Hey girls.
Do any of you have over the muscle photos? I’m due to get mine done over the muscle and would be great to see some images of your experiences. I know a lot of the girls have had under x
Thank you for sending these molly!! They look so good. How is your recovery? Xx
Thank you so much! They’re still quite hard right now so I can’t wait to see what they look like when they drop and soften.
Recovery is going well. First few days I just felt really bruised and tight but I kept on top of my painkillers they gave me and by like day 4/5 I was starting to feel abit more normal. I just rested though my first week. This week I’ve managed to do my own hair and do a few jobs round the house. The key is to not over do it your body will know when it’s ready to do things. How are you feeling about your op? Where are you going for it? X
That’s good, it’s key to keep on top of painkillers and just rest for the first week alot of people have said the same.
Ah I’m so glad your second weeks been good, iv got my dry shampoo at the ready for week 1 haha. When did you have a shower?
I’m super excited, iv wanted this for so long so I’m very happy it’s only a week away now.
I’m not with MYA (don’t think I’m allowed to write the place) it’s in Manchester though xx
Yeh it’s so important to just relax and make sure you have someone to help you do things.
Thankyou it does get easier so just remember that on day 2 when your like ahh haha cause I think that was my worst day really. Haha yes you’ll need that dry shampoo I couldn’t have done it without mine 😂 I haven’t showered yet. I went for my 1st week post op on Monday she took my tape off and cleaned my incisions and put some more dressings as you can see on the pictures and I’ve got to keep them on until next Monday when I go back for my 2 week post op. I’ve just been having shallow baths and got my mum
to wash my hair over the bath. It’s so glamorous haha!
Amazing I’m so pleased for you! Do you have everything you need? X
Ah iv got a few people helping me at home so hopefully I’ll be okay. What did you find the most difficult not being able to do yourself?
Shallow baths is what I’m going to opt for so I can at least feel clean some where haha. Were you ok putting your head over the bath whilst your mum washed your hair?
I feel like I have everything. I just need to get my support bras now xxx
Oh amazing that’ll be really good then! Erm I’d say first thing in the morning getting out of bed was a struggle my husband would have to push me up to get me out lol and dressing myself he had to help me a lot with dressing myself for the first few days. And then things like cleaning the house were off limits and reaching up high or bending low.
Oh god yeh shallow baths have been my go to aswell. It feels so odd not being able to shower I can’t wait till I can.
Yeh I was fine doing the head over the bath I left it till week 2 to wash my hair which was horrendous for me haha but I held onto two towels to protect my chest against the bath and she brought a hairdressing cape to wrap round my shoulders and chest so I didn’t get anything wet, kept my bra and hoodie on too so was very protected.
Ah amazing!! Which ones are you going for? Xx
It’s getting so close now I’m nervous haha! I’ll have my boyfriend at home with me and family are close by too which helps so if I need help I can call them haha. How’re you feeling now?
I’m such a clean freak I’m going to do a mad clean before I go to the hospital 😂
How long do you need to wait untill you have a full on shower? Iv got my sister over on hair washing duty’s too haha.
I’m going to pop to M&S today, what have you opted for? My surgeon said to get 32D.. xx
