    Eurgh I am 3 days PO and have swollen everything.. Including my face ?!! I just look so puffy, I knew I’d look like sh*t lol but this is really bad. Is it normal ?? And also does anyone have anything to help with blisters ? I feel about five new ones pop up under my strapping but I can’t do anything it’s sooo annoying 🙁 :(. Can’t wait til I can stop moaning and finally enjoy my new boobies but so far so had this with this recovery :(. Take my paracetamol then after about 5 mins my right boob is giving me grief again. It’s that painful I can’t stand up straight so end up looking the hunch back of notre dam! Anyway rant over. Gonna try and totter over to the toilet all by myself lol xxx

    I’m feeling quite poorly today. Day 2 PO. I keep getting pains at the top of my stomach / bottom of ribs and it makes me feel really sicky. Don’t know what it is bit makes me feel like it’s difficult to breath in a sense.

    Aww thanks Paige. Was beginning to worry that it was just me. I suffer from panick AT&T ks so the feeling of not being able to breathe properly isn’t good. I have to force myself into a nap and that’s the only way it seems to go away. I’ve never had a general before so didn’t know how if react. Parents said it may take a few days to get out my system. My husband isn’t back to work until a week on Thursday so he’s looking after me 🙂

    Aww that’s good Helen. Just take it as easy as you can ! Sleeping is the best thing you can do right now as of course the body repairs itself. I think the first 2 days are without a doubt the worst. You’ll soon get used to the tight feeling and it will get so much easier don’t worry ! Are you in strapping? Take care x

    No just some large plasters over my incisions and then my support bra on. Just had a small tea so feeling a little better after that. Can’t believe how numb they are though. Although definitely worth it.
    Thanks for all your advice Paige. Really helps. X
