Feeling really down :-(

Well it’s day 3 post op and I think I feel worse than yesterday. I can deal with he stiffness but now I feel really bad soreness where the incisions are they feel burning and so sure. Is this normal? And please tell me when I’m going to start feeling better now as this is just too much 🙁 also started feeling sick from medss now which is another thing and I’ve stopped talking co co codamol but still feeling sick.

Heyy a few girls on here have said day 3/4 can be the worst for me it wasn’t as everyone is different, but it will get better soon I promise, the meds could be a bit strong for you again everyone is different, ring the nurse and ask what else you could take instead as they make you feel sick as for burning i’m not sure hun i’d speak to nurse about that aswell! Hope you feel better soon xx

Hey hun, have a super chilled weekend and I promise by Monday you’ll be feeling so much better. I’m 5 weeks po today and I was doing my house Work day 6 but 2-4 was rough to say the least. Hope your ok huni. Just try to enjoy having some lazy days. It’s all worth it. Xxx

Hey girlies

I’m literally starting to think that something is wrong with the operation as noone else is seeming to be in this much pain (not that us want to inflict my pain upon anyone else!!) but im worried as I have a high pain threshold but this is just untolerable. I thought I was getting better yesterday as felt much better but then today I feel like I’ve taken 10 steps back. I’m in absolute agony I think 3 nights of no sleep and no starting to feel so sick on top of it all is making me want to cry!!! In fact I’m in so much pain that I can’t produce tears lol!! And I keep getting hot flushes as on period and oh it’s just a nightmare. Meesh so I will really feel better by day 5???? Really. Ok so two more days of this…… 🙁 I really hope in two days ill be writing a post saying something else!!!

hey zoe ..hang in there babe , I think everybody is different tbh I was dreading day 3 as it seems to be bad for a lot of ladies on ere n I was great day 4 great , day 5 n 6 wow I was bad I was up at 330am cryin in pain n lack of sleep plus I got my period so that didn’t help .. im nearly 4 weeks now and it seems a distant memory away , youll be fine and it will all be worth it in the end . . it was the meds makin me poorly soon as I stopped takin them I was fine , I was sooo bloated it hurt .. youll be feeling better soon xxx

Awww thsnks Jessica. Today is definitely the worst. I know everybody heals at different rates so shouldn’t be focusing on what I think is normal to be on here!! These hot flushes are not helping and feeling so sick from the meds is not helping at all. Omg I’m so bloated too and I have barely eaten in 3 days its a joke!! I sooooo hope guys by Monday I’m feeling on top of the world 😐

Poor you it is so hard the first week but before you know it you will feel yourself again xx

i felt like i was havin panic attacks at one point ..i cudnt breath or hold a conversation for long i had to pull my bra out under my boobs to talk ..that feels ages away now haha yep get the first week done with n youll be great x x

I don’t think this tight strapping is helping as I feel like my chest and ribs are crushed to pieces!! Can’t wait to get it off but so scared of seeing them for the first time!!

I found day 3-4 were the worst hun you should start feeling more comfortable soon xx

Thanks Kristy! I really would do ANYTHING to not feel in so much pain anymore! I hope they will be worth it!!!!

oooh i didn’t have strapping on just plasters under the insicions i was terrified , i over done it tho thinkin i cud reach for things and washin my hair over the bath shavin my arm piits ect ..all the things that cud have waited a week for till i got the all clear of nurse i tried to do ..big mistake , one of my insicions opened slightly so was back to square one restin n bein careful …heeled nicely tho now which i was concerned about ..uploadin some new pics today x

Oh nooooo Jessica I couldn’t imagine not being able to shower for another 5 days!! It’s been three days and I feel so dirty and rank!!! But omg I can’t even make myself anything to eat let alone washing my hair and shaving etc….even wiping my underarms with a baby wipe is a killer 🙁

i was allowed to shower she redressed me with water proof plaster things and gave me extra ones aswell … i had a shallow bath on day 4 aswell .. hubby was back at work so i thought id try n freshen up i got in it ok i left my bra on made sure i didn’t get my top half wet but i cudnt get out hahaha i struggled for a while it was funny now lookin back .. but i felt soo much better … just take it easy babe x x

You’ll feel better soon, if you still feel poorly go to the doctors. The antibiotics given to me made me extremely unwell I felt as though I was having a reaction to the implants and my body was rejecting them. I was being sick and was sweating and it was awful. My sickness began on day 2 and ended up at the doctors on day 4. But it will get better, as soon as I stopped taking the medication and started the stuff my doctor gave me I was fine and back to myself. But it is so scary when your in so much pain I completely understand. Keep going girl! You can do it 😀 xx

Oh Hannah bless you it sounds like you had a tough time too!! I don’t feel no way bad in terms of sickness as you do. To be honest I haven’t been eating enough and with all the tablets I’m taking its started to take effect on me today so going to make an effort to eat properly today! When you think the pain cannot get any worse it does!! Today’s the worst but I will stick in there girls and hopefully by Monday I will be a new woman haha! 🙂

make sure u eat something before takin the meds that will make u feel worse not eating .. try some toast at least x x x

You can do this, Zoe! Not long now!! Don’t forget, you get a free cookie by the end of the week for being such a brave girl 😀 haha!! Lots and lots of hugs from Liverpool!!xx

Hi Zoe
I’m sorry to hear your feeling so awful but please trust me it does get better, I was the same as you and like you I thought something was wrong because not many were complaining of the same but we are all built different. I thought I was dying lol (forever the drama queen) but I’m loads better and you will be too, bout day 5/6 you will feel so much better. Don’t get me wrong I’m still in discomfort but its bearable, I’m still having loads of discomfort at bed time, can’t get comfy St all and lots of discomfort but I know one day there’ll be none and I’ll be able to sleep properly.
I would still take medication because you need to control the pain so if your not happy with the co-codomol then take paracetomol and Ibuprofen, its very important that you try and take control of the pain.
I was advised to stop the tramadol because if nausea but in the end I carried on with it because my main concern was to stop the pain.
Xx

Hehe how could I forget about the cookie!!!!

Gail I’ve stopped the co codamol and taking ibuprofen and paracetamol but to be honest I still feel sick so I don’t even think its the painkillers I just think its just too many tablets but hating this sick feeling today. And feeling so bloated and I haven’t barely eaten since Tuesday but my belly looks pregnant it’s disgusting. I just feel gross all over and in agony and feeling very sleep deprived and sorry for myself today lol!!! Thsnks for all your positive comments girlies it is much appreciated believe me 😀

I know I sound like i’m doing really well but as soon as the solpadeine and co wears off I feel awful. When this strapping comes off i’m going to cry with joy lol, pretty sure it’s making things a thousand times worse…x

Joanna I whatsapp you now!! and if you girls are all stiff make sure you walk around the house try and get up just doing over do it. sitting down for ages can actually make you feel worse and make the pain worse you need to move about x x x

Well I have been walking alot around the house as I’ve read to do this to stop getting stiff but I can’t say I feel any better for it!! Deffo the worst day so far!! I’m going to go for a walk in the garden now…wow aren’t I a rebel hey!

Rinaule omg just seen your new boobie pictures and OMG they look so voluptuous and juicy!!! The size and shape look amazing!!! How did you find the pain of BA compared to rhinoplasty btw as was considering rhinoplasty next year but not so sure now!!!…

🙁 i hope you feel better soon! just think it will be worth it very soon! and im pretty sure i heard once that when you are on your period, your pain threshold is lower.? so just put ur feet up and try and sleep as much as possible. you heal quicker when asleep with anything 🙂 hope it gets easier for you hun xx

Listen to Rinaule! Best advice ever. Think i would of had a thousand panic attacks without her lol!
Lol and look at my last pic I’ve uploaded, thats how much I dislike the strapping! x

haha thank you, well this BA was by farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr the worse experience iv ever had I thought I was dying I was going to ring up the hospital to take the implants out as I thought they were poisoning me LOL hated it, not something id want to go through again even tho i will , i do think back now and think you dick i was such a drama queen! rhino was fine I was out shopping after 1 week with my cast on didn’t care, but do take it easy its a lot easier as you can still move about etc, its the after math with swelling that’s hard its more emotionally difficult! but im fine now I love it x x

Ahahaaaa Joanna that’s jokes!!!! You actually had made little holes!!! I might frickin try that!!! My nurse made me put my sports bra over strapping so have that on too!!

Haha yes! I got little nail scissors and just started chopping away.. I had a courtesy call from MYA so I double checked if I could snip as Rinaule advised. I needed my mums help really, i look like i’ve just come out of the jungle. Where i’m so bloated the strapping was literally suffocating me! xx

Hmmm I really might try this….really f*cked off as can’t open doors to get out into garden as way too heavy so now I feel more annoyed and frustrated than before!!

I feel your pain. I cant open any cupboards nor press the button to flush the loo. It’s so weird, is your strapping itchy? I think im just a generally paranoid person lol! My boobies are starting to hurt again – obviously wearing off >:-( x

I really was looking forward to my walk in the garden!!! Now I’m just p*ssed that I can’t get out!!!
Oh god pushing the button for loo is a killer!! I hope I haven’t done damage trying to open doors as my arms feel tender now!! Grrrr!! Did the nurse not make you put on sports bra ova strapping?? This is killing me even more. I’m tempted to go get some scissors and try some creative hole making…

”creative hole making” haha. No nurse didn’t ask me to put sports bra on, i was surprised but thinking about it, the strapping is enough support let alone the bra too!
Yeah i’ve twinged a few times thinking i’ve done some damage but it honestly gets better! I was too scared to lift the laptop 2 days ago. I do keep getting sharp pangs through my left boob but i’ve seen loads of girls say similiar things. Dont get me wrong i’m worried im doing way to much too soon, but i read it’s better then doing nothing x

You know what I just took a stroll for 15 mins around the house (was really fun) and I feel so much better as it does make you less stiff so every 30 minutes from now on I’m going to do that! And yeh I was like wtf when nurse made me put it on and she was like (in her polish accent) ‘ you have too it’s better for you’ 😐 what better in the fact they are making me want to suffocate!!! Do you think I should take it off seeing as you haven’t got it on and that’s what the strapping does?? I just pulled down the top bit of our strapping a little bit and wow it feels nice to have some air in it! Gosh that strapping is going to hurt when coming off its going to pull my nice tan from Vegas off! Are you bloated Joanna?? My belly looks so big it’s gross and I haven’t barely eaten a thing since the op!!! Going to take some laxatives tonight and I’ve never had to take laxatives ever!!

And yeh how weird that all my pain/twinges/throbbing is left boob only. Nothing going on in the right!

I had to take laxatives and that made mere feel a bit better within myself so I would advice it Zoe.
Reading your reports are taking me back to last week when I was feeling like you. It does get easier. Xx

So strange! I never thought of laxatives thats not a bad shout. But it says about not mixing? would that include laxatives? I’m so bloated. I literally have a pot belly!
Well i dont see why you would need a sports bra and strapping as they do the same thing? But I’m not the expert hun. Have you not had your courtesy call yet? Ask about it then..? I would be having a fit if i had a sports bra on top of this strapping! cant wait to see the new twins!
Hey Gail hope you dont mind the add, it’s good to read up on other peoples boobie journeys. xx

Gail my hubby bought me some senakot so it says to take it before bedtime so I’m going to give it a shout tonight. I’ve never needed to take anything EVER as I’m always regular so it seems strange but I need this side pot belly to go back to where it came from!!!

Yeh the nurse has been good and rang me the last two days. I might email my PC to see if I can take this sports bra off as I can’t see its necessary if we have the strapping.

I’m pleased to say girlies I feel more perkier this afternoon. Not sure if it’s to do with this walking around house every 30 minutes! Might get hubby to wash my hair over Bath tonight but it’s so long and thick it’s going to be such an effort so don’t know to wait till Monday night the day before my post op as I won’t be going out the house before then anyway?

That’s fine Joanna I’ve accepted.
Laxatives will be fine with your meds or you can get pure prune juice but be careful with the prune juice if you drink it all you will be having a very good quick detox if you get my meaning lol and if you don’t drink it all you’ll just get cramps xx

Zoe I suffer from quite bad IBS so I think I’m a expert in laxatives I’ve tried them all, colonics too lol, senokat are good xx

Oh that’s good the hear they are good. They are in chocolate form so I shall munch on one before bedtime!

We many days seem you post op now Gail? Just seen your pictures and wow your boobies look sooo natural and such a lovely shape and size. You must be so pleased! 🙂

Silly iPhone. It was meant to say ‘how many days post op are you now Gail?’**

Thanks Zoe, I’m 10 days post op now and every day I love them a little more, still can’t believe they’re mine lol xx
