I Feel DISGUSTING…

Now, although I LOVE my new boobies.. I feel sucky. Sounds lame to describe what I’m feeling as ”sucky” lol but I don’t really know how else to put it.

I feel like I’ve gained A LOAD of weight all of a sudden, my boyfriend has been so kind and lovely, always telling me how pretty I am etc.. but I don’t know whether it’s because I’ve been sitting around, or because I can’t wear normal fitting clothes.. but I feel crap!

Is this normal? I’ve heard of the ”Boobie Blues” but I thought that was the love/hate relationship you can have with your new assets.. I’ve recently had problems regarding an eating disorder and depression but I thought that I was pretty much back to normal, yet this is making me feel otherwise.

Sorry if this post may seem a little over dramatic or whatever, but I thought it was worth a shot to get some helpful advice from someone who may have already been through it

Hey hunny, Im 7 day’s post opp and the last 3 days i feel like a whale i hate my body but love my boobs feel like ive put on about 3 stone. I also suffer from a eating disorder and depression. i’ve just been trying to keep positive i know its hard hunny but ive been going for lovely walks with my boyfriend feels nice to out and about and not suck in my bedroom! can i add you hunny, how long post opp are you and what are your stats xxx

Hi Kayteelouu, sorry to hear you are not feeling great.

This whole process is such a big thing, and you will be going through a really emotional journey. I’m your friend so i’ve seen your photos. You look great. If you’ve suffered with issues with weight and depression this journey will be even greater for you. Talk to your friends and family to get you through the tough times. And the girls on here;-) Stay strong and believe your boyfriend when he tells you how great you are!

Big/better boobs aren’t an answer to everything, but they can certainly help you to stay positive.

Wishing you lots of positive thoughts and hugs… you’ll get through this little blip! x x x

It’s awful. I hate feeling like this.

Course you can add me hun, I’m 6 days post op. Was a 32B, size 6/8 about 8 stone and 5’6” I had 410 overs with Dr Singh.

What about you hun? x

Thanks pmc123, I really appreciate your kind words. I will try speak to my boyfriend tonight about how I feel, I can’t really talk too openly with my family about it as they don’t really understand entirely. They are supportive, but they usually just tell me I’m stupid and I shouldn’t think like that. Which is easier said than done.

Thanks i was 30A size 8 and 5’6 i had 340 Unders xxx

Keep your chin up hun!! All us girls are here to help you through it xx They say time is a great healer xxx

Aw Kayteelouu, I know how you feel. Just sitting around not being able to do much and relying on other people do things for you even washing your hair. I felt better when I went back to work because at least then I was doing something and I was more active walking to and from the office. Try going for walks, it might make you feel better xx

I spoke with my mother this morning as I was worried that the bloating was going to last for a long time (she is a nurse). I didnt want to come back to work after two weeks and look pregnant!! She told me very practically “you will have your boobs operated on not your legs after 3 days we will be walking around the block etc to get things moving again”.

She also told me about the blues after the drugs come out of your system and hence why she says a little wlak, even just around the block will help lift my mood.

My thoughts are with you.

Sxx

I echo what Belle has said above. I had a complete meltdown and was crying my eyes out cos I couldn’t wash my hair. Everything is so frustrating when you can’t do anything for yourself. It’ll all get better though. xx
