Still can't wear jeans.

8 days post op and I can't wear anything but pj's, sweat pants and yoga pants. How long did it take you to be comfortable in jeans?

I was wearing jeans 4 days post op and thats mostly cause i left the house. The jeans i have didnt come near my incisions.

HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

It was a couple of weeks for me. The problem was sitting- -jeans didn't come close to my lowest incision while standing, but they irritated it when sitting.

I was able to wear jeans from the first week, but my incisions are above my waistline (one in my belly button), so they aren't touched by the jeans.

Two weeks.

My incisions were very close to the waist line. I couldn't wear jeans for a good 4 weeks. After the incisions healed, I was able to wear them again. By that point, they were too big ;-). Fortunately, I had some smaller ones from my "old closet."

I am living in LulaRoe leggings and yoga pants.

What size are you? I got some TC leggings and one pair is tight as all, and the others ripped on the butt. Like. Big rips. I'm an 18 so I don't get it - everywhere online says they go to a 22 and some people say 24 can fit. They're so soft!!

I also had an umbilical hernia repaired at the same time my sleeve was done.

I waited 3 weeks before wearing belted pants.

Loose fitting gym clothes where my norm from the hospital until that 3 week mark.

I'm not able to get fluids in like I want to. Protein is not going in either and I'm always sick. The heartburn is the worst. I was sleeved 9/28/2016 and I never did it.

Um, you should probably talk to your surgeon about all that.
