4DPO update

Hi all, well im 4 days post op, pain not been too bad, most pain been my back from not being able to turn over when sleeping, and my stomach from the bloating. I went for a little walk yesterday must admit that was slow and painful ha, can’t wait til Friday when the bandages come off they are so tight think thats causing most the pain, plus I get to see them for the first time, how long before you start feeling yourself again? I need to get out and start doing stuff I’m not a lying round the house person.

Hi Kate I’m the same, 4dpo. I barely have any pain but I’m struggling with sleep for trying get comfy, I’ve tried propped it in the bed and using my recliner, I manage a few hours then I’m awake and can’t get comfy again! I was told I can lie on back and sides if I want to, but it just feels weird!
I’m not a fan of just sitting around either, I’ve been on a short walk each day and am hoping to get out a bit more with my boyfriend over the next couple of days coz he’s off work.
It is hard just sitting around, but I suppose we have to think that’s the best thing for us and our new additions at the minute!
At least you get to see yours on Friday, I’ve got 2 and a half weeks to wait! xx

Thanks for you reply thats made me feel so much better, I felt like I’m the only one that feels this and should be better by now lol, can’t beleive you have to wait 2 weeks I thought I had a long wait, I really can’t wait to see them I’m already in love with them and all I can see is nipples at the moment lol xxx

You’re welcome. I would imagine all of us who had the op on Friday are feeling the same. It’s cabin fever! Especially if you’re used to being out and about. I had tears to my boyfriend this morning before he went to work coz I just wanted sleep!
I think you can read all you can from people who’ve been through this before and try and prepare yourself, but you never know until you’re going through it!
I am really grateful that I’ve hardly had any pain or bloating. But the lack of sleep and being so sedentary is making me fed up!
But keeping things positive, I have no regrets at all! So glad I did it and can’t wait to see them!
You’ll definitely have to post pics once your strapping is off! How exciting!
I can’t even see my nipples lol! x

It’s so refreshing yo hear some one else is going through exactly the same I have hardly had any pain with the boobies but like you the lack of sleep is really getting to me I was really upset this morning too, I just can’t get comfty at all I’m getting max of 4 hours and then I’m awake then I’m stuck in all day on my own so I just feel so fed up, but I’m so grateful I got to have it done and I would do it all again knowing how it’s going to make me feel when I’ve finally heeled, so glad there are places like this so that when you are worried you can ask people who are going through the same thing if its normal xx

It does help to know someone else is in the same boat!
Are you completely by yourself or do you have someone at home? It’s nice when my other half comes home, but then I don’t have much to tell him about my exciting day! Haha!

Definitely very grateful for this forum! x

Ha that’s what I’m like normally I don’t shut up but being stuck in I have nothing to say to him I end up saying I got to the toilet alone today ha, my hubby is looking after me but he hasn’t got any holiday left so he had Friday and the weekend off but had to go back this week so I’m so bored I’m normally out at work at 7 and don’t get in til half 5 so this is so boring, what size did you have? Mine are 300 mod profile and unders, I was happy he got the 300s in as he said i might be too small and might have to have 250/270 but cus they were going under I was worried about losing a lot of the implant and them being too small xx

Ah that’s good.
It is really boring! I keep thinking I should be grateful for the time off work! If you have Netflix, ‘The Good Place’ is a good series to watch, doesn’t take much concentrating! 🙂

I had 495 hp overs. I was thinking they might be too big, but I’m liking how they look so far, I just wanted some upper volume without going huge and I think he’s done it!
It’s good that he managed to get you the 300s! Can’t wait to see them! 😀

Ohh thanks I will have to try watching that might make the time go faster, when I first started researching I was looking for about the size you had but when I saw my surgeon he said it wasn’t possible at all, I hardly had any breast tissue, I have never had big boobs but after breast feeding my two boys they wenr from small to nearly there empty sacks, reminded me of those little bean bags you used to get at school got empty, hated them couldn’t look at myself i would get dressed as fast as I could so my hubby didn’t see me naked, I am so very grateful that I have been able to have this done, I have a heart problem so didn’t think i would ever get to be so lucky I know it’s going to make me feel so much better about myself, you can’t tell in clothes I’ve had any thing done because I wore bras so padded lol but I know now they are all boobs so I just love them I’m so excited for summer, and I’m going to learn how to swim too as I can’t swim very well at all as I’ve never wanted to go due to lack of confidence, sounds so dramatic but this really will chance my life xx

Ah that’s great! Definitely learn to swim, you’ll feel amazing when you start trying on costumes and bikinis! 😀
Mine were just empty from weight loss and competitive body building, in a good bra they were ok, but would never have any cleavage and bra-less they were just horrid, I nicknamed them ‘the floppies’ haha! xx
