bit of advice from and for post op girls…

Awww hun, I know exactly how you feel!! I wanted to be up and about doing everything as soon as I could, but seriously try to take things easy, its frustrating because your mind is fine, its just your body will restrict you!! I had to go back to work 3 days afterwards, and working at Next is very demanding!! Especially because it was the Next Mid-Season sale, and sale times are always mad! Looking back now I wish I had rested, but it was either rest up or get sacked!!! That’s how Next is!

Seriously though hun, you will be feeling fantastic soon!!!! I absolutely love my new boobs, just really excited about christmas and buying new bras! hehe

Take care hunnie

haha, yeah. I’ve managed it, but wasn’t sure if I was being an idiot and there was a simpler way! thanx x

Hey weeze, I felt the same as you, but I think I managed to shave my armpits on day 4?? Can you hold your elbows up as if you were a chicken?? I know that sounds really weird, but thats what I did, just held my arms at should level! or, bend forward a bit, and round your shoulders over so you can get underneath your pits??? not sure if that helps hun!

Happy healing!

Hi girls, i’m 5 days post op now, just walked to the shop which is literally 5mins walk usually, had to phone my boyfriend when i was on way back through panic…

Found it really hard to breathe, my chest has gone really really tight and had shooting pains all arund my boobs…maybe i shouldnt have gone, but thought after 5 days i should be ok!

So to you post op girls, dont over do it, and take it really easy…

Just spoken to my PC and she’s speaking to nurse, waiting for a call back from the nurse now, everythings prob fine but i just want reassurance really, not sure if that shouldve happened or not! xx

Hiya thanks girls, yeah i’ve prob just over done it, dont actually feel all that good today to be honest, just not feeling myself i’ll get there tho x x

Awwww Sara, it’s so easy to over do it, and not realise it. I did nothing at all for 6 days, and only went out of the house on day 7 to go back to London for my nurse check-up. The round trip was over 5 hours, and i felt every bump in the road! But, by the following day (day i drove my car and went into work and felt fine.
Might have just been a bit too soon to go for a walk. Once you get passed your first week, everything starts to feel so much better. Just a few more days now :bigsmile: xx

hi sara take it easy hon, dont forget what you have been through, im 3 weeks now n been out shopping today, trying bras on n i had to come home, had enough, they were aching, it takes time to heal.. be patient n enjoy the rest..x

arr bless ya, thank hun x x

Lol.. You have a good heart.. You will be fine.

thanks hun…i am a worrier anyway which doesnt help! lol worry over the slightest thing…at least my mind has been put at rest a bit now…i’m obviously one of them that will prob take a bit longer to recover, not really a bad thing. Nurse said your only 5 days post op and should be going easy, i think i just assumed 5 days is quite a while and i should be feeling okish in myself, but no! lol x x

That is relieving.. I’m really glad your fine

Arr bless ya, thanks hun, just spoken to nurse, i’m ok, she said it sounds like i had a panic attack dont know why tough, prob went out too soon and over done it. Said what i’m feelin is quite normal and just to rest and take things easy…which i will now x x

Woo OMG… I hope your alright. Probably its just because its a new weight on your chest that your lung and body is not yet completely used to it yet.. Please tell us what the nurse says.. I just pray you are fine.
