Jessie comically celebrated the fact that she’s been able to successfully go to the bathroom, writing, “I have now done a 💩🎉🫀🔋,” but added that she still has “my drain… Hoping it’s out by the end of the week.”
Overall, the musician said she’s “feeling positive and grateful” after undergoing the procedure.
She also shared a note to any fans who might see her out and about post-op.
“[If] I seem a little out of it, I am,” she wrote. “It’s not personal. I don’t have what I usually have to give energy wise, understandably. I will get there. It’s a slow road. For now, I am taking it easy. Enjoying the slow vibes and staying positive.”
Jessie also shared a photo of herself holding her son Sky, writing, “Soon my boy we will cuddle.”
