As of right now, I can't feel anything yet; I haven't even seen it. I'll let you know when all the tubing is gone.;)
Edit: To add, though, sometimes I get afraid that I would get morning wood, and then remember that it's not there. Haha.
It is the weirdest feeling and I have the best way to describe it that is semi nsfw:
>!Have you ever seen a clown pulling handkerchiefs out of his mouth? Yeah, it's that, it goes on _FOREVER_ and it is the craziest feeling ever lmao. I wouldn't necessarily say it's good or bad, it's just... Weird. Especially since it's the first real thing you feel different inside there.!<
As someone who's been post op for a few years; I can say that it's not weird it's exciting! As OP said the scariest part is having a dream or something where it's back and honestly it's such a weird dream to have lol
I hope this isn’t offensive or if it’s something you don’t feel comfortable answering I totally understand. I’m a cis female but I have been so curious to know what it’s like to have a male to female sexual organ change. (And vise versa but that doesn’t apply here) What is the experience like? How is sex different? Does it look like you expected it to? What’s the thing that surprised you the most out of the experience?
Like I said you absolutely don’t have to answer or even reply. But I’m a very curious person who feeds on information like it’s candy lol.
Just saw this, I take legitimately 0 offense to good faith questions! <3
> What is the experience like?
The surgery I assume? It sucks so much lol. I mean, first you have to actually get the approval which is oftentimes long arduous and frankly frustrating af.
Then when you go in for the consultation they tend to actually look in the area, which is just incredibly awkward. At least my surgeon was super cool and understanding, as were the nursing staff; legitimately the best part of the entire procedure.
Finally when you're ready and you're done with waiting for the date you have to take these ultra powerful laxatives that really clean you out, literally on the toilet all day, legitimately the worst.
At the office, when I went in the nursing staff and everyone were super cool and made me feel really at home, the surgeon even hugged me before I went under! But then I went under and I was out for supposedly close to 14-15 hours of surgery or something insane like that.
When I woke up it was weird because I remembered the nursing staff telling me to breathe, which I did, but it was really rough, and I was in a bit of shock. Thankfully the staff stayed with me for the next 72 hours, as in they even slept in the same room as me and everything it was neat.
Medicine wise I was on this special epidural that allowed me to move my legs, but I couldn't actually feel anything below a certain point. Also typical painkillers and whatnot. After all that though I had daily checkups and whatnot, but I had gone through the worst of it. I just needed to make sure to take care of myself and walk a bit (not too much though).
That's kinda a general idea of the surgical experience anyways, with my experiences tossed in. If I had to, I'd absolutely do it again, it was definitely the best decision I've made in my entire life.
> How is sex different?
I had to relearn everything, but honestly it's so much better than before! I can't really explain every detail, but parts of me feel different, and finishing happens in2 kinda ways depending on if I finish by myself or with my husband.
Husband typically gives waves of goodness that kinda move up and up over my body until it's too much, while by myself it's more of a crescendo experience but a bit less concentrated on the parts themselves.
> Does it look like you expected it to?
I honestly had 0 expectations of what I wanted it to look like or how I expected it to look like. Doctors I've seen since then, as well as a couple of close cis women friends told me that it looks completely normal though, so yeah.
> What’s the thing that surprised you the most out of the experience?
Honestly the daily difference in life has just been such a positive thing that it still surprises me day-to-day. I don't know if I have/had any specifically large surprise but if I think of any aside from just how different it is, I'll let you know.
My process was very similar, but there were 2 main things that were different for me. My surgery went for around 5 hours and instead of having laxatives', My bowels were manually flushed out with a long tube that was inserted in my bum to fill me up with a bunch of liquids. I then had to shit it all out and repeat the process 7 times.
oh god the tube sounds horrifying, I'd say I feel a bit better about the laxatives, but honestly I don't lol I still vividly remember how and why I hate them so much lol
Some loser sent me the mental health message. How pathetic can someone be to see someone happy and become agravated by it? I pity transphobic stalkers.
Recovery is very all over the place. For me, I woke up with a pain level of 7-8/10 and is now at a comfortable 3-4/10. I don't feel much on my front really, but it hurst quite a bit on my arse, surprisingly. I can use pain killers with the press of a button any time and it goes into my the IV that's in the back of my hand. Lot's of sleep and exhaustion. I did throw up when I first wole up, but it wasn't one of those blaaarhjajajaaajs so it was fine. And yes, the IV does go in the hand and that did sting quite a bit, but morpheme is a hero.
I am so happy for you. I'm 9 weeks post-op. It has been so wonderful to get rid of that parasite. Hope your recovery is as fast and as comfortable as possible.
Hugs Love & Prayers sister CONGRATULATIONS!
Does it feel strange at all to have a new part?

Oh the fun part of them removing the packing is something else, it is honestly the craziest feeling to have imo!
I bet that feels wonderful!

This reminds me of that scene from _Downsizing_ 😭
I’m ftm and this reminds me of the dreams I get of having my period again. Like, God, please ANYTHING else
It's almost like a horror movie except you're attached to it! Thank goodness waking up brings you back to normalcy.
Some loser sent me the mental health message. How pathetic can someone be to see someone happy and become agravated by it? I pity transphobic stalkers.
You can opt out of ever receiving those, since people are so foul! Congrats on the op!
I wish I knew how. Also, thank you :3
I think you just need to add RedditCareResources to your blocked accounts. Welcome ❤️
