Clothes for after surgery
RNY on 07/03/12
I'm 9 weeks out and am still wearing my pre-op clothes. Ok, so not all of them, I've been wearing loose dresses to work that used to be snug because my work pants fall to my ankles. But, for the weeks I was home after surgery my 3x loose pj pants were all I wanted. Those and some basketball shorts. Bras hurt my pouch so I wore sports bras and baggy t-shirts. Trust me, you won't care what you're wearing. It was a marathon to shower, you'll be lucky to even get dressed lol.
I'm with everyone else. Drawstring shorts that were baggy to begin with, and oversized t-shirts. I actually purchased some 2x and 3x tops and bottoms just because I knew I'd want comfy stuff. but things with drawstrings are the way to go!!
I've not worn a bra but a couple of times since surgery (only a week out) and that's when i was in public or when I was on the treadmill I wore a very loved sports bra that had virtually NO restraint at all.
I'm starting to stress about returning to work next week. I am planning to wear yoga pants because they are stretchy and black. Fortunately, I don't see clients and everyone at work is super supportive, so if I have to wear something a little less than professional, I think it'll be fine. I doubt, however, that my green sleepy shorts with white polka dots will be considered appropriate. But who knows, they may think i'm quite stylish!
