Wear to and from the hospital?



Recommended Posts

I plan on wearing a lose fitting maxi dress. Not worried about going to it's afterwards that will matter!

I just did sweat pants, t-shirt and a light jacket so I could skip the bra on the way home.

I wore my biggest scrub set. But my advice, wear something comfortable and forego the bra. You wont feel like putting anything on afterwards. I guarantee you that.

Something lose and comfortable. Swelling is common so wear your grandma panties, a tank instead of bra even slippers opposed to shoes. I wore sweats (oversized) easy on and easy off appropriate for going in and out of the hospital with.

Amen to slip on shoes! I also had my sister bring m a sports bra the day I had surgery. I'm pretty large chested and one of my breasts was pressing on an incision. The nurse said so long as the bra band didn't press on the incision it was fine to wear and was a life saver. I've worn a sports bra or soft cup bra every day since surgery (I'm 10 days post op) - can do underwire yet.

They are lucky I wore PANTIES!! LoL! When youve come out of surgery, ask the nurse for the HOSPITAL PANTIES they are very comfortable (ask for a few, so you can take some home)

Haha. I went without in the hospital. There was one nurse who was very concerned and followed me around holding my Johnny closed when I walked. Having my sister have to basically put my underwear on me when I was discharged was an experience i could have lived without.

I think I wore sweats or shorts with a tshirt. Nothing special. Comfort is a must and I think they recommend a drawstring so you can keep your clothes loose.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
