  1. Hi there Emma and Monica I'm definitely not just looks, but I'm more brains. Luckily not the nerd, just smart enough to make a nerd wonder if I'm one of them or not. I would definitely recommend that for surgery you get enough sanitary pads for a month in advance, as you likely not to be moving around that much in that timeframe. After the second week are supposed to have control of your pain, bit if you are super sensitive to pain it might last longer. In the last 3 weeks I gained 2 pounds, but from my normal 145Lbs I moved down to 140Lbs. Discussed the weight loss with my endocrinologist yesterday at my visit to her after she wanted to see me directly after the operation, so had an appointment date for 3 weeks afterwards. She was dumbstruck that I started eating less, and I wrote it down to losing Testosterone. Afterwards she said, has to be, because a guy normally eats more then females and burns more calories so that can explain why I'm sticking to a healthy body weight with half the amount of food I normally consumed. Another thing that was good was that my Testosterone levels have dropped to almost zero after the operation. What she didn't expect me to do was drop the meds levels on my own. I informed her that I dropped it by a third and then took only a quarter of the other next level, and I gave my body a week chance to adjust to the new levels before starting on no Testosterone blocker for basically a week before taking the blood test, that should show if there is any form of Testosterone levels left in my body. We both happy with the levels. And in doing so, dropped the dose of my estrogen as well to a lowish level where I feel comfortable with the levels in my body. She commended me for thinking of the changes in a medical method, as not to shock my body from the start and suffering withdrawal symptoms. She finally gave me a new letter for the gender maker changes as per section 49 of 2003 Alteration of Sex Description and Sex Status Act. Yes South Africa has a whole act with a big mouth full to describe the act. So another letter and I'm set to go for the changes, after more then 5 years on HRT. Thanks with the congratulations as well ladies. And I'm certain to look after myself. Loving Hugs Michele. PS. Super excited that I can finally have my ID and drivers finally be changed to the female I represent.
