Recommended Posts

Question: should I count on going boobie commando for the ride home and for however long after, or will I be able to wear my bra home from the hospital and forever and ever after???

I wore my sweats to and from the hospital and a thirt. I went bra commando for the first full week. My top incision was right where my bra sat so I didnt want to bother it. Even the week I went back to work, I was slightly irritated in that spot when wearing my bra.

I didn't have a problem wearing a bra, I just had to ask my husband to hook it for me!

Just banded on the 7th. Over the head motion no problem. I wore an oversized fleece shirt and elastic waist jeans. I didn't do the bra and underwear though. The bra would irriated the surgery area and panties would make it hard to pull up the pant. As soon as I was home changed into my pjs.

Today wearing all regular clothes and did 1/2 mile walk and about to do another.

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing well!

I wore a "track suit" with a t-shirt and flip flops. I did wear panties, dont remember how they got back on though :sad:...and a hook in front sports bra from wallyworld. It was cheap and comfy. I havent tried jeans yet, kinda scared to. I am still pretty puffy from the gas!!! I hope it goes away soon!

Good luck with your surgery!

I wore Yoga pants and a large oversized sweatshirt, granted it was February in North Dakota:) I had a hard time putting my hands above my head at first though, so I would opt for a comfy button shirt if you have!

I wore a pair of stretchy yoga pants and a comfy top. Oh and flip flops! I couldnt imagine trying to put on regular shoes after the surgery.. flip flops made it so easy

Thanks for all the great ideas (and good lucks!). I'm gonna have to go thru my closet to see what I've got. The slip on shoes are no problem but no button down shirts...(*shiver, i hate them). And, I am not going to ask my dad to help me dress (*double shiver). lol

      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.
