One thing they don’t tell you about top surgery:
You’re gonna have a hormone crash, and it’s gonna be weird, and for the first couple days you’re gonna feel weird and bad emotionally and maybe feel like you made a mistake.
Yeah, that’s actually normal. Your breasts produce hormones and trigger hormone production elsewhere, and removing them induces something like a mild form of postpartum depression.
IT WILL PASS.
For the first few days I couldn’t even glance at my chest without feeling horrible, like I’d done something egregious. A few days later and I’m fine and thrilled, just as I thought I would be. The hormone crash is real, it’s okay, and don’t freak out about it too much. It will pass. You’ve done the right thing and you know it.
Hormones are just weird and evil.

Honestly this is good to know
It’s actually not even just about breast tissue and hormones! I looked up post-surgery depression after mine and turns out it’s very common for anyone having ANY kind of surgery. It’s your brain freaking out and trying to process what happened. Give yourself time and be nice to yourself, this is totally normal and it will pass, I’d say after the first ~2 weeks.
Also, tip: I HIGHLY recommend touching your chest as much as possible, to adjust to the physical sensation difference. At first, just gently place your hands over your chest, don’t even move them. As you recover you can add more pressure, then start moving your hands over your chest, and eventually massaging etc.
As funny as it was to walk around the house holding my tiddies it actually really helped me process the physical difference.
