Breast Augmentation Update

by Lia Halsall

Well folks, here I am in the flesh. It’s one day short of exactly two weeks since my breast augmentation and I couldn’t be happier with my results. And this is me in my Size 12 C/D Breast Surgery Bra taken right before typing this blog. After trying on lingerie yesterday whilst shopping I’m going to be a perfect Size 12C.

Bio-Oil is the product I chose to use by applying it twice a day both morning and evening. Bio-Oil is highly effective in helping to reduce the possibility of new stretch marks forming and increases the elasticity of the skin. Bio-Oil also helps improve the appearance of new scars from surgery and is also highly effective in helping to maintain the elasticity of scar tissue. It contains Vitamin A & E, Calendula, Lavender, Rosemary, Chammomile & PurCellin Oil. It’s a dry oil and smells quite lovely.

I’m still wearing a small piece of tape over the scar which I replace every couple of days. This is just to prevent the direct rubbing of the breast surgery bra on the scar.

Lisa asked me a question about what I can and can’t do so this paragraph is for her. The very first week following surgery you’re not to drive a vehicle and rest as much as possible. This is where the swelling is at it’s absolute maximum and then it starts to settle in the second week. Once the stitches come out after seven days (five days in my case due to xmas) you can return back to a normal life. I can do everything (except gym of course) albiet slowly and much more cautiously which apparently is normal behaviour following breast augmentation, it’s better to be safe than sorry in my opinion. I find pretty much anything that involves raising my arms above parallel is still a little bit sore but still managable. You simply just have to listen to your body and what it tells you that you can and can’t do. Like we’ve all experienced after training we often forget how much we use our chest muscles to do everyday things up until now. I personally don’t move or lift anything heavy and ask for help, a speedy recovery is much more important to me at this point in time. I think that just about covers everything but if I think of something I’ll be sure to post it up.

It’s still very surreal for me the fact that I’ve actually had breast augmentation and now have breasts again but I’m sure in time that will change. Cya later.

My Xmas Day Lunch

by Lia Halsall

Xmas Lunch was a huge feast! Mum did absolutely everything from buying the food, to preparing it the night before, then getting up early the very next morning to starting the cooking and serving it up right on time for all to enjoy. :o )


Here’s Heath (my brother) getting rather excited about all the great food there was to eat. Xmas Lunch consisted of four roasts: chicken, turkey, pork and lamb all served with the choice of a gravy and/or apple sauce. Then there were the ten vegetables: tomato and onion pie, sweet potatoe, butternut pumkin, zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli, beans, peas and carrotts. It was the feasts of feasts. :o )


Well here we all are sitting down outside for lunch basking in the days glorious sunshine. I mean, you have to ask yourself what more could you possibly want out of life! :o )


This is me with my compact digital camera taking photos of everyone. I much prefer being on this end of the camera instead of in front, dont you! :o )



Daniel was sitting directly accross from me at the table so was right in my aim of fire. Have camera, will photograph. LOL!! Here he is with his facial xmas fur as I like to call it. It’s the only time of year that he has enough time of work to actually grow a goatie. You see, in the air force facial hair other then a mostache isn’t permitted. All males have to be clean shaven every single day for work.


Here’s Heath & Jason (Heath’s Partner). This was the very first time that we’d all met him and have to say that he’s lovely. After all the antics that were going on whilst they were there I’m sure he now think’s that our entire family’s crazy. LOL!!


Heath & Mick (Heath’s Friend) decided that after lunch they would relive live their childhood by playing in the sand pit. They looked some what a little out of place wouldn’t you say. LOL!!


And here’s two of my favourite boys just hanging out. Jett’s hair was being blown around due to the wind. Some days I do worry that if the wind were strong enough that he just might get picked up and blown away. Like Toto in the “Wizard of Oz. LOL!!


Then Heath got bored and decided he wanted to play a game. Next thing we knew he’d dragged out boules which is a french game played with metal balls. A first for everyone but a lot of good fun. :o )

Even Odin wanted to get in on the action of the game, he definitely bit off more than he could chew this time around. LOL!!

Overall the day was a huge success and much food, alcohol and good fun was had by all. :o )
