Jessie J said she is feeling 'positive and grateful' as she issues a health update after undergoing a mastectomy.
The singer, 37, who underwent surgery 11 days ago previously said that the cancer at present had unfortunately not 'all gone'.
In a post to her Instagram Story on Tuesday, she admitted she missed 'being an active mum the most' and was 'feeling a little out of it' as she recovers.
Alongside a photo of herself with her son Sky, two, Jessie wrote: 'For those asking for a health update. l am 11 days post surgery. I'm good.
'Missing being an active Mum / human the most. But it's been nice to slow down and Sky is having a blast with Nanny and Grandad.
'It's still uncomfortable / a little painful but l can handle that. I'm doing my exercises and taking all the healthy things. I have been trying to eat super clean.'
She continued: 'I have stopped all pain meds. Just not my thing. Also like to feel how it feels so I don't overdo it.
'I have now done a [poo emoji]. Still have my drain. Anyone else who has had this, did you feel like you are walking around one of those dog / duck toys
'I carry mine on the floor when l'm home so the gravity can help the drain. Hoping it's out by the end of the week. I am feeling positive and grateful.'
In another update, Jessie added: 'If you do see me out, sitting in a park or coming out of a doctors appointment or eating or walking or anything, and I am seem a little out of it. I am.
'It's not personal. I don't have what l usually have to give energy wise, understandably.
'I will get there. It's a slow road. For now l am taking it easy. Enjoying the slow vibes and staying positive.'
Jessie previously confirmed that she is not cancer free, a day after posting her hopes to be rid of the disease.
The singer said on Friday that her previous post had been 'misunderstood' and while she was 'praying' for good news, the cancer at present had unfortunately not 'all gone'.

Jessie went on to say that she was awaiting test results and would be taking a week's break from social media in order to 'focus on her recovery '.
Speaking about the misunderstanding she wrote: 'I posted a list of pros and cons of having breast cancer surgery. The first pro I put was... the cancer has all gone'.
'This was a positive affirmation NOT a fact. I don't have my results yet. I added the [fingers crossed emoji] in thinking people would understand and clearly a lot didn't.
She went on: 'A weird situation. My fault for not being clearer. But for now I do not have my results after surgery which was only 6 nights ago. I pray it will be true soon but the journey of cancer isn't that simple unfortunately'.
Later Jessie said: 'Tapping off socials for a week. Healthy and needed reset. To focus on my recovery and saying stuff that gets twisted of misread'.
'My head and boob hurts.Lol, Bye. Always loveeeee'.
The mix up came after she shared a health update on Instagram on Thursday which read: 'Pros: Cancer has all gone.'
She added that her mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery had gone well as she quipped: 'My nipple is where it used to be.'

Continuing her list of pros, Jessie wrote: 'I can watch Love Island with no guilt. I am getting to rest and talk to friends more than ever.'
She added that her partner Chanan Safir Colman and their son Sky have been providing support as well as her mother.
'My mum lives with us. Sky just being Sky. Chanan making me feel safe and the messages are 10/10.'
'Connecting with other people who are going through a similar time and being able to support each other.'
Later Jessie confirmed that while she had written the 'cancer is gone' she included a fingers crossed emoji as 'it's a hope not a fact'.
She added: 'I only had my surgery 4 days ago. I was just saying the pros of surgery and this situation and being positive.
'But I will get my results soon. And hopefully I can post that as a fact. But for now I don't know. But I will stay positive and talk what I want into the universe'.
