Feeling swollen and sore all over post-op

Hi Ladies,
is anyone else struggling with what the rest of their body feels like post-op? I was expecting my boobs to be sore and swollen, but my entire torso is a bit worse for wear, and also, those pain meds are making me really constipated.
I’m 2 days post-op now, and slowly thinking about allowing my friends etc. to visit me, but super worried that I’ll just remain this weird elefant with swollen breasts and a huge belly and sausage arms for days now…
Did anyone have similar experiences?
thank you in advance for sharing xx

I’ve been exactly the same don’t worry!! I feel like ive been inflated haha im 6dpo now and stilll not back to normal but gone down alot compared to before! Look like im 3 months pregnant now instead of 6 months ha
Keep drinking lots of water and be patient i think its just allll the meds painkillers anastethic etc! Xxx

@sheherazade I had unders 14 days ago and my whole left shoulder and back is killing me. It has done since surgery which is annoying as my breasts are kind of pain free aside from swelling when I wake up. I can’t wait to be pain free!! X

I had my boobs done 3 weeks ago and it wasn’t them that was even hurting , my back was killing my coxits were I felt like I had been hit by a buss the cocodamol was making me constipated it was the worst thing ever , my back was the worst , my ribs were even sore felt like they were broke !!! Xx

I had my op a week ago and still feeling really sore.
Had the strapping off today and I’m so happy but my left side is still so swollen.
Will try to upload some photos x
