A post for all the girls pre and post op…. You know your better when?….

I have created this post because right now I am sitting here eating a cream egg with the biggest grin on my face… Sounds crazy right? But this cream egg has been sat beside my bed for four days, and I have been in a far too bad a state to eat it… Until now!

So I am sitting here thinking to myself, my god, I am finally though the worst and I can see the other side clearly now, that was tough, tougher than I had anticipated, but now I’m laughing!

So as a dedication to all those who have been through their ba, are still in the initial early post op days, or for those just researching or have their op coming up and who might be a little anxious, this is for you, everyone needs to join in and let us know ‘you knew you were better when’…. Whether it’s something normal or crazy, funny, weird or just as standard as standing up and feeling great, leave your comment below so we all know what we have to look forward to 😀

I knew I was better when… I picked up my cream egg and ate it!!

This is my first day post op and I feel terribly sore,numb,neck ache and back ache,I’m so glad to hear this will pass x

I could flush the toilet by myself ,,,, 4 days post op and sleep on my side at 4 weeks post op 🙂

I can make my own drinks get in the car and do my seatbelt as well as get dressed 5 days post op ☺️

I can go out walking without having to hold my chest for fear my boobs will fall off! X

I knew I was better when I was able to get out of bed and make it to the toilet with out my husbands help! Day 4

@sarah I would say this is my first day post op too. I went to theatre 8:30pm and was back at my room at 10:00pm. My boobs are sore where the drains were taken out but other than that I’m not doing too bad. what time was your op and what did you get done hun? x

I knew I was better wen I had op on Mon and had a nyt out on fri

I knew I was better when I could cut my own food up!!

I knew I was better when I could finally get into 5th gear!!!

I knew I was better when I could push the toaster down with 1 hand and not 2 … and also flushing the loo!
So glad to be driving again as well 🙂

I knew I was better when I could shuffle out of bed on my own, and I could lift my arms up above my head without being in agony.

When I could lift my arms up again and didn’t need help getting changed x

I can’t wait to do all these things… It’s the little things that count you don’t realise! X

Slept on my front last night , 8 weeks post op 🙂

Laugh, cough and sneeze without my chest being in pain. xx

I apologise for this one but I’m only being honest…

I knew I was better when…. After 11 days I could go to the toilet!!!

I knew I was getting better when I could pull my own knickers and bottoms up without being in pain and without the help from my boyfriend (day 3) haha! Also getting myself up out of a chair or bed, flushing the loo and pouring the kettle! I definitely took my chest muscles for granted, you don’t realise how much you use them in one day! I’m 2 weeks post op now and back to work, but looking forward to sleeping normally again at some point! x

Yea I must admit I am suprised how heavy a glass of water can feel!! Haha. Can’t wait to sleep normally, and wash my hair 🙂

i love this post!
thank you 😀
