TO ALL THE GIRLS WITH "BOOBIE BLUES"

**Re-posting as I’m now 8 weeks, almost 9, and I see posts every day from girls feeling just like i did.**

This is such a great forum in that pre-op and post op, and even further on post-op girls can all mix together and share experiences.

It’s really, really hard to imagine what next week will be like, let alone a few months when you’re at the very beginning post op stages. You probably feel like total crap right now, sleepless nights, hypochondria, think you’re gonna die, your boobs are wonky, misshaped, one bigger than the other, nipples pointing the wrong way, and you can’t stand up straight because your back aches, can’t lie down cause your boobies kill. And to top it all off you’ve put on god knows how many pounds from the damn medication and can’t do anything about it cause you’re not allowed to exercise. You’re stuck in the house and you can’t drive, and even if you could you wouldn’t cause you feel like crap remember!!

Yeah I know the viscous circle all too well. I had those feelings from week one to week 4, and only recently been feeling that “wow I have boobs and can enjoy them”(I’m 9 weeks post op on saturday).

Just wanted to say, you WILL get through this, you WON’T die, you WILL leave the house again, and your boobies WILL BE MAGNIFICENT!!! hONEST

Follow everything your surgeon said, eat right, get up and get out as much as possible, get fresh air and sunlight, stretch your back and shoulders, take it easy and take time off work if you can, try not to look at your boobs too much in the first few weeks, take advantage of the 24 hour nurse line because they are fab and will help you relax no end, breathe deep, and listen to all the post-op girls on here who have been through what you’re going through now.

YOU WILL SURVIVE!!!!!!!

((((((Hugs)))))) and GOOD LUCK!! xxxx

Newboobies i remember reading this in my few days po and it made me smile lol hit the hammer on the head well said xx

Wow what a great post!

I am pre BA and Im not looking forward to feeling like that. But at least I’ll know it’s totally normal and I can come on here for support as you girls have been there. Thanks x

this has been really useful and reasuring, thank you, im only 3days post op and feel so so depressed about well nearly everything…………good to know other people are actualy going through same/similar emotions.

i had a cry today in the changing rooms in m&s because i was told to buy e&f bras by nurse and pc and they are to big had to go out and buy dds instead!!!!!

feeling very ……….. do you think they will grow? i hope so so so much!!

xx

I’m hsving the wordy day I’m so tired,stressed, bored just cried for no reason

I see a few new faces going through these feelings right now, so bumping this post. Hope it helps

amazing post newboobies xxxx

made me smile I have to wait until December for my op but at least if/when it does happen to me i’ll know that it is totally normal and I have the girlies on the forum to listen to my moaning haha! MWAH! xx

This has really helped me.

Fab post, thanks newboobies xx

Great post newboobies!! This has very much re assured me x

It was the lack of exercise, the unwashed hair and the swelling that made me down. Take a few walks and get someone to do your hair or go to the hairdressers, you’ll start to feel better x

Oh god yes, get someone to come round and do your hair and nails. Makes the WORLD of difference

Newboobies is it ok to add u hun? I haven’t had my boobs done yet hoping for December

I shall have to take note and remember this post! I’m sure lots of girls have found it helpful!! Xx

Great post Hun Xxxxx

Great post Hun Xxxxx

aargh dats fab hun, n so true xxxx

Yes sure Amy, i’ll add you now. Hope it helps. I know I felt like crap for almost 4 weeks, and it isn’t nice to go through. Makes it easier if you know that what you’re feeling is totally normal xx

Bumping for the newbies x

Hi newboobies, do you mind if I add you. This is such a great post and has just reassured me. Xx

Sure joanne xx

What a brilliant post, haven’t had ba yet but I’ll be sure to remember this one! X

I see a lot of girls post about feeling crappy and worrying their boobs are not big enough, they’ve wasted money etc. Well I just wanted them all to know that they aren’t the only ones to feel that way. It’s normal, and it will pass xx

I have bipolar. I’m a bit scared of this ‘boobie blues’ when I get down it’s really intense and hard to get out of… got things to look forward to though which helps alot I reckon.. like in a month or so when i can wear a pretty bra that’s not aimed to be worn by a 16 year old:) xx

Just make sure to get out and about, breathe the fresh air, get plenty of natural light, eat well, get a pampering (hair, nails etc), things that make you feel good. And try not to look at your boobs every few mins, scrutinising every last mark and twinge, and you’ll be fine
