Feeling human again!

So I'm one week post op and finally feel like myself again! The first 5 days were quite hideous for me - I think I was so busy worrying about the general aneasthetic I didn't think too much into how I would feel immediately post op! I was so tired, constipated and generally felt like a zombie lol my boobs felt like they were strapped to my chest and I felt miserable. However day 6 (yesterday) really was a turning point and I feel so much better today.

Boobs are still a bit high and swollen (incisions sore) but thanks to this forum I know that's all normal. Been getting to sleep quite well thanks to my trusty v pillow so that's good!

I'm just so grateful for this forum because its a constant reassurance and it puts my mind at ease knowing you ladies have been through the same things!

My first post op appointment is Thursday which I'm a bit anxious about because my incisions and bottom/side of boobs is tender and sore. Hopefully ill be able to get a shower though lol washing my hair over the bath is driving me insane!!!!!

I'm glad your feeling better hun x that first few days is really tough! X

great news you're feeling better hun. good luck for Thursday xx

Glad you're feeling better hun. Only going forward from now on :)

Great news sian. The soreness under boobs and incisions is normal. I had that and asked my surgeon when I saw him last week, he's said its fine. Since seeing him its eased off and my boobs just feel normal now, I forget their there halfhalf the time!! good luck for Thursday x
