How to get up???? Help please.

How is easiest to get up girls? I’m finding it do hard and it hurts. I’m sleeping with 2 pillows behind my v pillow so my shoulders are propped up but I always wake up slid down a bit and feel like I have to do 1 massive sit up to get myself upright and then shuffle to the end of the bed

Is there an easier way of doing this? Or should I maybe be sat right up to sleep rather than propped up? X

Hehe having same problem, I have been pushing myself right up with my legs then either using my right hand to grip under my knee and pull myself up or moves legs to the side off the bed and pull myself that way but both ways feel like I am pulling, my back is aching like mad this morning x

I found one big sit up was the best way, hurts though I found taking a painkiller before attempting to get out of bed helped though, and I made sure that I took them regularly, even though the night x

The first one in the morning defo seems the worst. Ouchy. My lovely mum just brought me breakfast in bed but I actually feel a bit sick. That would not be good. Think I’ll try not to slide today cos my stomach is getting tired of big sit ups lol x

It’s so funny reading this. I’m 8 weeks PO and it feels like a whole lifetime ago that I had my op and was struggling around like this

It really doesnt last long at all, and before you know it you are feeling back to normal! Happy healing girls xx

Does the sick feeling go too? I’d do 10 extra big sit ups to not feel sick

I felt sick this morning too but think it was from getting up too quick ( well I say quick still took me ages but quicker than normal as someone was at my door) have u been told to massage your boobs beckidawn and are you wearing any support bra yet or just bandaging x

I haven’t been able to keep anything down . Being sick was so painful! Nurse told me to stop taking painkillers as they have morphine in and just take antibiotics and paracetamol from now. I just have 2 big plasters over incisions and my breast band so far x

sounds a bit odd but i found the most pain free way of getting up was if i was led flat on my back i wud pull my knees up so the were at like a right angle and then put both my hands behing my right knee and kinda rock so i wud rock forward enough to pull myself up with my own weight does that make sense lol? xx

That makes sense. I will try that later x
