    1) apply palmers before op (weeks before to make skin easier to stretch)

    2) make sure.u have somone for ur first week

    3) do not hoover at 5 days po like i did

    4) do not compare urself to everyone else… I did it made me :(

    5) beware of the post op blues! They hit hard!

    Not sure whether they have to be ones that no one else has said already but will do my personal top 5

    1) Bio oil before op, at least 1 month day and night

    2) Have someone help for for everything (including pulling up your pants haha) for at least a week

    3) Get a binder, a strip of material that pushes ur boobs together. cLoses gap quicker

    4) Looooads of pillows to support back. I didnt have enough but my bf gave me his too :)

    6_ wax everywhere that u are brave enough to as immobile for a while

    I wish..

    1.. I’d not thought it was going to be excruciating pain cause it actually wasn’t but I carried on taking tablets till day 3 which were actually making me feel more crap than the op itself.

    2. ..I’d known that they weren’t going to look perfect from Day 1, obviously you’ve seen this forum pre-op, I only found it post-op and didn’t realise how different everyone would look and how long they could take to settle.

    3.. I’d known about the bloating and boobie blues as I just assumed i’d put weight on and made myself feel even more rubbish than the blues made me feel.

    4… other than that, my only wish is that I’d done it sooner!!! :) Good Luck x

    So … This bloating what causes it ? And why the blues ? Is it just you saying bye to the old you ? I had baby blues , infact I ran a PND group … Never thought about it making me feel blue … Maybe a little sorry for my self with the pain … :)

    I did not prepare for the bloating or blues…..expected to bd on cloud 9 after op and actually felt totally miserable :( I think also I expected them to be perfect from day one which is just not the case. Xxx

    i felt rubbish for a bit as the recovery slowed down a fair bit after about 3 weeks but i still did not have full mobility. Think i was just peed off with not being my normal self for so long plus a little of boob greed. The bloating was horrible, i felt like a fat lump and i couldnt pull in my stomach muscles properly as it hurt as was attached to under boobs. grrr, feeling better now though at 4 weeks xx
