Day 2 post op

I am in the worst pain ever worse than yesterday and the day of my op. Today I have thrown up and the pain seems to be worse. Someone please tell me they have experienced this? And it will be over soon? As soon as I woke from my op I was in pain xx

I couldn’t imagine trying to take a photo without whiting out this pain is unreal x

What did you have? I had unders almost two weeks ago, and my second day was the worst! Honestly day 3/4 is much better, it was for me! Keep going it will all be worth it!!! Xxx

I had overs (I’m 9 days post op) but I found day two the worst – I think it’s because the anaesthetic has worn off.. Are you taking co-codamol that made me really dizzy and sick, once I stopped taking that I generally felt much better and was able to handle the pain. It will all start getting better soon!! xxx

I had unders on Monday, bin taking co codomal as often as I can because I’m in so much pain. My belly feels like it is burning just under my bra. Really appreciate ur replys too girls thank you xx

Could try an ice pack? I used them all the time and really found they help? Just make sure you put something between you and the pack so it doesn’t make you wet.. Hope you find something to make you more comfortable Xx

Hi I had mine done yesterday under aswell and I can honestly say I’m in agony I can’t move at all. I’ve been told by day 3/4 I should feel miles better I hope so anyway. I hope you feel better soon xx

Hello, I’m 8 days PO and I felt exactly like you! It brought tears to my eyes every time I moved! The co codamol made me sick so the nurse told me to stop taking it!
The pain is getting better but I’m still sore on my right hand side as that’s very bruised still! Just grin and bare it Hun…it will get better! Promise!! But if I knew it would hurt as much as it has I don’t think I would of had it done, I don’t think i quite realised! ?? I had 480cc unders xxx hope you feel better soon!

God you girls are scaring me, day 2 post op is tomorrow can’t wait for the pain (not) haha

Omg I am exactly the same my right side feels a lot worse and more stiff. I’m like a big baby and cannot move without pain. Have you taken anything else instead of the co codamol? Right now I’m thinking what have I done it is so not worth this pain xx

I just took paracetamol/ibuprofen! It didn’t really help take the pain away! But ice pack on the tops really did help! It’s a nightmare first thing in the morning ?? as thats when your the stiffest! ?? but I’ve been in your position! This time last week I was thinking Nooo! This is unbearable! But just rest as much as you can! Don’t over do it as that’s when it will hurt the most ?? xxx

How are you feeling now? Have u been able to get ur self dressed and out the house? What about washing yourself? Xxx

I’m day 2 post op too & same feeling, burning/stinging type sensation under bra strap where dressings are, too scared to look as don’t want to poke around! Still in abit of pain on & off so hoping tomorrow will be easier xx

I’m sure to god I keep hearing stomach noises coming from my boobs to xx

Aww hope you don’t get to bad Louise I wouldn’t wish this pain on any body xxx

I have heard noises from the boobs is normal! My friend had it! Also Cocodemol makes me sick as a dog! Worst thing ever! Maybe lay off the Cocodemol and take ibropfrofen or paracetamol! Use ice packs, and heat on your back if that’s hurting! Hope that helps! Pain is probably from your incisions! Xxx

@lauren
I feel better now!..I can move around but can’t obviously lift things, I struggle to wash myself so my boyfriend helps me have shallow baths! And I’m still getting my hair blow dryed at the hairdressers! I still haven’t driven yet thou!
I’ve just got a pool of blood under the skin on my right side hence why it’s so painful but hopefully that will re absorb or it may need draining! Have you got strapping on or a breast band and Macom bra xx

I had nothing on atall when I woke up and the nurse put my macom bra on before I left. I took it off and changed bra to a marks n Spencer’s sports bra because it felt like it was cutting in at my armpits but this bra feels like it is doing the same xxx

I was exactly the same, I had nothing on after my surgery which felt really weird ans then the nurse put my bra/breast band on which was so odd as my boobs felt so sensitive ??

How are you feeling today!? Just think of Christmas as you should be pretty much getting there pain wise by then! ?? xxx

Oh god I was hoping I’d feel better tomorrow ? I’m still in a lot of pain, I can move my left arm more than the right and my bra just feels SO tight. The past 3 days have been so long, boring and painful. That’s if I’m even 3 days in. I didn’t wake up till 3 on Monday and have felt nothing but pain since. Any slight movement and the pain is worse. Taking my bra of puts me in so much pain to xxx

Are u still sleeping lay up xxx

Morning Lauren! Day 3 2day & I thought it would have been abut easier, woke at 6am in tears so so painful (but hey I wanted these bad boys!) haha! On a serious note I’ve had under the muscle so assuming this is longer & more painful recovery? Feel like carrying very large boulders in my chest! Slept upright since op on Monday not comfortable & back is aching ? going 2b a long day girls! Xxx

I’m really starting to think what have I done now? I think id rather have just a nipple than this pain. It just seems never ending and the sleeping up right is killing me off! But I honestly think if I did lay flat I would never get back up xxx

I know Lauren it’s so hard being in this pain does make me think the same!..however keep reading everyone’s comments & thinking it’s got to get better after 5-7days keep strong Hun we can do it! ????xx

Haha im glad someone can stay positive ? I’ve bin thinking what if I never get better wat if something is wrong ? I didn’t realise how Mard I actually am xxx

Heya 🙂 I’m nearly 5 weeks post op and the pain I had at the beginning seems ages ago now. I’m so happy with my new boobies I would go through it again any day. I felt awful for the first 4 days and then I was feeling back to normal, week 3 was quite bad again as the pain came back in one side but now I’m washing my hair and driving again I feel back to normal 🙂 I had 485cc unders. I felt exactly the same, but once a few more days pass you will be feeling better 🙂 xxx

Thanks Hun makes me feel better ???xx

I’m having my op tomorrow girls so just think while you are coming to the end of your pain I will just be starting with it! Lol omg im so scared now xx

Hi Natalie hope we haven’t put u off ? not goin to lie it does bloody hurt! BUT that’s why I came in here to hear how every1 else was doin so you don’t feel on your own, it’s helped me knowing what to expect & how other girls r dealing with it etc..you will b fine I’m sure just keep on top of painkillers every 4-6hrs & lots of rest! Gud luck xx

Hello @louise and @lauren

How are you feeling today!? I’m 10 days PO and today is the best I’ve felt so far but I’m still taking painkillers as the pain has not yet gone completely!
I honestly had no idea that it was going to be as painful as it was and I’m so shocked that I’ve managed to get through it! Keep going girls! I totally agree with the sitting up sleeping position…my back is in agony and I’ve noticed my shoulders are starting to stoop forwards to try and overcompensate! ?

Xx

@zoebobs
Hi I’m better today with sitting myself up, it’s still painful and I’m still in pain in general but it’s nothing like day 1 and 2 and 3 even ?
My shoulders are curling forward too it’s like a hunch back at the top.
I can’t believe you are still in pain after ten days, you have 5 days on me and don’t think I can bare another 5.
I can feel mine getting really tight when I stay still for too long and my right is much worse than my left. I’m counting the days till I can sleep flat! When do you next see someone at mya xxx

Well reading these comments makes me feel better woke up barely able to move my left arm this morning, by far my worst day and I had mine done Tuesday! I feel better knowing that it’s not just me no normal for it to be worse in one side! Can barely do anything at all! Total nightmare 🙁 x

well reading all your comments has made me giggle as you’ve all just described exactly how I’m feeling. I had mine done on Tuesday, going from an A cup having 350cc indeed and the pain I’ve had since is awful. Nothing I do or take helps and the fact I can’t sleep either is killing me. My left side hurts more than my right, my back feels like it’s breaking and I literally can’t move. I had a nosey at my new boobs today for the first time since coming round from the op and I had abit if a shock, the shape of them I hope is normal and hopefully will change in time as they look like cones ? but it felt strange just looking at boobs rather than just nipples haha. It makes me feel a little better reading all your comments as I no we’re not alone. I hope you all feel better soon xx

Day 5 post op & I’ve got 2 say today’s been a good day..yey!! Not in half as much pain as I have been, seems to have eased lots, down to only my antibiotics & paracetamol twice today!?? sleep isn’t great (which is the most frustrating as my back & neck is killing) looking forward to getting this awful strap off next wk its crushing my chest! Onwards & upwards tho girls ??xx

Reading this has made me feel so much better! Had my op on Thursday and I have been in agony. The strapping is so tight it’s hard to take deep breaths and I feel like I’m going to tear my incisions- horrible!! My back is also killing so I have a long heat pad that goes in the microwave and stays warm for an hour or so, it’s really helping my back and neck pain. I can feel fluid just under my strapping which is worrying me but I am seeing the nurse on Wednesday. hope I feel better for Christmas as I am soooo uncomfortable. Keeping going ladies it will be worth it xxx

End of day 5 for me too still in pain but it’s a million times better than the last couple of days! Today I managed to straighten my hair and I couldn’t imagine ever showering or doing anything for myself ever again on Wednesday!! But it gets better hang in there girls ? it best be worth it cos I have a pair of cones too!! ? xxx

??? luv it Lauren!! X
Yes Amelia it’s really helped me stay positive being on here to hear everyone’s stories! Not bin easy but hopefully we will all be made up with them in a month or so ????xx

I’m not wishing pain upon anyone but it’s so reassuring that I’m not the only one going through agony on day 2! Yesterday I was in so much pain with my back after having to sleep upright to a level where I felt like I had to be sick it was that bad! I used some deepheat on my back to help the pain through the night and feel a lot better today although seem to be having more pain in my right boob than my left but I think this is normal as I’m right handed. My incisions are hurting a little today too, I don’t know if it’s because of the weight/ pressure? Hope you’re all feeling better xx

@Louise how are you feeling now? Reading all your comments above really puts me off having the surgery. I’m still in my research phase and wondering whether it’s worth it…?

Hi anamaria! Well I’m 15days post op 2day & feeling so much better than the 1st week! I had sub muscular surgery so I’m aware it’s a longer recovery but was back at work this week & driving so starting 2 feel more normal now! Only concern is that my scars look very red & is sore to touch the skin around them, it looks abut red so goin bk in 2moz just to Chk all is ok & hope there is no infection ?? apart from that all looking good ?xx

Reading all these comments are making me feel slightly positive, I’ve been in agony since getting home on Wednesday morning I’ve totally lost my appetite can’t sleep can’t get comfy at all my mums has been doing absolutely everything for me, I get really sharpe pains with my strapping on so I keep taking it on and off did anyone else leave the strapping off at all? I’m trying to wear it as much as I can x

I never had strapping but I swapped my tight bra for a loose one and my boobs seemed to get a lot more swollen and had a bigger space between them. I’d keep it on xx

Okkk thankyou how are you now ?xx

I still have pain and swelling. I keep getting a really weird pain in my back on left side in the morning too like I have a bad chest but in my back xx
