Re: Wear after op?

I agree with everyone else! Just really comfy joggers or leggings.. a onesie is good babe because you don't need to pull it over your head. I wore a pyjama top that fastened with buttons at the front. My mum helped me get that on and off :):)
Eeek, I bet you're getting excited now for your 'occasion' haha ;) xxxxxxx

Yeh, don't forget the Buddha belly will make jeans your worst enemy for a few days post too! Also, the GA can to all sorts to your body temp, so most of the time I was just in my bra anyways. Yoga pants/joggers/leggings all the way.

Large swollen pregnant belly!!
My knickers got to tight day 2 I had to wear fiancé boxers!!

It's water retention I think x

by Boney1992 26th February 2014, 9:41 am

You're joking? Really, why? when does it go down? Xx

by LuciaH 26th February 2014, 9:58 am

Boney, type in Buddha belly in the search box at the top and it will bring up loads of threads about it. It's mainly down to being a bit backed up after having GA and then codeine. Codeine is renowned for making you not be able to go to the toilet! Advice that I have read it to drink lots of water after the op, and to get a supply of mild laxatives in just incase you need a little help. It should go down within a week or two. xx

by Boney1992 26th February 2014, 9:59 am

I cant take codeine as it makes me violently sick, will they give me an alternative? I really don't like the idea of having a big tummy after the op? Xx

by LuciaH 26th February 2014, 10:02 am

Make sure you tell them that you can't have codeine and they should be able to give you something else babe. I don't like the idea of having a big tummy after the op either, but I can stick it for a few weeks if it means I get me some big boobies. xx

by Boney1992 26th February 2014, 10:03 am

I will do, babe. Thank you!! And yes, me too!! Xxx

by mrsm 26th February 2014, 12:58 pm

Don't forget a vest top, my hospital room was really warm so I was glad I packed one. x

by Boney1992 26th February 2014, 1:00 pm

Thanks babe, I will do! Xx

by LuciaH 26th February 2014, 1:11 pm

I am loving the avi Mrsm! Looking fab. xx

by Boney1992 26th February 2014, 1:12 pm

Yes, they look amaze don't they. So excited to get them done seems like a life time away!! Xx

by LuciaH 26th February 2014, 1:34 pm

Yours will not be long babe, it will go quick. xx

by Boney1992 26th February 2014, 1:42 pm

Fingers crossed babe!! Xx

by Boney1992 26th February 2014, 3:52 pm

Just bought a Franklin & Marshall tracksuit for the day!! I was going to get a onsie but like Sahara said, onsies can be start to get quite annoying when you need the toilet - let alone when you've just had an op!! Thanks for all your help & advice. Xx

by LuciaH 26th February 2014, 4:04 pm

Very nice babe. I have just bought some yoga pants and another vest top from next for mine. Xx

by LuciaH 26th February 2014, 4:06 pm

And have booked my waxing for tomorrow too so there is no fading around after my BA. Xx

by Boney1992 26th February 2014, 4:11 pm

That is such a good idea, babe. Ah, so you're very nearly all there, then. Just the V pillow to come now? I've got a pink one and a pink Kush haha! Xx

by LuciaH 26th February 2014, 4:27 pm

I thought I can't be bothered worrying about hair after my op so get it off now so I am ready.

I keep thinking about getting a kush, do you think they are worth getting? X

by Boney1992 26th February 2014, 4:41 pm

Ummmm...... I don't know babe. Some women like them and some don't I've read on here. Can only get one and give it a try - I do know some women alternatively use socks!! Xx

by Lacey24 26th February 2014, 4:49 pm

Bit blonde what's a kush :doh:

by **Charlii** 26th February 2014, 5:18 pm

Hey Boney, sorry for delay! Buddah belly is a glorious side affect of the GA. It bloats you. Plus the constipation. Also you'll find yourself hunching for the first week or so trying to protect yourself, which exacerbates it. Theres no quick solution, though peppermint tea is meant to help (though it makes me vom, yuck). Plenty of fluids, white proteins (chicken, turkey etc), and it'll pass eventually. And yes, a few girls need some laxatives by day 3!

Lacey, see here [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Its meant to prevent cleavage wrinkles! Although a lot of the girls find it helps support post op when sleeping because of the new weight. I used a pair of socks personally, probably up til about 5mth before I could comfortably sleep without it.
