sleeping after boobies

how long do i have to sleep upright for? boobies only 1 week old and tape still on until monday. I did try lying down before on my back just to see and OMG sooo painful and i had to get my boyfriend to pull me back up owch.

xx

i was told 2 weeks hun x not sure if its right tho.

I was told 2 weeks too,xxx

I think the MYA paperwork only says 7-10 days but then it also said no alcohol for 2 days and they told me a week, and they said no ibuprofen for 2 weeks but that wasn’t on list at all. So I guess whatever they say add a few more days on to it! How is it sleeping upright? I am v funny about my sleep as it is, I can’t sleep on my back as it is so I don’t know how I will manage!

tina do u rekon i shud just stick to my macom or wear anuva one except the others r to put over head not do up at front? xxx

Stick to your macom for now honey,dont try raise your arms lovely,xxxx

If you desperately need to take the macom off for a while to wash or whatever, I got some sports bras in Asda for £4 that do up at the back, not ideal but as it was only to put on for a few hours I thought they’d do as substitutes x

Oh my goodness, sleeping hasn’t even entered my head!!!! I’m a total nightmare, I always sleep on my front, don’t think I’ll cope . How have I not thought of this??!! Xx

Too excited to think about anything other than what you’ll wear post op if you’re anything like me. I had a panic when I realised I was only 3 weeks away and started getting lists together of what I can and can’t do. My mum reminded me the other day I won’t even be able to lift the kettle to make tea for a week and that she’d pop round on the way to work and make me a thermos, then it started to hit home a bit! I have got a v pillow which I hear makes sleeping more comfortable x

I slept upright for 10days… on my side from day 11 and back to sleeping on my front from week 4 onwards x

ok kool yh i am worried avin stitches out will hurt. x

It doesn’t hurt emzzy. I had mine out yesterday. I was so scared thinking it would take ages and il be getting pulled about. She pulled the small steri strip off which hardly hurt and then slid the stitch out. It was one bit if wire so it wasn’t all separate stitches. It was nothing to worry about at all. I feel a bit lighter now. Not worrying about the stitches anymore. X x

ahh good i am so worked up bout it but tbh my drains hurt so much they cnt be as bad as dat. x thanks babe

IM MEGA WORRIED ABOUT GETTING MY TAPE OFF ON MONDAY

sleeping upright i thought i’d hate as i love sleeping on my front because its actually more comfy for me after boob job its ok. just dying to be back to normal and have a proper shower and stuff.

EMZZY… i had problems with my drains that during my over night stay I actually pulled the left one out still painful a week on and drain obviously were only in one night.

I didnt sleep upright at all, i was only told to sleep on my back but it gave me back ache trying to sleep more up then normal. Although ifound it hard i can now sleep on my side from day 4 (leant over anyway at the minute my boobies get in the way lol)

I am pretty much back to normal, i can raise my arms fine and do everything except lift my children. Xxx

Kassandra babe aww hun r u ok thats awful! i nearly fainted evry tym i wanted to go look as i had to pick em up :S eWW! was not nice yeh i kept pulin on mine wen they took mine out god it hurt lyk ******! but am over it now cnt wait for em to get stitches out nd start FLUFFING!! xxxx nd cnt wait to sleep on my back altho wen i wake up i end up almost flat!

Ive been sleeping almost completely upright, basically how i was in hospital, I can put hands above head etc fine (dont know if i should be as heard you can stretch stichs) but bending over is mega sore, just dying to get tape off 2mo hoping i’ll feel so much better and cleaner etc… and im dying to see them, ive had UNDERS will they still change size/shape over next few weeks? xx

im almost 4 weeks post op an slep on my side for first time last night just cos i havent felt ready to till now xx woke up on my back slightly upright haha x

kassandra, your boobs will still change quite a bit over the next few weeks hun, mine didnt really look like they do now, until about 8/9 weeks, theyve stayed the same pretty much since.

I had drains too..looking back, i think thats what caused me most pain when I started to sleep on my side x

Hey i didnt sleep upright at all. just lay on back with an extra pillow for two weeks then on my side normal from wk 2 x
