HI

Same here, i feel i should be happier about my boobs, haven’t been sleeping great, and been feeling run down. I’m 3 weeks post op.

I remember last time i had to have surgery, it was major surgery and i can remember the district nurse coming to see me, i felt the exact same way and she said it is a very common thing after somebody has had a ga and surgery, she compared abit to baby blues and reassured me it would pass. After about 6 weeks i started feeling better in myself.

It will pass just horrible having to wait. xx

I feel the same and i am only 4days post op! I have even cried, i get upset and think no one cares how im doing…even thought its obvious they do! but as u say it will pass, i just hope its sooner rather than later.

so you ladies are 4weeks post op, have u just started to feel like this or did u feel it before a few days post op like me??

happy healing ladies im sure you all look absolutely beautiful with you new and improved assets! lol xx

Hey christy!

I felt depressed since i have done them, i feel really lonely and sad i hav cried quite a few times.

I dont tell people to be a burden of people but i hope it gets better just feel trapped in my own little world.

Like no1 cares – jus got to carry on doing what iam doing.

Its very hard to explain, how u r? xxxx

My moods are up and down, one minute i like my new boobs the next i hate them sometimes i even think what a waste of money lol

I cant wait to start feeling better

same here! we cant win can we :S its so anoying!! hope we get better soon i really do,x

heya beauts, im feeling better now, fingers crossed it stays this way. i think is pretty normal to feel a bit down after surgery, ive heard lots of people liken it to the baby blues, i thin its probably all the pain relief and the after effects of the GA that makes us a bit unbalanced for a while. you feel bad for feeling upset because yu think wow i selfish and spoilt that i can spend grands on myself and stil be unhappy, BUT im sure this will pass soon enough and we will all be feelin and looking great.

Sharon76 thats really sad that sometimes u think it wasnt worth it, but deep down it must have be the right thing for u to do or you wouldnt of taken such drastic action.

niastar how long since u had your ba?? if this feeling of upset and lonliness is dragging on it might be worth speaking to your GP about in or a MYA nurse.Rather be safe than sorry eh?? we dont want this to turn into something long lasting.

how are you both feeling now? i really hope you feel better soon girls, you deserve to look and fell 100% perfect if you girls want to chat about anything add me on facebook….my name on there is Crystal Clear

all the best xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hellooooooooooooo ladies,

i was like this. . .

i’m now 12 weeks post op, and its gone. . . . . but it does happen to most people.

mine started straight away, been on my own or the thought of it made me worse. i cried because i liked them, i cried because they were too big. and for nothing they look amazing. . . .

after a few week it started to settle dow, i had the odd outbursts, i tried an old top on and couldnt fasten it, which upset me, so i cried hen i realised i could just buy new. . . . . i spoke to my nurse and it was perfectly normal, after i’d say aout 4 weeks i was extremely happy and i like to flaunt them a little now

happy healing xx

HI Niastar & all other ladies

I havent been on here for a while .. I had my op 5 weeks ago & felt fine up until 4 weeks post op .. This last week Ive been so depressed .. Had a “Im fat, ugly …” week for this whole week which has been a nightmare!!! Since having the op Ive put on half a stone which has done my head in completely & I feel so useless because of the no excersize ban and so restricted in what I can wear cuz of the bloody post op bra! Im rolling on Tuesday (6 week check) so I can go bra shopping and get my life back .. PLUS i havent been partying for 6 weeks either ..

Fingers cross it’ll pass for all of us xxx

hi there Girls ,

If I were you I would be over the moon believe me … Nothing to be stressed about .. You have been through the biggest thing , which was the operation .. And I’m sure that they look great

My bf has turned me down for a few times now asking me why would I wanna have that big boobs etc… But I’ve been catching him looking at the girls who had big boobs and I know he loves big boobs , He doesn’t understand what this means to me .. And the other day I’ve tried the Rice Test and got a sports bra D size and rice and everything .. When I put them on all he said was “it looks hilarious you are 5ft3 why you wanna have boobs that big, it doesnt suit you” and so on.. I’ve been trying to tell him that its only a test and its not how they are going to look after the operation so my Rice Test adventure last only 10 mins , thanks to him.. If I had that much money to get my BA done , no doubt I would do it straight away so what I’m trying to tell is that you shouldn’t worry about it .. enjoy your new looks girls..

hi girls,

I understand completely what you went through

for me it started around day 3 post op and carried on for about 4 weeks

it was horrible..i couldn’t sleep, couldn’t eat, couldn’t wash so I would feel dirty, I even cut the elastic of my trousers coz i couldn’t take them off in time when i needed the toilet and felt generally worn out and sooooo lonely and depressed

my boobs were looking disgusting with angry looking nipples, sore and in a LOT of pain constantly..i knew if they didn’t turn out to be nice, i couldn’t go back, so i was committed to whatever i had

my partner was not supportive at all, whenever i asked him to do something it was like i was to much trouble for him and he didn’t say once they looked nice

in those 4 weeks there wasn’t a day when I wasn’t crying and kept thinking about never depending on anyone again or be in that situation where i can’t get myself a glass of water

I was worrying constantly about the pain, is it normal? will i ever be able to sleep properly again? was it worth it? i literally locked myself in a room and didn’t want to see anyone

So even if you felt 50% of what I just said Niastar, I genuinely feel sorry for you but I know it’s a temporary thing, even tho you might worry it won’t be

it is..take one day at a time and if you have support from family, husband, etc I’m sure you will have a better time than I had or it won’t last as long

Good luck to all of you and don’t forget everything you feel is normal and lots of women are going through exactly the same feelings and emotions

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I am 6 days post-op feel ok at this very moment but up & down all the time got dressed today and both my daughter and hubby both said i look good just wish my body would tell my head . I am usually a very active person but at the moment feel useless and selfish for being this way , tomorrow i see the nurse 1st week over plus had to return to theatre hours after op so i feel i need to know what went wrong .my surgeon was fantastic things can only get better . I wish you all lots of happiness and hope you all pick up soon x Thank god we can all share our feelings xxx

Hey Niastar,

Just seen this, hope ur ok hunni and feeling a bit better! It is really hard emotionally having a ba and like u say it can be very lonely,i think its really difficult going through something that ur family/friends haven’t been through cus u feel like they don’t understand. And u have the days of thinking ‘they look horrible’, ‘wish i had never had them done’, ‘i feel crap’ etc. But im sure all of this will get better, it is a much more massive thing to go through than we think it is and its bound to effect us both emotionally/physically.

Things will get better And i hope its soon for u! You know my number if u want to chat. Keeping smiling and enjoy ur new boobs! xxxxxxxxxx

Don’t worry girls, I know how you feel and it will pass. I had surgery a year ago for something medical, not cosmetic and after the anaesthetic I was very weepy and sad. It went on for a little while with all the meds, antibiotics, painkillers and generally feeling fragile. I was horrid to my lovely boyfriend but he put up with it! Try to think of it as a chemical thing and try to rise above it and take a few seconds to breathe, think of something lovely and that should help bring a smile to your face!
