It is so nice to see a board on here about breast reduction. I had my surgery on monday , and have been feeling pretty good. I really didn't have a shock of how little they are . I am trying to deal with how they look. I took a shower yesterday and was mortified. I am trying to tell myself that I just had it

Congratulations on having the surgery!
It does take a while for your breasts to come into their real shape. I know I was a also a little put back at how they looked, especially my nipples, but soon the scars fade and soften and you will love it. Be patient and be careful not to overdo. Listen to your body; when it's tired, you should rest. I am sure once you get moving around and back into your routine, you will see how much better you feel without the big beasts on you. I know I stand straighter now and have been told how happy and taller I look.
Keep us informed of your progress. We're all here to share and help.

I wasn't lucky enough to stay overnight. I think you will still be in a bit of a fog the next day; not alert enough to drive.
