I had surgery 2 days ago and ive been up and around, sitting on the computer, walkin in the grocery store etc, as of today.. do u think that is ok? this is my 2nd BA but i had a re-do for bottoming out.. u dont think doing these normal things could make me bottom out again by doing them too early do u? i am not lifting or excersizing...
when did u do these things?? the day i had surgery, and the next day i mostly stayed laying down. I have also been getting myself out of bed, doing my own hair etc.. it didnt feel real straining but after posts ive read im scared this could cause probs???? help!!
thanks!

When i had my surgery i was up moving around and going for walks on day two. I had very little pain.

i was up and around, light typing, calls, walking around my apartment and making things to eat... but i'd avoid carrying groceries. remember you don't want to be lifting anything too heavy. I'm the first to over-do it, practically had to staple myself to the bed in order not to hit the gym. but remember - taking 2-3 weeks off now may mean you don't have to take 2-3 months off later due to complications.
as little as I did I developed a seroma (fluid accumulation) and had to go in 5 days later for a re-do on the right side. they left a drain in (taken out today) which was pretty horrible. Now 9 days Post Surgery (1st surgery) I'm finally feeling great and have no drains but vowing to take it easy. Take my word for it: you CAN'T under do it!

Im post-op day 1 and I am very, very sore. My PS said it was a very tight squeeze to get my implants in so I can expect to be sore for a while. Can't do too much without making my boobies ache. And when they ache they feel like they are getting tighter. So you are very lucky you are out and about already. Just remember to take it easy, nothing too crazy. I know how you feel, I need to be up and going all the time too. It's hard being glued to the bed. But it's true, if we give our bodies the time it needs to heal then there will be less of a chance of problems down the road.
