    So I had my op yesterday at 7pm and I never expected it to hurt this much!! Anyone who’s had unders when did it start to ease off? Also I find the breast band unbearable ? they are so swollen and rock hard I know I’m being a bit of a wuss but I didn’t think t would be this painful! X

    Hey Zoe I’m 2 weeks 4 days post op with unders and still struggle it’s been a painful emotional journey I too didn’t realise the pain it has got easier I’d say by day ten I still feel very sore in the mornings and can’t manage a whole night unsettled sleep but slowly day by day it gets easier. I didn’t wear a breast band thankfully don’t think I could have coped with that as well! Just remember to take your painkillers every 4 hours I ran out so got Co codamal from chemist..so hang in there it does get easier and they will start softening up from week 2..mine are but feels strange .I hope you start to feel better soon xx

    Thankyou for your reply Claire I’m pleased it’s starting to get a bit easier for you, I honestly never thought it would be this bad I’m on day 3 now and still can’t keep any food down and constantly feel sick. I’ve been taking cocodamol but not sure if that’s what’s making me sick! Either that or it’s the anaesthetic still in my body. Everyday I’ve wished I never got it done and end up crying, babyish I know but with a two year old to look after I’m really struggling. Hope everything gets better for you it seems like such a long drawn out process just hope it’s worth it in the end xxx

    It defo eases up after 2 weeks hun. Then it’s just uncomfortable for a little while and then you forget u had your boobs done as they feel back to normal. I’m 8 weeks +3 days now and on the very odd occasion get a bit of nerve discomfort but generally I feel back to normal. Xx

    Hey Zoe sorry to hear you been sick too..maybe try paracetamol give up the Co codamol I’ve seen quite a few posts with girls saying the same luckily I did the experience the sickness God that must hurt. ..I do feel for you especially with a little one to tend to. My kids are 13 so pretty independent but not very helpful ? . I too was the same wishing I never had it done I felt so guilty because it was something I chose to put myself through..but honestly it really does get easier bit by bit day by day it’s not babyish at all I cried to my other half and my mum and I’m 36! Ha but the worst is over for me still get pains and a lot of discomfort. Do you have any support with your two year old? You will be happy when the pain has gone and they start to settle it is a long journey I never really knew that I be putting myself through all this but it’s done now so gotta play the waiting game. I do hope you start to feel better soon hun..xxx

    Ah well thankyou both for the reassurance I feel better now I suppose it’s a bit of an emotional roller coaster. Hey Claire I stopped taking the cocodamol this morning and I’ve not been sick since! Swapped over to paracetamol and feel better for it. Yeah I’ve got support from my partner and mum when they’re not at work but like you said I feel guilty and selfish for having it done even though I’ve wanted it for years especially after breastfeeding! But my daughter doesn’t understand why I can’t pick her up or really do much with her I just can’t wait for it all to be over and then I keep panicking myself what if I don’t like what they look like when they’ve healed! But yeah definatley feeling better after stopping the cocodamol. It’s lovely to talk to other people going through the same thing makes you feel less alone I didn’t know how emotional I would be because of it but I’ve cried everyday since having it done! It’s hard being female that’s for sure lol xxxx

    Hey zoe glad your not being sick now the tablets are strong I needed mine on the dot every 4 hours.. I definitely agree it’s an emotional rollercoster I thought given birth was painful! I’m a little worried about my results as my right boob looks a little like double bubble..the implant is above my breast crease it kind of looks like a dent it’s been like that since day 1 am just hoping it sorts itself out I just keep thinking it won’t and I don’t want to go through this pain again I’m 3 weeks post op tomorrow so still a long way to go they are smaller than I imagined they would be but I’m hoping to love them soon…it sure is hard being a female lol! Hope you get some well missed cuddles with your little one soon xxx
