Aww bless you… I had 430cc unders and had huge pain aswell . Wiping my bum was mission impossible … try to rest a lot and eat every 2-3 hours . Take paracetamol every 4-5 hours, then try something stronger like Ketoprofenum or 1 paracetamol and 1 ibuprofen before sleep. Also eat natural yoghurt to help your stomach during taking antibiotics. Try to walk around house a bit , I felt better when I was walking. Be patient , it will be worth it . Xx

I had 295 UHP this morning. I feel dreadful haha. Wishing you a speedy recovery xx

I would keep on top of all your meds hun, set alarms for every 6/8 hours (whatever they’ve given you to take) honestly i think i would have been in agony as even though im still waking up at weird times, it was just before pain kicked in. Definitely try to wander around the house even if its just for a few minutes at a time. If you have ice packs they help also, just rest as much as possible hun,the first few days will be the worst. happy healing xx

Yeah I know how you feel! I’m the exact same, thing is I don’t have much of an appetite atm. I’ll deffo try the natural yogurt! Thank you @daisy92 xx

@hannahlouise23 have you? Ahh I felt awful as well, did everything go ok? Thanks you!! You too xx

@fernx yeah I’ve got an ice pack on now, I hope it’s all worth it hahah! Thank you xx

Yes everything went fine thank you, how about you? I’m in a lot of discomfort and been questioning whether this is even normal! Haha. But so with it! It’s just my muscles that are hurting and I was warned they would! Also my back. The ice packs really help! Xx

@hannah ice on boobs , heat on back. It’s not easy but it gets better in a few days. Sorry .. I feel your pain. Unders are so painful but in long run it will all be worth it. I was a total mess. I couldn’t take pain relief after 3 days as it gave me headaches and upset stomach. Hope you recover better than me. Xx

Ice packs have been amazing, but I am so tired and cannot get confortabke whatsoever. I am in some horrible pain and I’m keeping up on top of painkillers but it’s not helping! Thank you so much xx

Im 3 days post op today and still in a little bit of pain. I had 325 under muscle. Ive just been keeping on top of my medication and resting. My V shaped pillow has been a godsend! Honestly dont know how i would have slept without it! Hope all you girls arent in too much pain xx

@hannahlouise23 good! And yeah everything went well thanks! I’m in the exact same boat as you, I’m in so much pain as well. I can’t even move without someone helping me up. Yes ice on boobs and hot water bottle on back! Fingers crossed in a few days we’ll be fine! Xx
Is it easier to move by day 3? Thanks, hope you aren’t too! Also what sports bra do yous girls have? Because I’m swollen and I feel like mine is causing more pain! Xx @abbie2906

I would say im finding it easier to move today. i was able to put my dressing gown on unaided which is an achievement! Lol. Also the pain isnt as bad today, just still tight right in the middle of my chest and think the drain holes are scabbing!! Im wearing a marks and spencers zip up sports bra and i have one of those strap things. I think theyre both causing me to feel tight but the reason for wearing them is to help with swelling and keep the boobs in place so just think of that everytime you feel like ripping it off! Lol xx

This is my m&s bra and horrid strap lol. But i am finding my bra seems a little less tight today also so maybe the swelling is starting to do down x

Try again…

I’m hoping it doesn’t take longer than a few days to feel better! I now feel so sick and struggling to eat, which is making taking painkillers hard! Haha. It feels like the hulk is about to burst out of my chest also which isn’t helping! I’m wearing a macom, I’m finding it really comfortable xx

I lost my appetite the first and second day but forced myself to eat. And hahaha thats exactly what it feels like! ???? I have a macom think im gonna change into that when i have my post op appointment xx

@abbie2906 i tried to get a m&s one and it didn’t fit I tried 4 different sizes but I think it’s because I’m swollen☹️I’m wearing a macom one but it’s really tight. I have a breast band on as well and it’s so horrible! I’m hoping in the next few days I’ll be able to move more! Xx

@hannahlouise23 I couldn’t really eat much yesterday but I’m starting to eat today, yeah my chest feels exactly the same!! Xx

I bought my bra before my op, the nurse told me to buy two sizes up so i got a 32D. Two nurses at fitzroy had to both put it on me and zip it up as my boobs were that swollen! I think if i took it off now i wouldnt be able to get it back on again. Cant wait for it to come off and be able to shower! Ill deffo keep you updated on my movement and pain as the days go on xxx
