yes, your only 2 days out and showering is a big thing,,, take it easy, rest and each day you'll feel stronger,, until you do try to not be alone..
good luck

i also got my BA on the 19th and I tried to shower today too and couldnt...i felt so gross so i just filled up the tub so it was a little above my waist when i was sitting in it and just washed down with a wash cloth. I figured i would try the shower thing again tomorrow but the bath worked pretty well...cant soke my new boobs though because i still have stiches but it was def nice to soak in hot water...

I had the same feeling in the shower, felt like I was gonna pass out. Luckily I have two "seats" in my shower. If I were you I would try maybe bringing one of those plastic lawn chairs into the shower to sit down & wash yourself while letting the water run on you. Also, having a hand held shower head is the best. You might try turning the temp on the water down too. When the water is really warm it makes your blood pressure spike which could cause you to pass out. If possible have someone at least in the house with you while you try to shower. Good luck & keep us posted.

I know what you girls are going through


the first time i took a shower it was rough


after taking the ban off and stepping into the shower it


felt like a elephant sat in my chest.


The one thing ive learn is to have the water just hit ur back only


and just stand their for a few mins


that way ur muscle can contact to the water temp.


I hope i was able help

I had my BA on the 14th so I am a few days ahead - it *does* of course get better every day.
I got light headed in the shower as well, and was not feeling well at all. Today I decided to keep supporting the girls during the shower to see if that would help, so after wrapping myself in cling wrap to keep the incisions dry I put a bikini top over it for support. Needless to say that I looked quite hot, hehe!
The support kept the pain at bay though (which made me light headed) and a glass of cold water afterwards (a not too long shower) helped as well.
I find it easier to wash my hair with the kitchen hand shower/faucet when needed and then keeping the showers short for now.
Good luck finding what works for you!
Warmly,
