    Im 3 days in the boobie club :D Ive been feeling really good. No pain, just aches, it feels like wearing a really heavy bra and thats it. Im only taking one pain killer at a time.

    What should I be doing now tho? Should I be moisturising? massaging?

    How can I get rid of the gut thats developed? Ive taken 2 senokot each day since wednesday but nothing has happened 😳

    Any after care tips would be very helpful! thank you x

    Also 3 days in. I’ve been moisturising regularly every day since the op with Palmer’s Cocoa Butter and Bio Oil. I avoid the incision/dressing area.

    I drink loads of water to keep my skin hydrated. This is weird but I do it lol. Every day I take a spoonful of Manuka Honey 15+ (can get it out any supermarket or holland & barratt) it’s got anti bacterial properties in it. It’s meant to be great stuff. I hope that will help with the healing.

    I make sure I “air” my boobs lol. I don’t keep them hidden in my sports bra all day. When I’m moisturising I leave them for a good 15 mins before putting my bra back on. I’ve got a Nike Dry-Fit Sports Bra so it takes away all the moisture. I just like the way it looked :(

    Keep topped up on your painkillers, don’t wait till you need them. It’s better to prevent the pain from happening.

    Toilet Trouble – Drinking loads of water, some oranges/tangerines or fresh orange juice, prune juice or possibly an over the counter laxative?

    Hope this helps :)

    Hey ICS3 I had the same prob and was taking two Senekot a day-but after 5 days I tried Orange Juice and it worked for me – lol. Hopefully will work for you to. Happy Healing xcx

    Yeah your body is using it all to help help your big boobies :P

    Hope your healing well chick

    Took my boobies out for dinner tonight, their first outing too. Went down well. Wore a great top that hid my sports bra but still looked dressy. Back home feeling a bit eh bloated haha.

    How do you feel standing for long periods?
