Post op day one 😢

Hi girls, I’m in so much pain I can barely move does anyone else feel like this? When will it get better? They are so heavy and I feel so tight and itchy the cocodamol has me knocked for 6 but without it I can’t bear the pain!! Kind of thinking what have I done to myself 😢 really did not think I was going to be like this xxx

Yesterday was my first day and I cried a couple of times because I felt so rough and had really struggled to sleep the night before sat up but last night I went to bed early and I have felt a lot better today. I agree though i didn’t expect to feel this bad x

Hi girls .. I felt the same way .. It’s a big surgery and we are adding something that our body is like whoa!! But it will get better .. I’m three weeks post op tomorrow and finally feel human again

Hang in there

Are u allowed to take your support bra off? I swapped my macom for an m&s sports bra before whilst I washed it but this one now is so uncomfortable so I’m waiting for my macom to dry on the line x

Hi I had mine done too yesterday for me it’s not so much painful just hard to move and j feel so tight , can’t wait to get the strapping off ! Are yours really numb still? Hope you feel better soon xxx

It gets better girls! Just remember why you’ve done it pain is temporary! The first week is an emotional roller coaster! But by POD 6/7 you’ll feel much better and you’ll only get better from there! I said these things why did I do this I feel awful and hated sleeping upright, I was so sick for days after the anaesthetic I couldn’t eat I was sleep deprived but I’m POD 19 I feel amazing they feel like they’ve always been there I had no pain from POD 6 and I swapped my co codamol for ibuprofen and paracetamol cuz those co codamols knocked me for 6 and the muscle relaxers made me feel weird. It gets better girls every day is a day closer to feeling much better remind yourself at the end you’ll have amazing boobs x

Thanks for replying girls, im pretty much bed bound hurts so much when I get up and I can’t get up unassisted I feel like I have been hit by a bus! When does the swelling go down and when we’re you able to sit up and do things on your own? I have one boob that is numb the other is fine hun are both yours numb? I can’t wait to take my strapping off either the nurse said I could take it off Sunday! Did I walk in your room by mistake Gemma? Lol. Hayley no I don’t think you should be taking your support bra off you need to keep it on babe xxx

Hey Hun I promise you it gets better I was exactly the same I told my partner that I actually wanted to kill myself I was in so so much pain and kept thinking what have I done I want them to take them out, and no matter what people say you will be like nop this hurts no one else is in pain but really Hun I promise it gets better around day 5/6, just take it easy, keep taking your meds and lots of water, get someone to help you when you can and just keep moving your arms not a lot just prop them up, promise it gets better, also i rang my nurse and she said to take off my bra and even the strapping is really tight just cut small slits just to ease it a little hope your ok xxx

Yeah I have one boob which is more numb than the other I can still slightly feel them though! The strappings making my nipples look funny haha! I want to take mine off Sunday but scared I’ll do something wrong! And yeah you did walk into my room hahaha xxxx

Hey,
I am 14 days post op and feel so much better, so hang in there! I never expected the amount of pain and discomfort and days 2/3 were awful for me. I needed help getting up and could barely move, but id say by day 7/8 I started to gradually feel better each day. I’m still struggling to lift my arms very high though and have just started driving again which is so uncomfortable 🙁
The co codemol made me feel terrible and I stopped taking them on the morning of day 3 as they made me so tired and bloated and I generally felt crappy on them. I didn’t feel like they were even doing anything for the pain anyway! I did feel a bit better once I stopped taking them. I have read on this forum about some girls going to the doctors and being given other meds that have been much better, so might be worth a visit.
Hope you feel much better soon xxx

They look good Hun. What size did you get ?
I’m so scared for getting mine cuz I’m such a wimp with pain. Also have a 2 year old so I’m worrin about looking after her. But I know it’s going to be so worth it 😳 xxx

Hi micha,
I promise you this the way you feel now is exscatly the way I felt, I was so low and wished I had never had it done!!…I spent the night in there hospital feeling like a elephant was sitting on my chest and being sick from anaesthetic…once home I cried so much as I was so uncomfortable…now I’m 14 days post op and only odd twinge but not painful.
Just keep going Hun and once pain subsides you will be in love and won’t look back. Xx

I was the same I had 550 overs 2 weeks ago I walked holding onto them for the first week as they felt like they were going to fall off! K was In agony for four days but I promise you will feel better soon. I still have some especially when bending forward but it will be worth it in the end. Xxx

Think I jinxed myself, last night had the worst sleep and worst pain in my left breast , my right has softened by my left has gone really hard. Feel so faint and sick today not sure what to do! Xx

I’m pod 3 and I woke up feeling the worst I’ve felt I was stiff felt sick dizzy and was in tears again don’t know what’s up with me I feel very emotional since having it done . I’ve got no feeling in any of my boobs /nipples and the only way I can describe it is like when your Breast feeding and your milk comes in that heavy aching feeling. Other than that the boobs look great ha ha 😂x

Bless you all for your replys! Thank you for making me feel better! Sorry for late replying today I have been very drowsy! Today has been better then yesterday I didn’t cry when I woke up this morning but still in a lot of pain! My nipples are burning like crazy my boobs feel so heavy and tight! I have been using ice packs to try and cool my nipples down. I have not moved from the sofa all day and slept here last night so scared to get up! Thank you tiff I have been powering down fruit and water and taking vitamins etc food really is the best medicine to fix you! Gemma my left breast does hurt a lot more then my right today too just take you meds on time and it will help keep on top of the pain! You can take your strapping off yourself just make sure your dressings stay in place. Sophie I am exactly the same they are so heavy Arnt they! Clutching them for dear life when I stand up! Lol. Chelsie I had 650cc HP hun if you want to have it done you definitely need someone around you who you can rely on for a couple of weeks to look after you and your daughter! I have my mum here I couldn’t be without her I can’t make my own food sit up unassisted I can’t walk very far to the toilet and back is hard enough! It’s really taken it out of me my mum said its like me being a baby again lol she’s liteally doing everything for me! Thank you kaylee I cant till I look at them and love them at the moment I HAVNT looked at them much because of the pain but that’s what I am looking forward too! Seeing how good they look! 🙂 hey Hayley I think the nerves in your boobs need to regenerate and that’s why you have no feeling it should slowly come back fingers crossed! I too have been an emotional rollercoaster it’s natural babe! We just have to look forward and keep reminding ourselves this pain won’t last forever and soon we will be rocking our bikini’s on the beaches 😉 xxx
