Well it was a year ago today that I got my balls and sack cut off.... Glad I did, as I don't miss them.

Figured the best way to celebrate the day was to eat only things that were at least sort of ball shaped at all my meals today...

Menu so far...

Meatballs.

Bush's Griller Beans (baked beans)

Jalapeno stuffed Olives

Stuffed cherry peppers (prosciutto & cheese)

Black Seedless Grapes

Lindt chocolates (70% Cocoa)

More seriously - changes I've noticed, most of which actually happened after I had the chemical castration and went on estrogen, well before the surgery....

Scalp hair - about the same... I got some fill in of bald spots but not enough to really notice

Eyebrows - seem bushier, at least I'm finding I frequently need to trim them to keep them out of my eyelids, and never used to need to do that...

Mustache - About the same, but I used to have to trim it once or twice a month to keep it out of my mouth, now every few months so it's growing a lot slower.

Beard - Slowly getting shorter - I suspect because I'm always having some hairs pull out and they are growing back slower, so average length is less.

Arms / strength - I have definitely lost some, how much is from the castration vs. trying to reduce the load on my shoulders (I'm having considerable shoulder problems, mostly because of all the extra load that goes with being in a wheelchair)

Body hair - about the same, possibly a little finer but about the same amount - but it takes a lot longer to grow back if I take any off for some reason.

Definitely much bigger, but have been about the same size for the last year or so. When I first started on E, my nipples / breast buds were very tender and painfully sensitive to any pressure, this has largely gone away and I'm now only slightly more sensitive than I was originally. My nipples are only slightly larger, but they tend to be erect all the time...

I've probably put on some weight - hard to tell since the docs don't believe in having the equipment to weigh wheelchair users and it isn't practical to get it at home... However my clothes all pretty much fit the same (except that I recently switched to using female underwear)

Happy anniversary to you!for sharing, too. Sounds like a great meal.

Congratulations on the anniversary of such an important event for you! :balsmilie

Congratulations! Have a big steaming bowl of matzoh ball soup on me

I also wanted to thank you for all of your contributions to my posts here. You’ve been very helpful and encouraging.

Cheers.

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your experiences. Good luck to you.

Thanks... In retrospect the olives were a bit of a mistake, as the combo of olive and hot pepper is not a great one IMHO (though someone must like them or they wouldn't be on the shelves in the store...) Everything else was great...
