Hey guys,

Just to let you know I am now 2 days post op and have just managed to have a shallow bath and wash/dry my hair with no problems at all (and by myself!). Still not taking any painkillers, so very happy about that! Just waiting for the swelling to come down a bit now…

Hi Smallen,

If it helps I’m a little worried as to why I’m not in any pain!!! Also whether I should be doing these things, but I kinda figure that if it doesn’t hurt then it’s ok? I’m trying to take it easy as I don’t want to mess up the final results!

Hard as nails is hilarious though, wish that were actually true!

Oh and does anyone have any advice for the swelling? I know rest and sleeping upright (and I know I’m only 2 days post op) but I’m getting impatient!

I’m impatient, too. Can we put ice on them? I want to know what I’ll look like!

I reckon do as little as possible. Maximum exersion should be feeding the ducks xx

They gave me ice packs at the hospital but I didn’t like the cold… My mum just offered me a bag of frozen sprouts…!!! Might give it a go though. Do you know how long the swelling lasts? I really want them to start settling so I can see how they’re going to look!

I’m gonna try some ice tomorrow, I think. When I went to pick my size there was a lady there one week post-op and she was saying that she was still very swollen so I think we just have to play the waiting game. I got myself a new top/dress thingy the day before my op and I’m dying to just try it against myself to get an idea of what it’ll be like. I’ve got a teach yourself French course to keep me busy. It’s not working. I want to dress up and be girly! xx

I know how you feel! The support bras aren’t exactly sexy either… I might try some ice too, it won’t hurt to give it a go. I’m on the DVD boxsets but I’m starting to get cabin fever!!! Xxx

Hey girls, a few ways to reduce swelling is applying ice packs a few times a day for 20 minutes, drinking plenty of water and a healthy diet and compression garments. Just read up about it now! Happy healing! xxx

Thanks Michelle, will give it a go. Have found I’m quite thirsty anyway so drinking plenty, and wearing the macom bra. Ice packs tomorrow it is then! Xxx
