Ladies, did you feel any different after you had a hysterectomy?

just a hysterectomy, NOT ovaries removed also. I had one done two weeks ago, and except for the surgical pain, I honestly don’t feel any different physically or emotionally than I did before the surgery. (But I am glad that it’s over.)
I just felt FREE!!!
I’ve read that some women mourn the loss of their symbol of femininity (and/or fertility) even if they’re past the age of reproduction or are not planning on having any more children.
But not all women experience this “loss” as profoundly…and some — like yourself — may not experience it at all.
I’m looking forward to my hysterectomy. After YEARS of misery it’ll be a relief to finally be done with it!
Join the uterus free club!!! I still have my ovaries, got my uterus removed about 3 years ago. I actually feel SO MUCH better. My emotions have calmed down extremely (even though I still have ovaries) Once you give your body some more time to heal you will feel better. I got a few sad moments, when I realized for sure that I could have no more babies ( I was 29 when I got it done) Even though we made the decision a long time before that we were done with kids, it was the fact that the option was taken away from me totally. It only gets me once in awhile though. It is funny cuz I still get cravings for some foods and still get a little testy(not like I was before though) When I should have my normal cycle. Unfortunately I need to go back in and they need to take my ovaries. The doc first thought I could leave them, but it isn’t happening. What the the reason for yours BTW?
I used to have anemic symptoms but not anymore after the hysterectomy and I’m glad that I don’t need to deal with the period and the cramping pain each month. I can swim whenever I want to and just pack and go any trip freely. Also, no more calculating the time of ovulation before sex. I already have two kids and I think that’s it for me.
When other women still in statistic of uterine cancer…blah blah blah. I’m not part of the norm. Ha ha…
