Cooking xmas dinner, 11 days post op; will I be ok?!

I’m having 260cc overs on the 14th and have arranged for all our family to stay over xmas!

I’ll have my mum at hand but hope i’ll be ok to cook as long as I don’t overstretch!

Would be good to know of peoples recovery times after have over the muscle,

Sam

hey hun, everyones recovery is different, and over is supposed to be easier! i had 345 overs 15days ago, and i stil dnt feel like id be fully fit to cook dinner for 11! suppose if youve got someone to help, its not too bad. but id sat iv only started to feel alot better in the last 2days. but some people feel great after 3 days! wish i bloody did!! lol i stil dnt feel comfortable driving! xx

Hey. Ok I guess I need to be realistic! Its so true, my friend was at the zoo 2 days later but I am a bit of a wimp!

What size are you hoping for with 345? I’m a small b now and with 260 want to be a c cup. I’m pretty small being a 6-8 and surgeon suggested 230/260. Its another thing that confuses me! I’m now thinking about 300’s!

yeaa jst depends, n i have lupus, so any effect on your body..flu/operation, jst takes that bit longer to heal n proper wipes u off your feet. im in DD/E bras now, started at a B, n wanted no less than a DD so im v happy i absolutely love them! i think if u go for 300s u wil b bigger than a C, u wil probs go up 2 or 3 cup sizes. xx

aww that so cool. I think everyone panics beforehand! I’d be happy with a big b/c so think 260 will be fine. Looking at pictures is just so confusing as sometimes 260 can look the same as say a 365!

Still can’t believe i’ve booked it. I’m actually looking forward to being at home for a week and watching xmas films

I woulda been perfectly fine, even at 5-6 days post op and I had unders.. everyone is different, it’s not a pain, it’s more of an ache

gta say mine was pain, but mainly under my arms. yeaa it is hard wen lookin at peoples pics, all depends on back/ribcage size aswel doesnt it, so wot looks bigger on someone with a small back could look small on someone with a bigger bk.. i think thats right. gettin confused lol xx

hi hunnie im day 8 now and feel pretty much normal again just a few twinges here and there and im stopping myself lifting, strtching too far ect not because i cant its i dont want to do any damage i reckon youd be a.ok do cook dinner so long as people help get that turkey out of the oven for you xxx

aww thanks Nic. Yes i’ll just direct my bf and mum to do things and concentrate on the all important seasonings of things ha!

Its so good to hear of peoples experiences to prepare yourself, i’m starting to get over the dread now and become more excited!

xx

You no what I felt bloody awful for about day 2,3,4 and was thinking ‘this is never gonna end’ but you no what the days fly by and I can’t believe how fast things have changed my top tip… Sleep it off ha ha the days go quicker then you’ll be absolutly fine and loving your new shape before you no it!! Xx

Hi Hun I had overs and for the first 10 days I had no pain whatsoever I was so chuffed. Then thought I could lift this, lift that, stretch for things and by day 11 I was in so much agony I though I’d either done major damage or had an infection. Luckily for me I had only overdone it but needed complete rest for the next week and lift absolutely nothing. Luckily I had my mum helping during the day with my 18 month old son then my hubby took over at night. Please be very careful. Sounds like u have lots of helping hands just make sure they lift the pans etc. Good luck. x

Thank you girlies. Yes I’m going to rest lots for the week I have booked off and just watch festive films! I’ll have help at xmas too so will just have to be prepared lol.

I’m also stressing about my sizes, surgeon said to have 230’s but mya girl said 260 to avoid disappointment. The thing is I only want a full b/small c and people have achieved that with 230’s and I am quite petite. Such a big decision!

Sam ,

I’m after a full C and i was advised to go for 260 – 300cc’s i am currently a 32Bish 5″2 and weigh 7.5

I was told i could end up with a D. I think maybe 300cc would take you slightly larger than a large B/C

But if you do the rice test it will give you some sort of idea. (Fill the foot of some tights with 260g of rice and it will give you a rough idea)

Also when i was at MYA i spoke to a woman who had overs and said she felt fine afterwards and wasn’t even taking paracetamol, she was taking it easy though, but this gave me hope. She’d also had 410cc and i’d have thought the larger you go the more recovery time? – but don’t quote me on this
