Day 2 and counting

Hello everyone, just had my hysterectomy 2 days ago and feeling extremely bloated and bored. I'm an avid exerciser and realize if I want to heal properly I have to "take it easy." One of my main concerns is weight gain. I kept my ovaries but not sure if that makes a difference. Would love to hear that this does get better and the gassiness eventually goes away??

Princess Ruby has linked our Post-Op Page above, which is packed with information that addresses most commonly asked questions, and I see you've already found the Post-Op Support Forum. Please start a new thread of your own there, however (just as you did here) so more sisters can share their experiences regarding any concerns, since often the best input will come from those who have already been through the recovery process. Been there, done that!

Sending all good wishes as you continue to heal!
