Haven't seen a list quite like this, so I hope it is helpful for someone. All of these are available on Amazon.
While I'm obese and now just after post op, I've used a toilet tissue holder to get back all the way to clean. It looks like a giant kitchen utensil, but it was recommended to me after ankle surgery last year. A similar item on Amazon is called a long reach comfort wipe.
Another helpful item is a reacher. It's like a claw with a trigger. It's helpful for getting dressed post-op and to pick up items from the floor.
One more indispensable item is a portable pole. On Amazon search for a mobility pole. I have the standers security pole and grab bar installed temporarily next to our toilet.
