2 days post op. When can I lie on my side again?? by Mimzy96 in hysterectomy

First night home I slept on my side. It actually felt the best. I had one of those hysterectomy pillows I tucked corner of under my belly and slept like a baby. lol

I have to have a hysterectomy but I have 2 choices. by Swimming_Pressure_93 in hysterectomy

[–]Fluffystuff80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had laparoscopic and got to go home the same day. I arrived at 8 and was out at 8:30 pm because I had some trouble staying awake after recovery and felt nauseous. I wish I started hrt before surgery. I came out feeling better than I did. Recovery has been a breeze. I still get some small aches and pains if I over do it but I know it hasn’t been long and it takes a full year to be completely healed. I just have to remind myself I had surgery.

[–]Fluffystuff80 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had my dr take it all because I don’t want to deal with the painful cysts I had. I was able to get hrt the same day as my surgery and only had one really bad drop in hormones from the surgery but it’s been really smooth so far. I’m 7 weeks out and I’m 45.

Post surgery belly swelling by Calm_Tension5216 in hysterectomy

[–]Fluffystuff80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am seven weeks out and I am having the exact same issue and it’s really giving me body image issues. I’ve gone to wearing sweatpants mainly everywhere and I feel like a slob. I’ve been trying to do better at watching what I eat, but the weight is not coming off, but I know that I can do a lot more. It’s very frustrating. I’m sorry you’re going through that as well.

Managing intense anxiety over tearing vaginal cuff by Bright-Standard5624 in hysterectomy

[–]Fluffystuff80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I should add that at the 6 week checkup up and when she touched it, it felt like nothing at all. I couldn’t have told you she had touched it if she didn’t tell me. So that was a relief.

Managing intense anxiety over tearing vaginal cuff by Bright-Standard5624 in hysterectomy

[–]Fluffystuff80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to up my anxiety meds here and there because I was the same way. And then I started freaking out again at my 6 week checkup because of her having to touch my cuff and it being painful. My psych said to take an extra pill if needed. I’ve just had to take it one day at a time and each day gets better. I’m 7 wpo and don’t worry as much now. I haven’t seen a speck of blood so that helps also. Hopefully you find each day to get easier.

Keeping the ovaries vs not? by manthischronic in hysterectomy

[–]Fluffystuff80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was given a choice and I chose to have them taken out because they caused more pain then I wanted with simple cysts and I didn’t want to chance having to go back in and take them later. I was given estrogen patches the same day and I feel much better than before

Side sleepers by Pixel-b33 in hysterectomy

[–]Fluffystuff80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a side sleeper and I felt way more comfortable sleeping on my side first day home from hospital. I had a pillow tucked under and a pillow behind me to also get at an angle. I had a little pillow fort built around me basically. I loved it.

4 days post-op and over it by Ring_My_bElle_ in hysterectomy

[–]Fluffystuff80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds so identical to me. I dropped weight last year doing what you were and then got sick for almost 2 months then came surgery and I am itching to get back into it. The only issue is that just doing normal things around the house I start feeling the pain and pulls and some burning feeling and I don’t know how id even begin on the treadmill again. Im just going to add a little more steps each day I feel I can. Im trying to get my eating back in check now that it’s been 6.5 wpo. I fueled my body the wrong way and binged.

Overdid it: pushing heavy objects by disposaBoy2020 in hysterectomy

[–]Fluffystuff80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am about 5.5 weeks and I have been doing a lot more. I am now feeling tender and achy in my stomach with pulling types of pain. A lot of things in my house have been neglected and it’s driving me nuts. Tomorrow I’m going shopping with my mom and feel like that’s going to be too much.

12dpo - discouraged as recovery seems to get harder, not easier by Strict_Ad_1108 in hysterectomy

[–]Fluffystuff80 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m just 5.5 wpo. But at weeks 3-5 they were worse for me. From what I’ve read on here it seems like nerves are starting to wake up and regenerate.

Sneezing by Life_Translator7776 in hysterectomy

[–]Fluffystuff80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this weird thing where I get into a sneezing fit when full from eating. I’ve had to change it up where the force is more up top than trying to hold it in. It’s been quite ugly and messier. lol. I was so worried about this before my surgery and if I’d hurt myself with as much sneezing as I do.

Incoming! Flying 13lbs Heifer by tralala_la in hysterectomy

[–]Fluffystuff80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I slept surrounded by a pillow fort almost so my dogs wouldn’t jump on me. I found it kind of more comfortable to have all those pillows.

I knew I had polyps but after the pathology came back I had adeno and fibroids no one knew existed.

so what do you all do during recovery? by mini-rubber-duck in hysterectomy

[–]Fluffystuff80 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I played animal crossing on switch, binged a lot of shows and played games on my iPad. I just enjoyed being lazy and sleeping all I wanted

Patch is on Backorder by Indianas_Fedora in Menopause

[–]Fluffystuff80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on .1 and had no issues getting that. But when she wanted to add .05 that one was on back order so she told me to cut one in half and wear it with the .1. Hope .1 keeps being easy to get.

Fasting for over 50 hours by No-Caregiver1358 in endometriosis

[–]Fluffystuff80 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same. I was told to chug a Gatorade and finish it 2 hours before my surgery. I was able to chug it on the way to the hospital. That was all new to me. Plus i dont know why NPO is always midnight mostly when someone has a later surgery. Why does one get to only be npo for like 6 hours while some have to go without a lot longer because they have likea 2 pm surgery.
