Few Questions xx Started by: pinkfly7

I would go for it like you said you keep putting it off id go for the 20th dec I’m on 17th dec and have a 4 year old son treat yourself to an early chritsmas present xx

Hello hun I got you pm but thought it was easier to reply to you on here! (I was actually going to anyway before you pmd me lol)
I have a little boy who is 13months (I also have a step son who is 8!) how old are your children? I was like you in two minds about getting them this side of Xmas much like you are but I think really it depends on what support you have? There is no way I’d have gone ahead without my other half and mum to rely on! I honestly could not have done it without them!!! What size are you now? Are you having overs or unders? Anything under the muscle is more painful so again you’ll have to take this into consideration what with having children and being so close to Xmas! I had partials and see
To be healing well it feels exactly like when your milk comes in! X

I had Natrelles 415cc soft touch high profile overs, but with Dr Traynor. Feel free to add if you like 🙂 xx

@pinkfly7 I’m having dr chanterzak and im at high gate can’t wait and mya have been really good when ever I have the slightest moan there always there ringing me which is amazing Im hoping ill be ok for chritsmas and from what I read girls generally seem to be ok after first couple of days so I think your be fine for chritsmas and if I could have done it that quick I deff would of done let me m is what you decide x

am 20th dec & have a 2 and half year , a cant wait xx

It sounds like you have a good level of support hun so I’d be inclined to go for it! You’ll be surprised with how much you can actually do to be honest! I’m 4 days post op today which will be you Xmas eve if you go for it and I can do most things apart from lift my baby (although he managed to get half way up the stairs when my other half popped out to walk the dog and my instinct kicked in and I lifted him onto my lap without thinking about it and it didn’t hurt as much as I’d had thought) just stock up on ibuprofen and paracetamol and I found my hot water bottle to be a god send and you can get this ibuprofen gel for your back and neck as they’ll feel quite stiff!
I think you’ll be alright to prep all the veg etc just won’t be able to lift anything too heavy like any massive roasting tins! Haha also do you have a slow cooker? I have found mine to be so useful since having my op as you can chick everything in it in the morning and then when your hubby is home at least dinners cooked! It’s all little things that help you out and just make it a but more bare able! I’m not one to sit around not doing anything so you still feel at least like youve been able to do something!
I’ve done all my Xmas shopping online this year as I didn’t know how I’d be post op! But so long as you complete all the shopping etc before I’m sure you’ll be ok! How old are your little girls? I’ve found that my step son has been trying to do more for my 13month old since my op too so maybe your girls will be able to give you a hand? If you have any questions this forum literally is the best place!!! Xxxx

Do what feels ryt if yiu have support and its on the 20th u still have five days but as kaydee said its all good sayin ull b fyn before having had surgery but only untill u have will u no how u will recover..i had unders so generally more painfull n recovery tym req and i found it tuff for first five days but i had two children alone from day two if i had my husband here i wouldnt have had to lift a finger and would have found it sooooo much easier but sayin that i still couldnt stretch to do nything for good five days or sleep for days.If u have enough support n can get ur shopping done pre op u will probably cope fyn.Good luck xx
