Very pointy and hard. Nipples and skin is sooo sensitive, hard to breathe due to muscle tightness but can’t wait for them to drop and fluff as still very high.. Anyone know when they will loosen up? As I feel like I’ve got a tonne of bricks on my chest ?
I felt the same!! For about a week unfortunately 🙁 only just getting back to normal really and I am 31days post op xx
Are you using ice?? I’m currently on day two too!! I feel like it’s so tight and they feel so so high!! The breast band is actually killing me!! ?? still taking tabs every 4 hours to!! Hope you heal soon hun xx
I’m still in loads of pain on day 2! Taking meds on the dot every 4 hours … Finding it better to move around every so often to get the muscles moving – just like getting out of bed and walking for 5! Band and bra is sooo tight and uncomfortable :/ defo got it too small!! Are we supposed to wash the breast band as well as change the bras ?? My pics won’t upload either so put them on my profile 🙂 before 32b after 300/325 cc xx
Is it normal to still be tired? I’m PO day 3 xx
I am sammie, fighting to keep me eyes open even when I’ve had a really good night sleep. My other half thinks I’m milking it but I genuinely can stay away for more than a few hours
Anyone else itching like mad all around the incisions? It’s driving me nuts!! I can’t even feel the ice packs through the strapping to help calm the itching.
I’m starting to itch too!!! The pain is loads less today but still painful! A few random shooting pains ?? hoping tomorrow it will be loads less… Swelling has gone down today though X
I know I have to have a sleep every few hours! I also feel sick anyone else had this? Not sure if it’s the antibiotics?xx
I’m itching and so sleepy! Also feel sick too but when I nap it helps.. think it might be all the strong pills 🙁 xx
I’ve been definitely sleepy! I know what you mean about the tonne of bricks on your chest! Feels so heavy! xx
Hi, I’m nearly 3 weeks post op and for the 1st week I slept constantly, I was awake for a few hours then asleep for a few hours, this went on all day everyday for a week, it does get better tho, listen to your bodies if they need to sleep, definitely do it, get the rest whilst you can ladies x x x
Is any one else having loads of pain in their arms and upper back? I even find it painful having a conversation because it’s straining my chest! I’ve been taking 1 painkiller every 2hrs because I find taking 2 at once just knocks me out.
Also I feel like my boobs are just under my armpits? Does anyone else have this lol?
Anyway, Happy healing! X
I’m getting all this girls and this is the third day ?? sleepy all the time and keep waking up about 5 every morning ? incisions starting to get itchy now and bra n strap is so tight and uncomfortable !! Any one taken off their bra and strap for a breather and a wet wipe or are we strictly meant to keep it on ??? Xx
I take my strap off every 3 hours for 10 mins!! I don’t know if your meant to but i literally can’t stand it it’s so uncomfy I don’t think I’m doing any damage its just so uncomfortable… I took my bra off for 5 mins last night to have a shallow bath! Just needed a little breather. xx
Aw thanks @sammii ! So scared to do anything yet I think I just need to man up.. Haven’t had a shallow bath yet cz I’m too scared I won’t be able to get out so just using the sink and flannels ! Still wearing my Macom which is killing me so think il change that to a sports one today! I can feel my right boob and nipple but absolutely no feeling in the left ? still swelling like mad …. Xx
I’ve changed my Macom to a sports bra and I felt the difference straight away! Sports ones soo much more comfy! I also have no feeling in my left!!xx
Can you feel anything yet Sarah? I’m 2 days post op and my nipples aswell as boobs are numb! Swelling is crazy in the middle of my boobs just feels like water! Worried I’ve not drained properly and I’ll never feel my boobs again haha my bra is so tight too I’m considering buying another It’s leaving marks on my boobs but how tight are they meant to be?! Xxx
