Stay Loose

A big tip that we share is to wear loose fitting clothing post op.

Now is not the time to try to get into your skinny jeans. Wear clothes that are not binding across your belly for your best comfort. This is just temporary! You will get back into your favorite jeans, but give your body time to heal.

During your recovery, your belly is likely to be tender and swollen. We love this “Wear Around Shirt” made with 100% cotton and comes in several colors. They are customer favorites!

Stay comfy during your surgery recovery.

Can’t avoid stairs?

For some stairs cannot be avoided during recovery. No need to worry! Go up the stairs backwards!

When going up backwards, you take the pressure off your abdominal muscles. Do try to avoid using the stairs multiple times a day. Make sure to go slowly and use a hand rail if possible.

Don’t let stairs make you nervous, just turn around before heading up.

Be Encouraging

Whether surgery was your choice or not, sometimes days can be hard. Bluebird Sisters offers a variety of encouraging options for you or your loved one.

TShirts with encouraging messages like ‘Choose Happy’.

Multiple styles of bracelets with ‘be brave’ charms, or even inspirational bangles.

Maybe even send a Thank You note to someone who has been a great help during this time.

Share some love, add a smile, make someone’s day! Be Encouraging!
