    Hi doll, have you taken your pain relief? I wanted to try and go without the one they give you to take home with but felt really achey and a bit flustered without it. As soon as I kept taking it regularly for a few days everything settled down. Hope you’re ok! It’s all worth it in the end you’ll sit back in a few weeks & wont even remember the pain etc 🙂

    i had the worst first week ever, and it’s still painful now. take your meds on time and don’t lift a finger seriously. i had internal stitching done to my breast muscle to repair it plus 700ccs put in so i was bed ridden for over a week and soooo bloated that i looked and felt and ate like a 6month pregnant lady…take laxatives drink coconut water take meds are you seeing ur monthly?? i was…and boy the symptoms are 100 times worse!!!!! eat pineapple for quick healing, porridge to stop bloat, avacado’s because they’re nice and protein for energy and healing fish for your hair that you won’t get to wash, peppermint tea for the bloat and wind, water water water is bland and boring but it helps. breathe deep and slow, again…take ur meds you will be sleepy just rest and in a week you will be better trust me i thought i was going to die. xxx

    Leila I feel like you did also with kidney pain too.
    What’s with the bloating, its not due to constipation because I went loads yesterday before the operation (not been since though)
    I’m drinking loads of fluids and mouth is still bone dry so finding it hard to get food down. Xx

    bloating is due to fluids being put in you through i.v during the op, it all migrates downwards after causing bloating, this bloating will get worse if you do not poop!! medication makes your mouth dry try coconut water eat banana’s and lots of watermelon!! if you can’t eat anything yet try little and often, not only will this keep your metabolic rate up but it will get you back into the habit of having meals. i’m not sure about the kidney pain hun, was that a prob before the op?? try things like nuts not salted though…brazil and almonds they’re good for you. mangoes are good too. if you are bloated but still going loo then its def the fluids retaining…just be patient i wanted to hide away in my 1st week now the bloating is going down and i don’t have to wear joggers for much longer…

    Hi Leila , thanks for advice & tips . I feel like I’ve been trampled on by a horse .
    Just on way home about 2 to 3 hr drive . I’m quite concerned about my face being so red and very hot to touch . I’ve spoken to hospital and they think it maybe the side affects of the muscle relaxants so have advised me to stop taking them and to take tramadol instead . Hope your feeling better . I’m also panicking over size lol and hope I’ve done right thing did you experience this too ? X

    lol…size…ummm what can i say i wanted to be a size ff and i asked, no, begged for 700cc’s i got them and they look more like an ee cup…but i have been told they will get bigger as they drop…now i’m ok with the size haven’t fully dropped yet one is bigger than the other and one is higher than the other so please don’t be upset when you get the bandages taken off i wanted to cry…apparently this is normal so i am praying and waiting for them to even up. i had fears of size, silicone, shape etc its normal…i left the hospital no wiser than when i went in…i’m 12 days post op qnd have only now found out i have 700cc OVERS!! which i did not want, as they drop faster over the muscle but my breast muscle was badly damaged so he couldn’t put the implant behind the muscle, i am now so scared that i have been researching like crazy about overs!!! but yes all your fears are normal and you will be happier in a week or two…i promise. imagine having your period on top of all that pain and bloat…lol and you say your face was hot!! i had hot flushes up until yesterday i’ve been a pain in the arse to everyone around me so hun…relax you’ll be fine x

    Hi Leila
    I didn’t have any problems with my kidneys before but the pain as gone now.
    Oh having your period at the same time is just cruel, as though you didn’t have enough to deal with. How’s your pain now? Xx

    hi gail, i usually go painless during the day but when evening hits like now, i am so tired and the pain is bad again…i have taken 2 ibuprofen and two paracetamols that should do the trick…i hope!! i have the worst back pain and skin is sore even if my hair touches it, i’ve just read that the nerves need re-training so one of the best ways to re-train them is to use a vibrator?? well…i did and lets just say i’m totally relaxed now lol!! just kidding…you gotta rub it over your boobs to get the nerves back on track!! 😉
