Feeling so down

4dpo had uplift reduction and 300 unders. I’m just feeling so fed up and sad now just want to be back to normal.
I don’t have much pain any more since I swapped bras (I was struggling to breath with the macom bra) but all I want to do is sleep and when I am awake I feel like crap. Is this normal?

Hi hun!
I dont think anyone is every prepared for the rollercoaster of a BA. Ive had down days and good days! Down about the size! Wishing id gone bigger! I had hardly any pain from day one.. i think if i was sore id have been even worse!.. i promise you it does get better! And the boobs get better with time!! Just rest up, hide your boobs away and take weekly photos!. I was looking every min of every day and it honestly made me worse!. I take weekly photos now and only study them in the mirror once a week and i feel less down! Haha.. it is hard to think about the light at the end of the tunnel right now but you will get there!!.. sleeping is the worst part 🙁
Happy healing hun xxx

Hi Amy, the operation is one that brings a huge emotional rollercoaster and over the comong weeks you will learn what triggers the lows (constantly checking them, looking at everybody else’s post’s & pics and not truly knowing what your eventual outcome will be in terms of size shape projection clevage etc…) and you will ride on the highs (i have bigger boobs now! my sagging has gone, im going to feel much more confident at the end of this…..)
Victoria has given you great advice, keep your girls supported focus on physical and emotional well being and try not to compare, as long as you are recovering and moving forwards your ride will be alot more pleasant but i think it’s very important to note that if your not in alot of pain which is usualy the cause of mood deflation then this could simply be down to your GA, it takes a good 2 weeks to rid yourself of the anasthetic and they can cause the things you are describing, it’s not unusual for people to cry alot for the first 7 days after having one so try to eat well stay hydrated and take as much rest as you can, if your sleeping alot thats what your body needs right now, hope you start to feel much better over the next few days xxx

Thanks ladies. I just feel so emotional and wishing I didn’t do this. Just want to be normal again.
I’m only 5 days post op so i know I’m being stupid and it will get easier and before i know it!! I’m just not seeing the light at end of the tunnel right now x

@amy I’ve been there and still am (albeit the regret not as intense) at 17dpo but I’ve had a LOT of soreness, swelling and bruising from day 1, cleared up by week 2 then I got an infection ! , this just set me back to ‘regret’ mode. It’s so frustrating. It’s a hard road but you will get there. I never realised it would be so emotional and physically taxing. I’ve been very miserable past 2 weeks. I’ve had tears just roll down my face from looking at pictures of my kids , daft stuff like that. You have to try think of the end goal. Eat well , plenty hydration etc.. I found reusable koolpaks a godsend . Sleep situation is the worst and doesn’t help at all. This doesnt help us mentally. Your mood will elevate when your discomfort subsides. I was just wishing days away and existing first 2 weeks. We’re all in it together and you can always get support on here which is invaluable as it’s only us on here who truly know what you are going through. Hugs xx hope you have a better day

4 days post op I was crying to my boyfriend saying what have I done!!! But I’m 4 weeks now and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. The emotions and pain are temporary and it does go quickly. It’s tough and I was really emotional but hold in there 🙂
