To all the girls with "Boobie Blues"

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’ve only just come out of it myself (I’m 6 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

Well said newboobies,xxx

newboobies thats a fanastic post xxx

this was really good of you to make the effort to write this. will help a lot of people. well done. how you feeling about yours boobs now? I know you were not happy for a while? xx

THANKYOU NEWBOOBIES!!!

You couldn’t have timed that better..

I’ve been having a bad couple of days. I’m exactly 1 week post-op today, and I’ve been worrying about all kinds of crazy things.

Last night, my boobs were so tight i actually thought they were going to pop. The skin between them was so stretched, I convinced myself it was lifting off and I was about to burst into a mono-boob….

I had to seriously calm myself down!

I’ve also been getting the odd pain in my wounds too – right more than left – so I decided that i must be getting an infection. So got myself all worried about that too!

I saw the nurse today to get my steri-strips off, and I told her all my worries. She was great. Thankfully, she said my wounds look good, which was a relief.

But on my jounrney home from London, I got all hot and bothered on the tube. I was sweating under my boobs, right in my wound site. (never used to sweat there coz didn’t have a crease pre-op!)… So then i started worrying about all the bacteria in my sweat causing an infection…. Arrrggghhh!

I’m not sure there’s anything more bonkers than a woman who’s just had a boob-job..

So thankyou again for your message of hope.. It is very much appreciated.

Lol missmed ur post made me laugh. The things we put ourselves through in the name of boobies!! x

What a lovely post hun! You’re very thoughtful!

xx

It’s unbelievable, isnt it?

If reincarnation exists, I’m definitely coming back as a man…. (or a naturally big-breasted woman)… x

Lol I’d go with man, they get away with far too much! No periods, strict diets or babies etc etc I could go on alll day lol xx

Yeah, you’re right. Even big wabs cant make up for all the other womanly woes..

MrMed it is xx

(ps – ive added anyone on this post who I’m not already friends with, hope thats ok x)

So glad you put that post on newboobies, i’m to have my op in 45 days, not that im counting, so to read that has prepared me xx

Lol missmed I know we do too much for them! :p What size did u have btw xx

Love this post its so true, makes me feel at ease knowing all these feelings are normal xx

I had 525 overs with Singh the God xx

I love this post thank newboobies made me smile. 2weeks and 1 day post op xx

Hi girls newboobies you hit the nail on the head im going to put my story up very soon with pics, but ur comment did make me smile well said xx

I LOVE THIS POST!!!!! I will read this again and again when i have my boobies done x x

THANK YOU xxxx

Good luck to all the pre-op girlies on here. It’s so exciting before the op, and i think that’s part of what makes it so hard after. You get yourself all worked up, excited, nervous, the adrenalin is pumping.. then after the op you’re drained, and reality hits like a ton of bricks! It can send you on a real downer. But honestly, as I said above, you WILL make it through, and you will start to feel happy again. You’ll wake up one day a few weeks into the healing process, and look in the mirror and go “fuck me I’ve got tits” and “not only that but they’re GREAT tits!!”

Hehe, chin up girls xx

PS I am feeling loads better, can’t you tell? For about a week now I’ve been feeling great about my new assets. It all started when i tried on a top that actually made them look amazing and i saw how big they really were, and how soft they are – i can move them about and they even jiggle when i walk LOL. Plus getting back to a normal routine does wonders for your mood xxx

Cant wait for that mirror moment..!!

Glad you’re in boob-happiness, girl. Stay there!!

xxx

Even happier now. ALl the feeling crappy paid off – i’m a 32FF!! Chin up girls xx

Just bumping this for anyone that needs a reminder. 8 weeks on now and I LOVE my boobies

I needed to read this tonight. I haven’t smiled all day. I feel so down. I daren’t look at my scars. I’m certain I’ve misplaced an implant as one of my boobs looks slightly lumpy – I don’t want to go anywhere or hug any one in case they squash marios work. I am not excited about anything and all I do is watch tv and eat chilli crisps which is making me bloat even more. I lost seven pounds prior to my op and now it’s back. I used to gym every day and now I’m just a blob.

I can sympathise there with you anchovie I’m just the same! I lost the weight now after days of endless daytime tv it’s creeping back! Just want my boobies to heal so I can get them measured and start enjoing the fact I have them – finally! x

I want to be able to pick my daughter up soon for a big cuddle! .

That’s the only down side – i’m now ridiculously huge LOL. But I have the all clear to do light gym and running now so no excuse! x

Haha thanks I know- the trouble is all this inactivity has got me watching dinner date and come dine with me which then just makes me hungry xxxxx

I’m hungry for Jez Kyle! I even asked last week at the hospital if my op could be scheduled around the show! But by luck I was third and got to see it all!!!

Can’t watch anything cooking wise as again it makes me so hungry but no one around to cook! x x

this is a brill post thanks xx

Bump just in case it’s needed xxx

I just re read cos I’ve needed your words last few days more than ever!!!

I have commented this thread to bring it to our front page. here u go hun read this xx

this is whyi joined this site in the first place nobody tells you about how you will feel emotionally afterwards and i think hearing about other peoples experiences will make it so much easier for me in two weeks!!!! thankyou x

Yes exactly. I wasn’t prepared for it either. The first week was sort of like “oh right, is that it, over with now then”.. and was a bit of a disappointment. Then after I finally got that damn surgical tape off I realized i still couldn’t enjoy them cause they didn’t look right, i was worried every 5 mins, didn’t want to leave the house as I had no energy and no tops to fit/ copver the sports bra, and a multitude of other things. The feeling just got worse and worse till i felt like pure crap. That finally subsided at about week 4 when i forced myself out on a long walk. I think the fresh air and sunshine brought me round and i sort of said right, let’s get on with it, enough moping lol. About the same time i tried on different tops and bras and started to see my boobs properly for the first time… they were ace

The blues do pass girls.. i think the key to getting through it quickly/ not getting them at all, is to drink lots of water to flush out your system, get outside, move, stretch, and try not to look at your boobs too much in the first few weeks xxx

Bump. Think this is much needed at the moment xx

This is fab! All us Girlies have this in common! I’m not in pain but all ov this is Sooooo true! Thanks newboobies xxxx

I need to ask what is bump ?? Is it to bring thread to top of page ??

milliejo,yes it is,this is quite an important thread, a lot of people can relate to it,honey,xxx

I needed this post just after my op I went into depression:(

anchovie i just read through this and you said that u felt like u had a misshaped implant thats how i feel im 4 weeks po did it go even out?

hey caroline i’m sure anchovie will answer too but just wanted to let you know that one of mine was mishapen too and it has evened out. At only 4 weeks, you’ve got a while to go yet so try not to worry too much hun xx

It appears a lot better but I still see it a bit. I might be imagining it but it’s on my right breast and seems a little square. I’m seeing Mario soon for a 12 week review and I’m going to ask about it I’ll let you know what he says about that type of issue

thanks newboobies i am being patient honest lol xx

6 months post op now (i need to put up some new pics lol), so i thought i’d bump this as i still remember how awful boobie blues feel. Hugs to any of you going through it right now, and congrats on joining the boobies club And GOOD LUCK to all the new girls going for their first consultations or have their ops coming up!! xxx

Bump for all the new girls expecting their ops soon. GOOD LUCK!! XXxxXX

Thanks this post has given me some hope, im just on day 3 now but reslly wish Iwent bigger, if the swelling stopoped right now I think I wouldbe quite happy but I know they ate so swollen still an I reckon I’ll be lucky to measure a C at this rate, I keep looking at all the other girls stats an getting really jealous, going from 32a to 32FF an there is me lying here in so much pain, convinced I have an infection in my left incision an its all for a C cup x

Dont give up yet honey,lots of changes to come,and when you get measured in a few weeks you will be surprised,you eyes will adjust to the size quickly,keep a picture diary to see how they change,a couple of weeks can make such a difference,big hugs.xxxx

Thanks Tina. Im trying to stay positive, I’ve taken a few pics every day which Im going to add today for friends to see. I’d love some fb from people with overs who stayed a similiar size from just 2/3 days post op!! Xxxx

Bump for all the new girls xx
