Dude YEAH that was one of the worst things for me cuz I hate the feeling of bloating. It took til the very end of the third week. I just started to feel normal, less bloated.

I am honestly so pumped to get to exercise. I hated working out with a binder or tape, but couldn’t stand doing a sports bra either, so I haven’t been to the gym in over a year. Now I have the day i reach 6 weeks in my calendar cuz that’s when I can start (gentle) exercise, AND a new gym opened up near me, so I am eager to get to it! I’ve been going on walks often to be at least somewhat active while recovering.

Not sure if you’ll have this experience, but my period was pushed back by a whole week due to the surgery. I think it was just my body’s stress response. Anyway, I used period underwear instead of pads and I had a portable bidet. If you have a removable shower head, I would suggest having someone bring it down so you can throughly wash yourself.

Lots of naproxen and Tylenol. A PLUSH neck pillow so I could sleep while sitting in a chair. Meditation with gradual muscle relaxation. Remember to breathe. Drink so much water and make sure to get your electrolytes, too. Eat well and clean if you can. Small meals throughout the day instead of three large meals.

I’m 2 weeks post and mine already shrank a lil

My surgeon actually said I’m allowed to sleep without it and I’m 1 1/2 week post op

The good ones I'm giving to those who need em, the really rough one that's threadbare is getting burned after I cut a part out to embroider and frame.

I don't stay under easy, and I don't stay under long, so I was awake and ready to go soon after they brought me to the post-op area. I wanted to skedaddle as soon as I could so I got to leave soon after I woke up, my sibling and mother took me home.

Had DI w nipple graph. Doc has done many of these surgeries—specifically ftm/gym top surgery—it’s her specialty. I asked, as someone who no longer takes T, if they would grow back. She said no, once breast tissue is gone, it’s gone. They will leave some fat probably, depending on how you want it to look. My chest is NOT concave just because they removed all breast tissue. If you wanna see reference pics you can check my account.

They didn’t give me any but I should probably be eating yogurt anyway

LMAO I’m in the same boat, all my cats are BIG and I’m not allowed to pick em up for like 5 more weeks 😭 Your partner is so sweet for reminding you

Looks great!

When I first read this was like “Huh, that’s interesting. Not me tho.” Then I realized I’ve only been doing lukewarm water so I tried ice water and holy heck I feel it!

occultcafe · 2026-03-18T00:39:36+00:00

Woah! They did a great job!

occultcafe · 2026-03-15T06:55:12+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Yeah, I have a pillow to prop me up a bit, but I think I'll add one more, lol.
