What Did You Guys Wear?

To everyone who went back to work a few days later and stuff, what pants did you wear?? Everything hurts my incisions!

I am one week post op and it was a challenge to find clothes just to take my daughter out for a haircut. Thank Goodness I kept some maternity pants. :)

    I lived in yoga pants and tees the first three weeks. I went back to work with low rise jeans and had no problems. Good luck finding something that is comfortable for you.

    I lived in dresses or wore my pants low because they were just big enough:)

You'll have lots of big pants really soon. Be patient about another week. My biggest problem now is finding pants that fit halfway decent and stay that way for a few weeks. I buy them too tight and wear them until they won't stay on. I need to invent some suspenders that are "flesh" colored (that's a joke right there) and go UNDER my shirts......

What about a comfy dress? Not sure what your job is and how strict they are on wardrobe. I live in sun dresses in the Summer- a nice cardi over it can dress on up a bit perhaps?

I did dresses too.

I wore skirts with elastic waists, paired with a shirt I wore on the outside as to disguise any swelling going on. I especially like wearing that "slinky" fabric skirts & tops. Also, I wore my waist binder for the first month....under my pants, skirts & loose tops!

Yeah, it's weird that my waist/belly button area is 2 inches smaller around, but I can barely button my pants :-)

Can't go wrong with elastic waistbands or ones that tie (easy to adjust)! :rolleyes:
