    Hello – I had my op at Fitzroy yesterday, apart from tablets given drains taken out my boobs and out my hand I then left a but like ok… I did not realise how much my partner would have to help me with washing me this morning, putting on clothes, helping me on toilet brushing my teeth literally everything!
    I can barely move its so sore and tight I have straps on and the bra but do MYA phone me to organise straps off or do I phone them? I’m taking the meds which make me feel drowsy for an hour then I go to sleep and it goes back to agony when I wake up. I underestimated the pain I would be in – is this normal
    Also I got over 400c but my boobs are so pointy I didn’t want my boyfriend to see them will they go down I don’t want pointy boobs this is why I asked for overs lol I would take a picture but u can’t even unzip my hoodie!!!! 🙁

    I am exactly the same! I am usually quite good with pain but no way did I think it would be this bad, I had 500cc unders on Wednesday, literally can’t even sit up on my own I hate how I’m feeling !!! Xx

    Me too! I had overs and honestly thought I’d be fine but yesterday was day 2 and I was so sore! I feel better today but they’re still so tight and swollen. I had drains after my op and I think the holes from them are causing a fair bit of discomfort. Hopefully it will only get better! X

    Are yours pointy and swollen, I bet my boyfriend can’t wait for me to feel better, I emailed my consultant and nurse has now text me to meet on 12th- hopefully I get the straps off.
    My face is so spotty and my hair greasy no wonder people say they feel down after the op!!
    I know it will be worth it bla bla bla but seriously it’s so sore :(!! Xxx

    Mine don’t seem to be too pointy but I’ve been to weak to even have a look at them properly, God I feel so poorly! I really hate this I feel awful, this Macom bra is so tight I don’t know if it’s this what’s making me feel so shit, digging in all my sides, can’t wait to feel better now! Xx

    When is your next appointment?
    Yeah I don’t know if I’m meant to loosen the straps on bra but I have no energy to take it off again
    I keep passing wind but so constipated my belly looks like I’m expecting triplets lol
    I think I would of waited a while longer if I knew it was this painful I don’t know if I can handle this ;( and other people don’t seem to be in much pain I don’t understand y I am in so much

    I’m back on Wednesday for my first week check up, yeah I’m the same I’ve not been able to go toilet yet but don’t really want to as I am still struggling with my arms, monique are you in a Macom bra? Because honestly last night I didn’t think I was able to cope much longer but sent my boyfriend out for a m&S bra and honestly I feel like I can breathe so much better, it’s still very tight but has helped loadsss!! This mornin I managed to sit up on my own too from bed so I hope I’m on a road to recovery now cause I can’t deal with the pain anymore!! Xxx

    Why does no one discuss this pain to this extreme lol
    I can sit up myself now but it feels like I’m doing a work out and will have abs by tomorrow lol!!
    I’ll go order one online what type of bra u get from M&S?
    So much for this bra being the best one out there

    I feel a little better only because I have took less medication it was making me a different person being faint etc!!
    Socks came off the first night I couldn’t hack them I just move my feet around and put cosy socks on them
    I’m hoping to feel better today please god !!!!!!!

    Tell me about it! I thought I was being extremely dramatic because hardly anyone says its this bad !! I’m glad I came across this post (sorry haha) just to know it must be normal!!
    Try the high impact sports bra, honestly it’s helped me loads. Still achy but I am managing a hell of a lot more than yesterday, I feel gross gonna attempt a shallow bath today, not washed properly since Wednesday morning! This is the most unattractive I’ve felt in a. Long time ha ha & oh yeah the stockings!!!! I thought my bleeding right foot had fell off in the night, how these are helping I don’t know!! xxx

    Hi, I’m 4 days post op and thought it was only me in agony! I’m sorry you are having such a hard time too, but it’s nice to know I’m not the only one. I didn’t expect quite this much pain and have really struggled with it and the bloating and everything. Hoping it’ll ease off a bit now. Good luck ladies.

    Feels good knowing I’m not the only one in pain too!!!! Lol
    I was on my own today and washed my hair in the sink with a cup because the dry shampoo was making me so itchy my head was starting to bleed. I didn’t manage all that well but I feel about 5% better after it lol xxx
