POD4 The reality…

Ok so I’m now 4 days post op! I had 350cc on Wednesday, Submuscular, with Mr Traynor! I then had the worst two/three days of my life with so much pain and unable to do anything for myself! (Or I’m a complete baby)
Last night I managed to leave my apartment for the first time and went to my parents for the evening. Was shattered by 9 and got home to bed for 10! I managed to sleep from around 10ish to 3:30am, woke in a little pain but talked myself round to going back to sleep, woke up at 6:30 (7:30 clocks went back) went for a wee and had ibuprofen and then slept til 9am! Wahoooo
I’ve had a little bath and got dressed and even put make up on! I know it’s Halloween but jheeze I looked terrible! I am finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel! I thought I’d never get here but it’s glorious once you reach this point! Feel like I’ve climbed Mt Everest! Haha
To all you girls that have just had or due to have unders I feel for you, I don’t mean to scare anyone off but I feel like no one expressed just how awful it is at first or if they did I must have ironed it but f&*k me it is terrible but if I can get through it, anyone can! (Honestly)
Hot water bottles saved my back from pure agony,
Ice packs for the top of my boobs were like little parcels sent from heaven!
My mum and my boyfriend are quite literally Angels!
No one tells you that laughing even hurts! My ribs have been so sore but they’re ok today! Do not be afraid to loosen the macom ladies, I was so scared but man it was so good after, I feel like it bruised my ribs!
Oh and boob jobs are so not glamorous, I’ve never felt uglier or as desperate for help in my life as I have the past few days, but pain is temporary as is feeling like that!
Short term loss for long term gain girls!
I love the size they’re perfect I tried to have a sneaky peak today and managed to open 3/4 hooks and pull it open, I even saw a little nipple.. Too scared to take it off yet but I’ll get there… Oh and I love them they’re my new babies. (Think the bf is desperate to have a feel but he knows he can’t haha)
Onwards and upwards now! Xx

I’m hearing under is a little more painful and that’s what I’m hoping for. I’m so glad I’m the not only one everyday I’m worrying thinking I will not want to take the Bra off I will be too scared…. I just don’t know what to expect at all, and after the op as well about how I will cope with it and if I still go with black marker on me for my follow up appt later bevause I haven’t Been able to wash properly lol oh the worries I have. I hope your recovery continues to improve – when do you return to work ?

Hi Kelsey!
Unders are way more painful then overs but I always wanted unders and needed unders anyway cos I had such little tissue before. But when I was in pain I just reminded myself why I was doing it and cried a little and then breathed through it. I’ve still got marker on me but I don’t care because I’m not going anywhere for anyone to see it. Don’t worry about those things yet is you won’t care at the time!
I don’t go back to work for 2 weeks yet I have a hands on job so took extra time off. Couldn’t imagine going back any time soon! Thanks for the wishes! X

Well I have it all to come but yes it will be worth it! I’ve booked 1 week so shall see how i am. Good luck Hun x

Hunny i couldn’t have put it better myself. Haha Made me laugh this post. We’ve been like 2 miserable whingy wimpy brats hahahaha!!!! Hope your ok hunny xxx Iv been out today for the first time and jesus wept… i could cry!!!!!

Haha I know Rachel! Proper wimps aren’t we!? I thought I was good with pain but dayummmmm!!
At least we’ve both finally stepped out of our cotton wool bubbles and gone out! That did make me feel better! Still struggling to get my shoulders back and it’s kind of annoying but not stressing over it cos I know it will sort itself out! Are you feeling abit better now though? Xx

@KayP Feel absolutely fine. Right boob is very tender. And iv started with nose bleeds. Know idea why but im st my 1 week post of appointment tomorrow so shall bring it up. Im so glad those days are over lol. So glad your feeling better hunny..its hard going isnt it?? Your right though, dont think i read once about how much it hurts or how hard going it is. Or the sleep is a real ain in the ass. My boobies look amazing today as i havent looked at them for the last 2 days due to not feeling great with the pain. Xxxx

Eat a lot of protein tht should help as ur muscle is repairing itself… Literally thts wht bodybuilders do after working out to aid growth and repair.. Ask if u can take magnesium too! Ur body isn’t gona heal off painkillers

Thanks hunny xxxx

I couldn’t have put this any better myself! I just had 375 unders yesterday and as soon they took my out of theatre and into the room I cried! I have never experienced pain like this! I can be quite a drama queen haha but wow this is so far from how I imagined. Don’t get me wrong I wasn’t just bejng naieve and thinking it would be a doddle but it is so hard to things for myself! Just focusing on the end result because I think they will look fab once they’re healed and less swollen! I don’t regret a thing and the pain is only temporary! If I can do it anyone can I’m such a wimp hahaha! Apparently ibuprofen causes nose bleeds Rachel xx

Awwwww Holly its utter rubbish isnt it?? Im POD7 and im still really sore and uncomfortable. Im praying another week and it will have seriously calmed down. I also never expected it to be this bad. Yes it does… doesnt help that i think my bloody pressure keeps dipping then going bk up. Thinking of you hunny. Xxx just rest up as best you can… well.. tbf… its yoir only option because you csnt do much else lol xxx

Yes Holly it’s a shock to the system ey! After the first 3 days of hell I feel like every day after has got better although I still have peaks ands troughs throughout each day! But if you try to keep a positive mental attitude it helps! As log as you have someone to help you in the hardest days at the start you’ll be ok! I’m ok POD6 now and I am definitely getting there it’s just a slow process! I keep reminding myself of why I wanted this and of my itty bitty titties and it helps haha if you need any advice I’m here to help! Xx

Hi, I’m new on here 🙂

It is posts like this that are the reason I joined. Thank you for the insight. These are the things they don’t tell you xx

Awww thanks Jennifer, this is why I wanted to post it. I wish I’d have seen more of this and not just the good stories! I’m now POD7 and feeling like I’m really getting there! Xx

Thanks girls I’m managing! Had a bad night/ morning but I feel a bit better now! Plenty of rest, water and protein and we should be fine, also hot water bottles are my best friends atm! . It is such a shock to the body but I know already that I’m going to be in love with my boobs haha so it’s all worth it in the long run! Good luck with the rest of your recovery girls! Hope this won’t put people off because it’s the best thing I’ve done! Xx

Like KayP said to me.. ‘Short Term Pain For Long Time Gain’ Best saying ever. <3
