Pre booby blues

I dont know what's wrong with me. I keep bursting into tears and im being very clingy. Is this right? I'm a right gibbering mess!

I think, I don't know if its the same for you, but I got really tearful before my first BA. I don't know whether I was sort of grieving about the thought of actually doing this and my old boobs would be gone, or just that I hit that moment when I wondered if I was actually doing the right thing or not. I remember looking at the flaps of skin I had and thinking 'they aren't that bad'! When I look back at pre BA boobs, they really were that bad!

Hope you feel better soon sweetheart. xx

Hi ya I'm a very strong together person who can handle anything thrown at me I'm not a teary person at all. Yet as the surgery date gets closer every time I think about it my heart starts pounding and a little panic sets in at the thought of what I am doing and if its right thinking and overanalysing the outcome pain recovery how they'll look etc its a huge thing to take a risk doing and I don't think we'd be human if it didn't affect us in someway big hugs to you x x

I think cookie summed it up much better than me lol x x

Thankyou girls. I needed to hear that. I thought it might be normal. Like you cookie I keep looking at my boobs and thinking I like them now and that I'll miss them lol. I'll be ok. I'm all set to go but because I now have 3 weeks doing nothing but thinking about it I'm stressing myself to much x

i was the same lol, you will be fine, its just so sureal i think ss

Hi Scatty, what a shame. I am 5 days post op and i wrote a very similar post to this one just before my BA! I totally understand how ur feeling, i was almost in tears at work and avoiding being around people becuase i felt like they were just making me nervous and it was making me question the whole thing. Even up until the morning of my BA i was literally questioning everything - i knew i wanted it done but i think the fear of the unknown is the worst. I can honestly tell you having gone through everything so recently myself that i have absolutly no regrets. The second i woke up from the GA i was surprised at how little pain i felt, and in actual fact i have hardly been in any discomfort whatsoever. I was literally wetting myself lol at the thought of the pain but it is no where near what i had anticipated. I have actually had a lovely few days snoozing, watching films and just relaxing!! I am very happy with my new boobs and so pleased that i had the courage to go through with everything. Im sure you will be feeling great after but please dont worry i think its really normal to have these feelings before as it is a big decision to make! When r u due for ur surgery?xxxx

Sorry i just realised i only wrote Hi Scatty and I meant hi to Clover too!!

I went a bit strange a few weeks before my BA, like it was happening to someone else and not me. I posted on here like you have . I know now it was my way of coping with the stress of it . It seemed my excitement had disappeared for a while... But it came back ! We all have our own coping mechanisms. You have wanted it for years, but at the end of the day it is an op and a change to the body we have known forever x

Hi clover, yes I think we've all posted a simular post pre BA. I know I was so churned up inside. Kept asking my hubby if he thought I'd be ok. I questioned myself thinking I'm spending all this money on me when we have 3 children. Was i being selfish? What if it goes wrong, my boobs won't ever look the same. It's perfectly normal. It's been worth every penny and my boys will have a much more confident mummy that loves going swimming. Lol Hubby loving them already. So glad I've done it and not looked back. Can't believe it's no where as bad as I ever imagined too.
Good luck hun. Xx

Thankyou all. I don't feel much better but at least I know why I'm feeling this way and I'm so glad I'm not abnormal to be feeling like this. Im also dieting so I'm just extremely irritable I guess x
