I’m booked in Friday 3rd November and I’m so nervous! Please can you tell me how long you waited before washing your hair and doing everyday things? Xx
I was up and out 4DPO just took it easy – walked slower etc no heavy carrying – I went to the hairdrssers and got a blow dry 🙂 xx
Hi Hannah. I had my op today! Feeling much better than I thought I would, just going to try take it easy! Good luck for Friday and try not to be too nervous ☺️ Xxx
I’m about 14wks post op now, I washed my hair over the bath myself on day 3, I was just taking paracetamol from day 2-5 then nothing after just the odd day when I was a bit achey….. I’ve got 4 children single parent I had help for the first 3 days with lifting my 1 year old that’s it! I didn’t go out the first week though other than day 4 I walked to local shop 10mins n got bread walked back but the second week I was back to normal a lot less tight feeling still had morning boob n acheyness on n off till bout week 7-8 but i was def over the worse by day 4…. I had 450 partials from a small b cup xx
Also I say I was doing most things but I didn’t lift the hoover mow the grass or anything like that till past 6weeks (I could hoover wood floors coz it was easy n I just got my son to hoover upstairs for me….. I did light housework only, don’t lift heavy wash basket I just threw the clothes over the banister…. Just did the things I had to do n rested when I could xx
@hannah try not to be too nervous, you’ll be well looked after and surprisingly the day goes really quickly! I washed my hair over the bath at 5DPO. I had strapping on for the first week and tbh, I didn’t feel myself until this had come off. It was uncomfortable and restricted my breathing xx
Good look with your op @hannah you will be amazed at how fast the day goes. I am 3dpo and haven’t used any pain relief due to not liking taking medication. I would see how you feel and let your body tell you when its ready to do more things like showering and washing your hair. Having a blow dry at the hair dressers sounds like a genius idea girls I think I will be making an appointment today!
I washed my hair everyday with help from a friend and then washed it myself day 5 post op. It was a good 6 days before I started pottering about the house but didn’t hoover until 3 weeks post op xxx
