Low libido after fibroid and ovary removal surgery?

They'll probably just put you on hormone replacement therapy.
In my case, because of a massive fibroid, they had to take out my uterus and both ovaries. They even had to remove part of my bowel.
I take red clover phytoestrogens now and my libido is actually great. Honestly, better than it was a few years ago.
The only thing is, my whole outlook on life shifted. I demand way more from my husband now—he needs to be more organized, more proactive, more attentive. I go out more, dress up more, hit the gym harder, spend more time on my laptop. I’m not just some housewife or maid anymore.
I get angry more often too. Just trying to overhaul my entire life.
That's just how it goes...
If you agree to the surgery, you probably won't be able to manage your weight. It's been a while and I haven't gained a single pound. I eat whatever, I just stay active and I've always been an athlete.
