Day 2 post BBR/BL...and first look.

Today was the first time I had a proper look at my new boobs.  They're...perky and small.  I'm not used to them.  It'll take me some time to adjust to them.

Regrets? Dunno yet.

  1. Hi Nessa, thanks for sharing your experience with us. Would you be able to tell me what a typical day's food consists of, now you are well past the liquid, soft-food stage? I am curious if it is something I think I can sustain, they don't seem to go into too much detail on doctor's websites. Thanks. Natalie.

    1. Hi Natalie. Where are you located and are you looking at a particular surgeon? Or just curious about the whole procedure and what's involved pre and post op?

  2. I'm just curious really - more about post-op but you have described your experience pretty well. I live in St Kilda and had been looking at a surgeon, Peter Nottle, who does it at The Avenue and also works at The Alfred. I have read some people say they eat what they used to but smaller portions - about a cup's worth) but I thought you said you were eating about 1/2 a cup worth of food - correct me if I'm wrong. I might be remembering that wrong. I also appreciate everyone will be a bit different with what they can tolerate after the surgery. I'm worried I might just eat too much and stretch the stomach again - do you ever fear that? Is there a website/dr who shows what a typical day's eating might look like? Thanks. Natalie

    1. It'll be easier to chat via email, so feel free to write to me at pikapolonica@live.com.au :)

      Serving size does vary though, sometimes I can only manage 1/2 cup, other times 3/4 to 1 cup. I can tolerate all foods (which can either be a good thing or bad thing LOL).

      I always fear stretching the tummy. When I brought it up with my surgeon at my 2 year post op check, he said unless I'm gaining a significant amount of weight, he won't investigate. I've only gained a few kgs, which isn't excessive. It's normal to gain a few once things settle down etc.
