what is like waking up after SRS?
>>41691414barely remember desu
>>41691431has dating been more or less difficult post op?
>>41691414Went over my posts right after waking up yesterday cause it was funtl:dr>felt groggy>crotch felt numb but very odd>like my brain was trying to figure where what was now>first time sneezing hurt like a bitch>if you know you knowGenerally I'd describe it as overwhelming in so many ways, like something that tormented me for 18 years left the roomFelt normal and for the lack of a better term "like myself" for the first time Any specific questions tho OP?
>>41691480way easier. the people telling you otherwise are transbians or chasers who all want gock. far more men are willing to date posties than preops. currently engaged
>>41691616have you noticed if there is a difference where clockier trans women have an easier time pre-op?
>>41691492u got srs at 18?
>>41691731kind of hard to be tormented by your own genitals as a literal baby. probably starting count from like 5-11
>>41691616omg based yayi was so worried because everyone told me that men would lose interest after i cut it off :'c
>>41691731Yeah>>41691750Idk they were forced onto me at birth, never felt like mine igBut 18 years would be hyperbolic ig
>>41691731>>41691840Ah soz meant 19, too eepy sleepy to notice the typo
>>41691762>everyone told me that men would lose interest after i cut it offanother victim of chasers lies
>>41691414I think I felt relieved/peaceful that the state of having gock was over. Physically I felt like I could feel two specific "cuts" under the bandages, but it wasn't really painful, as I was given morphine. As the days went by in the hospital, I noticed feeling "stuffed". Lying in the bed became very painful after a while, and could only be temporarily relieved by holding onto the railing on the side of the bed and lifting myself to laying more on one side at an angle. After maybe 4 days, I was allowed to go out of bed to empty the pissbag myself, and to order food, which I was now allowed to eat. Late at night the day before I went home, I had to shit, but unfortunately, the bandagepackage felt like it was sticking out over my ashole a little, so I had to put on a glove and put my hand between the log and the bandages, but it was a nice firm log with no mess. Then the day came when I went home. The sensation of the nurse pulling out the tamponade is something I'll never forget, it was the first time I felt anything in this new organ the doctor had constructed. It felt very uncomfortable and wierd, and I pictured it as being born anew through myself. After this, I was instructed on how to dilate, and did it for the first time. Then the nurse went away. Unfortunately, to my great embarassment, as I was lying there alone and dilating, it was apparently time for the cleaner to do my room lmao
>>41691414you have no energyyou cant even hold up your phone or crane your neck to read a bookall you can do is eat a little, turn on the tv, and mindlessly watchno energy to talk beyond the nurse questionsyou are also in a lot of painbut youre glad that its finally over, your bottom dysphoria is finally at an end
>>41691973>you are also in a lot of painhow much pain?
>>41691414am I still allowed to hate my genitals? I thought woke people don't let you do it anymore
>>41691616i want srs like crazy but without a bf to help me recover idk the thought of doing it all by myself is so daunting
>>41691492OP here. Im really curious about things like identity, thoughts you had about the change, how your overall awareness of your body changed. When did it really get real for you that everybody that will see you naked from this point on will see you differently? what is that moment like?(im preop btw)
>>41691917these are the details im curious about. its gross but i am really worried about that first shit. it's right there and its going to be moving around very sensitive/delicate things. >>41692041im in the same boat. idk how we are supposed to do this while single. and i dont get how im supposed to get my guy when I have the wrong genitals. its like a chicken and egg problem.
>>4169223it makes me really sad. i just want to find someone who likes me for me. the fact that im gonna get srs is secondary
>>41692234I don't remember the shit as particularly problematic, once I had figured out how to handle it. I don't remember it as hurting very much (i was not on morphine anymore I think, only paracetamol and maybe som other anti inflammatory thing maybe). You calling it "that first shit" implies this is a common/expected event, Didn't know that?
>>41691475looks like before
>>41691414https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJwyjWpP4XAThis is what SRS feels like.
>>41693251booner
>>41692545I might be building it up in my head. It just makes me nervous. Like keeping it clean and not straining/squeezing.>coming out of anesthesia after fasting>weird hospital food>not able to moderate my hydration that well>area immediately ajacent to the anus is a major surgery siteIt seems like all the ingredients for a rough time
>>416919806/10, with 7/10 being the pain of an abscess infection after your wisdom teeth were removed and you cannot close your mouth anymore due to the sheer pain
>>41694699why aren't they giving your pain killers so it's like a 3/10? This is some bullshit!
>>41692192>awareness of body changedLike when did it feel differently to pre op?Immediately >When did it really get real for you that everybody that will see you naked from this point on will see you differently? what is that moment like?Not sure what you mean by that, like, do you mean when was the first time being naked around other people?Gf and her parents took me to a sauna spa
>>41695391>Like when did it feel differently to pre op?>ImmediatelyBecause it hurt or things felt out of place?>Not sure what you mean by that, like, do you mean when was the first time being naked around other people?I guess I mean more when it hits you that you aren't the same person anymore, that people are going to see you differently now. That you can fully blend in.
>>41695695>hurt or felt out of placeNah, because it just felt, idk, correct ig? Like my brain tried to make sense of what changed down there and went "finally">different personIdk I never saw me as different person>people going to see you differently nowDidn't think about that either since we typically don't run around naked>you can fully blend itDid that before so not sure what you mean sorry
>>41691414>>41692192Not that anon, but>what is like waking up after SRS?I honestly don't remember waking up directly. I remember them asking my consent one more time before putting me under anesthesia, and then I remember being in my hospital room later that day with my parents and a Thai nurse there. I remember feeling my groin covered in bandages and being numb with a dull pain, but being able to tell that my penis and balls were gone. I remember crying in front of my mom because I was so happy.>OP here. Im really curious about things like identity, thoughts you had about the changeIt definitely removed a lot of the imposter syndrome for me. The idea that I'm not a woman now just seems kind of quaint and stupid, as are people who say I'm not one. Like, I have boobs and a vagina now and I pass and have a boyfriend who fucks me nightly. I don't have the ability nor the right to call myself a man anymore.>how your overall awareness of your body changed.It felt nice to be aware of the change. My genital dysphoria was really really bad in hindsight.>When did it really get real for you that everybody that will see you naked from this point on will see you differently? what is that moment like?It feels good to know that, but I don't think about stuff like that very much. Only my SRS surgeon and nurses and my boyfriend have seen me down there, and I don't plan on ever increasing that list. It feels nice to wear a bikini at the beach and not worry a bit about it though.
Imagine someone trans waking up from a coma with no memories of being trans and going "where's my penis?!"
>>41695289I don't know why they did that to Nona but I think it really depends from hospital to hospital and whether they're willing to give you the good stuff (morphine, oxy) or not.I remember every moment of waking up from my jaw surgery. It was like a dreamless sleep, stuck in a black void, them suddenly a flash in the void, but instead of light it was excruciating pain. I remember before even being fully awake or opening my eyes I was vomiting a lot (after JAW SURGERY mind you) and being surrounded by doctors and nurses in the "waking up" room for a good hour of pain and discomfort while they tried to stabilize me before they finally gave me more oxycodone and the pain lessened some.Compared to that, after my SRS I literally just woke up high on morphine and very little, dull pain down there. Never threw up once the whole time while in Thailand.
>>41695828doctors will only ever cure transness as a prank, never when someone asks for it. its the rules.
>>41695780Okay whoa, this is really getting at what I was curious about. I think I have the same flavor of imposture syndrome.If I may ask, what age did you get SRS at? >>41695874aaaaaaa I have FFS coming up in a couple months. This scares me. >>41696079This. You have to trick them into helping you.
>>41695874they insist on only letting you have acetaminophen and ibuprofen for ffs until you earn the good stuff by vomiting in pain. why are they like this
>>41696601The war on opiates ended up making it so nobody in the US gets strong painmeds any more. The DEA/FDA are up every doctor's ass about every prescription. FYI your prescriptions are now monitored and if they think you are abusing opiates, you get flagged and every doctor will see if they try to prescribe more. At that point they will treat you like a doctor shopper pill popper.
>>41696903health access fucked for life when could have just refused all pain meds and byo fent
>>41696497>If I may ask, what age did you get SRS at?29>>41696497>aaaaaaa I have FFS coming up in a couple months. This scares me.Are you getting jaw surgery with it? If so good luck, Mine sucked worse than SRS with its recovery, and I only got that and jaw bone contouring with it. Can't imagine recovery with the nose and upper face all messed up too...>>41696601>they insist on only letting you have acetaminophen and ibuprofen for ffs until you earn the good stuff by vomiting in pain. why are they like thisi didnt even need the oxycodone after the first day anyways grr. It takes a week to actually get addicted.
reading this thread is kinda gross but in a magical wayhumanity has come so far we're so advanced that we can reconfigure someone's dicknballs to be not that and its just regular tuesday stuffsomeone can want their body to be different and we have the technology to not only do that but so safely its almost routineyou guys are all proto cyberpunk transhumanist pioneers thats fuckin awesome
>>41698748>Are you getting jaw surgery with it? If so good luck, Mine sucked worse than SRS with its recovery, and I only got that and jaw bone contouring with it. Can't imagine recovery with the nose and upper face all messed up too...aaaa fuck. im getting two stage FFS. jaw/chin countouring, tracheal shave, type 3 forehead, fat transger to my cheeks, lips chin for stage 1. then nose and a second stage of fat transfer where needed in stage 2.I'll try to look at the bright side that if I can make it through this, its at the very least a good warmup for SRS.
>>41700387Contouring only is nothing, you should be fine. It's when they're moving your jaw forward or backward that it becomes a real pain.
>>41701448Are you talking about jaw (not chin) lengthening?
>>41692234>and i dont get how im supposed to get my guy when I have the wrong genitals. its like a chicken and egg problem.you can go for one that'll put up with (ignore) the nono parts and support you during the op and recovery, but there's some risks involved>t. one of those, wouldn't recommend someone dating me
>>41694099I agree. Obviously you need to have some foot support on the toilet so you don't need to squeeze (which you should really never have to do). The hospital I was at had pretty high set toilets (because of wheelchairs I guess?) but I found a plastic bowl on a shelf I used. Idk why they make you shit while you still have it all packed up. Or well, I guess they can't calculate the timing of the first shitting that precisely, maybe they just want you to do it in the hospital in case something goes wrong, like with peeing. Tbh, the proximity of the srsussy to the rectum made me think I had a fistula, when something was put in the pussy deep it gets a really anusy feel when ur not used to it. Although, the entire pussy assembly feels very far forward in the nerves, compared to how very far back the hole actually is
>>41701668I don't think my bj game is good enough to keep him
>>41701739hers was terrible too, I still stuck around
>>41695780The imposter thing is so true. It doesn't matter what anyone thinks about my gender when I literally have tits and pussy (although also kinda luckshit skeletal structure). No matter what anyone says and no matter how much or little I wear, I'm still physically shaped like a woman. I love life without surpluss junk!
>>41695289they gave me oxys, 2 whenever i askedit didnt do shitbut it did constipate me, which i figured was probably a good thing to avoid dirtying the dressing, so i took them every morning and thats it (it sucked)the hospital policy is morphine only at 9/10 paini couldve lied about my pain level but i didnt have the energy to think that through when i first woke up and figured if i suddenly jumped to 9/10 after they would be suspicious
>>41695289>>41702168forgot to add that they prescribed pregabalin after i was discharged and that actually helped a lot, dropped my pain to 0/10 (1/10 at night)in hindsight its fucking infuriating that they didnt prescribe it to me while i was utterly miserable in the hospitali told them the oxys werent doing shit and i was only taking them for the conspitation but the nurses never even mentioned pregabalin as an option
how long did it take for nonas here to be mostly self reliant after srs? im getting srs in 6 months and my mom agreed to travel and stay with me for the initial 2 weeks but is that enough? i will have 3 months of wfh so i will still be resting a lot still but i don't have a partner so i would be on my own
>>41702517Walked out of the hospital and went on a walk tbqhOnly a sitch poking my clit with every step ruined the fun
>>41701783was her neopussy worth it?
>>41701584I had jaw lengthening and realignment on my upper jaw, and jaw shortening on my lower jaw. In addition I had jaw contouring which was just shaving the edge of the lower jaw bone to change its shape.
>>41703656HOLYMOLEY I didn't even know they did that to upper jaws. That must have been a huge change to your face. Congrats on making it through that recovery. Are you happy with it all? Did it work out after all the pain and recovery?
