July Buddies.

Thanks for all the info girls. Called my sister at 4.30 in tears! Couldn't cope any longer... She left work straight away even though I told her not to (luckily she owns her own business and hasn't been feeling too great herself today as she is early in in her pregnancy so gave her even more of an excuse to leave her staff to it) Don't even know why I was crying!! She brought me some senokot which I've had but its not taken effect- fresh orange juice and some oranges. Indigestion seems to have subsided a bit. Hopefully like you've said once I go to the loo ill feel better. I did post about indigestion in the main section too and got some reassuring and helpful msgs back. Xx

Oh Hun, the tears are apparently all normal in recovery! It's the effects of GA as well as everything else. 
Reckon u will feel tons better after a nice big poo!!! 
 
I have eaten really well since BA but had pizza blow out tonight and feels bit indigestiony for me too. 

Glad u got some extra help on here xxxx

Well I have been to the loo!! Ha!! Not the best but better than nothing!! Yes Ive had a few teary moments over the last couple of days. I like a good cry now and again!! Lol! Hubby is off work tomorrow and Thursday so I have someone to look after me!! Think I'm feeling more sorry for myself because I work in a school and school holidays are times to have fun but I can't!! 
Ah well it will hopefully be worth it!! Not even seen what my boobies look like yet!! Got my first check up 6th August. Xx

Yey to the poo!!! Let's hope u have some more soon!!! 

That's great u have company later in week. It is really hard not being able to run around and do things! This forum keeps me entertained though. My poor husband doing everything, we have 2 boys 2 and 4 yrs old! They full on! Been some stressed moments when they climbing walls, knocking stuff over!!!

We very early in recovery so don't be too hard on ourselves. It will all be worth it! Next summer is going to be amazing! Think about all the lingerie we can get for Xmas!!! Xxx

I have literally just sat down !!

Not even had time to think about tomorrow lol. All this preparing for surgery is hard work  

My house is spotless, beds all changed, bags packed, packed lunches done for the kids as my aunty and uncle have them tomorrow. Going to watch geordie shore and then get myself to bed  

Ah princessjo that's the way to do it hun!

That's great u calm, means u all prepared and happy! Now to enjoy ur day! Craving my day back already! Xx

Yey good luck today princessjo, your day has finally arrived!!! Looking forwards to your updates, glad to hear that you feel calm!

I am joining the "I need to poo" club  . Took a senokot last night to try and get things moving but nothing as yet! Maybe I'm being too impatient!

Hubby went to work for "a couple of hours" when we got home yesterday and ended up with a massive problem so was gone until 9:30pm!! So I was sat crying in the dark (couldn't reach the lamp switch) with my recliner up (because I couldn't pull the button thing to recline myself again) having made myself some tea and was feeling very sorry for myself! My neck is really aching from all this "sitting sleeping" as well  . I did manage to sleep from about 12-6:30am though after 2 co-codamol and some of my dad's tramadol  .

I am on my own today until about 5:30 as well so hopefully I will keep myself busy with a bit of Wentworth Miller in my Prison Break marathon that I have planned!

How was your night last night specialkj?
-x-x-

Oh hun the poo thing, is annoying but reckon it will happen soon if u took ur stuff. U will feel loads better once that comes along!

Oh u poor thing being stuck, in the dark as well :-/ so ur recliner sleeping I'm bar the being stuck!?!?

I slept on bed last night with just one pillow and v pillow and morning boob came a bit, so put this down to being flatter like cheeky said. I am being spoilt as getting lay ins every day and I do love my sleep so even though nights bit broken an catching up in morn.

That's great u keeping on top of ur pain relief pmummy, but u on ur own!? Can u reach all food and stuff?

Pr1ncessjo ur day is here Hun, I hope it's better than u imagined.
Xxxx

Well I ended up sleeping in bed with 3 pillows and my v pillow and once I got comfy I was ok. I plan on napping during the day on the recliner if I can get my neck comfortable.

Yeah I can reach my food and drink and meds so I should be ok. I have friends that I can call if I need anything so not too worried so long as I dont get emotional again!

Enjoying my icepacks at the mo!
-x-x-

Have a great day Princessjo, good luck!!!

I went bowling last night and feel fine today as far as boobs go (sore fingers)! Whoop!  I did use a child's ball though  ha ha!!  Also kept swapping between left and right arm as righty is still more swollen than lefty (thinking its because im right handed).

MOrning boob is minimal today, just the usual swelling but no pain  , thought this day would never come!

The poop thing is no joke.  I started taking stool softeners on the day of my op, 3 days later still nothing!  I tried laxatives for the last 2 nights and have finally had a little relief this morning.
Be patient it will happen

Wentworth Miller mmmmmmmm, id never sleep if he was in my living room (i'd never poo either) lol

I had to take the senekot for about 3 days until it finally came plus i tried to stick to paracetamol as the co-dydramol i was given blocked me up as do normal every day co-codomol xx

I will continue with the senokot then and try to get off the co-codamol! Still very tender though so not sure that paracetamol will be enough just yet.

Lol @ not pooing with Wentworth in your living room! Theres no time for poo when you are drooling haha!
-x-x-

I only just told my OH that i poo, after 2 years. Im sure it came as no to surprise to him lol

Was slightly concerned after one of the nurses called me 4 days post op to ask me if i had been... I had half a mind to tell her "i'm a lady and i do not poo!" hahaha

Glad it's not just me talking toilet!! Ha! Got to my sisters salon this morning to have my hair washed and blown and all the way in the car felt like I needed a poo! My hubby was very embarassed when I asked my sister and one of the girls that works with her if there were any other clients in because I needed a poo! Luckily there wasn't but I couldn't go!!! Been out for lunch this afternoon which took my mind off the discomfort but travelling in the car made me feel sick!! Got home and just had a really good poo! Feel so much better!!
Just cannot wait for my check up next week... I thought it was Monday but hubby reminded me this morning that Mondays his birthday and my appointment is Tuesday! Randomly as I type this just received a call from the clinic checking I am ok and confirming my appointment next week. 
 I also received a card from them yesterday morning telling me to keep my feet up which I thought was nice! xx

That's lovely u got a card to say rest up! 

We are now at the end of July, can't believe it, never thought this day would come. Now we all all in our road to recovery and is so great we here for each other going through this together. 

I hope our princessjo is ok and at home safe. Saw her other post about feeling awful. Not nice xxxxx

How are all July buddies doing? Cannot cope with the boredom- just want to be recovered! xx

Hi Charlie, and all the other july buddies. I have been feeling too good and in turn did way too much yesterday and my body told me so!!! I am having a day of doing nothing today. I thought it was too good to be true!  I am feeling emotional now too, I think it's just a come down from the mega excitement and elation of it all!

Don't get me wrong I'm still happy but not floating in cloud 9 like I was! I am sure I'll feel better after a day of complete rest.

Anyway how is everyone?  It's funny as I am getting mixed responses but everyone is def finding mine smaller than they thought! My MIL was prob the most disappointed! She was like I thought they be bigger! But I couldn't have gone any bigger and they seem more than enough for me, just got to wait til I can showcase them in bras!

Got my stitches out on Wednesday so looking forward to this!
Xxxx

Hi Specialkj, sorry to hear that you are suffering after doing too much, enjoy your day of rest! I think that because others dont realise that our new additions arent "finished" yet they are bound to have been expecting them to look bigger. I felt really low yesterday after both my hubby and my friend (who has 420 in hers!) commented that mine look smaller than my previous 330cc boobs. They do, which upset me as I wanted the 410cc implants! But I know that they have many changes to come and I rarely hear of boobs getting smaller in appearance during the recovery period, so we just need to be patient. Easier said than done sometimes though!

We are currently at our caravan for the weekend (making the most of me being off work as I usually work every Sunday!) and last night's sleep wasnt too bad! I havent been taking painkillers during the day as they have been making me feel sick but I still have 3 days of antibiotics which also make me nauseous :(

How is everyone else getting on? I have started a picturetrail but dont feel brave enough to share it yet! Lol
