Clothing right after surgery.

What should I wear after surgery. I do not own anything that is comfortable that I would wear in public. What should I buy for walking down the halls and after surgery that will be comfortable on my tummy?

Thin type yoga pants the lighter the material the less of a head ache on your incisions

Yoga pants and I bought undies that were a size too big because of swelling and such. I could not wear a robe in the hospital due to the IV so I used 2 hospital gowns but they did unhook the IV for a little while and let me put a sports bra on.

The last thing you want to do is spend money on something you will wear just a couple times because it will be TOO BIG! Some people just wear a hospital gown, and another one reversed, so they don't bring in anything. And that is fine. If you want something else, opt for some comfy pajama pants or light sweatpants. You will need the hospital gown on top because you will have an IV. Get some slippers with some grip on the bottom. You will need to walk as much as possible and you don't want to slip. Hospitals offer slipper-socks, but they are one-size-fits-all and not very comfortable.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
