I decided to document my experience as most of the blogs or blogs I’ve seen are of younger women. I searched for someone closer to my age as surgery approached, but never found one, so I’m taking the blog leap of faith.
So, I will go through my day by day experience with a breast reduction, but I thought I would first give some hints on how to make your recovery the best experience possible. To do this, you’ll need just a few items...(I’ll explain the how’s and why’s in my next post...just get this stuff!)
Very supportive relative or friend (one who can see you naked!)
The brobe
Ice packs
Comfort pillow
Flexible straws
Yeti short tumbler with handle
Lid for Yeti tumbler
Ulta blowout
The grabber
Button down shirts
Kids shower gel
Waterproof bandages
Charmin wipes
Alcohol wipes
Medicine app for your phone
Body pillow
Breakfast tray
House slippers
Alcohol pads
Bleach alternative
Stain solution
Stain brush
Mesh washing bags
Face wash
Dry shampoo
Miralax
Wedge pillow
Easy to prepare and eat meals that taste good!
Wow, the more I thought, the more I realized I used! You’ll understand why for every item on the list when I go through the process and progress I’ve made. I regret not having it done years ago.
I had my second post-op today. My surgeon loves the progress I’ve made. Nipple stitches come out Friday. I’m a little apprehensive about that, cause, hey, nipples....but I’ll let you know how it goes.
Btw...I’m not being paid for linking you to any of the above items...they’re just what worked for me!
