POD2 NOT FEELING GOOD IN ALOT OF PAIN ANYONE IN THE SAME BOAT?

I don’t think i’m taking this whole surgery very well. POD1 was the worst day ever i couldn’t move and need help even to sit up!
Today POD2 has got a little better but still can’t do anything i feel like this strapping is really restricting me.
All I have done today is lay in bed watching Big Brother all day i’m so bored. Please help does it get better cos I don’t even feel like it was worth it at this point? xx

Aww hun I was exactly the same. The first 3 days were absolute worst! I was in agony and I felt like I wasn’t going to ever feel normal again 🙁 but by day 6 it was like I woke up and suddenly healed loads over night.

I’m pod 12 now and I’m in no pain at all! Can’t even remember what it feels like 🙂

Just hang in there, gets lots of rest and remember it will get better 🙂 I promise 🙂 xx

Hey Hun I was the same I felt shocking for the first 4/5 days I thought it was never going to end and kept crying and asking myself if I had done the right thing I even said to my partner can you ring them and ask them to take them out, like what have I done to myself but I promise Hun it gets better, I’m pod19 and I love my boobs and no pain it’s amazing, just keep taking your meds, lots of water and rest and it will get better :), xxx

Day 2 and 3 were the worst for me!! I’m now day 5 but I’m not in near as much pain as I was. I kept thinking what have I done to myself. all I experience now is tightness, I’ve managed to do loads today, I may have over done it because they feel extra tight tonight.. You’ll be fine Hun just keep up with your meds xxx

Ahhh girls thank you sooo much for all your advise it really has helped me today!!! I think I was just really low earlier and not being able to see them is horrible because you feel like nothing has changed! I am trying to keep more positive and just hope every day from now gets easier! But I honestly appreciate your comments I don’t feel so alone xxx @sarahprice @tiffany @mia

Hi Jess I’m on pod 2 , how are you on day 3? Xxx

Hi @khutchinson I think today has been the best so far out of the 3 days. The first 2 days were the worst for me I was so uncomfortable felt like ripping them out of me. i could hardly move for myself but then my mum gave me a bath and i felt so much better and also put my Macom bra on over the top of my strapping which I think took the pressure off my sides. How are you feeling POD2? XX

@jessica-staplehurst sorry think I messaged you twice still unfamiliar on how to message / reply lol.
I’m
Okay just really achey, I’m hoping Ill get better each day from tomorrow. I’m used to sleeping straight through and last two nights woke up 3 times but have luckily fallen back to sleep. I might try my bra over the top too good idea xxx

Im not really sure how to work this thing either! It’s not normal lol. Yeah that’s lucky that your just feeling achyy I hope you don’t get any pain cos it’s the worst! Ice packs have really been a help I feel it’s cooling down the swelling under neath and that might be why it’s feeling so tight! That’s good that you have been sleeping. Last night was the first time I slept all the way through without waking up! Yeah I feel with the bra over the top just takes some pressure off! xxx

@khutchinson

@jessica-staplehurst can’t wait to sleep all way through ha ha .. Sounds stupid but where do you put the ice pack? Just on top of your boobs along your strapping? Going to get my mum to get some today xx

Yeah last night was actually good and I’m glad I slept the whole way through without waking up! Cos thats the worst feeling not being able to go back to sleep! Yeah I just lay it on the top so when I’m laying down a bit it stays there just cools it down and feels better! Hope tomorrow gets even easier for you x

@jessica-staplehurst ohh fab mums getting some tomoz!id I still feel crappy! Thanks Hun me too, thanks for help! Xxx

Welcome let me know how you get on the next couple of days and i’ll keep you up to date!! x

Thank you for confirmation.
yours fit pefekt to your size. congratulations hun

Hey @khutchinson how’s POD3 going for you I felt ok yesterday and today I feel like it’s a bit more easier and less tight!? xx

@Jessica-staplehurst hey, I’m day 3 now, was hard getting up this morning. Only woke up twice in the night instead of three times ha ha. Are you day 4 now? I really want to wash my hair too xxx

@khutchinson
Yeah i think it’s the initial sitting up which is the hardest bit!! Haha at least that’s one less time.. trust me last night was even better sleeping I didn’t wake up once till the morning also my v pillow arrived today so I’m hoping tonight is even more better! I feel a lot more able to walk aroound today and may even go in the car for a ride and get out the house!

I’m day 4 now yeah 🙂 I need to wash my hair today as well, I had a bath POD2 my mum basically bathed me so this time i’ll get my hair washed as well! Did you put on your post surgery bra over the top of your strapping? xx

@jessica-staplehurst yes v pillow is a god send! Aww good hope I am tomorrow then, definitely don’t feel nowhere near enough ready for strapping off but I am 4 days off yet.. Yes I got shallow bath at day 2 but gonna try my hair tomorrow I think .. No I put it on and I think it will stretch over but still feels too sore to do it what size you got xx

I got a size small in my macom bra and it fits fine it’s a tiny bit tighter than the strapping but I feel more supported!! I went out in the car today just for the ride so we feeling quite ok! Update me with tomorrow! xx
