Hey ladies I tried uploading my story with some photos but it doesn’t seem to have worked and it was pretty long and I don’t feel like I have the energy to write it all again just yet so will just say how I’m feeling 48 hours later.
The pain is pretty much still the same as it has been since the op the cocodamol does really help however bloating and constapation is a real pain so trying to find some laxatives to help before it gets painful. I’m finding my left boob hurts more than my right not sure why but the nurse said you almost have to treat it as two separate surgery’s. Iv tried to pretty much rest ever since however I’m finding I’m more capable of doing things then I thought like I can just about change myself need help doing up jeans though and can go to the toilet and stuff but sometimes I think maybe I’m overdoing it so trying to just do nothing now.
So far very happy with the look of my new boobs just can’t wait for the pain and tightness to stop and to get all this bloody pen off ?
If it works this time here is a picture 1dpo ?
Il try pic again
Hi Clemency,
sounds like your recovery is going ok. Hope it is speedy. what did you have done size wise and who was your surgeon xx
Clemency they look great already!
Well done. Your story and recovery sounds kind of like mine, probably cuz we are on the same stage.
Glad you’re happy with your new boobs, now don’t force yourself for anything even if you feel fine. I tried to be more independent and ended up with stronger pain at the end of the day.
But you’re doing very well xx
I had 325cc round implants, high profile over the muscle.
Yes monica it’s nice having someone going through it all at the same time as myself. How are you finding the tightness of it all? Sometimes I feel it’s the bra that’s squeezing me so tight? Have you been told to change your bra and wash it daily? I was but I ordered a second bra from m&s which wasn’t even close to fitting so haven’t changed it yet going for a fitting tomorrow to save keep ordering them and them not fitting. How are you getting on with sleep?
They look fabulous already! Congratulations! I hope you manage to feel more comfortable soon. The bloating and constipation was definitely the worst part for me. Once that is relieved and out of the way then you should feel so much better. Try to enjoy relaxing and resting a bit while your body takes care of the healing.
Wow they look amazing!!! Bet you are so happy with them I’m happy having 400cc unders on the 29th hope they turn out like yours?xx
Wow clemency they look amazing bet your so pleased can i ask what your taking for the bloating and constipation? I have my surgery in 4 weeks carnt wait xxx
Hi Clemency,
The tightness is so unpleasant. My bra seems too small and I’m just squeezed in there. Boobs get very hard at night and during the day if I move too much but the pain is weaker than before.
I changed my bra yesterday. Bought two from MYA so can wash one while wearing the other one.
Sleep is surprisingly good. I wake up only once or twice at night. I sleep on single recliner sofa so the angle is just perfect plus I support myself with v and neck pillows plus I’ve got pillows under my bum and legs. Quite stiff feeling in the morning but doesn’t keep me long.
How’s your sleep hun? Were you asked to wear compression stockings post op? Xx
Thank you everyone. Its day 3 and my left boob is still pretty sore my right however feels fine.
I’m taking that lactulose and some natural senna tablets but I still haven’t been able to go yet I’m still not in pain with the constapation just real bloated!
Iv got one of those triangle pillows too was the best thing I could have brought has helped me stay propped up in bed and been sleeping quite well.
Yea i have been wearing my compression socks ever since surgery haven’t removed them yet. Might take them off for a little tomorrow so can have a little wash starting to feel a bit gross now haha!
The Lactulose should hopefully work within 48 hours. The bloatedness, swelling and hardness is horrible isn’t it! I hope you get some relief soon.
Had the last codeine pill yesterday morning and I feel so much better today. Eventually I don’t look like being 4 months pregnant, managed the toilet couple of times already and my appetite improved.
Every day brings something new to this journey ?
