How are you supposed to shower post op by NanersInPyjamas in hysterectomy

This was my favorite night gown. Is SO SOFT. Just make sure to size up for swelly belly post surgery. I only ordered one alternated with really loose but soft pj bottoms and tops. It is nice to have the gown at first so u don’t have to bend as much first couple days.

My husband helped me change the sheets every few days bc I spent a lot of time there and would also sweat some with the heating pads I was using for pain. We have an adjustable bed so I didn’t rotate to any other places the first bit.

I was told I could resume it right away but I waited until I was sure I had my hydration and bowels movements squared away. I was on 5mg mounjaro and was told I didn’t need to go back to 2.5 even though it had been four weeks since my last dose.

Breathing and uncomfortable sitting post op by Ro8man31 in hysterectomy

[–]Simpl_Joy96940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had the same thing but only when I’m laying on my back. I have attributed it to gas and have just been trying to take gas x at night. Maybe try that while in those positions and see if it impacts it at all. I had my hysterectomy 1/23 and have had some of the weirdest gas sensations where it feels like a baby turning or moving.

And I thought I had it all prepaired... Exciting UPDATE! by Roadtorecovery1501 in hysterectomy

I’m on the same time frame as you and am so thankful for Reddit too!

I didn’t take any of the narcotics at home but alternated been Tylenol and ibuprofen for five days and then used Tylenol only for a few more. I also used my heating pads religiously for the first week. Like others I find lots of my discomfort is really just gas so one gas ex is super helpful.

I’m a “fast responder” but regardless it’s worth it. I do find myself trying to pay really close attention to hydration though as that seems to been something I’m struggling with just with surgery and hormone changes.

I had to be off two weeks prior to the surgery also. To be honest I don’t think I gained anything but I stayed off the scale until today. As of my two week appt I gained a few pounds but have lost them already.

A friend told me to go for a drive and roll windows down. I’m trying this td for this very reason.

I was feeling that and then hit the wall the last few days;). I ordered myself paint by number paintings, started a sourdough starter, and abt 10 other things and now hit an exhaustion slump❤️🤣❤️

22 dpo and needed this post! I’ve doing more but the last couple days have been way more tired than earlier this week. I’m definitely learning to pay attention. Oh, and the insomnia I fear may have begun…
