Also got my v pillow today. So now is there anything I have forgotten ??? :doh:

Haven't had vit E, or alcohol or garlic or curries etc for last 2 weeks but still smoking 3 cigarettes a day. Really struggling with that but know I must get down to none. Ahhhhh I need help with that one. sad smile

Hey [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] i bet your so excited :-) Mines on 26th May! Woo may buddies!

I got an electric toothbrush as i know simple things like brushing your teeth may hurt if your swollen and have achey arms. Ps. Have you got your sports bras?? xx

by Littleannie 27th April 2015, 12:55 pm

Ooooh never thought of electric toothbrush that brill idea thank you for that one. Yes got 1 sports bra ready ....know I will need more later but got macom for first bit ......it's exciting but scary too xxx

by Vickyxo 27th April 2015, 1:17 pm

Haha no worries.. I only thought of it cause my mum mentioned to me after speaking to her friend who had her boobs done. Ah im so confused what bra size to get.. with the band do you get your normal size (Im a 34) or should i go a size up incase of swelling and 'buddha belly' ha xx

by anneritchley 27th April 2015, 1:22 pm

I packed the kitchen sink and never used any of it. My essentials were, v pillow front button pjs. Tracksuit to go home in. Macom sweets magazine ipad moisturizing cream xxx

by Littleannie 27th April 2015, 1:25 pm

I was told to get normal size in sports bra so I got my 34 but with the surgical ones it's just your band size which mine is actually only a 29 !!!!!!

by anneritchley 27th April 2015, 1:28 pm

Yes macoms come in small medium and large. I'm a 32 and had medium. You will have swelling. My surgeon gave me one too. Maybe a small for you xxx

by Littleannie 27th April 2015, 1:28 pm

Ah thank you anneritchley I forgot me going home clothes......would look sorry sight walking out in me bra and knickers......oh and tha was something else I got was my 100% cotton knickers so I don't have to wear the paper ones yes

by anneritchley 27th April 2015, 1:36 pm

May may ask you to wear paper ones instead. But they are quet comfy actually. My husband never liked them though hehe xx

by **Charlii** 27th April 2015, 1:50 pm

Some places are paper pants regardless, I know mine was. The one thing I wish I'd had was an electric toothbrush. never mind the aching arms, you don't realise how much you jiggle when you brush!

by Littleannie 27th April 2015, 1:59 pm

Been told if I bring 100% cotton ones they would be fine....but hey ho doesn't matter either way what I have to wear. And yes I am sure getting myself an electric toothbrush. Xxx

by anneritchley 27th April 2015, 2:16 pm

Yes you do jiggle while brushing your teeth. I was awake most of the night in hospital so out of boredom I ate sweets. So I couldn't have done without that. But as soon as I was home it was healthy eating. Slippers too as I found myself walking up and down the corridors with my drains in each hand. Ooo I looked attractive with my ted stockings on too. Xx

by Twinky 27th April 2015, 2:18 pm

Im off to buy a toothbrush too, good idea Vicky!
Im only a day case so wont really need as much as you guys, but defo could do with some tracky bottoms for the return home.
Thanks anne

by Vickyxo 27th April 2015, 2:30 pm

Haha no worries.. Im sure im not the only one who has bought electric toothbrush but still Thought id share :-) Im enjoying using it already and i havent even had my BA yet ha xx

by anneritchley 27th April 2015, 3:21 pm

And a top your not going to struggle with preferred a zip up top . Oh and a pillow for car journy home as the seatbelt is really uncomfortable xx

by Littleannie 27th April 2015, 4:15 pm

God didn't even consider journey home and the seatbelt....thAnk you all ...my check list getting longer now x

eek [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] it's nearly time now!!
I'm really disorganised, I've just got my sports bras that's it so far!
I'm only a day case too so I'm not taking pj's or anything. I'll take my dressing gown for over the gown as I'm always cold anyway, my slippers and comfy clothes for coming home (I'll go in them too though). I've got my pre-op on Thursday so will ask what the surgeons stance in on arnica as it seems they are all different and will get some if he gives the go ahead.
Oh and I need to get some dry shampoo for those first days when I won't be washing my hair.
Well done for cutting down on your smoking hun, I know it must be really hard. I had a curry and 2 bottles of prosecco on Saturday but haven't been told otherwise - and I'm at a wedding on Saturday but will try and take it easy (she says!)
I'm going to order my macom now xx

by _wildflower_ 27th April 2015, 5:29 pm

thanks girls dry shampoo and electric toothbrush added to my list!

by Littleannie 27th April 2015, 7:05 pm

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I was told start arnica week before and then for 3 days after op. So I will be starting mine on Thursday. Dry shampoo that another good idea. Lucky you only having day in hospital ......I hate hospitals and am not looking forward to the night there however will probably or hopefully be out for the count so won't know a lot about it x

by **mirren001** 27th April 2015, 11:22 pm

I found johnsons baby wipes handy for freshening up , leggings vest top( stepped into it) & zip up hoody comfy for car ride home.

Im buying pjs today but worrying about size, whether i should go up a tad due to swollen boobies! Also a macom bra.. Struggling to decide what band size to get? Im a 34 now but worrying it will feel tight on my ribs if im swollen xx

by Twinky 28th April 2015, 10:57 am

If I was you I would buy a 36 band if ur currently a 34, that's what Im going to do, but im geting a 2 pack from marks I think. My surgeon wasn't too fussed about wearing a bra post op, but think I will need the support . Saw the m&s ones other wk and there super soft so GONA invest.
Iv also got a 2 pack of super fluffy socks for hospital as my feet r always cold, and I'm also going to get some sick bags for a ride home. I'm a day case so don't want to be feeling woozy on the ride home as it's over an hour.
