Update surgery yesterday morning but still here in lots of pain…..

Hey girls, so I managed more sleep last night and ended up in the living room on my new sofa. Woke up sitting up dead straight and the pain just kicked in. The morning’s are the hardest for me. I took the muscle relaxers at 5am and then the painkillers at 6.30. Hoping I can go til 12 before taking anymore. Don’t want to use them all up and then have a crap painful night. My bum going numb is the problem at night. I heard someone say hot water bottle helps…have you tried that? Also woke up cold and shivering and that caused more pain. How did you manage to sleep @Rebecca and @hayley xxx

Morning girls I had the worst nights sleep ever was in a lot of pain and couldn’t get comfortable the band is really digging in and I feel quite sick I think it’s all the pain killers. The pressure feels very heavy at the moment is it ever going to settle down lol xx

Oh hun! I feel your pain! My incisions seem to be itching which I’m guessing is a good sign that they are healing and I’m feeling a lot of pressure too. Assuming this is the swelling and where the tape is wrapped around. Hopefully we are getting over the worst of it babe xx

I hope so not feeling to great today feels like I’ve been run over lol xx

Itchings a really good sign !! I did manage to sleep a bit but was incredibly uncomfortable kept slipping down the back rest sore bum back ache the lot . I rang the clinic and said I was still in excrutiating pain !? They said I could call my own gp and they can prescribe the tramadol .. but that just made me feel off my head rather than subside any pain 🙁 dear me …

I’m hoping it gets easier for us girls I wish I had been more prepared for the recovery wasn’t aware it would be this painful. Hope your all feeling a little better xxxx

We’re allowed to unstrap the Macon band for a bit to breathe .. then fasten it up again after .. xxxx

Is yours digging under your armpits that’s what mine is doing xxxx

Yea it’s digging it I feel like my sides n rib is super swollen which isn’t helping .. are you going to trim your band ?? The white tape band comes off at the appointment and the Macon strap after four weeks .. . I can’t wait to be like 2 weeks post op lol . Feel like a rubbish mumma can’t pick my baby up so anything or hug the others .. gonna have to send my baby back with my mum when she’s goes in a few days :(. Feeling sad and selfish . Just had my third lot of pain killers today . What time did you have your surgery girls I think I must of been last as I woke up in recovery at 8pm that day .

I loosened my band up a bit and it helped me breath. It’s my daughters birthday today so have the family up! Everyone is running around. My God!! It’s the night that’s the worse and the morning. I can’t lift my little one up. My mum left at 4.30 so had 2 hours alone until my husband got in. Literally within 10 mins of mum leaving she caught her fingers in the door. Couldn’t do anything and all she wanted was to cuddle. I’m hoping this is all getting easier now. I think sleeping more has helped. Got some energy. Making sure to eat protein based food.

My admission was 7.30am and I stayed over night as was in so much pain I had a panic attack coming round from the GA so I don’t think that helped. Iv loosened my band as it was digging in under my armpits and making them really sore. My chest feels so heaving like there’s so much pressure and I can’t breath that’s what I’m finding hard and not being able to move my arms. I hope these boobs are worth it haha xxx

I am moving a lot better than yesterday but just noticed what I think may be swelling near the incision site. Is that normal? I can’t wait to get this tape off and be told everything is OK. Think that’s worrying me now. I hope it gets better for you soon hun. In dreading bed time. ????????

Apparently they are water pockets and will go soon. FYI x

How did u know u had swelling there Hun I can’t see nothing through this tap and can’t feel a thing it’s so tight 🙁 xx

I can feel it over the tapping. It’s on my right side and think it’s just where I use that side more. My incisions are starting to itch so stroke them to relieve the itchiness that’s when I noticed it being a little more swollen in that area. I’m getting shooting pains too. Read that somewhere on here though. Took painkillers at 5 today and have so far managed without. Am propped up ready to sleep on the sofa again. There’s of pressure building up now. How are you feeling hun? @racey x

I’m still feeling a lot of pressure Hun also propped up on the sofa lol but dosent matter how I try and sit I never feel relaxed or comfortable it’s so frustrating. I keep getting funny sensations in my boobs it’s hard to explain kind of like there getting bigger do u feel like that? Are u feeling any better now xx
