I bought this in the dark teal shade in a 2x. Super big and flowy and comfortable!
Ekouaer Women's Sleeveless Pleated Nightgown
This is so insanely comfortable!! I got this in the pink leopard print, in a 2x. It has pockets, it’s super flowy and comfortable!
CRIPOM Plus Size Oversized Sleep Shirt S-5XL

Dove Antibacterial Body Wash Pump 30.6 oz
I use this anyways, but this is wonderful for keeping everything clean *down there* especially since I had some injections done vaginally during surgery, so this helped prevent any infections.

Peppermint Herbal Tea, 20 ct - Celestial Seasonings
This was truly the biggest help. Our friends organized a Meal Train for us since I am unable to bend or lift anything, and to be honest the thought of cooking made me spiral. This has been the biggest help!!
