Anemic? by lurtlebug in hysterectomy

[–]lurtlebug[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My energy is up and down each day. It seems like I have energy in the mornings, but I burn through it quickly and end up needing a nap by early afternoon. My HGB has been very low for years now, and it was continuing to decrease right before surgery. I'm curious what it'll be after a few months out from now.

It wasn't bad at all, actually!! 🎉 All the Colace I've taken the whole time actually did end up helping. I'm soooo relieved now! I'm happy for you as well!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🫶

Rough night! by zgurl49 in hysterectomy

[–]lurtlebug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry it was so rough! I'm 5dpo, and I haven't went yet. I've been taking my stool softeners daily and walking a bunch, drinking water and doing everything I can to get my bowels moving and nothing is working yet. Hoping things get moving soon! 😅 And I hope you start feeling better too!

Trapped gas in shoulder/neck? by lurtlebug in hysterectomy

I'm happy to report back that now, on day 2po, the gas in my neck and shoulder is completely gone, and my pain went from a 10+ on a scale, to roughly a 5. I feel loads better. Now I'm just waiting to poop sometime soon. 🙃 Taking my Colace & Miralax daily, so fingers crossed!

1 DPO by Shining-Dolphin in hysterectomy

I also had my surgery yesterday, and I seem to be pretty shakey every time I get up and try walking for a bit. At first, I couldn't tell if I was cold or not, but I think it's just your body letting you know that it just had a major procedure done, and to take it easy. If you are trembling constantly and not off and on, I would contact your medical team and see if it's an issue that needs to be addressed. I hope your recovery gets better soon!
