I wish I did it 20 years ago!

I can’t believe it took me so long to do this. I am so happy and I’m only 11 days post op. I am getting better and better every day. If it were to stay like it is now I’d be happy. So I already know by 6 weeks I am never looking back. I will post some pics and prob just post each week instead of daily.
I have looked after myself. I think days 1-4 were amazing. I couldn’t believe I had no pain (kept up with meds religiously). Also drank ural and never felt any stinging. Days 5-7 were my worst and yet I was out having wines at a winery and no one knew. But it was uncomfortable to sit and move around. My left labia Majora was bruised and swollen so not sure what they do in the op. Mayve clamp them to hold them back? I don’t know. If anyone knows tell me. I’ve been searching and I don’t want to bother my surgeon. Day 11 now and I’m not taking any meds and I can finally touch it slightly to rub paw paw ointment on to keep everything soft. I kept up with baths x 2 most days. And I have definitely rested. Have told people I have a virus and just exhausted. Helps get me out of exercise / walks with friends without them knowing.
My advice. If you want it done. Get it done. Have 2 weeks aside to heal properly. This is a personal thing. It’s no one’s business.
Say you’re going on a yoga retreat for 2 weeks if you can’t avoid people and take 2 weeks off somewhere and use it as your holiday. Already I feel so much more confident.

I’ve had another look inside. Am freaked out. Looks like I have 3 minora’s. Trying to stay calm. But looks like my right is all sewn together. Stitches are black and weird.
Only 2 weeks out so know I have a long way to go. Posting updates pics but look at your own peril.
I feel fine. Still tender to touch but otherwise don’t feel anything.
Still keeping up with baths.
Thoughts?

So this looks gross. Lots of stitches still hanging around. I feel good. Been on 10 km walks and no pain. Still tender to touch and only pay dry. This photo isn’t glamorous but it shows the stitches. Some black! Starting to look like I’m evening out as have been fairly swollen. Only 2.5 weeks have passed. So I still have nearly 4 until I see real results. So far am happy. So much neater. And given I’m still in early days I’m not worried that this is looking like it is. Healing is the key. Feel so fine.
