Feeling sorry for myself

Please someone tell me this getsite easier. I’m in so much pain and nothing is helping. I’m feeling so sorry for myself right now. I’m POD3 someone please tell me I’ve gotten over the worst of it …. ?

Apparently days 3 & 4 are tough! Have you been eating a lot of protein? I’ve had loads of steaks and protein shakes and honestly think they have helped!
Also I’ve been going for little walks.. Just think the pain will go in a couple of days and it’s going to be so worth it! In a few weeks you will forget feeling it this xx

Your going through the worst of it I remember about the same stage getting worse and my mum literally having to sit up its a distant memory now at 4 weeks post op I started driving at 5 days post op so you’ll be suprised how quick you heal xx

Im POD2.. And feeling very sorry for myself.. Hopefully this time next week we will both be over the worst! My breast band is killing me!! xx

I must say day 3 and 4 I would of had them taken out! I was so down and my emotions were awful! I found that things slowly improved and now 2 weeks later I’m ok and actually love them, which I never thought possible x

I thought that I had gotten away with it. Surgery and day 1 was a breeze. I guess I spoke to soon! I just have to keep telling myself it will all be worth it in the end. It just doesn’t stop the pain right now xxx

Hi Leah, I’m PO day 3 and I’m still feeling dizzy and having pains under my arms. I’m trying not to take any painkillers apart from at night but this is hard! Are you taking your arnica tablets? They should hopefully help with the bruising xx

I’m post op day 3 and honestly so glad someone else is feeling the same as all I ever see is people saying they hardly felt pain just a little discomfort! I literally can hardly move, want to sleep all the time but don’t dare fall asleep .. I feel like someone is sat on my left boob and pulling it anyway I don’t want to go! The bra is so much pressure and my tail bone bum and back are in BITS from how I’m sitting / laying. I went to sleep last night and woke up around half 2, unable to even lift my head up as I had slipped a little to the side. It was honestly the worst thing it took me about an hour to get myself sat up and sorted and actually manage to move my arms etc! We must just be the unlucky ones.. I know I’m quite a weak person and stuff but still didn’t expect this. Feels good to have a proper moan though ? Xxxx

Hi Leah,

Don’t forget you work long hours and finished work from a busy few weeks (I’m guessing!) on Friday and then had your op soon after so you were weary from work…..

Can you take some time next week as sick leave?

Thinking of you xx

Im 3 days post op too and I have really been struggling since I came around after op. I am such an active person and have been so frustrated with how limited my movement is. Tonight the pain has started to go so I’m hoping the worst has passed. I feel like once our pain has gone we can then start enjoying the process! Good luck girls it will all be worth it in the end xx

Kath – I’ve been taking arnica tablets since a few days before my op. They don’t seen to have had much effect on me.

Hannah – I know what you mean. I think I underestimated how much pain I would be in as lots of girls have said it really wasn’t that bad. I have been in so much pain. Where I can’t even move. I’m beginning to get sharp pains deep in my breast. It feels like someone’s twisting a hot knife in me. It’s awful.

I’m lucky as sleeping up right hasn’t been a problem for me at all. I sleep on my back anyway so that’s probably why.

Ella – Yeah I worked all the way through and over the weekend until the night before my op. I was sired as it was so I think not being very well rested massive made it much more difficult.

Olivia – so am I. I am not independent and I keep doing little things I shouldn’t and it’s taking it out of me. My boyfriend jeeps telling me off but it’s really hard not too. Don’t get me wrong I am still enjoying the whole process I just wish the pain would do one ?

Happy healing anyway ladies.. I’m sure it’s all up from here for us xxxx

Today is definitely a bit easier for me.. I think day 2/3/4 are the worst and hopefully it’s better from there. I feel for you having strapping on as when I need a little break I can take off or loosen my MACOM for ten minutes. It’s going to be worth it and we are through the worst I think! Ice packs and cups of tea have saved my life haha. Xxxxxx
