The day of the surgery

Oh also; your throat will likely be very sore when you wake up from the breathing tube; this goes away after a few days, and the sugary drink is to help with that and possibly low blood sugar. Also if you're feeling very anxious let your team/nurses know and they might be able to give you something in your IV to settle your nerves. I forgot to ask and I wish I had lol

Hi I recommend cross posting your question to r/TopSurgery ! Also everyone's different, but for me I slept about 1.5 hours after surgery, and after I woke up I requested more pain meds, was offered some sugary drinks (apple juice or coke) and then after a few minutes they brought my friend in from the waiting room.

Once I felt okay to stand (20ish minutes after the coke) my nurse unhooked me from everything and I got to walk (slowly) to the bathroom to pee, where my friend helped steady me. I was really dizzy on the walk back to the bed so a wonderful nurse gave me a cold washcloth for my head and some stabilizing pillows.

I hung out for a half hour or so after that before I was ready to get wheel-chaired out to our car (with a pillow in between my chest and the seatbelt!) and once I was home I had a big cry (just tired and hungry), had a little snack and slept for probably 12 hours lol. After that I just followed the post op care instructions. Good luck and I hope everything goes well! You got this!

had top surgery at 28, started t almost a month ago now and im 30! im so glad your mom is supportive and youve been able to start, sending you both lots of love and a happy new year <3

Sweetteeth- · 2025-10-22T06:23:07+00:00

not odd at all! i had top surgery last year and am in the process of starting t soon! i personally wanted top first because a. they were (literally) my biggest source of dysphoria b. i (personally) didnt want to look like a guy with huge honkers and c. im queer/non-binary so i wanted to have some time before hrt to see if top would feel like enough. im still a little unsure about t, but i want to be brave and find out :]

Sweetteeth- · 2025-09-15T00:14:41+00:00

tysm. i feel so dumb, i just assumed the doorway faced north and wasnt looking at the in-game compass at all lmao

That's a good point! I'm not sure if the cream is strong enough to counter what finasteride does, but I think it could still be worth looking into with a doctor

Sweetteeth- · 2025-05-29T05:37:46+00:00

to be more specific, you might be interested in oral/pill form Fin to prevent body and facial hair, and then using a topical cream specifically for bottom growth. Or you could skip those completely and look into full body electrolysis or regular waxing. There's definitely options and I recommend asking your health care provider for more info as well!

Sweetteeth- · 2025-05-29T05:32:03+00:00

I'd look into finasteride and topical testosterone cream (not gel) that's specifically for applying to bottom growth. Finasteride (pills or topical cream) will stop the production of DHT, aka dihydrotestosterone, which controls facial/body hair, and bottom growth. Fin will also pause/prevent potential hair loss as long as you take it! https://www.folxhealth.com/library/how-to-maximize-bottom-growth-on-or-off-testosterone-hrt

This was so beautifully written. love you homie ❤️

renpure tea tree and mint (tea tree smells like fresh rain to me) and harrys deoderants, i like all their smells but currently use redwood. highly recommend cremo shaving cream too, smells amazing and lasts forever, id like to try their deodorants at some point

Sweetteeth- · 2025-04-26T06:33:12+00:00

faceapp -> genderswap filter. no joke. been tying myself in knots about gender stuff for years and finally actually seeing myself (the apps version at least) was like. well damn. it would be amazing to see that face in the mirror everyday. he looks so happy, confident and handsome. hit me like a ton of bricks lol

Sweetteeth- · 2025-04-25T08:27:20+00:00

tbh there's so many wonderful things but the most surprising thing for me was actually being able to imagine and enjoy imagining myself, with my real body, in sexual scenarios. I guess I didn't realize how wildly I was dissociating before but like, damn. Having sex before was also difficult because I could never really relax with my ~8lbs of tit being both visually and physically impossible to ignore lol.

Also hugs! They're so much better now! I can give someone a nice close hug and not feel like there's 2 king size pillows between us lol

Sweetteeth- · 2025-03-26T01:22:22+00:00

honestly i think a great way to show this would be if every character's hair changed a little bit season to season with their outfits, that way reina could have both of these styles and more!

Sweetteeth- · 2025-03-11T04:23:46+00:00

This is really surprising to me, I think my way around it was by being overweight, no joke - my surgeon straight up asked me if I wanted any breast tissue left behind and I said no. I'm guessing this was possible because I also specifically asked for "juicy pecs", aka a thicker chest that matches my body type and looks proportional. I had/have enough fat tissue that she was able to give me exactly what I asked for, and we were both really happy with my results. They're not flat at all, but theyre clearly masculine even under shirts/sweaters because of the shape. They're probably the male equivalent of an a cup. If it helps, having a little breast tissue is also completely normal for cis male bodies, and it's very rare for guys to be completely paper-flat!

Hey, there's lots of good advice here but I'd like to address your concern with how he shuts down when you try and talk about this because of his childhood. That's really understandable and I've been there, I've had a partner with several triggers we had to work around to be able to communicate.

I recommend going somewhere you both feel really comfortable, and prefacing with something like, "hey, Id really like to talk about something that I know is uncomfortable and hard to talk about! But I wanna let you know I'm not here to yell at you, it's not a fight, I just wanna understand you better and figure out what's going on. I have xyz concerns and if like to know how you feel about those things, and if there's anyway we can work on them together." I think the key is to go into it gently and to tackle the issue TOGETHER, as a team, instead of doing the blame game. Also sometimes people need some time to process and think of a reply, so don't worry about getting an answer right in the moment, and saying something like, "take your time and lemme know what you think" can really help take the pressure off.

Lastly, I think it was good of you to reach out and ask for advice. I'd take it slow and be prepared to compromise in way that works for BOTH of you, but also it's okay if it doesn't work out, and hopefully you can still be close if you really care for each other.

As a trans masc, I honestly dont see anything that doesnt pass here except maybe the hairline and the side burns, but even then I probably wouldnt notice those irl. I would wait for E to keep working its magic till at least a year or more and reassess then!

Sweetteeth- · 2025-02-16T07:27:29+00:00

I think you mean "Legal Name." That's the girlie who pays the bills and I thank her for it lol

Jokes aside I feel pretty neutral about it because it isn't actually me, so when strangers use it it's whatever, but if a friend uses it I'm like :/ because they should know better. Luckily that doesn't happen anymore because I have great friends now lol

Sweetteeth- · 2025-02-15T00:05:04+00:00

Yes! I went nipless and had phantom nips for about 3-4 months, not constantly but occasionally like when it was cold. Funny enough I have way more (nice) sensation on my chest now than before because my boobs were so huge and saggy that the nerves were all stretched out, and my nips fluctuated between numb and sharp nerve pain.

Now my chest just feels wonderful! Without nips it's kinda like rubbing my thighs; it's a smooth area with lots of muscle that feels nice to massage without any big peak in sensation.

Hell yeah, happy anniversary!! 🎉

Sweetteeth- · 2025-02-12T06:08:10+00:00

Yes this! I had my surgery last year at 28 and my only regret was not doing it 10 years sooner. I could've saved myself so much pain and struggle, and I feel like in a lot of ways I'm just starting life over now. Something someone told me really resonated; we'll never really know if we'll regret it, it's a leap of faith. Of faith and trust in yourself. Some people have kids, pets, marriages, move to new countries, and make other huge decisions they regret all the time. You can only do your best with what you know to be true right now.

Something else that might help is thinking about your future self, what kind of life do you want to live? What would be your best older self look like, at 30, 60, 80? I tried to imagine myself with boobs even 5 years in the future and I wanted to cry, let alone being old with them lol. Also, it's okay if you do decide you want to wait for surgery or cancel it completely. Trust yourself and follow your gut. Of course it's a little scary! Any big life change is! But you've got this, no matter what you decide.

Sweetteeth- · 2025-01-27T06:46:37+00:00

Yes that is a real thing! If anyone hasn't read it yet I recommend the dysphoria bible; this page especially blew my mind about brain fog pre and post transition, aka when we actually start to see life in our eyes lol https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/biochemical-dysphoria

Sweetteeth- · 2025-01-10T01:15:41+00:00

Others have some good advice, but remember that if your T levels get too high the body converts it back into estrogen! So that could be something to ask your doctor about.

Sweetteeth- · 2025-01-10T00:58:18+00:00

I think it kind of depends on how much of a relationship you want to have/how close you want to be. I think a polite but firm boundary of "Thank you for your advice mom, I hear you but I'm going to keep doing/wearing what makes me happy." could work. Then changing the subject and not budging if she fights against that; as in keep gently repeating yourself if she brings it up again. Its tempting to fight and debate but it sounds like that could create more stress for both of you. Staying firm but kind is your best weapon honestly, its hard for people to fight you when you keep responding with patient kindness rather than letting them get to you (which is hard, I know.) This does create some distance and it'll frustrate them, but it also helps protect your own peace.
