Congrats all around!
Yes, it is important to go slow during your early post-op. Heed your surgeon's and doctor's experienced advice.
Explore at your leisure, er pleasure, er both.
Keep current with your dilation schedule. Keep every bit of it active right to depth. You might have found quite a Big 'O' at depth.
Take deep breaths and relax.
Find your best position.
Practise your muscles. Some will be loose, some moderate, some tight. Learn to flow in and flow out and tense and release. Wow!!!
Practise sensing your feelings. You may have sensations right from the opening all the way to your depth. Focus on them. Wow!!!
Some friends report using a vibrator touching your appliance. Others rotate. Others move in and out.
Explore what works for you.
Use what amount of lube works best for you. No need to dribble with too much, no need to hurt with too little.
You will know the difference between pleasure, exploratory 'pain', and actual harmfull pain. Keep your medical team advised of everything - good, bad, indifferent - it will be for your benefit and for your sisters who follow you.
What is within your comfort zone? Find a mentor. You be a mentor. This is what cis-females do when they start at their slumber parties.
Different clinics use different appliances; allow me to describe in the Chettawut Clinic - #0 is smallest, #5 is largest. By your sixth month, #0 should be way easy and #4 may still be tight. By your first anniversary, they should all be doing well, By your second anniversary your 'duty' should be down to maintenance once or twice each week.
Sadly, some report that they perceive their 'duty' as an imposition and allow themselves to lose their gains. Keep yourself occupied with ideas and make it a pleasure that it really is.
If you quit and you want to get it back, then resume from your smallest device and work your way back according to your surgeon's original schedule. It is possible to restore your anatomy unless too many years have elapsed. Maybe reading this thread will encourage those to re-start who dropt out for a few years or more.
Sometimes you'll just be going about your own activities and then it will hit - that feeling down there. Wowee!! But this time it is your secret that no one else knows because there is no evidence of it to the outside world but your nice big smile and glow.
Surgery for we old folks was far different than available today. If your original surgery was more than a few years ago, then enquire of your favourite surgeon whether revision is good for you. You may be quite enthused with an up-grade to today's standard.
Yes, you paid good money for your correct equipment. It is all yours. Make the most of your investment.
