boobie blues have hit

hi all been healing well and been feeling great but all if a sudden ive been in tears. im fed up not being able to do as much, or things i think i can do i go to do and cant and to top it off all of ur pictrails look fab none of you have looked as swollen as high up and far apart as mine do. and they just seem so small. just snapped at my husband saying i wish id never got them done cause they dont even look right. and i feel terrible cause he paid fir them for me

sorry for moaning

Give the time babe, you will love them I promise! Just let them settle xx

dnt get me wrong i dont hate them just not what i expected at all. got my post op appointment tomorrow so will speak to my nurse etc xd

hey honey, i had the same feeling last night, i was so gutted that i felt so sad about it all but you will come out the other side of it and love them again, try not to continuously look at them because at this stage we don't know what they will look like, as well as that we have swelling everywhere else, my whole upper body looks different! But it will pass and after day 5 the worst really is over you will start to notice that you will be able to do more and more everyday! hope you feel better soon! xx

Yeah from what I've read, I've read a lot haha, this is totally normal! Speak to your nurse and I'm sure shell give you some reassurance x

yeah my back is a totally diff shape im normally 32 and im having to wear a 36 band. im just finding it hard to even imagine them looking like boobd xx

Just look at people's picture trails and the change in everyone's after days even weeks and months, that'll cheer you up chick xx

Awww hinny, it's normal to feel how you're feeling, just please remeber what you see now is NOT what you're going to end up with.

You've got weeks and months of them changing and looking like normal beautiful boobs Hun. Don't compare yourself to other people Hun, you e got what's right for you and how you are at your stage of healing.

Just think you'll be at the point soon enough. Try not o focus on looking at them and critiquing them as I say how they are now is not what they're going to look like in months to come.

thank. i def think im going to stop looking at mine and others just til i feel a bit better about mine xx

Hey hunni, Don't worry about it, 360 ccs is DEFINITELY not small - I got 375 and mine are not small!!

what the problem is, is that for days 2-4, you had a TON of swelling, so day 4-5 and on, the swelling starts to go down, and you feel they're smaller. They are NOT small though, I assure you, and you'll be very pleased in a few months when they're soft and squishy and bouncy!

Sweetheart, mine were look two big balls stuck on my chest when I first had mine done and ridiculously far apart... But 6 months later they were a completely different pair of boobs!

Just bare in mind Tink that what you're looking at right now is definitely not the result you are going to have.

As your boobs drop and soften up they do come closer together and take on a more natural appearance.

The majority of us get the post-op boobs lovely and we feel so down everything is magnified ten fold, but I promise you gorgeous it does get better xx

i know i keep saying that i end up with is better than what i had, even although the swelling has gone down im still in the d cup sports bra so obv they are a good size i think that its the space im worried about, before my BA you could see the indent at my breast bone between my chest and now its all swollen and thats not there so it just all diff i suppose isnt it xx

Sorry to hear you're having a down afternoon Tink.
Hope tomorrow gets better for you
Xx

thanks are you not shattered after the GA lol xx

Awww its about more than "they're better than what I had"

They're not at all what you're going to have right now.

Your boobs are going to look totally different to now in a few months time. This is the result you'll have. Your boobs are going to go through so many changes over the next coming months Tink and movement is so important for bringing your cleavage together.... Right now they're very stable on your chest and although you may think all your swelling has gone, at just 5 days post-op I should imagine you still have a way to go sweetness...

The changes will result in a look very different to what you have now, so if you're saying now "well, at least they're better than what I had before" then when they've relaxed and settled you're going to be overjoyed babe. Xx

Hugs Tinkabell, don't worry mine are the same swollen, high and far appart I'm all purple, blue, yellow and green from all the bruising. I'm so fed up of not sleeping I my own bed and not being able to shower.

I've not taken any photos because right now they don't look like boobs, they look okay in the sports bra and cloths over but they don't feel right yet.

As everyone has said it all changes and I'm just keeping that in mind so I don't stress, I'm just glad some of the pain has gone today I felt so much better pain wise.

Big hugs

Tinkerbell that's just about the size mine looked in my sports bra x I think back to a few months ago, they looked strange and took some getting used to. It's normal to feel how you feel at the moment.

Ah Tink, you poor thing! Great advice from the post op ladies! Hope things settle for you soon babe

thanks all think its just a mixture of hardly any sleep a huge change to my body the kids have been at it all day and i cant have a bath lol im sure i will love my boobs in a few month xx

You can have a shallow bath Tink.

Just half fill it so you don't get your boobs wet but can wash the rest of you down. Just flannel wash your top half. Xx

Big hug Tinkerbell. Echo what everyone else has said. You will feel better soon and your boobs will change x

oh yeah ive had shallow baths def but the only time i get me time lol is a bath and i normally lie in there for at least half an hour, selfish haha

vixy how are you feeling in yourself xx

oh sweetheart.....

It is SO normal to feel this way!! You are so early on post-op, and your boobs have so many changes to go through. Try and remind yourself of the goals you had, and know that they are all still ahead of u! You WILL drop and then they will look much more natural. The swelling WILL go away, no-one has swelling that stays forever! My swelling lasted about 8 weeks, which was the longest I think they had ever seen! But it was because I had three ops in the end, and now they look amazing and both the same size and everything!

it is all hormonal, just try and get past these first couple weeks, and u will feel so so much better. take lots of pics so u can monitor the difference, and go out and spoil yourself a little! You have no idea how many shoes I bought those first few weeks!

Hoping u cheer up soon, and start to see the great things about your decision. And dont worry about the hubby-men understand that women can be crazy!

yeah my husband has been amazing honest hes taken over everything and hasnt even moaned once, hes done the school run then nursery run out to work and then got the kids on the way home done dinner house work and bed then helps me to bed etc but now he knows how it feels lol

im sure that i will love the end result but its great having everyone on her dont think i could go it alone xx

Hi Tink

Today I'm feeling okay within myself today, the pain has really reduced which has helped soo much and I'm not feeling so silly for having chosen to do this to myself.

I also got out today, which was nice.
