Advice needed 4 days post op!

Ok so I had my new boobies done on Monday, 375/350 cc unders and I just want some advice.
I am struggling like crazy to sit up (so painful!) even though I sleep propped against a V pillow, I look and feel like a turtle stuck on its back! When I do finally manage to get up my left boob has a burning sensation which eases after a couple of seconds…. I also almost fainted today out of the blue! but I’m ok I just went and lay down for a while.
Also- my nipples often feel like they are being tickled (excuse the porno description) and I just generally feel a bit rubbish :/ are these things normal and how did you cope?
Any advice would be great!
Thank you 🙂

Totally normal hun , big operation. Lots of rest and happy healing xxo

Thank you Fiona 🙂 I think I just feel a bit whingey at the mo as I didn’t anticipate it to be this sore (very foolish and naive of me admittedly), but thank you for responding x

Totally normal 🙂 it’s a big operation and it’s just all part of your recovery – you’ll feel so many strange sensations over the next few weeks! I had the tickly nipple sensation too!! It was awful, I felt like I was getting electric shocks, but it was only in one boob it was so strange…
I almost fainted too one of the first times I got in the shower. Burning is normal too, any burning/stabbing/stinging sensations are all very normal and happen to most of us! I rang the emergency number a few times because I was panicking over little things – silly with hindsight but it’s funny the little things you worry about!
Try not to worry and happy healing 🙂 Make the most of being allowed to be lazy! xx

All normal hun! make sure your drink plenty of water and eat some fruit. Also don’t use your arms to sit up try just use your core. Its at its worst on day 3/4 so things will only get better now xxx

Thanks ladies 🙂 the sensations are very unusual indeed! I struggle to sit up with my core :/ sometimes I wish there was a button I could press that pushed me up, Ill get used to it though.
I will definitely make sure I enjoy my lazy days! 🙂
Thanks again you have both been a great help! xx
