Non-slip bedroom slippers for those walks after surgery! Chapstick, a heating pad, maybe some unflavored Protein Powder.< /p>

Walmart has some cute maxi dresses. Not pricey at all. I bought one size smaller than normal and I'm getting more use out of them.

Don't forget to check out local thrift stores that's where I got my pjs for surgery, paid only a few bucks so I don't mind donating them now that they're too big

Hi! I hope you don't mind my question about the whole pajama thing.

I have pajama bottoms, but really not wanting to stain them or destroy them from any Post-op draining, etc

since you were saying that you went to the thrift store I thought that was such a clever idea.

Does everyone recommend doing PJ bottoms and a raggedy Tshirt??

or do you recommend the MuMu style pajamas?
