Day 2 post op

So had my surgery Tuesday at highgate and now at day 2 post op and I’m only having my anti biotics along with paracetamol and ibuprofen, so very pleased that my pain isn’t bad enough for te pain killers they described as some girls on here have felt really down on them. Might be because I had overs so less pain? Not sure. I am stiff at times and struggle to move my arms freely but I guess that’s expected. My left boob hurts more than my right for some reason where the nurse pulled the drain out. I had drains and I’m all strapped up. Overall experience is good so far just really want to have a proper wash and for my hair to look normal again! So may attempt to get my husband to wash it for me! Should be interesting! Hope all you girls who have had a ba recently are feelin better today xx

How did you girls wash your hair without getting strapping wet?! X

Hi congrats 🙂 and i got my mum to wash my hair the 1st week as i didnt want to chance getting the bandages wet but then i started doing it myself over the bath and im still doing that now at 3 and a half week PO xx

Thanks I will try and get my partner to give a go later I’ve used dry shampoo but its just not the same! My strapping is really high as well so struggling to hide it under my clothes! X

Hi @Mez, glad to hear all is well after your op 🙂 I’m 3 days po, and really want to wash my hair, but if I’m honest I wouldn’t be able to lean over the bath or anything because the pain is at it’s worse today. It’s a bearable pain but noticeably worse than yesterday. I’m sticking with the dry shampoo till weekend and see how I feel then. I suppose this is the unglamorous side of a boob op, unwashed hair & lack of proper bath/shower, boobs under cover in sports bra/strapping, it’s a wonder the bf isn’t all over me!! 😉

I had the most amazing sleep last night though, I must’ve used every pillow/cushion in the house, and topped them off with 2 v pillows and I was out of it until 10am this morning!

Hope you are well today. xx Can I add you as a friend?

Yeah that’s the downside! Of course you can add :). I’ve been fine sleeping to although I used all the pillows! Glad your recovering well 🙂 x

Day 3 is definitely the worst day for pain! I’m day 4 now and pain so much better than yesterday. Happy healing boobie friends and just remember summer is just around the corner which means strapping tops, sexy bikinis and pretty summer dresses!!! X

im so jealous for u girls, wish i was day 3 or 4,but…. still waiting for my op which is this saturday xx

Don’t be jealous @linadri, it’s only 2 days away! Good luck xx
