2 days post op really struggling Started by: Megan

Hi megan, i totally understand where your comming from, i am 7dpo and had the week of recovery i never want to repeat. Its been so much more then i anticipated and have even had a few breakdowns of why have i done this to my self.
I have been so unlucky to get a full blown cough cold and throat infection days after the op, that in it’s self has knocked me of my feet. I struggled for days with constipation pain regardless the amount of laxatives i had been taking days previously and again that’s a pain i dont want to repeat.

I am a size 8 was a 32a before and had 250 implants partial under and over the mucle. My consultant told me that was max size i could have due to my skin tissue and size, i feel maybe this isnt helping my recovery , my skin is still very tender and i can imagine been stretched.

Sleeping and positioning wise i struggled the most with what ever way i sat i couldn’t get comfy and found even now hard to lean on one side.
Its true what everyone says which has helped me strongly reading everyones stories. It does get better.
Im 7dpo and can see a massive improvment in my self, i am still feeling latheargic (but im feeling that bug related finally getting out of my system) .Today i have done alot more around the house so started to actually feel usufull, but have had to sit down now as i feel drained.
Past two days i can put my own t shirts on with out my husbands help and even managed to reach into a cupboard of a plate .(haha simple things we take for granted in life) i still have a very long time to recover and still at 7dpo worrying how slow my recovery is compared to other ladies exeriences. My husband goes back to work sunday so i have two kids (one 4 months old ) to look after alone , im panicking i cant do it.

Im the same as you, my left boob gets sharp stabbing pains and still does ,alot more uncomfortable then my right breast. I have my check up tmw so looking forward to finally taking this tight bra off and see them.

Stay strong , well both get there im sure x

I’m 2 weeks post op but the first few days were horrible for me! I was getting pain in my lower back from being sat and lay down so i just couldn’t get comfy for days, i still have some discomfort now but i promise you’ll be over the worst of it in no time! Xx

I’m only 1 day post op and the pain in my breasts is bearable, just sore and tender. The real problem I’m having is with my back. I don’t know whether I slept funny after my op last night but no matter how hard I try I can’t get comfortable because my back hurts so much ☹

Thanks Megan I’ll try that tonight. I’ve got a V pillow and a bed wedge but everything just hurts! Ha x

I had overs and was in a lot of pain for the first week, I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t get up off the sofa and I too had horrible sharp pains in my right boob every time I moved my arm or tense my muscles. Week two is much better!!
