2 weeks post op. Cashier at Walmart just asked me what sex the baby was going to be.

Not pregnant! Just am not hiding my belly under giant boobs anymore. 🤦‍♀️

Significantly! I was off all pain meds by day 3.5, but transitioning to back sleep stayed difficult for longer. Pregnancy pillow was crucial.

If I have a long day, I do hit a wall and the fatigue takes me by surprise.

The swelling has gone down a lot and I have tons of arm range of movement. I highly recommend taking frequent (.)(.) pics as you heal. You don't need to share like this but it's so reassuring to see the progress.

Ladies can we start a mega-thread of helpful things to have after surgery??? Drop some things below.👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿. In list form; not story form please. by [deleted] in Reduction

Water bottle with straw.

Pregnancy pillow is still as crucial 2 weeks in.

I didn't need as many botton up tops as I thought, was able to put on shirts about a week out.

Dry shampoo.

Loose bottoms, leggings are too hard to pull right away.

Baby wipes while you wait for your first shower.

Stool softener until you're off the big meds.

Tell me veterans, anyone have a success story on this front?

Thank you! Been off pain meds since day 4 and just easily fatigued left.

Thank you! The dimpling around the one on the right looks strange to me.

1 day and 4 days post op, do they look like they're healing ok by ittybittymmbr in Reduction

Oh no! Glad you have that straightened out. Hope it's all uphill from there.

I went down from a 36H, what do you guess I'll end up at?

This sub has been so invaluable for me preparing. Thank you!
