Wearing trousers

Not sure what happened there.... I meant to say past my bottom!!!!! I can wear elasticted leggings under dresses etc,..

I started wearing my jeans again on the 3Rd week, but a bigger size as my tummy still swelled. Still undoing my zip wearing them now, nearly 6 weeks post op.. think it takes time to stop swelling.X

I'm at 10 weeks and my tummy still swells if I do too much or lift anything heavy, I was told it can take up to a year before things are really back to normal again

Thanks everyone.......guess I best put my hot pants away then!!!!!!

oh dear and there was me thinking i would be back in me size 10's within a couple of weeks, i was thinking that my op keep being cancelled was a good thing as would now get to recover in the spring but now thinking it may be worse as i live and die in jeans most of the time and in the summer its shorts and i don't have the money to go out and buy new clothes and don't have any bigger clothes so perhaps hibernating in the winter would have been the better option, also i have to wear black trousers for work and they are a uniform which i cannot have any newer bigger sizes of as limited to two pairs per person per year and only recently had some new ones, oh dear oh dear i will have to starve myself after op.

Oh dear...don't starve yourself..... We are all a big fan of eating all the things you know you shouldn't I the first few weeks.!!!....m only 3 weeks and lots of people have said it generally gets better...I'm a size 12 and I have been wearing  shift dresses and leggings during the day and they have been fine.....don't start to think about work yet....get your head in a good place for your op...

You girls have made me feel so much better. There's been a clamp down on dress code at school since I've been off so I thought I'd better put on my suit trousers for my phased return which started on Monday. It was a struggle. Just about did up but so uncomfy. When a waistband button popped off this morning I gave up and put on my leggings, tunic and floaty cardi (covers well). My fibroid made be look 6 months pregnant and now it's gone everyone thinks I'll have a washboard stomach (not that I've ever had one of those!). This "swelly belly" doesn't help your self esteem does it? Not just fat then. I have some excuse I hope. Depressing to think it might be Xmas before I SEE the benefits of this op.

My tummy still swells if I do too much and if I press on it it still feels bruised and my TAH was at the end of October.  I was told I would feel more "normal" by 6 months.  Still get odd little pains particularly on right side so not too sure what's causing that.  My appointment with my Oncologist is at the end of this month.  Currently trying to lose the 3 kilos I have put on!!!  Take care and don't do too much.

Hey lovely i would wear soft support leggings whilst out but as soon as i get back in the house its maxi dress on and knickers off! I will be 5 wks post op on monday TAH xx

Hi , 4 weeks postTAH still wearing yoga pants most days! Bought pair of nice comfy wide leg trousers from asda pre op. They are very forgiving! Stretchy waist, nice stretchy material , I wear them if going out . Ha ha! But they do look smart. Hope you can find something to wear. Don't think I will be in jeans for a while, but you are right , does make you feel a bit naff when you live in joggers etc!
