Ok, so this may be a silly topic and I could honestly still wear my pj bottoms to work(the office is at my moms house). I just don't want to be one of "those people" in public with my pjs on lol. I haven't even tried my clothes on since I've been home.

What did you wear in those early days after surgery?

Sweat pants and track pants. It was depressing having to put back on the corporate garb after my disability ended.

I feel your pain!! I wore loose cotton nightgowns and robes for almost two weeks. I am short and the waistband of all my pants sat right on top of one of my incisions. When I finally started wearing my pants again they were a lot looser. In hindsight I should have purchased a few pairs of loose sweatpants or yoga pants.

I have high waist pants too and the incision at my bellybutton is the worst one. My jeans will be right there. It has been so nice wearing pjs everyday. I've had such a great day that im attempting to go to work tomorrow.

I wore yoga pants under my belly and my boyfriends hoodies and tshirts out in public. I wore dresses and tights when I had to go somewhere fancy

I wore flowy, loose skirts to work the first week I was back with cotton, soft leggings underneath. I didn't like my stomach being totally free, and the soft leggings over my incisions made me feel better. The skirt made me look like a professional, lol, and no one could see the leggings underneath.

How about wearing a bra? I'm going 6 days out and I can't put one one. I wear an underwire one. One of my incision is right in the middle where the bra would lay. ( any bra)

I wore an old pair of yoga pants, that turned into paint pants along the way haha.. I wore a lose shirt and even a Bra. Overall not a big deal..I had my husband stop at Walmart on the way home for me to buy some new yoga pants and a couple shirts.. (2 sizes smaller!! Yahoo) but the trip had me sooo tired that I took an hour nap when I got home lol

I'm a smidge over a month out and that incision is still a little sore from my bra rubbing on it. My WL provider suggested keeping it covered with gauze pads, but I've been lazy with that.

      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.
