June Buddies

Haha good idea to practice bum shuffle I have become well acquainted with it lol,

Any one taking arnica tablets I have so but ain't taken them wondering if its worth it or not x

When are u normally allowed to shower ladies I know I'm only day 3 post op but can't help feeling smelly even with flannel wash twice a day x

It's also a bit of an abs workout isn't it?!! :-)

Glad dinner went well, one outing a day sounds good, gets you out for a bit of exercise but still saving energy for the all important boobs recovery! Xx

Surgeons have differing opinions on Arnica Sophia, some say take it, some say not! Have you asked your clinic? Xx

.

No I haven't asked them , completely forgot to doesn't say in after care book if can or can't x

arnica is homeopathic so if you have some bruising that you think it might help with, there shouldnt be any reason not to take it hun.

i didnt take arnica although my clinic and surgeon recommended it (because it contains lactose and i'm dairy intolerant) but i don't bruise very easily anyway so didnt feel it would be necessary. as it was i had minimal bruising anyway which had disappeared by day 4 so no probs.

showering very much depends on your surgeon and the type of dressings used sophia.
we have had all sorts here on the forum, i was allowed to shower straightaway, and some girls aren't allowed to shower for 1 - 2 weeks! best to check with your clinic hun!

eddy yes dinner was fine, i saw your question on recovery on the other thread, my turning point started on day 4 and by day 6 i felt so so much better. now on day 8 i'm absolutely able to go out for dinner, i just make sure to not overdo things x

.

All I know is I'm shallow baths only and that's it , I will take my arnica then as I do have bruising under the dressings and on the nipples I can see so can't do any harm , hopefully he will give me permission when see him at the post op thanks blueeyed soul x

hi girls just finding my way round this site! Finally I have found june buddies yay! :) hope.every one is well and healing nicely, my ba was yesterday had 450 unders was totally flat chested before an have beem in quite a bit of pain, any advice or tips on healing and anything to ease pain and sleeping would be really appreciated Thanks girls xx

hi zoe, welcome to the june buddies! :)

wow 450cc from a 34AA, that'll take you to a great size!! congrats again!

just make sure you keep on top of your pain meds, and if you have icepacks they're a godsend too on top of your boobs (nowhere near the incisions though!) 

have you got a V pillow to help you sleep more comfortably? on our backs and raised is not the greatest sleeping position, but it has to be done :)

which surgeon /clinic did you have?

rest up well, hope you feel better soon x

hi blueeyedsoul13   I was scared they would be too big but they actually look quite small at the mo but not sure if thats coz of the binder strap??
Ahh thanks for advice on ice packs I will be seding other half out to get some tomoz! 
And yes got a v pillow thank god its really helping!
I went with mr TC teo at micindoe surgical centre. 
How long did u leave it before having a shower? And can u tak strap and bra off but just not get it wet? I was so drowsy when they where telling me I cant remember! Thnks hun xx

Hi Girls!!  Hope you and the  are all good today!!  I have left a post on the general section about my last few days, won't bore you here too!!

Hope Louann is getting on fine, and  zoe xxx

hi midgebites! Thank you, I see you had your ba 3 days before me! :) Will pop over to the general board and have a look how you are getting on xx

morning girls. midge, I did read your other post but as I'm on here I'll update here:) the first week is generally  the worst hun. its great you're getting up and about as that's the best way  to drain the fluid and swelling from your boobs:) coming off your painkillers might help with yoursickness and maybe only take paracetamol  and ibuprofen if it gets really bad? I hope you enjoy your girly afternoon:)
welcome zoe:)  I didn't have straps but as long as your dressings don't get wet that should avoid infection. and ice packs are a god send!
eddy, we're almost in July now:)
Sophia and Blue hope you guys are okay xx

Yeh Zoe I noticed that, how are you finding it all?  I see you went for 450 - you'll be bobbilicious!!! xxx

Thanks Vix, I keep reminding myself that its still early days.  Feel so much better though just sticking to paracetamol.  How are you doing? xxx

really good thanks babe.I haven'thad pain for nearly a week. dressings off tomorrow, can't bloody wait! they're almost peeling themselves off!! lol
it really does get better , hang on in there chick. xx
