ONE FULL WEEK SINCE MY breast augmentation
I did not want to start a new thread since its just me..I thought I would ad to this and that some would see it..I hope...

Anyway, I posted yesterday about how I felt okay...that evening I felt like crap! WOW, it hurt. At around 7p.m. I felt this pain on my cleavage area all the way up...I have tons of brusing under my arm near my ribs, and sometimes I feel pain where the cathader..where the pain pump was inserted on the left side. Anyway, I get those waves of hardening as one person told about in a thread last month. I am out of mussle relaxers and I intend on asking for more. I think yesterday I just did to much. I was so excited to finally feel a little better that I sat and played trains with my baby, I read books and walked around the house a lot. I should just take it easy. God, for those that go back to work so soon I really don't know how you all do it. Anyway, I found my old massage machine thing

Sorry, my computer is going nuts! Or maybe I am...what I meant to say to you all is that that massage machine worked wonders! I was scared that it would shake me up to much and hurt my boobs but, it did not at all. My husband did it for me and I felt so much better. I took two pills last night and was able to sleep. I have also been using one of those aromathearapy heating pads..the ones they sell at the mall in one of those carts in the middle somewhere...well, it smells like chamomile and you heat it in the microwave and works wonders on sour neck! This morning: I woke up at 3 a.m. again in pain but made myself go back to sleep. I then awoke at 6 a.m. and my husband helps me get up from my group of stacked pillows. I let out a scream from the pain of the two grapefruit I have hidden under my bra! OMG, it was painful and stiff. I took a pain pill this morning and was better very soon. I was wondering how long that pain lasts? I just wish my muscle would relax the hell up! Well, will post later on! I hope everyone else is having better luck on your week one anniversary with your girls!!

Hey, congrats on your breast augmentation and I hope you have a speedy recovery. Everything that you are describing is so normal, and it will pass, but its all with time and patience. I am with you though, those that say its not that bad...what the heck is their pain threshold, mine isn't the best. LOL I took can relate to not getting the emotional side from DH and the house. I was having conniptions when I would go through my house, but there wasn't anything I could do, and when I did decided to do something and couldn't take it anymore the end result wasn't fun so....take it easy!!

I had a pretty fast experience with wanting to make an appt and getting one asap. I had my breast augmentation on the 14th of March. Day after my 32 Birthday. Preop was pretty fast. They talked about what to expect and we talked about size for a long time. I was worried that I would end up HUGE! I had nightmares and was so scared. I have to be honest I was scared of the pain. Anyway, my husband took care of the details. I arrived at my appt. at 11:00 and waited a little. I read a book but could not concentrate. They took me back and weighed me and I urinated in a cup. I was handed the robe and stocking, white ones that were like tights. They were to cover my entire leg for circulation purposes. They were tight but warm when they were on. I kept my panties on and let me tell you was glad. I told the nurse I was on my menstral cycle as well. So, I felt kinda emotional. I talked to them about my medical history and they put the IV in at the same time. Pretty fast. My doctor came in and for some reason wanted to discuss size again. Not sure why but I get the picture that he was wanting for me to go bigger. I asked him how exact he can get in size and he said he was pretty sure he could get what I wanted. I told him no bigger than a 32C. So, he drew on my body and I got real nervous as they laid the warm blankets on my legs. I looked down to say goodbye to my flat old boobs. And noticed the pen marks on my nipples. "Oh, my GOD!" I thought. I was upset because I wanted my insicion to be under the arm! So, I asked him to come in and told him what I wanted. He claimed it was too late now and that he had prepared for it to be in the aeriolas. I was so upset and angry to know that I almost would of waken up w/out even realizing I had stitches on my nipples! So, I cried. I tried to hold it in and I could not. I was so nervous and upset and it just made me cry. The older nurse looked at me and asked if I was okay. I told her I was just a little scared. Anyway, they had the big pictures set up for references in the OR and the anestiecialolgist did not even warn me. He put the cocktail in my IV and I recall saying something about feeling like a truck hit me? and It was over....
I awakened four hours later and was dazed and asked the nurse about nurseing school. I have no idea why. I could hear myself talking and sounded so loopy and drunk it was funny. She probably sees this everyday so it was not big deal. I felt that the other nurse was rushing me and could feel her pulling my pants up quickly and talking fast. I was set on a hospital recliner and did not feel a thing. I don't even remember getting into the car. I recall grasping my boobs and smiling. Then I feel to sleep.

Day two: sucked! OUCH! I had the beast pain pumps which are cathedars that put medicine directly into your breast tissue. It did it automatically and I was glad. I took my pain meds and did not have an appetitite but, felt very sore. I slept most this day. My husband watched the kids.

Day three: WORST day! Back, Neck, RIB cage is so sore. I feel like crap. The night before I vomitted every hour it seemed. Nothing was in my stomach so it made it worse. I finally got to sleep at around 4 a.m. It was horrible because I could feel these alien bumps on my chest and an ache in my stomach and could not sit comfotably. I slept for hours that morning and my husband brought me breakfast. I ate only a little. I felt horrible. This was by far the worse day!

Day three: I woke sore as before and took my meds. They seem to give me a stomach ache so I try to eat something when I take them. My breast did are HUGE and swollen and square as in the pics most of us have seen. I did not get to shower till today when I had my post op appt. I went to my appt and the nurse took the pain pump things out. OUCH! I almost cried...My breast were let out and it felt horrible. I have HUGE brusing and I am very sore. She told me to take my meds and offered to fill another prescription which I should of taken but did not. I want to tough it out. Anyway, I took my first shower with the help of my husband who keeps trying to crack jokes. I told him he is so mean because he knows it hurts to laugh. I am still scared that my breast may be bigger than what I wanted. I felt real emotional today and cried a little. Thinking my goodness why did I do this? I was upset but I also know that it is normal. I can't wait to feel normal again and have this pain go away. I want to make it clear to all the new people that have not gotten the breast augmentation done...it does hurt and everyone is different. But, we all heal differently and for me it did hurt and hurts right now. I feel like I have big grapefruite on my chest. I am bloated and took the softners and so far no luck. Other than that I am counting down for the day I can see my boobs looking beautiful! best of luck to all. Sorry, not very interesting I am on my meds right now! Thanks to the forum for good information! I can't find a spell check on this right now so very sorry!!

Congrats on your Boobies!!
Rest and Relax!
Hugs Marion

wow thanks for shareing, great info for those who havent had there breast augmentation yet loads of helpfull details

[latina]

It seems like everything was a little bit of a rush at your drs office. ....
Other than that i am so sorry you aren't feeling good but those who have been through it say it should get better. I haven't done it yet so in a few months you probably will be the one telling me it is going to get better....=)
Hang in there, and have a good recovery!

[Kate]

Hang in there! Everyone says it gets better with each day, so trust that it is true. Plus, you're totally swollen right now so I bet you'll be just the size you wanted when the swelling goes down. Take care of yourself and let time take care of the rest!
