How soon before mobile again?

Hi Girlies,

Had my op done on thursday and just wondering when i should be able do stuff for myself. Still pretty sore but manageable.

Hey Hun, I had mine done Sunday and to be honest have been up and about since Monday suppose it depends how you feel really, I’m still sore but it gets easier think cause I have a 16 month old iv had to really!!! But if u can rest then do it happy healing xx

Wow telle you was up and about the day after!! Im feeling more with it as time goes on n it feels like my right side is more mobile than my left at min. Can get around but still having most things done for me. I have 2 kids but their 8 n 5 so pretty independent n my hubby has been fantastic throughout. Plus i have good friends on standby also. But just looking forward to being able to do stuff again im not one for sitting around!! Happy healing hun xx

I have been told that I can have mine on a wednesday but I have my brothers 18 4 days later what should I do?

do you mean 18 birthday?? If so u may be fine im still sore but i can move around. N its only the second day after for me. If you can get someone to dress you n move around you will beable to turn up for a little while. But everybody is different, my hubby has just gone out to get me a v pillow to help with the sleeping. Im hoping it will also help the healing process quicker too by being more comfortable

I have booked for the 3rd of march xx

nice one bet your really excited!!! Hope it all goes well for you xx

i had my ba on tuesday last week, and was was up and about next day, i asked my husband to take a day off to look after kids on wednesday( as its the only day of the week they dont go to nursery as i always have it off) and on thursday i went shopping, friday deep cleaned the house. i would not say i am 100%, but i am very mobile, i am more sore in the mornings after i wake up….tomorrow i am back to work.

WOW Elana your healing much quicker than me!! Tho i would say dont overdo it as you dont wanna put your healing backwards, but thats great if you can do all that. Im not a wimp about pain but not healing half as quick as that. I can move my right arm a lot more freely now but my left is still pretty much immobile. I dont need to use the painkillers now as the pain is managable without. Im at 3 days post op managed to have a shallow bath today and can move around the house n do little things, but the hubby is off for a week with me whilst i heal. He has been great n i couldnt of done it without him. So to anybody thinking of doing this alone think again every case different!! My main problem for first 2 days was getting up frrom couch n the bed!! As it puts too much pressure on your boobies tryna do it with your own body strength. Good luck all n happy healing

Hey Chery, everyone is different. I’m very fit & active, but have been totally wiped after my op on Monday. My sister stayed with me for 5 days and literally did everything for me. We managed little walks into town but I kept getting out of breath like an old lady. I went for a meal with friends last night & had a few (non-alcholic) drinks afterwards and feel totally shattered today. I’m back at work tomorrow & wish I’d taken another couple of days off!

All I would say is listen to your body. You’ll know when your ready to leave the house & do things for yourself again. Happy healing. x

Thanx Sophie, Feel a little better each day. Went to a friends house last night for a change of scenery which helped a bit. Im now managing to move my left arm a little so guess it means its on its way to healing which is good. You defo need to listen to your body n mine seems to be healing well so all good.
