Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Hi Cherie! I'm glad you're doing so well! You could be feeling a bit down from the anesthesia and surgery. I'll bet your breasts looked kind of funny right after your implantation too, just give them time and I'm sure you'll be pleased. As far as detoxing, a good way to start is to simply eat really good right and now and treat your body with kindness. It's a great body and you have done it a huge favor by removing those toxic bags.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Cherie, Right now it's enough to eat wholesome food, drink a lot of pure water, and rest . . . Just having anesthesia is enough to make you feel down for a little while. I was very depressed after dental surgery for almost a week! If there's something you really enjoy, that's easy on the body, that you haven't had time for . . . like reading, watching a movie, working crossword puzzles, computer games . . . now's the time! By this time next week, you should start feeling more like yourself! . . . Very, very gentle hugs and prayers, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Hi Cherie - I posted last night but for some reason my post didn't go through. Anyway, I was depressed after I had the implants put in, and I'm anticipating that I'll also feel depressed after the explant. I think it marks the end of a pretty traumatic time and hopefully the beginning of better times, but endings tend to bring about all kinds of thoughts and reflection. I was depressed after the implants because I was like " what have I done? " , and what might bother me after the explant isn't regretting having them out, but I'll probably still be dealing with " why did I get them in the first place? " For now, drink alot of water, get as much rest as you can, and work on healing the incisions themselves. Then once you've gotten past this stage, you can get more information and maybe come up with a plan that works for you regarding detoxing.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Hi Cherie, I don't think I have talked with you, but I want to offer my 'congratulations' on your explant! Right after surgery, I was panicked that my breasts would look terrible. They don't at all - they are asymetrical, but they were asymetrical before I had implants. IN fact, they are less so now than before implants. I opted not to 'even' them because I had weight to lose... It takes time for the body to 'fluff' (silly word, isn't it)...but that is what seems to happen wtih time after explant. Be gentle on yourself now, and think how much healthier you will be! > > Hi girls > I had one of my drains removed today, but the other needed to stay in. > Not taking any pain killers today and hanging in there.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Lesley, Thanks for taking the time to share how well you're doing . . . Testimony like yours means so much to those women waiting for their explant and wondering what's on the other side! It's wonderful to hear you are doing so well! Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
