day 5 feel crap,help !

five days post op and still can’t get up without getting a raw burning sensation. starting to wonder if it will ever go away, just lifting a glass of water is uncomfortable and my boobs are so ugly i won’t even put my pics on 😥 my bf says they’re gonna be great but i just feel so crap and they feel huge i’ve gone from a 34b to a very sore 38e and been told they might even get bigger! hope this is just the blues from being inactive anyone else feel this way please help xxxx

the pre-op nurse warned me that id probably hate them when they first done cos they will be massive wonky and sore… so try not be down babe im sure its just part of the gealing process xxxx

You have the dreaded blues honey,it will get better as the days pass,you will feel huge because you have’nt been able to resume normal activities,honestly it will improve,You will be sick of hearing give it time,but that is what you need to do,you have waited this long honey,a couple more weeks will fly by,and you will be amazed the difference it will make to everything.In a few weeks you will be offering advise to other who feel the same way as you do now,hang in there honey,the results will be worth it,big hugs.xxx

wise words from mumma t…..so i need not say anything else hun.sending big hugs xxxx

i am 18 days post op and still have pains in the morning but other than that feel GREAT xxx

thanks guys hate moaning it makes me feel so ungrateful but so few girls on here say they had any pain it makes me feel a freak,ive had three kids and thought i had a high pain threshold but obviously not just feel like crying all the time, i wanted this soo long don’t want to feel like this will try to snap out of it my daughters away with her dad for two weeks and i think missing her isn’t helping!! sorry for being such a depressive moaner xx

I felt very similar feelings around the 3 days p o. I was crying and upset at myself for my ingratitude. I was tetchy with the kids as I was so tired from lack of sleep. The pain killers were bloating my stomach and so I looked pregnant. I seriously wondered why I had put myself thru it. I was not prepared for the sleeplessness, the aching, the immobility, the anxiety, the bruising etc. I think the reason most girls say how smooth it all went is because when you come thru it you sort of forget it because the happiness of having a confident new body and lovely bras to wear all supersedes the few of weeks of pain, insomnia and worry. It will get better and you will feel normal again. I promise xxxx

thanks so much anchovie,it really helps to know that other girls have felt the same way xxx

Delouise- don’t worry, it’s all normal. For about 10 days after my op, my boyfriend actually had to pull me up by my arms, from the bed/couch etc, because I could not move without being in agony. It’s only now 12 days post op that I can do things for myself again. Not to mention the stabbing, burning pains I had- it honestly felt like my wounds were tearing or something- it was proper awful. You just need to relax and not do anything for now. You’re still early days so don’t push it. xx

thanks so much laurakate just arranged an extra week off work so will have more time to relax, just felt so alone but knowing that others felt the same makes it not feel so hellish did you have unders aswell?xx

Defo take more time off, even doing little things takes it out of you. No, I had overs. But I’ve heard unders are worse again. xx

Hi hun its not just youI feel the same i feel so big and wide i really dont want them to fluff as they say .

Its been really hurting all night feels like someones got a hot knife through my left boob can hardly move without being in pain .went the first few days feeling ok and now feel like im going backwards .

My left boob is still really swollen and hard i think when the nurse took the drain out it may have done some damage becaue it hasnt stopped hurting .Fely like she was pulling my arm pit out .

hope you feel better soon .

oh i’m sorry that you are feeling the same lisa but at least we both know we’re not the only ones and that it will get better, i only wanted a d cup and i’m already in an e so if they get bigger i’m not sure where i’ll end up lol i wore really padded bras in the lead up to my op so that no one would notice it (only told family and a couple of close friends) but i don’t see how i am going to hide them when i go back to work seeing as i work behind a bar!!i don’t want to be the topic of conversation there and for everyone to just see me as the one who had a boob job lol xxx

Oh Hun! I’m sorry! It’s definitely the boobies blues! I still get some burning pain when I get out of bed in the morning and I’m 5wks po!! Honestly it does get better! I was lucky and didn’t feel to bad, but I have a 1 and 2yr old to run around after!! Lol. Remember you will have swelling, especially as your back size has gone up as well it’s more likely to be swelling! Mine took at least 2wks to go down so keep your chin up Hun!! We are all here for you xx

Everyone is different at how they recover, hey look on the bright side you have been through the worst..it is real hard for you to take that in but i promise you it will get better. When i first saw myself in the mirror i thought omg what have i done to myself. I was so wide and like you I did not tell my family (apart from my son and daughter) i thought they looked huge, i got very emotional about my husband seeing them. we had been together over 26 years this was a dramatic change, i felt like a freak. The swelling did go down, the odd appearance did disappear and i started to feel a little better. I did not have little ones to run after, i had a moody teenage daughter who was embarassed by me and had no sympathy for me(even though she agreed with me i should get it done).you have it harder right now but you will feel better and begin to love your boobs and damn what anyone else thinks xx

thanks allie i have two teenagers but luckily they have been really supportive, and are helping me a lot.i know it will get better and just reading the replies i have had has made me feel so much better,thankyou to all you lovely ladies i don’t know what i would do withiut your support xxx

They will settle sweetie… 6wks post op you will be buzzing

xxx

thanks again guys 24 hrs later and i feel so much better positive mental attitude really helped and was poss thanks to your help and support xxxx

delouise what size implants did u have n was they unders ?? i hope ur feeling better huni xxx

Sounds like a good dose of the boobie blues! OH HOW I REMEMBER THAT! im nearly 2 years post op and i felt silly just crying and getting really upset about everything!!!!

Try keeping moving, sounds silly but if you dont do enough you will suffer more (if that makes sense) because you will stiffen up, take your time though….. no cartwheels across the living room or anything

Your ribs and upper body are all swollen after your op and you will find that your back size will start to reduce soon enough.

Get your V – pillow and get as much sleep at night as you can!

Hope your feeling better soon!

hi keri i had 375cc vh profile unders and feel much better today only taken one lot of paracetamol x
