Bubbles and bloating

Hi ladies,

I could swear someone mentioned this but I can’t seem to find it. I’m 2 days post op.

At the top on my right breast it feels like I have tiny bubbles inside. If I run my hand across its almost like there’s something inside me, I can hear and feel bubbles. Has anyone else got this?

Also I am ridiculously bloated, I feel extremely uncomfortable. Could this be the pain killers?

I’m not really in any pain though, apart from when I get in and out of bed if I’m using my arms. xx

The bubbles are normal post op, mine took about 4/5 days to go down! And the bloating for me was the worst bit! Are you taking codeine? It can make you really constipated! If you can manage with just paracetamol and ibuprofen, even better! If not, get some senna or some lactulose..they are only very mild laxatives and will help xx

I’ve been exactly the same hun, I’m fine until I try and get up to use to toilet etc.
Everyone I move I feel bubbles (glad this is normal) have you been sick at all? Yesterday I was and felt unwell all day but wondering if this is the codeine. So am just now keeping to paracetamol. As codeine has a lot of side effects. I’m also taking senna to help. Why don’t you try and get some.

What size implants did you go up to hun of you don’t mind me asking ? I’ve had 500’s and was told to have complete bed rest. It’s hard getting up and feel like I have to hold them when moving about lol scared they will fall out.
Hope your recovery is a speedy one xx

Hey sweet it was me who stated it in my last post, mine has gone down a lot if I push down above my implant I can still feel it just massage it gently that’s what I did and it’s gone down a lot. As for the bloated feeling it’s just constipation I bought some herbal tea from Holland and Barrett’s and couple hours later bowl movements went back to normal and my belly went down a lot. So I deffo regiment herbal tea x

Im 2days post-op aswell & the bloating is probably more uncomfortable than my boobs 🙁

Through the night is the worst bit for me too.. My left side is fine but my right boob is quite painful & feels like its fighting with my band lol

Hope your recovery goes well xx

Hey ladies!!!

Thanks god it’s normal. I was starting to get worried last night hence why I put this post up at 4am or something silly.

@XX..A..XX Yeah I was taking codiene but I’ve just woke up feeling no pain what so ever so I’m not going to bother with them. I’m badly constpatilated, I had a 6 pack which is now nowhere to be seen lol xx

I only had 250cc, moderate plus, partials @SAMANTHA they look slightly bigger this morning. Which I’m happy about. Xx

@DAISY I didn’t know if it was in my dream or real because I couldn’t find who said it lol weird. Ill try herbal tea. Thanks xx

Lol @NATALIE I’m completely strapped which I HATED at first but it’s not so uncomfortable now. Xx

Hi Ladies,

I’m now 5 days post op and the bubbles have gone down for me but the swelling has gone up and my breasts are now hard and square! LOL

Bloating is quite common with the painkillers and antibiotics. I also took herbal tea from holland and barrats. It’s usually really good but for some reason this time my body is fighting it and my tummy still feels sore.

Hang in there hun! The body needs to readjust and heal 🙂 xxx

LOL the boob journey is definitely a rollercoaster ride…. It’s scary and exciting!

All we can do is follow nurses instructions and pray we don’t have any complications.

Thanks for all the info ladies, it nice to know I’m not alone. And i wish you all a smooth boob journey xx
