Mine have not dropped yet. . . . will this take longer with me having partial unders??

Katyx - i know what you mean about aching!! My bum and lower back was soo sore yesterday from sleeping upright but last night i slept right throught til this morning so feel fantastic today.

Stephy - sounds like you are doing well will your little one, im sure you know how far you can push yourself and im suprised how different you feel each day

Hope you feel okay today O? x

Hey girls,

I'm grand thanks H!

Have weaned myself off them devil pills aka Tramadol and I think I'll be getting a visit from the Brown Family later today... WHOOP WHOOP!

Just getting ready to go through to Edinburgh to see nurse - having wounds re-dressed.

Oh I had my first partial shower earlier on and was able to wash my hair... Was feeling great and looking forward to seeing my mate who was popping around.

Now feeling like **naughty word** as she was all "Oh, not much of a difference chick". So that's me uber peed off and defo pursuing my quest to have a re-op for the size that I had expected.

I LOVE the shape that Lahoud has given me, but as I feared his conception of 'huge' to my 'huge' was far different... I showed him a pick of the perfect 'after pic' of boobies and he was like 'these are HUGE' and I was like 'noooooooo see, thats why I worry, these to me are big, not huge and this is what I want'.

Friggin Italians lol... Grrrrr

So will keep ya posted.

Big boobie hugs xoxo

helenascania wrote:Dont worry O, i have suffered the same problem of "bunged up" but i let nature take it course and now in fine lol. I have eased up on the painkillers and that seems to help. I changed my bra last night and OMG!! they have grown!! they werent that big in hospital but they seem to be more rounder now, still quite high though and tight the OH is very pleased!! x

Gotta say I'm pleased I'm not the only one bunged up lol.

Also, my bra is starting to expand more and more... so maybe, just maybe the suckers will be the size I want lol. Then again, I aint that lucky!

O - I'm not sure i'll change much you know....i have been a 34D since my op...still am now so there wasn't much swelling if any. I do wonder if i should have now gone for the biggest offered to me...390's hmmmmmm too late now hey lol. Still i am blessed as they are certainly bigger than my previous 34A's all it means in the future is we'll go bigger!!!!! hee hee xx

Hey girls it seems ages since I've been on this thread. Had a laugh reading all your comments..I can sympathise with some things....being bunged up being one of them.

I have to say though I don't want to put a downer on you girls but I've been feeling awful.
I was fine....although very stiff and sore....until Thursday and then omg did I start to feel sick, I've decided its the painkillers so I'm not taking them anymore. I ended up throwing up last night, which did make me feel a bit better, but I feel like a zombie, I'm fed up, tired, I look a sight. I've even started thinking why have I done this to myself. I've got no one else I can talk to about this apart from my hubby..and bless him he trys his best to cheer me up.

I'm sorry girls for seeming so down, my god I should be jumping for joy, so why am I not.
Have any of you felt a little down since your op?

Alfie - thats one of the other reasons i stopped my pain killers. I was never sick but boy i felt so so sick most of the time. I too got quite emotional thinking what have i done. BUT.....i thought about why i did it, i hated my boobies before with a passion. Once i had stopped the pain killers boy did i start to feel human again :-) You may well have a bug too?? just a possibility?? There is so much going around at the min. Get the painkillers out of your system properly & here's to everything crossed you feel better I actually feel great now :-) not much pain at all, if any. My ps said i can start exercising from 2 weeks (walking only though, def no arms & tum)) but to me that is pants!!! i want to go on my crosstrainer :-( but what i did this morning only for 10 min though was the walk option on that without using my arms. Beats walking in the cold when i can do it indoors can't wait for 6 weeks where i can exercise properly :-) xx

Thanks stephy I'm not having any pain killers today in the hope thats the reason I feel like this. I've still got some antibiotics to take though, so I hope it's not them.

Be careful with the exercise you don't want to overdo it. I go to the gym aswell but unfortionately I couldn't train for 3 weeks before my op because of a really awful cold (I didn't want to be ill for my op) and now I can't train over xmas, I'll be a wreck by the time I can go back. I'm gonna go for long walks that'll hopfully keep some of the xmas spread away. xx

I am sure you will feel better honey from dropping those pain killers, if you feel you need something take paracetamol.

I so hate not exercising :-( pants isn't it! I am being careful, promise. I am doing a gentle walk action (no arms) can't wait to go out running again :-) although thats gonna be weird with boobs i used to go to the gym but got into a better routine at home with my equipment, esp now i have a baby, i do it whilst he has his naps :-) we'll get fat together over xmas & go for the burn new yr x

Oh Alfie, you are NOT the only one... Let's just say that my Nurse and Coordinator me my 'inner Beaker' last night.

I balled my eyes out non stop and actually, I've just started to do it now.

The more and more I get upset it upsets me more as I dont' understand why I'm doing it.

I too stopped the tramadol as was feeling like a zombie and was so existence at all, I'm now taking paracetamol, but only when I need to, which isn't often.

The clinic is now aware that I'm not happy with the size and I have my review with surgeon on 17th Jan.

Oh here, to make matters worse, its that time of the month for me the now and I've just watched Marley and Me again... OMG, I should be suicidle now lmao.

So Alfie, you're not alone pet.

Stephie, that's a good increase from an A cup chick, I guess mines is too, c/b to an e, but they just don't look that big.

Oh and nature surely took it's cause this morning... thank god!

Hugs xoxo

aaww alfie I really sorry uve been having a rough time hun! I think you must be having a bad reaction to the painkillers! stop them and take paractemols see if that helps! and don't worry the emotional thing is all normal, I think some girls have called it the 'boobie blues' we're all here for you, your not alone also you've had an uplift as well haven't you? thats got to a lot more discomfort as well, so your body has a lot to get used to, keep it a couple more days, we are all still early days!

O- I'm pleased nature took its course I don't like the sound of these tramadol I was given the painkillers co-dydramol not sure why I was given different ones but these have not effected me at all maybe you and alfie cud change to them I'm really sorry your still not happy with your size! I can see it is seriously bothering you, do you have any pics I could look at? maybe if you compare my size to yours it will cheer you up as I'm only a C compared to ur E hehe xxxxxxxx

sorry to hear that O and A are not feeling great...

its horrible to feel sick when you are so sore, I think the antibiotics are another cause of that bad stomach, even when I take them with food they make me feel sick and if I get hungry then I can feel sick even with an empty stomach which puts you off eating. But got to keep on with them as I don't want an infection.

rest up, don't be hard on yourselves, we have all been really frikkin brave going through with this and our bodies just need some time to catch up with us...

try to take reassurance that we are getting better gradually by remembering all the little improvements...

for the first time today I can:
scratch the top of my head (this is the best one)
sit up slowly without going ow ow ow as much
flush the toilet on my own (bit more dignity regained here)
open the fridge without having to psyche myself up
draw the curtains very slowly

I still can't:
reach the microwave
open my knicker drawer
straighten up fully ie I look like a pregnant hunchback
brushing my teeth is like ow, ok, ow ow spit.
wrap the pile of presents that are sat there needing wrapping
sleep very much, its more a case of laying there and dosing a bit and then wondering what time it is.

I have realised that I have been under using my feet for years... ie I can open the oven door with my right foot, and switch things on and off with my toes quite well.

we'll get there girlies!!!

take care and go easy

xx

great post katy it's just made me realise how much I can do each day too!! my feet have definitely come in handy opening the fridge door its pretty heavy! however I still can't open my bedroom door when it is fully shut so I was locked in the other morning until my mum came back and let me out xxxxx

O and Alfie im sorry to hear that you are not feeling happy Alfie when i first came home i was soo teary and crying but i think that was the GA affects. O hun im sorry that you are not happy with your size they still have changes maybe in the new year you will think different, but we are all here to support eachother x

Katy - i was exactly like that but i feel really well now, i still cant get jumpers over my head on my own, am going to attempt to wash my hair tonight with the help of my OH. . . .that will be entertaining.

How are you Georgie??

Everyday they seem to get bigger!!! YAY!

Damn i just posted & its bloomin gone!!!!! arrrrggggghhhh

I can do pretty much most things now :-) i washed my hair from day 3 & have done loads since. Not sure if the exercises the physio gave me to do have helped she told me to do the 'funky chicken' with my arms a few times a day go on......how many of you have just tried it????

O - i bet they look great hun. An E is a really good size :-) but i understand if you're not happy you're not happy :-( what will they do?? a re-op? will you have to pay? i do hope you come to like them before your appointment x

hey helenascania haha I bet your well chuffed your boobies seem to be getting bigger I can't wait till mine fluff!!! I'm doing good hun! So far so good just been relaxing and taking it easy could get use to this! lol my boobies still feel stiff tho so still hunched over a bit! I've noticed that my right seems to be behaving more than my left, its got more feeling to it and is pretty comfortable, my left on the otherhand is dead no feeling at all and feels a bit heavier, i think its maybe taking longer to catch up, hopefully they will all be ok, not taking anything for granted cause I know there can be complications just touching wood everything works out ok howz u feeling today? any news on the santa outfit hehehexxxxxx

ooo sorry girls I was having probs sending my msg earlier and now its sent 2 damn! lol

Lol Georgie, I sat here for an hour writing up my latest diary entry and then thought (or screamed) "WHERE IS IT", wasn't til I realised I hadn't hit 'send'

Have you posted any pics yet?? I'm getting round to it, really I am!

oh Oirishetz what we gona do wiv u hun haha I took sum pics first day post op but none since, if u wud like to look give me a PM and u get flashing with your camera soon missy! xxx

the fizzing / bubbling thing, its fairly common and frequently reported by lots of people so am not worrying about it. I think its just the build up of fluids around your implants sorting itself out. it only started yesterday and is pretty much every 10-15 mins today.

my leftie has no fizzing / bubbling and feels really tight around the stiches and pulls underneath a lot more than the right, but again hoping this is normal and will settle in time.

the main things I was told to look out for are gunge (sorry to be grim) from the incision area, significant swelling and hardening particularly if just one side and any hard lumps appearing.

Thankfully so far none of these have appeared.
my boobs are dropping and shrinking a bit and I can feel the sides again though the nips still numb.

hope this helps, basically I think we are likely to feel odd sensations for a while.

xx

pics up... ok I have put my pics on picturetrail.com

I have to warn you the before's are a bit grim and the afters are limited to just two at the mo but it will give you an idea... and you can see the massive grin on my face in the afters!!

you need to go to username is katyxox1 ... pm me for password if you would like a look.

katy- I sound similar to you! my left sounds the same as yours! it feels tighter and heavier than the right it's odd! and my left is completely numb compared to my right where I can feel a bit of my nipple and side boob, I suppose it's still early days! I'll keep a look out for any worrying changes!xxxxx
