I second this. Hormones really mess with you. If you're taking testosterone, that can affect your mood and mindset - I had a steroid shot which is similar but not the same after surgery once and it really affected my mind! Never mind being pregnant- Lots of hormones at play then. HCG, progesterone, estrogen- its a cocktail that influences our brains for sure. So the combo of surgery and healing should be thought about. Rest when you can. You had major surgery! Plus, the trauma of surgery on your body must be considered. It's not been that long. When I had my breast reduction, it took 4 months for me not to be swollen anymore and the scars fade, but at the beginning they were quite prominent and red. I think you should give it more time, unless you have redness and fever and discharge in which case you should probably see the doctor who did your surgery to rule out infection. Are you restricted on lifting things? I was only allowed to carry 8 pounds or less after my reduction.
