What to wear home from surgery?



Recommended Posts

I would say yoga pants or elastic waist or drawstring pajama bottoms. I suggest a front clasp no wire bra. I wear a 38H, so it's not optional for me. Loose tshirts are good, too. Most of my post-op patients wear these kinds of things home and it's what I wire home after my last surgery.

I wore home a big moo moo house dress...no bra either.

I wore a MooMoo also, I was going to wear shorts and a t-shirt, but I was swollen and bloated and tender, so my mom went and got me a moomoo, and you know what, I was rocking that dress. (or I was drugged enough to believe that I was lol)

LOL...so funny! Yes, a moomoo is the way to go! I was so swollen too and could not stand the thought of something touching those incision sites!

I wore some stretchy pants and a cami to the hospital. Ended up calling my boyfriend to bring me a dress to wear home. I lived in dresses for the first two weeks since the pressure on my incisions was more than I wanted to deal with at the time.

During my pre-op class right before surgery they told us to bring a loose-fitting dress in to come home in. I shrugged that off thinking I didn't want to leave in a mumu. Did I ever!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
