Hi girls, dunno if anyone read my boobie diary lol… but I’ve kept track of everything that happened from the pre op up until today here…

Apologies for lack of paragraphs it seems like such a big mess of words now lol. But just thought I’d start a new topic cos I cant ever find it haha its always on like page 6.
So I’m day 3. sleeping fine propped up, key is tonnes of pillows, V pillow in particular! its amazing! and a hot water bottle near your bum lol. stops it from being achey.
Boobs are feeling quite heavy today though, swelling has gone down so far quite a bit and they’re even quite squishy which im so glad about! Still like cone shaped though but they’ll hopefully drop in the next 3 weeks cos I had overs. Macom makes them look pretty horrible tbh but I put on my ASDA sports bra and its a little bit tight over my incisions at the moment but def gives them a better shape so cant wait till I can wear it.
Had a bath today with lots of bubbles and smellies so I felt more human! Only upto my waist though and got my mum to wash my hair for me which has made me feel SO much better. Put on a bit of perfume and mascara (always works) and I feel less of a big ugly mess lol, I’ve still got 10 more days off work and hopefully if things keep going this way I’ll be ready to go back earlier!
So just wanna say girls everyone is different, i think im really lucky to be healing so well but dont be put off by some of the horror stories you hear. Its good to be prepared but it may not be as bad as you think
