toilet advice for after your op

have the loo roll in your hand *before* you sit down! ’nuff said x

Ha ha! Ok! Well I was thinking that too! I did wonder how the toilet works after op! How does the ‘wiping’ bit work too? Sorry about the detail! X

hahahahaha Smallen you made me laugh. xx

hshshs love it!!! I have been wondering about that xx

the wiping shouldn’t be a problem so long as your minky isn’t on top of your head, I just had real trouble with getting to the loo roll as one was on the wall and another behind me. Not pooped yet but I’ll keep you all posted, haha! xx

oh and flushing hurts! Steady your back against something so you don’t topple and flush with your foot x

loooooool you probably wont poo for a while either! not while your on them antibiotics

Bexepie, you’ll be the first to know xx

hahaaa thanks for the info, I didn’t even think about having problems going to the loo! lol xx

am trying to think of everything that’s been difficult for me but that’s the only thing I’ve had to do alone cause my fiancé has done everything and so I only had to deal with the loo alone.

Lightswitches – use your head (literally)

Drinks – use a McDonalds cup with a lid and straw or if you want to leave a drink on a surface it needs to be between hip and nip height and in front of you rather than to the side, ideally sit down and get someone to pass you your drink so you can set it down within reach

Brushing your teeth – get an electric toothbrush

In the car – get someone to buckle you in and undo you and have a V-pillow accross your chest so the belt doesn’t rub

If I think of anything else I’ll let you guys know xx

lol i hope so xx

smallen…..i’ve been turning lights on, lifting drinks, brushing my teeth and a few other things……should i not be doing these???

i think it depends on what pain your in or how your implants restrict your movements does it not?

ahhh thanks Rebecca,I am taking tramadol so I have very little pain, if any at all….so am just getting on with things, I just feel like i’ve been in the Gym for about a year!!!…… 😆

they’re just the things I’ve found painful (but I’m 1 day post-op and a total mard arse, have also gone pretty huge on a small back). Best to ask the girls at MYA if you’re unsure as I’m certainly not an expert but basic rule of thumb is if it doesn’t hurt then you can do it (and if you can show your mum/significant other/best mate this post and not do anything for a couple of weeks then go for it!) xx

lol….I am also 1 day post op and hubby is trying to do everything but i’m a stubborn cow and wont be looked after…..although i may just have a little re think for a few days xx 😆

lol nae bawhair xx (‘no bother’ in extremely Scottish slang)

oh and the lightswitch thing is probably because I’m a shortypants xx

haven’t had trouble with light switches, wiping or seat belts but can’t close the car door behind me!

Had unders so am more restricted than overs, would advice getting a toned stomach as i am using mine so much to do everything, can’t use arms you see to get up, glad my muscles are pretty strong!

Great advice ladies! Love your choice word ‘minky’ @ smallen! I heard it called many things but I like that! Just to confirm, I think the minky wiping will be ok but I was worrying about the backside as you gotta stretch round… Im sure Ill cross that bridge when I come to it in 2 weeks! I think ill spend most of my time on the floor on a big coushin so I can use my knees and legs to get me up! Worried about the sleeping part though as I always sleep op my front with both arms under pillow… Although I did give the ‘sat up’ sleep a go New year- not out of choice though mind! xx

there we go thats wot we need to do, drink until we pass out sat up… sleep problem solved lol xx

I slept on the sofa last night and was really comfy and could push myself upright with my feet on the opposite arm rest, also the pillow nest I built to prop me up had extra support from the back of the sofa.

Bum wiping – still not *ahem* experienced that yet but I reckon a rag on a stick would do it! Hahahahhaa xx

thats not healthy to not have jobbied by now….

I’m not a big pooper anyway (I cannot *believe* I’m talking about this!) I’ll give it another day and then either go for the world record or take some senna. Haha at least now we know for sure I’m full of shit! xx

lol get they laxatives in ye ewwwwwwww

Now you see, Im a daily jobbie dropper- maybe coz Im a fatty and love my food too much but that is one thing Ive been worried about! Pop some senna smallen and let us know how you get on! lol! xx

oh my god there’s a discussion about my poo! Noooooo! Hahaha I’ll be sure to let you guys know xx

ha ha ha! sorry girls!xx

ITS NOT POO ITS JOBBIE! or jobby……Either way its a pretty AWESOME word….I wanna know who came up with it and WHY?
