zoe! I find myself on my side all the time in the morning! I checked with my surgeon today and he said its OK as long as its not painful and I should just listen to my body. I had ear surgery as well so not great for my ears but they don't look like they've been damaged by it.

I feel I have pulled a muscle in my left.... tried to drive got around the corner and have to dump car there for hubby later. I was not expecting that

Hi At least i am ok on my side ...looked down this morning and saw cleavage for the first time

Oh no! You wally! lol how have you done that surely not from side sleeping?
If you've got unders they don't recommend you drive before 2 weeks... hope it doesn't last long

Not having a great day today tbh. Mum gone home now 200 miles away hubby at work loads of overtime and he is not very sympathetic in fact he didnt want me to get them done in the first place.
No breas are comfy at the mo so right now ive ditched them all, but dont know whether that is a good idea.

Thought I would be ok to drive with overs- obviously not.I suppose we all have our off days. Just keep thinking of them great boobies, great boobies

aw hun, i know the feeling
Sorry I don't know why I assumed you had unders, you should be OK to drive now with overs. Just rest and take it easy for now, like you say think of the great boobies you'll have this time next month!!

oooh are you getting excited janey?
ive had my tapes taken off today and just some steri strips put on,
the scars have closed, there was loads of bruising, i have rainbow boobies lol,
the holes are still slightly open under my arms where the drains were,
zoe i hope your feeling a bit better now, im worried about driving again, no way i could now i still cant even left a kettle
i was wondering how you lay on your side to sleep? where do you put your arms, boobies and pillows,

HI Bumblelady

Glad to hear your appointment went well , you sound like you are healing nicely.I cant wait to get dressing off now really itchy.Do you get a pulling sensation when you lift you arms like youve pulled a muscle because thats what ive got but only in my lefty, but then lefty is really bruised and righty has none.
As for sleeping on the side I feel like its moved them abit closer as they are abit apart.It just sort of happened, must of got fed up with my mountain of pillows.

Good Luck for tues Janey it will fly by. This time last week I was feeling the same.Cant believe somedays that it has happened it all went so quick.Word of warning they become the only topic of conversation..if they havent already

zoe i cant even lift my arms up lol
i can get them half way only, very frustrating still, have no strengh in them at all either just able to lift a cuppa,

the plasters did pull my skin alot and they were stingly for ages after,

I drove for a good distance on Weds, just a week po. and am bact to doing cooking etc. Hoovering and any cleaning are beyond my limits though!!

I have no pain when driving.Just real tightness and soreness in the scar and boob area all the rest of the time. I've purposey dropped nearly all the pain releif in the day so I don't feel able to do more than I'm ready for!! And it's worked as I am doing a lot less.

I am dosed up at night though, my lovely friend is a GP at my local Dr Prac and she prescribed some more Tramadol and Diclofenac today bless her!!

Bumblelady, glad to hear you are dressing free too xx

Aw bumblelady its so good to hear your feeling better sounds like you have come thru the worst now :)

Thanks for the good luck messages girls i am really excited but then getting the occasional wave of terror and "what am i doing" feeling cant wait to be like you guys and it nearly all be over.

Youre all so positive its brilliant :) well done, hope i cope as well!!

J x x

the nerves will all be worth it in the end,
you will wake up and look down and think waaaheyyyyy
i had to go though it all twice, my first one got cancelled at the last min before i went down because of infection, then had to wait another month to go though it all again,

OMG that must've been terrible cant imagine getting all psyched up then that happening - nightmare x x

zoecat on the Bras - I have been in a z-bra which was very comfy. But yesterday I got the Royce post surgery bras in a 34E and 32F (wanted the 34F but nowhere has it in stock!!) the 34E fits ok though as the fabric is soooo soft. The Asda bra was agony, that mesh ventilation bit feels like it's made from wire against my scars, I have put all of mine in a clothes recycling bin!!

My most comfortable bra is the Royce Bra. What bras have everyone else trialled? Which is your fave?

i brought the asda bra which i also thought were complete naff, they have little support, m&s one is good and 2 from lasenza are great,

i got stuck last night in bed, i tried to sleep in a few different possitions but becuase i have no strengh in my arms still i couldent get back up, had to keep waking hubby to help move me,

im taking kids out to a inflatable day today if weather stays nice, shame i cant join in with them yet,

Mine has to be the Total support bras from marks and spencers in soft cotton great support in a 36 DD, i started on the last link and i'm now on the tightest link. think i need a 34 DD but can't find any at marks in the same bra.

Awwww Bumblelady sounds like your having a really tough time hope it starts to get easier soon.

I'm still feeling sore under my right boob and i can't wait to get the dressings off they are beginning to annoy me.

I'm totally obsessed with looking at them I keep taking my bra off to look at them at least 3times a day to make sure they ain't looking weird or anything.
Can't wait to wear a proper bra though these support bras ain't very flattering feel like an old granny in them lol
and i can't wait to go do some clothes shopping.

Hope your all feeling better today and good luck to the girls who have yet to get there boobies. xx

Your right kayla the Royce bra is the most comfortable of all my bras, but I have to return it for a smaller size so I'm in a Nike bra at the moment with isn't great for my scars so I'm going to go M&S today to try on some sports bras, I hear the zip one for £18 is really good. I'll have to manage that before my new Royce bra comes through

Was out last night to help me take my mind off the wait. A good friend of my husband though to have been so kind, said to me " I would not have done what you having" " would not let my wife to do that either" "you don't need it anyway, you look just fine as you are" and "all that money you are spending" it felt like a knife in the ribs. Would not bother me before, but I seem to be so sensitive at the mo.

OMG I soooo know the feeling someone said to me yesterday that I look great (which was nice) and that in his opinion i do not need a boob job aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh it just puts doubt in your mind, if in doubt check out a few 'enhanced' celebrities in gorgeous lingerie shots online you'll soon realise youre doing the right thing when you see how sexy they look with bigger boobs :)

Just started on my arnica today

i no how you feel ellie, loads of people told me i was silly and i didint need it and fine how i was,
and i have some security issues and need to see a doctor instead of being so drastic and having surgury,
they really wound me up, you no will who ur true friends are after this, i have lost some that i thought were good friends, there loss not mine,

its a very brave thing your doing go for it,

M&S have changed the extra high impact bra with the sip front and cross back. They do hve a similar one though but it now costs £20!! Doean't seem to be made out of the same fabric though the new type is more lycra-y and less soft if that makes sense.

My boobs are sore today, must be nerves rejoining as the numbness is still there but has an over-riding feeling like someone has cleaned them with a scourer, making the skin v.sore!! And like you said Bumblelady, the bit in the middle hurts like mad!! Although if I remember to take my pain relief regularly the pain is minimal.

Janeybird and Ellie, I had a friend who when I told her ( I was drunk and hadn't even booked my ba!) I was considering ba she said ''you already have a great figure, what do you want to go and ruin yourself for just to get boobs like mine'' (she is a very confident size 18 with 40dd boobs which are huge!!) And then she followed quickly with '' you will be in and out of hosp and have to have repeat surgeries, you must be mad''. It took all of my might not to say, no I don't want boobs like YOURS!!
I haven't said anything else to her though, suprisingly enough!!


But just remember - you are doing this for you, not all the small minded people who feel they have the right to have and express an opinion. Just put your fingers in your ears and go ''la, la, la, la,la!!''
And then have a look over on the bravissimo website or Victorias Secret etc.

I wouldn't be saying all of the above if I thought you would for one second end up regretting having a ba. You will be delighted. And they will be jealous xx

I realised this also, went there today to get mine and it feels different and its gone up by £2 too! This one is the comfiest of my bras though, although I still don't have the Royce in my size to say yet.

I have been in a bit more discomfort today and it's the first day earing the Royce bra which did feel lovely but my Z bra had just come off the line and I thought I'd give it a try. My discomfort has TOTALLY GONE!!

I will be returning the Royce Bras I think for one more 34E z bra!! (Am tempted to order the 36E just to get the benefit of a bigger cup though!!) It really has made that much of a diff - I was about to dose myself up again but don't need to now and am having a glass of wine to celebrate (and for medicinal purposes!!0

My fave is now the good old Z-bra!!

my boobs are very achy today, i have done loads of walking around and chasing after the 4 kids, to much to soon, but i feel guity not being able to go on the tramploine or swingball with them to took them out to a funday,
the bit in the middle has never got any better and it is soo tight and raised i hope it goes down soon,
my back hurts quite a bit now from the upright sleeping,
gonna have a sit down now phew,
