Blondie30- Uplift question – did anyone else feel like a zombie at 2 weeks po??

I’m 17 days post op, and i’m feeling so unwell, had a terrible day today, in lots of pain, feel woozey, can’t concentrate and just want to sleep all of the time, i manage to do something for a very short time and then i just want to sleep.. thinking that my body is using so much energy mending all the swelling and trauma in the boobs that it’s running me down, but just want some reassurance that it does get better soon as I feel really run down and not myself at all xx

Aww Hun hope u feel better soon. I’ve been feeling like that, only felt better a few days ago xx

it’s rubbish isn’t it! I’ve been on alot of tramadol because my uplift incisions and the pressure and tightness was so painful, but i had decreased that in the last 4 days or so, so thinking it’s not the effects of the drugs anymore, must be my body’s way of healing itself, I’m just looking forward to feeling normal again. Glad you’re starting to feel better xx

I feel the same babes.. Thought I was getin better so cut down the trmadol altho its nower near as bad as the 1st wk! I’m aaaaalways tired!! Yeaterday I literally slept aaaal day, kept wakin then fallin bk 2 sleep jus so tired & I know that’s not the pain killers cos I only took 1! Wish I cud help with this but stil only 11 days post op xxx

at least it’s not just me, i’ve had a better day today, taken 3 tramadol which has kept me going but it’s so depressing feeling like this all the time! xxx

Ahh bless u huni, l can remember going bac to work feelin crap and groggy. Was only taking paracetamols and ibrofens. Maybe its the tablets that are making u feel bad. Could u take paracetamols? xx It will get better x

My head was up my arse for the first few weeks…took me ages to feel ‘normal’ again – sounds like the post op blues hun, i suffered really bad with it but it will pass….try and get as much sleep as possible (easier said than done i know) as not sleeping properly made me tearful and ratty!

It will get better hun I promise – just try and stay positive xx

I don’t think paracetemol would touch it but i could try, i dont think its the meds doing it as i had cut them right down anyway til last night. I’m back in work again tomorrow and have to train a new starter and hold a team meeting!! all i want to do is curl up in bed and sleep until i feel better! I can’t take more holiday or go sick xxx

Ahh hun l know what ur going thru l could not take time off or hol cause short staffed, if ur really not well could u not just go in do ur team meeting and delegate the new joiner to somebody else. U prob wont be much use xx

thanks Vicky, that’s a good idea, i think i’m going to try and do short days and

give out what i can to the team over the next 2 weeks if I can, I wasn’t prepared for how monged and emotional I’d feel!! xx

Monged is not the word eh, think l really needed 4 weeks off x

I ended up having 6 weeks off…my head was all over the place

they don’t warn you about this, hush told me over again that i had the blues xx

My blues just kicked in 10 weeks later, think its to do with the inlaws though family TRAMA!! My uplift maties ) x

It’s the most bizarre feeling, you just think that you’ll be a bit sore but nothing prepares you for the rest of it!! 4 weeks would be ideal! x

hey blondie….. tramadol make u realli drousey and sleepy and are also quickly addictive hun…… maybes thats ur problem xxxxx

I’m starting to think i might be addicted to them, as when i try and come off i feel shit, then when i take a couple, i’m fine for a day. How can i get myself off them without the shitty come down i’ve been having? xx

drop down one tablet every 2 days hun and persevere…… i wud really try that huni x did u see my comment on ur other post…. the strapless wonderbra u have…. £24 in debenhams xxx bargain xx

Ahh u poor thing Hope you feel better soon xxx

My husband broke his leg and was given Tramadol and he had to wean himself off them and they made him feel like you describe so i reckon it is the tabs. Hope you feel better soon hun xx
