5DPO 350CC UNDER

PROCEDURE DAY
I went in for surgery on Monday 01/05/17 at 12pm and come out at 2:45. Surgery went well and I ended up having 350CC on the left and right. I didn’t react to the anestetic very well and was sick a couple of times when I eat. I had to wait around 5 hours for Dr Fiumara to come out of surgery to give me the OK to go. I left the surgery at around 9:30pm.

I went to bed sitting up and woke up at 12pm in a lot of pain from where the drugs had worn off. I managed to get back to sleep and didn’t wake up until the morning.

PODAY1
This was very sore, a lot worse than expected. I couldn’t get out of bed without some help and I had to use a straw to drink. I barely wanted to eat and just eat what I could.

PODAY2
Slightly better but still in pain. The painkillers given was not reacting well with me due to not being able to eat much so I was sick a couple of times. I decided to come off of these and use normal strong paracetamol which helped.

PODAY3
I am slowly feeling better and I can slowly get myself up with the help of holding onto my legs as I sat up. Still a lot of pain but a bit more movement of my arms.

PODAY4
Everything is very tight and swollen. I can definitely feel a different in my breathing. Every movement I do I can also feel my right side pulling on my incision. The slightest movement was causing pain. Not sure if this is because the scabs are being pulled on. I felt really fed up, this is a lot harder than I expected. All I want to do is sleep comfortably but this is hard work! Especially when you arrange your pillows, lean on them and they’re not comfy so you have to try and work yourself back up again!

PODAY5
I have not long woken up and like every other morning I had “morning boob” which feels likey muscles are refusing to move and causes pain and very uncomfortable to move to get sat up. My incision on the right side still hurts with movement and hoping this gets bette throughout the day. Let’s hope things get easier from now on!

I know under the muscle is a longer process and is expected to hurt more. I would appreciate hearing everyone’s experience to see if this is all the norm! If anyone has any tips or suggestions then please let me know! x

I’m feeling exactly the same as you, the incision on my right just has small pains if I do something so I’m glad I’m not the only one.
In 5 days at the moment so can’t help too much with the long run but I’m feeling you.
I’m bored, frustrated and just want a really good stretch haha
Xx

Also sounds stupid haha but I feel like this band and stuff is just keeping them in and like pushing them so they can’t grow. I know I’m only day 5 but I feel like they’re still small and trying to be patient but I’m so bored I want them to hopefully get bigger.

Hi Hollie, I feel so much better now I have had the plasters changed and it’s not pulling at all now! Hardly any pain apart from it feels like I’ve done arm day at the gym and all my muscles around my armpits hurt. I feel like we can’t judge our boobs at all until we are at least 3-4 weeks in as they’re going to change so much. I’m just going to take weekly photos and see the changes and I’m sure it’ll help. I definitely feel I picked the right size as I was so scared of going too big. Defo wait for them to heal before you feel they’re too small 🙂

If this photo doesn’t work then check my Instagram to see if you feel mine are similar to yours xx

Ah I’m hopefully get mine changed tomorrow so that’s made me feel better!
Literally just got the be patient haven’t you, just so bored being in bed can’t wait to get out tomorrow.
I’ve followed you xx

You do, especially because we had under the muscle so we’ve got to give it a chance to settle. Tell me about it, I’m only just managing to go back to work tomorrow after having last week off too! Xx

I had mine done Thursday & im back at work on Monday. Hoping to get my strappig off tomorrow too! Im not used to sitting around like this, so bored lol im walking around like Tin Man at minute, it’ll all be worth it though i hope ha xx

Yeah I’ve hated not being able to stretch and walk properly! Slowly getting better but yeah definitely will be worth it! Xx
