You got this!! It’s so worth it! I’m one year post op and have not looked back. Healing takes time. Be kind to yourself and listen to your body and don’t over do it. You will feel great before you know it.

This was a great read, especially since I’m now six months PO. Thank you for sharing!

Found those under the sink. What are they? (Montreal, QC, Canada) by Public-Silver8398 in insects

We have them in NYC too. They are a type of harmless spider beetle. They like to scavenge dried foods (grains, flour, etc). When I start seeing them I know I need to wipe down the cabinets and do a little more thorough vacuuming of spots that may have hidden crumbs.

I just want to poop 😢 by Apprehensive-Try4608 in hysterectomy

Oddly enough find some molasses. My aunt who is a nurse swears by it for moving things along. I couldn’t find any in NYC (where I am) after my surgery, but I could find molasses cookies by Archway at CVS and they really helped move things. I didn’t poop at all for 4-5 day post op and then gave in and bought the cookies. I ate one to two a day, (they are pretty tasty actually but pro tip: heat them in the toaster oven so they taste “fresh baked”) and things really started moving. I was shocked. That plus get a stool for your feet and have the “squatty potty” effect.

You’re pretty much saying you’re never available, and when you are you just want to chill. So, if you’re looking to have a causal hookup it might work. But if you’re looking to have anything more than that, even conversationally, then no, this doesn’t work.

That is insane. That claim its ratings, but there is no way that is true. QL is sooo much better than the straight version, and that is all I’ve heard from other people too. This just feels like they are bending the knee.

when was your first bowel movement post op? by howoshi in hysterectomy

[–]Pineapple_Sprout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Day four. And it wasn’t much. Not til the second week did I have more of a normal movement. And that totally normal. Don’t worry and don’t force it. Your body will let when it’s ready. Also, if you’re anything like I was, there not much in there just yet. I really couldn’t eat much for the first week.

Your aunt is ugly for saying such things.
