No sleep…….

Hi ladies, it’s only my first night after op so not surprised I’m struggling to sleep but does anyone have any useful tips, I’m knackered lol. Thinking I might sleep on n off better on the sofa during the day. Any advice would be appreciated xx

Sleep in the first few days is hard my advise is nap when and where your comfortable sofa good as your more supported. In bed put pillow under your knees as its takes the pressure off your spine whilst sleeping upright. If your awake at 2am never mind go on the net look at the new bras you could wear etc.
Good luck x

Aw the first night after op I got 40minutes sleep in total! It was horrendous. Since then I’ve slept on sofa & slept so much better, I took meds just before I was going to sleep & Ive been sleeping 6 hours solid until due next lot! I’m on day 4 now & it’s definitely better, day 2 was my worst. Good luck xxx

Hi, ladies I slept like a baby I’m sorry to hear you couldn’t sleep, maybe because my op was 10am and I had this anaesthetic in my system and didn’t sleep until 10.40pm. I slept on the pillow 4o degrees placement, I was awake in the middle of the night ones but not get up just closed my eyes again.

@kimbers Hihi today is my day 2 a bit afraid everybody told me day 2 and 3 is the worst.

@nikkistephenson1985 how are you? How you feel we have the same size 🙂 mine not really look big but not really see them Hihi and this belt 🙁

Thanks girls it’s just nice to hear your not the only one lol!
Misia I feel sore n achy but manageable, are u using ice packs? I’m trying to not just sit n do nothing but then trying not to do too much either! I’ve got strapping on so can’t really see mine but I think I’m going to be happy with them as I had pretty much nothing before! Xx

I had mine done yesterday morning I was home a hour later, was fine all day no pain or anything just a little bit of aching like I’ve done too many chest presses down the gym lol….I also slept like a baby, went to sleep at 10.30pm straight to sleep (I put my pillows in a V) woke at 6.30am for toilet and then woke back up at 9.30am, was a little stiff when I woke up but I’m fine again now. My left side is massive and swollen but it doesn’t ache and I can move my arm perfect but my right isn’t as swollen but aches more and I can’t lift my arm very well. Typically seeing as I’m right handed….. I’m finding it hard not to do things I’ve bleached the kitchen this morning and made lunch already going to try and chill this afternoon though xx

Kay, did u have unders or overs? Xx

I’ve just had a nap n sone lunch so feeling a bit better after that xx

I’ve got a feeling Kay has had overs! Haha, ? unless you’re just hard as nails! XxX
Nikki by the end of tomorrow you’ll be well on your way to recovery! I feel great today, done lots of things including housework & painted nails/toes, i got mine done Thursday afternoon! Get today & tomorrow out the way & you’re over the worst I rekon xx

Thanks Kimberley, it’s good to have the reassurance xx

I had 350cc hp unders, they’ve given me ibuprofen (2 every 8 hours)cos I’m allergic to paracetamol & codeine which is apparently what they would normally give me xx

Hi ladies I’m not well at the moment exchange belt for bra because was to tight 🙁 can’t do anything I knew will be like that just hope after tomorrow will be better 🙂

@kay wow! You’re recovery was fab for having unders! & I thought u was doing well doing housework on day 4 ?
R you happy with them kay? I’ve had same size & wondering if they’re too small for me ?

@misia you’ll get through it, just grit your teeth & before you know it you’ll be over the worst, it get easier xxxx

Haha I actually think they do look small Kimberley but I have read on here they can take up to 3 months to fluff out and get to the proper size so hoping they get better in time…… Little bit worried this morning cos my left boob is still twice the size of my right and they said on phone yesterday if it hadn’t started to go today I’ve got to go back in and get it looked at ? xx

@kay oh no really? Twice the size? Oh it’s definitely best to have it looked at chick. Is it painful or not?
I think mines small too ? but think almost everyone does at some point! Hope the drop & fluff & get a bit bigger!!! Xxx

The mya nurse asked me to send photos she doesn’t think its anything bad just swelling, it does seem to have gone down quite a bit over the day & it doesn’t hurt so all good. Can move my arms perfectly today as well so I’m happy, done some house work and loads of washing (with the help of my 6 year old lol). Just feel very tight today like I can’t quite catch my breathe, think it’s due to the strapping, the nurse did say I could cut into it but I’d rather leave it til she does it on Friday xxx
