Day 2 after op

Day two after op and feeling very sick sore and fat! I have been moving around as much as I can been shopping yesterday and shops and pictures today. My bf has been helping me out a lot but today told me maybe I should be moving my arms around up and down a lot to get them moving properly again so I thought he was right but now I have more pain under my right armpit and down my side. I just don’t know what to do for the best? x

Day 2 seems a bit early to me to be doing so much, I’m day 8 and tried a trip to the supermarket and I was knackered when I got home and I didn’t even lift anything! Ha ha I’d say take it a bit easier for a few more days xx

I just can’t rest I’m a very active person this is killing me lol but Deffo need to today my back is aching me. Everyone keeps saying I should be eating but I just don’t feel like it and feel very sluggish and bloated x

Hi Danielle! I’m like you- sitting still has been driving me crazy and i also feel really fat!

I’ve managed to get through the first few days by inviting people round for a brew so i’ve still seen people but effectively have been sitting still! I also went for a very slow walk on day 2 and got a facial! I think you just need to distract yourself otherwise you’ll do too much! I’m also sitting online and putting all my old stuff (that won’t fit any more) on ebay- time consuming but passes the time and will hopefully get me enough pennies to go to Victoria’s Secret and treat myself when eek 6 finally comes around!

Hope you feel better soon! Day 2 + 3 were definitely my worst. I had my op 1 April and I’m feeling much better this morning after a good 8 hour sleep! it looks like some of the water weight is dropping off as well now 🙂

Hi fran, I think I’m getting frustrated now still can barley move and hate depending on people glad your feeling better now I hope I am tomorrow abit better x

Hiya chic, I’m on day 4 now and I haven’t been able to move with out getting burning pains under my arm and all over my boobs, I gradually started moving my left arm and its fine, but have kind of forgot about my right arm and the slightest movement sends burning pains on and around my boob, I rang the nurse this morning and with being day 4 I should be tying to move ad its stiffening up but if I was to give you any advice I’d rest now then start doing things for yourself that how the nurse put it, or even ring Out of hours and ask 🙂 they’re really friendly xxx

Im chilling all day today girls but still going to try getting things for myself just not too much hopefully tomorrow day 4 should be a better just didn’t know if I was over doing it for my first few days or is that what you should be doing its hard to tell when I feel ok some hours then not the next x
