    I had my op yesterday 350 unders. I came round really bad from anaesthetic, really dizzy and sick for hours. They only gave me paracetamol as I can’t have cocodamol. I can get tramadol off a friend but t know what strength is ok to take?? Gp haven’t got anyone for me to talk to so not sure what else I can do. Ice is helping a tiny bit

    Hi Jade, I took paracetamol and bags of ice wrapped in a Tea towel.
    I was told no ibuprofen too. The first few days are a pain but it goes so quickly. Take it easy too. Xx

    Thanks Hayley, I tried tramadol and ended up spending most of yesterday being sick couldn’t even hold paracetamol down. I feel a little bit better today, been taking my bra and breast band off when I wake up just to gig with myself a bit of relief and. It has helped too

    I’m on day 4 feeling a little more alert today not so drowsy or spaced out, my appetite is increasing slowly like I could eat a bag of crisps earlier! Chuffed! I usually don’t stop! When am I likely to feel more mobile??

    It all depends on how much rest and fresh air ur getting everyone is really different tbh. I wasn’t in any pain and was fine with paracetamol and I had an uplift too. Get plenty of fruits and fresh veg plus protein to help ur recovery too much salt isn’t good or caffeine whole ur healing but by day 5 I felt more myself. Flush out the meds by drinking a glass of water every hour as it usually the anesthetic tht keeps I feeling ill and drowsy.
