Is "boobie blues" a real thing?
Was wondering about "boobie blues" because I think I am experiencing that. I think it really hit me hard last night. So I have been losing my patience with the burning pain and hyper-sensitivity on my left side. I thought I felt okay yesterday during the day but then when I went to pick my daughter up from school the pain just started to really get on my nerves and i felt very agitated, So anyway I picked her up from school got her something to eat and then drove her to her tutor which took forever even though its not so far away, but Long island traffic is absolutely killer sometimes. So we finally got there and I brought her in and said goodbye and I proceeded to drive back home to prepare dinner. Upon arriving at home i was completely and totally exhausted and i felt totally useless and like such a weakling that the mere act of driving could take so much out of me and cause so much pain. I proceeded to look in the mirror at my boobs and just started HYSTERICALLY CRYING. I did not even feel it coming but as i looked at them in the mirror I was hit by a wave of grief, because the one that is bothering me looks so much bigger than the other other one, and even though my doctor checked it out and said it was normal to heal at different speeds I was just feeling like what have In done? I was just crying and crying and crying and then i laid down in my bed and i never prepared dinner. When i finally got up and stopped crying, the pain had temporarily subsided, which seemed weird to me but maybe the crying allowed me to let go of some of the tension that was causing the pain. Anyway, the rest of the night went ok, i made dinner eventually, helped my daughter with homework, did some laundry and such. I had a hard time finding something comfortable to sleep in because the fabric rubbing against my left boob is causing so much sensitivity and irritation. I'm just starting to feel like its always gonna feel like this, I know i have to stay positive and be patient but when it hurts to wear clothes its hard to function...

Keep your head up girl, I'm so sorry to hear your feeling like this (Im trying not to get discouraged myself). A friend of mine had a BA about 6 months ago said she went through a rough patch of pain and boob envy a week or 2 after her surgery. One of her incisions ended up getting bubbled too. She still experiences high sensitivity in one of her nipples but she's overall happy with her decision. Tomorrow is a new day, I hope your boobie blues go away!

Thanks hunny, I hope you're feeling better too. Why are you feeling discouraged? you're only day 3 right? It really does get a little bit better each day.

I keep getting this sensation in my right breast like it's going to fall out through the incision it's so uncomfortable :/

I hear you girl, there are definitely a lot of strange and uncomfortable sensations during the healing process, but hang in there it will pass. I'm still annoyed because my right one feels better, it feel like its already made a full recovery but my left one still has burning pain that starts on my sternum and radiates across the top of left boob and it is constant... I'm going back to ps on monday, maybe he can tell me what the deal is but i'm sure he will just tell me to be patient... lol.

I think your breasts look wonderful, and your review was helpful to me. I think we all expect that we will have the easiest recoveries, and it's good to know that there's a real range of recovery experiences. Hang in there--you look amazing.

Thank you! I really was feeling extremely blue there for awhile. I had anticipated a very easy recovery but that was not the case for me, everybody's different I guess. I was not prepared for it, but feeling better now. not 100%, but better-ish:-) Anyway, good luck to you with your surgical endeavors!

You look great. Did you have to do breast mammogram before the surgery?

January 8, 2016
Thank you. Yes I had to go for a mammogram, and then because apparently I have "dense breasts" I had to go back for another 3D mammogram and an ultrasound. It was annoying but I guess it's just part of the process.
