Delayed clothing euphoria. It took a while until I could wear the tank tops I was excited to wear. In fact any shirt that wasn’t a button up wasn’t an option for a while and I had bulky post op binder on for a month. A delayed clothing euphoria for sure.
Post op nausea! I don’t get queasy easily so I was all ready for a big meal after surgery but needed up feeling so ill. Oatmeal or something simple would have been a good way to go for me.
Feeling icky and sticky… that’s the best way I can describe it. A combo of not being able to bathe and just general healing made it hard to feel super clean.
Sleeping was tough… I sleep on my stomach, so sleeping on the back for a while meant sleepless nights. I was eventually able to construct a pillow setup that allowed for some comfort.
Recovering from top surgery? Here are some things I wish I would have known beforehand! 🏳️⚧️
