Six weeks wow

This has been my go to site from the moment I found out I was having a hysterectomy. Reading the information and experiences of other hystersisters made my recovery fly. I had a tah with bso on January 8. I have bikini cut incision that was closed with surgical glue. No stitches and healing quickly. Lost a lot of blood but iron pills brought me back. Other than my very first migraine in the hospital, my surgery was uneventful. Pain felt like very bad cramps which I was living with for about 40 years. I am 53 years and hadn't started menopause. I was fearful about surgical menopause but I haven't had any issues yet although I wake up everyday waiting to see. Since I was 40 I have led a very healthy lifestyle, eating well less carbs, lots of vitamins and supplements and I credit that to feeling really good and bouncing back within a couple of weeks. Back to work next week.

These 6 weeks have gone by rather quickly. My recovery as well has been uneventful other than a few days of bleeding that concerned me enough to see my doctor. Turns out it was nothing.

All the fears I had about the surgery were for nothing. BM were another story though! After the first couple that improved as well.

They allowed me to go home from the hospital after three days even without a bm. I was worried about that but lots of water drinking, resuming my high fiber diet and stool softeners made all systems go! Water drinking is number one for great recovery.

Water, water and MORE water!

I walked in the house alot as well to get things movin

Warm prune juice and a handful of prunes every day

Stool softeners 2X a day (still take them) and weaned myself off Norco as soon as I was able to helped alot

Yogi Tee Smooth Move is wonderful as well
