope4 · « **Reply #39 on:** November 24, 2007, 01:26:03 AM »

Very nice vantage, you don't see that one too often (or at least I haven't) and it certainly gives a nice idea of their size.

MasterDragonfly · « **Reply #40 on:** November 29, 2007, 08:54:11 AM »

So today cherri noted that she's officially back to her pre-op weight.

That means that she's lost the 9 lbs she gained from the surgery. Some of that would have been swelling, IV fluids and the like, but of course 2000cc (1000cc per side) of saline would have been approximately 4.4 lbs of that amount.

Oh and last night she put on her old pre-op bra (38DD). It actually looked pretty good on her! She was VERY stoked at how she filled it out. I took a pic of it, so I'll try to get it up here later today.

lovefakeboobs · « **Reply #41 on:** December 01, 2007, 11:15:58 AM »

Wow. MD, and CC, from that prospective at her back those bums look huge. I do not think she will never look like an over abused barbie. With her hair style she looks like dawn withman (I think that is how you spell her last name)
Do people say anything when she goes out in the public. I think you are one the few guys on here who has a woman who wanted to be super abnormally large sized implants. I admire you both for that.
God bless

MasterDragonfly · « **Reply #42 on:** December 01, 2007, 12:40:42 PM »

Ah yes, Dawn Whitham, which I believe is the correct spelling (verified just now in Google). I was actually trying to remember her name the other day.

Nobody's said anything (yet) when we go out in public. Back when she was going out in public with the prostheses, she would definitely get heads turning. Still waiting for that to happen with the new boobs, but we're also still waiting for them to drop.

Bonus: today we noticed veinage!

I know I promised a new pic recently. Still need to edit it before uploading it. If I don't do it today, don't expect anything before next weekend, as I'll be a little busy in the meantime.

christina w · « **Reply #43 on:** December 03, 2007, 01:05:56 AM »

How is Cherri doing? Is she feeling any pain? I think it took me 4 weeks before the pain went away.

collared_cherri · « **Reply #44 on:** December 03, 2007, 11:16:57 AM »

Hi christina

I'm doing well now thanks. Am I feeling any pain? Hm. No not really. I would say it was more discomfort and tightness than pain. I have a high pain threshold, so that is probably a big reason for the limited pain.

Most often my discomfort will happen in the evening. Because the implants are still rather high, my bra is pressing on them and towards the top of my armpit. So I'll remove it at around 8 or 9pm and get some relief. I'll also feel the weight of them more as gravity pulls them down which is kinda cool.

I'm able to **82** on my side a little more now. I was more of a face-down sleeper prior to surgery and I don't think I'll get back to that, but it's nice to be able to turn on my side and tuck my arm under my head and pillow. I don't like **83** on my back and the first week worth of night **83** was very restless in spite of the pain meds knocking me out. I wasn't comfortable. The wedge pillow did help a lot and it would have been a lot worse if I didn't have it, but it was frustrating having to stay in the same position and not be able to roll over. I spent a couple of nights on the couch, which I found a little more comfortable.

I've seen your pics and you look fantastic!

I even mentioned to MD how envious I was of yours. I probably had unreal expectations of what I'd see when I woke from surgery. They didn't look nearly as big as I thought they would. They're still very high and from the profile it just looks like I've got a pronounced chest with breasts kind of underneath it. Patience is a virtue I seldom possess and I'm in a hurry for them to drop from my chest to my breast. It'll happen, just not tomorrow like I want it to. I can tell they've made some down progress and that's encouraging.

I started back in the gym on the treadmill a week post-op at a slower pace and smaller incline than usual and it felt fantastic. I think it was getting back into good posture and raising my heart rate a little that helped. I think my surrounding muscles in my shoulders, neck and upper back were cramped because I was stooped over a lot. Last week I got permission from Dr Liland to start doing upper body exercises gently (without weights) like windmills and flys to stretch my arms out. I had a lot of discomfort down my inner arms and wanted to be able to stretch them out. That felt great too. It'll be good once I get back into a normal exercise routine. Especially getting into the pool again. I'm not allowed to submerge them for a month ( or is it 6 weeks? or 3 months?) I forget what he told me. My next check-up with him is just after Christmas, so I'll ask then.

I've been hounding MD with non-stop questions. We've been researching this for years and yet it seems I've not been paying attention a good deal of the time.

I guess the info was going in one ear and out the other because it didn't really relate to me. Now that it does and I ask him these questions he gives me that "Wha? You know this..." kind of look.

I think I just need to be able to complain and blahblahblah every once in a while about how they're not how they should be, and how they're not big enough, and how "this isn't what it's like on Dr 90210..." and all I want from him is to patronise me, smile, nod his head and pat me on mine.

Thank you to everyone for your well wishes. It was very much appreciated.
