Try reading "50 Shades of Grey". Got my wife cranking. Lol

Read all 3 books in 2 weeks...lol

I'll take some too please! lol

How are you feeling about yourself physically?

Sometimes we are hard on how we look, yes, even after losing 127 pounds - sometimes that old fat girl comes back and plays tricks on your mind.

I would also talk to your doc about the hormones. There's a lot of changes the body is coping with since losing an entire person!

I wish you luck, sweetie.

I feel good! Besides having my gallbladder out in August and Pancriatitis 2 weeks ago...I'm ok. Yeah I am definitely going to talk to my doctor.

THanks

I don't know ... Sometimes I think I should like force myself but... I just don't care lol.. and don't want it. I don't know. And trust me.. I love my husband and am still 100% attracted to him... ugh..

so frustrating..

Without getting too personal, how was it before surgery?

Do you get blood work done regularly? I read about different Vitamin deficiencies leading to lower sex drive.

It was definitely better pre-op! GO FIGURe! Yes I do and nothing to speak of as of yet.

I am almost a year post op and my sex drive is....NILL! My husband is going crazy! You would think after losing 127 lbs I would want it every day! NOPe! I was hoping it would get better...but nothing. I have tried sprays under the tongue & some all natural supplements and still didn't help.

I don't know what to do.... Advice?? Anyone else have this problem??

Thanks so much for putting me in the spotlight this month!! I am honored!!! And proud of course!!

Ya everyones recovery is way different. For me I was discharged with a script for pain meds and nausea' date=' picked them up, and never once used them. My incisions havent hurt at all (they used the new fancy glue to put me back together). The only real pain I have had was a little discomfort from my hiatal hernia they repaired. Right now, Im a week out and really trying to figure out why they say for me to take a month off work. I was ready after I got sent home from hospital. I havent had any problems with food or Water or anything going down. Matter of fact, I hope they tell me that I can move to next stage today at appt.

Take your meds and walk walk walk. It might hurt but it will work it out[/quote']

I have had the exact same experience! Not one problem with any food or anything! Im 7 months post op and have lost 103lbs! I also had a hiatal hernia they repaired.

Good luck & stay positive! Nerves are normal! You got this!

I am 7 months post op and have NEVER had that problem nor have I met anyone that has had that however everyone & and their progress & recovery is different! Stay positive and know you can do this!

Listen to the guidelines your surgeon gives you post op!

Good luck!

Don't be worried! Everyones progress & recovery is different! Don't compare yourself to anyone else. Rest, take your pain meds, and make sure your staying hydrated. And of course, when in doubt call your surgeon!

Stay positive! You can do this!

Trust me... the Hair loss part sucks!!! I feel like 5 weeks is early but everyone is different. Are you dropping weight fast?

I lost A LOT of hair between 3 & 5 months post op. Luckily it stopped and has been growing back. I would be in tears in the shower! I also got Bosley hair restoration treatments which is Shampoo conditioner and a treatment which helped also.

How much Biotin are you taking? I take 10,000mcg a day.

It is completely common and just know it will stop and grow back!

Hang in there!! It will get better I promise!

Good Luck! You will do great! It was THE best decision I have ever made... just wish I would have done it sooner! The first couple days are the worst but everyday is better! I didnt have to take any pain meds when I got home from the hospital. I was not in any pain.. just felt like I did 10000 too many crunches! Stay positive and remember... its normal to be nervous ! Good luck and keep me posted!

I can't believe I'm 4 weeks post op today.. I really can't believe how fast the time has gone! Anyways I feel wonderful!! No problems at all! And the best part? I'm down 30lbs so far!! Hope everyone is doing good as well!!! ????????????

You will do great!!! Good luck!!!

Don't be concerned. Everyone is different. I'm feeling great today but hungry! Can't wait til Monday so I can start puréed foods. Def hungry tonight ... Having my beef broth as my family has steaks lol

Okay thank you everyone!! So good to be posting in the POST op section!! ????????????

So I had my surgery on Monday and I'm not in any pain besides being sore. However, I am SUPER tired and wiped out all day. I'm getting in all my liquids and Protein. Anyone have any advice??

Thank you!! It's def better than it was thank god! Hope your feeling well!

I was sleeved today around noon as well. I'm lying in my hospital bed and can't sleep. The gas pain is what is killing me tho. They also found I had a hiatal hernia so she had to repair that. No nausea yet so far thank god although a little heartburn type feeling. But I think it was from the lemon glycerin swabs they were giving me for dry mouth. So I stopped those. Leak test is at 8:30am and looking forward to some water! ESP looking forward for all these wires too come off so I can put on my own clothes and walk around more.

Today is my surgery too! 11:40am! Have to be there at 9:40am! Wish everyone lots of luck and prayers!!! Xoxoxo we are gonna do great!!!!

Today is the day for me too.. Ahh! Good luck to you!!! Have to be there at 9:30 surgery at 11:40 am

Surgery is this Monday!! Dec 10th ! Sooo excited and nervous at the same time!!!!! Good luck to all!!

Just got my surgery date today! Dec 10th too!!! Started pre op diet today!!!! SO excited and nervous at the same time!!! Good luck!!!

My surgery date is December 17 and I am worried about how I am going to feel for Christmas. I have 2 little kids and I normally have our families here on Christmas Day. I'm not so worried about eating but I am just worried that I'm not going to have any energy or feel yucky in general. I told my husband I will still have it here but we will either have it catered or have everyone bring 2 dishes.

Can anyone that is sleeved already give me some incite on how they felt a week after surgery?

Thanks!
