[dd82]

[Lady_Amalthea]

Morning ladies, feel asleep at 3.30ish and I am now awake !! 5.30 the dihydracodine seems to have no affect they said they should knock me out lol does anyone have a suggestion of good drowsy pain meds ??

Pain side is slightly higher than yesterday feels more heavy like someone is sitting on your chest and they are awkward me the armpit also you have to sit up with out leaning on your elbows so the ol and are getting a workout

Already recorded today's food diary and shall do light Walking round the house as advised to avoid DVT

If anyone things this diary is annoying or not appropriate for this forum let me know and I will stop, I hope it can answer any questions people in a similar situation to me with the effects mentally and physically from weight loss, not enough people admit that this diet lark is no easy game and I wish I had been more prepared for the damaged body I would have

On the plus side when the nurse asked what bra initially wear and i. Said a 36 back she said you can't be you are a tiny thing !!!! Never been called a tiny anything in my adult life lol

still here following but just catching up! Yay congrats on your op! I had mine done in feb best thing I've ever had! I could talk about it till the cows come home!!!! Hope your feeling ok! Get on the painkillers and enjoy it all x

 

[dd82]

Ooo glad to hear that how are you know are they all settled did they change much mine look perfect now and I don't want them to change lol

 

[little-e]

Mine change every day still 6 months on! They softened lots but still love them. Did you have over or under the muscle because that makes a difference on how they 'fluff' out xx

 

[Lady_Amalthea]

ooo, I very much doubt you are a 36 back! Do you use the old + 4/5 method? Because that is outdated. It was fine for back-in-the-day bras that didn't have an underband that was so stretchy as the majority of bras on the high street are now. There's a very good bra-sizing guide on Busty Resources (http://bustyresources.wikia.com/wiki/How-to_determine_bra_size) hope it lets me link it! Basically, whatever you measure underbust is your true back size. I am currently 34" underbust so that is my back size. And I am 44" overbust = 10" difference = GG or H depending on whether the brand includes a FF in its range. The link will explain it better than I can!! But once your boobs have settled and what not you should def measure them yourself using the link as a guide

 

[dd82]

Ooo thanks lady x I am going on d method I measure 32/33 under and 40 over at the moment !! Will check that link

I had overs do heard they don't fluff as much but don't really know what it means lol , they are really high at the mo but look great scared of them
Changing or going odd lol

 

[dd82]

That can't be right can it that site would make me a 32 ff is that even a size !! Better hope they do shrink a bit ?

If anyone thinjs the diary is inappropriate then they havent read your diary properly. Its your journey and totally appropriate to you.

Glad the op went ok. I remembet when i had meningitus and the only thing to stop the pain was 2 paracetamol 1 ibuprofen it helped a lot with the headpain. Hope you dont suffer too much today.

Sarah xx

 

[dd82]

Thanks Sarah I really appreciate that !! I will try the pill combo see if it helps, the pain isn't terrible if that makes sense just heavy and hard position to sleep in need something drowsy I wondered wether I could take might nurse

 

[Lady_Amalthea]

Must be awful not being able to get comfy...doubt this heat is helping you either . Hope you find something to take that can help settle you!

& yuuuup, sooo many girlies are in the wrong bra sizes out there. I'd wait til you've healed some/swelling has reduced and go try on some quality bras like Bravissimo or Curvy Kate in your new size according to the link and you'll be pleasantly surprised!!

The surgery weight will be gone in no time, just focus on keeping on track and let your body heal a little . I'd be on a boobie high too - they look fab! haha x
