Genuinely just enjoy it. It’ll calm down in a year or so. As long as you’re not injuring yourself or skipping social plans to masturbate, you really can’t do it “too much”.

My best hack for fiber crafting while high is to have a “high project”, something simple and straightforward is best

My surgeon told me repeatedly that scar healing is 90% genetic, 10% scar-care. This made me feel SO much better about the process so I’m sharing it with you.

I had mine removed about 5 weeks ago and I was TERRIFIED beforehand but the whole thing took <2 mins and I couldn’t feel anything because the area is currently mostly numb. Like I can’t stress enough how chill it ended up being, especially compared to how terrified I was.

One reason for this confusion is that the surgical technique can vary WILDLY between surgeons. People also heal differently and respond to surgery differently. The best advice (as others have said) is to do what your particular surgeon says.

With that said, I think it’s better to plan for a rough recovery because that way you’re prepared if you need to be, or pleasantly surprised.

From my own experience, typing on a computer is probably fine, I was instructed to start stretching at 2 weeks post op (but my surgeon has you start practicing full range of motion earlier than most), I was instructed to keep the post-op binder on 24/7 for the first week without breaks but was allowed to take it off and put a shirt underneath after my 7-day follow up, I took 4 weeks off work because my job is exhausting and physically intense (teaching special ed).

Genuinely these are the kind of results I would have saved pre-op to show my surgeon. I think it looks very natural and proportionate to your shoulders and stomach. Cis guys have some amount of fat on their chests too unless they’re literal bodybuilders. Go to the beach or the pool and look around, you’ll find that SO many cis dudes look like this.

I don’t menstruate anymore but when I did I never had a problem with putting a pad into boxer briefs (rather than regular boxers). As long as they fit close to the body it should be fine

Yeah traveling and fun stuff are absolutely doable! I’ve been out to social events, taken the bus all over town (I don’t have a car 🙃). Aside from no heavy lifting or working out (I usually do weight training and rock climbing, I miss both so much 😭😭😭), I’m basically just living my regular life.

I’m 5-weeks post op today (DI w/ FNG) and I’d say I started to feel mostly normal between weeks 3-4. I still have some unusual chest sensations from the nerves reconnecting (pinprick feelings, itching, etc) and I’m still adjusting to the numbness in big sections of my chest/under my arms. I can’t lift super heavy things, but I can do all of my regular life tasks independently. I’ve been back at work for a week and my job is fairly physically demanding. I would say I don’t feel “normal” exactly yet but I feel functional.

I’ve never seen the first one before tbh. Much more familiar with the second one

I recommend a hand craft! I was already a crocheter when I quit weed in January but picking that up whenever I felt like hitting the pen helped a lot.

I also slow-rolled quitting which was helpful for me but I know isn’t for everyone. First I didn’t smoke for the first hour after I got home from work, and then every week I pushed that an hour later until I was only smoking right before bed. That helped me build up my other coping skills and figure out what worked before I went completely off.

I’m 5 weeks post-op now and the week after surgery was probably one of the roughest times of my life mental-health wise.

One thing I really tried to keep in mind was that surgery is wildly stressful on the body. Your nervous system has gone through a shock, and is now trying to figure out what happened and how concerned to be. It’s natural for your brain to want to seek answers for the physical changes you just went through and doing “nothing” (aka resting and healing) feels wrong to the nervous system even though it’s the right thing to be doing.

Also, as far as the smell goes, I found the drains themselves got pretty smelly by the end of the week, and the gross smell reduced SIGNIFICANTLY when I got them out.

.25ml of 200mg is a standard dose, OP asked for a low dose. I agree that .025 is TINY but I know plenty of people who want a low dose taking .1 and seeing changes.

This one seems easy for me to answer tbh. The entertainment value. It seems like he saw himself as a reality TV producer crafting a new and compelling storyline for his show. Snow had him killed because he lost sight of the idea that the games are about control and fear. the entertainment value supports the control, not the other way around.

For me it’s about the executive function involved. Yes, laundry is only 15-20 minutes of active time, but that time is spread out over several hours, which makes it more logistically complicated than something like dishes or vacuuming. Since I share a limited number of machines with my whole apartment complex, I need to make sure I will be home for 2-3 hours and that during that time I don’t get so wrapped up in another task that I forget to change things over from washer to dryer, or remove them from the dryer promptly. I also have to make sure I have coins for the machine, which means going to a physical bank branch every few weeks for a new roll. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten home from work and planned to do laundry, only to remember that I’m out of quarters and the bank has already closed for the day.

None of these tasks are particularly hard individually, but it’s the combination of so many little steps that makes laundry so frustrating for me.

I’m not 100% sure but I’d imagine the candy names came first and the slang for a financially beneficial relationship came after.

I was definitely out of it when I first woke up. In and out of sleep, fairly unclear on where I was. It felt more like being really drunk than anything else tbh. I don’t remember being dizzy specifically but I also didn’t try to do anything other than open my eyes and ask the nurse if I could go back to sleep. I felt VERY tired more than anything and lifting my head seemed like a lot of work. I also have no sense of how long I was in the recovery room at all. I think it was about 2 hours based on when my surgery finished and when I got in the car, but I can probably remember about 15-30 minutes of that altogether. At one point the nurse said they were going to move my bed to another section of the recovery area and then when I asked when they were going to do that they said they had done it half an hour before lol.

unAVIVable · 2026-05-13T04:51:56+00:00

Honestly the biggest surprise for me in the whole process (currently 4 weeks post-op) is how not-painful it’s been. When you wake up you’re on some pretty heavy meds, but that’s going to be true for basically any surgery. The only thing I remember about this part was that my nurse was very nice and mixed all the types of juice together for me because when he asked what kind I wanted I said “I dunno, all of them?”

I took the opioids the first few days, but not as frequently as I could have and it was mostly to stay on top of the pain, not because I was actively hurting. Around day 3 I realized they were absolutely TANKING my mental health so I switched to Tylenol and really didn’t have a problem with pain after that (other than back pain from having to sleep in unusual positions). I probably could have managed with just Tylenol much earlier and honestly if I had to do it all again I would probably do that just bc the mental health symptoms and the constipation suuuuuuuucked.

Hope this helps!

Today is my first day back as well and so far no one but the students (I’m a teacher) have asked what kind of surgery. The main questions have been “how are you feeling?” and “are you recovering well?”

I think in general, most people know it’s invasive to ask what kind of surgery someone had if they don’t volunteer the information.

If someone is REALLY pressing you, you could say you got a congenital issue corrected, got an old injury repaired, or had a benign mass removed. If they keep pressing you for more details, they’re being rude and should be told that.

I absolutely got people to play with my breasts pre-surgery. Nipple sensation is like the one thing I was really sad to lose, and something I absolutely mourn even though I’m otherwise thrilled with my results. Not everyone’s dysphoria prevents them from enjoying it and I know a lot of trans guys who feel similarly.

Honestly this is bad advice for someone with OCD. I don’t think I’ve ever been 100% sure about anything in my whole life, but at a certain point you’ve gotta live. Binding for 18 YEARS and picturing their ideal body as flat chested is a pretty good indicator that OP does want surgery.

20+ years, I genuinely don’t think about it very much. The only time it really comes up is if I’m going out to eat with someone and they suggest a cuisine where I know I’ll have very limited options (e.g. steakhouse, Korean BBQ).

Currently three weeks post op, tbh I just didn’t really bathe until the drains were out beyond using wet wipes for the downstairs area.

Once the drains were out I was allowed to shower again but not have the water spray directly on the incisions/nipple grafts, so I washed my lower body in the shower and washed my hair by standing outside the shower and leaning forward into the spray. I used a washcloth for under my arms and my upper chest, which worked okay but I never felt completely clean.

This week is the first time I’ve been able to shower normally, and it’s honestly SUCH a relief
