    i had my op last friday so 7 days post op. i am still in a lot of pain and severely bloated.

    i got my tapes off yesterday which was such a relief but my right scar is still quite raw so dressings on again and more rest until tuesday when i get another check up with the nurse. my left breast is slightly swollen too. i cannot describe the pain i have had in my left side. where my drains were is giving me a horrendous deep aching pain and keeping me awake all night. i have been getting a stinging pain in my left breast on and off too, which i have been told is normal. when they both kick in though, it reduces me to tears! and i thought i was tough!

    i was not blown away like i thought i would be, the first time i saw my new boobs :-( i thought they’d be bigger. i was a 34 b and got 460 unders. the sports bra im wearing is a 36dd and has a lot of room in the boob area. i thought i’d be a dd/e cup. will they get bigger???????? i sincerely hope they dont shrink!!

    just a bit gutted. never thought i’d say that :-( xx

    Hun, this sounds exactly like how I felt, freakishly, I also had 460 unders from 34b and I think you had Mr K too?? I was in a DD sports bra until week 6, when i got measured as a 32FF so dont pay too much attention to your size right now. If its a 36 back size then it will seem big on you anyway if you are normally 34in.

    You will be feeling a bit p.o blues around now chick so kep your chin up, things DO get better, honest :D

    I had awful pains until about day 12 and swelling til about 2-3 weeks at the sides like you and still get twinges now at 12 weeks p.o. It’s completely normal hun.

    Your boobs do not look anything like they will in weeks/months to come..keep your chin up, its all VERY worth it :D

    Forgot to mention, you will feel bloated until about 10 days chick, give it a few days after you have finished your meds .. take painkillers if you need them, I did xx

    It’s all normAl. I felt really pathetic cos all the girls on here were going back to normal lives and no pain etc. Ithink we are all just different. I took around two weeks of feeling uncomfortable and bloating then I stopes the pain killers but still had plasters on and didn’t feel great for another week so week three I started to feel more normal Tomorrow is my four week mark and last night was almost a proper sleep so give yourself time. Don’t push yourself. It will all be behind you soon. Don’t expect too much of yourself. I too think mine seem small but my husband says they’re enormous. I tried on my old bikini and couldn’t even button it so I think I’m imagining things. You’re tired and anxious. Hav Patience and be easy on your self as u heal xxx
