Less than one week to go!

Hi girls,

Getting very excited now! My other half has gone away with work so next time he sees me Ill be all bandaged up! EEEEEP!!!!! lol

With my op on Sunday, does anyone have any tips etc for things to do, eat, drink, not do, things they wish they had done etc! any tips! things I should maybe buy in 'just in case' etc?

I've got my three M&S Sports bras, my front zip hoodie jacket and joggers, my music on iphone, my V-Pillow, hotels booked for parents for two nights and my one night. Ive been de-cluttering all kinds like im nesting or something getting ready to put my feet up next week! lol. done all the gardens today so theyre looking gorgeous (all i need now is decent weather to sit outside with a book but maybe we cant have everything!)

Just wanted to know im all prepped and if there was anything you wish you had all done or known xx thanks everyone you all really put my mind at ease and help me to look forward to my new boobs!

Jen I love that you are so excited I think you have pretty much thought of everything! The week will soon pass and then you will be able to look down at your lovely new boobies I still look at mine all the time and as I have had boobies (2 x b a's) for nearly 3 yrs thats wierd I dont think I will ever get over having lovely boobs. Bet you will be the same xx

I keep looking at my ugly ones now and still feel so sad and guilty that im 'getting rid' of them ha ill be forever changed!! My bf kept looking at them with a sad look he says he loves them as they are (i know he really loves me! ha!) I get butterflies when I think of getting to the hospital. I cant wait for the anaesthetic I looooove fighting to stay awake! its the best feeling.

Im just so excited!!! I dont even feel nervous at the minute, its a bit like christmas as I dont know what theyll look like when theyre done but I know theyll be massively improved! lol xx

Its better than Christmas Jen . And I am sure you and your BF will soon " get over " your old boobs once the new ones arrive xx

Ahhh bless you :flowers:

You sound pretty sorted to be honest! I'd make sure you've got some senokot or suppositories as you can get a bit bunged up after your GA (sorry... Just being honest) I would have been in a bit of trouble if I hadn't had these.

I remember looking at my boobs before hand and feeling a bit guilty, like I was saying goodbye to a part of me... Just wait u til you check your new ones out in the mirror!! Best. Feeling. Ever. xx

youre making me even more excited!!! ha. I just cant wait!! Yeah thats on my list I was gonna get some fig syrup n take a bit each day just in case! lol. Got my arnica too and my alarm set on phone to start taking them on friday. Just got to pack my bag.

Will I just need a pair of pjs and slippers and my clothes to travel home in? phone and charger. did you all take ur pillow to the hospital or were you all too out of it to need it the first night? lol xx

You probably wont need your PJs for the hospital hun. I just stayed in my gown, I didn't have the energy to change lol. Take your slippers though and a dressing gown incase you need them for walking to theatre, you don't want to be bare foot with ya backside hanging out do ya

I didn't take my pillow into the hospital, I always think about the bugs I may carry home lol and you definately don't need it in hospital as the bed raises anyway, so I just left my pillow in the car so I had that much needed comfort for the car journey home.

Definately take your phone and charger though. You'll sleep a lot, but you'll be awake a lot too and it's nice just to have that contact with someone who cares should you need it. xxxx

thanks cookie!

I know what you mean about germs! and definitely dont want my backside hanging out! Ill leave it in my dads car. its a 3 hour trip home do you think itll be a nightmare? Im taking plenty of bags in case I feel a bit sick! xx

Sick bags are a very good idea. It 'may' be a little uncomfortable sweetheart, I won't lie, but then again, you may sleep all way, but it's always best to be prepared isn't it. Maybe pack a nice warm blanket too so you can snuggle up on the back seat and just settle down making yourself as comfortable as you can and just get whoever is driving to be extra cautious of any bumps on the road, a nice steady drive home is what's needed lovely, but once home, you'll be just fine xx

I bought two of these hun they are meant to be great for boobs and backs after your BA xx
