It will get better

Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to say that after 16 weeks I think I am where I should be. I had a total hyst but was able to keep ovaries. 25 staples down my belly. BUT..... My swelly belly isn't there as much anymore..it is just flab that I need to work off. My hormones are back on track...I don't feel as criey and fly off the handle as much as earlier. My bm have finally started by themselves! I actually have the feeling this week of "having to go to the bathroom" and then actually going! I am still somewhat tired after doing too much but let's face it...this wasn't a cake walk. I had major surgery and parts removed!
So please, everyone that is on week one...I remember when I was afraid to turn around in the shower for fear of falling or hurting myself; sleeping for 4 hours because I was awake for 2; not being able to walk to the mailbox because I would cry when I couldn't make it back to the house without feeling tired---. It will get better!

Funny. I just posted something similar that, at 8 weeks, I am feeling so much more normal too.

Congrats on your progress! Thanks for sharing!
