Tenna pants 100% get larger than usual size so theyre not tight on ur scar. Loose fitting high waisted leggings/undies. Fragrance free shower gel xxx

Any massive high waisted underwear and pads. Loose fitting clothes. Peppermint tea (helped with bloating) lactulose, keep on top of medications. I found a water bottle with a straw so helpful and really long phone charger cable. Honestly the first few days feel horrendous and you never think you will heal but it’s like magic how quickly you recover! 💕💗

Big knickers, big pads, good drugs, water bottle nearby and keep mobile. The more you move, the faster you heal xx

To add, for the hospital wear a nightie as you will have a catheter in x

Would also recommend a mix of normal granny panties and high waist ones. I could not wear anything over my stomach until my bandage was off (day 5) and then nothing not high waist after that 😅 may have just been me though! X

Also Muslins for your self. I really found it helpful to have one tucked under my tummy (across the dressing) and then out my waistband either side, when I was first becoming mobile again, I felt it gave me core strength that without I maybe didn’t have. Also came in handy when I was eventually able to bath as I did same to keep my incision site dry!
