Your Recovery Starts Before Surgery

Your Recovery Starts Before Surgery

Most people focus on the day of surgery — but smart recovery starts days before the procedure. Preparing your space, mindset, and essentials can dramatically improve healing and reduce stress afterward. Here’s your ultimate post-surgery checklist, built with insights from BeShapy’s medical and wellness experts.

🛏 1. Create a Healing Environment

Turn your recovery area into a sanctuary of calm. You’ll spend a lot of time here — so make it supportive, safe, and soothing.

  • Soft pillows and blankets
  • BeShapy Inflatable BBL Pillow for support
  • Adjustable lighting (soft and dimmable)
  • Extension cord within reach
  • Books, movies, or music for relaxation

👉 Shop BeShapy Comforts

🧴 2. Prepare Hygiene & Skincare Essentials

Showering may be limited, but hygiene can’t wait. Keep your skin clean and hydrated with non-irritating products.

  • BeShapy Body Wipes — Alcohol-free, pH-balanced, Vitamin E + Aloe
  • Dry shampoo or rinse-free cleansing foam
  • Clean towels and hand sanitizer
  • Lip balm and facial moisturizer

👗 3. Prepare Your Post-Surgery Clothing

You’ll need clothing that’s loose, breathable, and drain-friendly.

  • BeShapy Recovery Robe with Drain Pockets
  • Loose pajamas or gowns
  • Easy-slip footwear
  • Compression garment or faja (as instructed by your doctor)

👉 Shop BeShapy Robe

💧 4. Stock Up on Hydration & Nutrition

Your body will use tons of energy to heal. Fuel it with simple, nourishing foods and stay hydrated.

  • Reusable water bottle
  • Coconut water for electrolytes
  • Protein shakes or soups
  • Fresh fruits and veggies

💡 Pro tip: Avoid processed sugar and caffeine during your first week.

🩹 5. Organize Medical & Care Items

Keep your medical tools accessible and labeled.

  • Gauze pads and medical tape
  • Pain medication (prescribed)
  • Thermometer
  • Compression socks
  • Doctor’s contact info

🧘 6. Prepare Mentally & Emotionally

Recovery can be challenging, especially if you’re used to staying active. Plan ahead for emotional comfort and patience.

  • Guided meditations or podcasts
  • Gratitude journal
  • Support buddy or caregiver
  • Comfortable rest space
