Why do women have anal sex?
czarina replied to Oregondaisy's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
ok so i know this couple who strictly do it anally.. she is about the double penetration... likes somethin in the butt and in her triangle.. hehe. they talk about it all the time and are soo crazy about it.. as for me.. i have dipped in that pool a few times wit different guys and all i can say is the only time i liked it was wen i was drunk... and besides i would rather have my man and his toungue doing "other" things with his time.. :redface: as of the size thing.... u can never tell how big a guys junk is by looki8ng at the person. i have been wit a skinny white boy that surprised the hell out of me.. and then i was with this black guy who was :confused:.. but to me size really doesnt matter its the motion of the ocean. some guys are big for nothing and those average men put them to shame... n e ways hope that wasnt tmi for everyone.. i really held back a lot of details tryin to keep it from going to far... hehe.. by the way this is the most entertaining thread i have ran across yet!!:ohmy: -
Oh yeah -In and Out burgers are GREAT -- and they have them all over the place here in LV - including one less than 2 miles from the house ... only thing with In & Out (TMI here) is that they give me (and Bearded too) HORRIBLE gas ... not sure if it's the burger or the fries ... haven't eaten there since surgery.

to those of you who had gall bladder surgery
carolyn24seven replied to Oregondaisy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My gall bladder recovery was very painful for me also. I was on RX pain meds for two weeks. Then Tylenol for another 2. I had a slow recovery. Much slower than VSG. I think the reason was: my gall bladder was emergency surgery, due to gall stone stuck in the duct and infected. I was on antibiotics for a 21 day treatment. I was constipated from the antibiotics. Eat greek yogurt. Benefiber. Other food I was told to eat: salad with Low fat dressings, bran muffins and stewed prunes. (OK TMI warning here) When the antibiotics stopped, wow, did I find out in a hurry that I did not need the prunes anymore! What a swinging pendulum ride that whole deal was. And painful to boot. Took me about 2 months to get back to "normal". Hang in there, this will pass. pun intended, LOl -
I am pre-op, but was finding that the foods I've been eating are just not making me feel well. I've always suspected that I may have an intolerance to wheat, but not sure about anything else. So, I went on an 'exclusion diet' and removed all dairy, gluten (wheat, rye, barley, and oats), eggs, citrus, alcohol, and caffeine from my diet for two weeks. I chose these because after much reading on the internet, these seem to be the most common food intolerances. There are more complex exclusion diets, but this was hard enough to follow as it is. Luckily, I have a friend who has celiac disease (allergy to gluten) so she was able to help me understand what foods are gluten free and which ones aren't. Anyway, after the two weeks of excluding this all from my diet, then I introduced one at a time (not faster than one every three days). So far what I've found is I have intolerance to onion (goes right through me - horrible cramps and diarrhea). Even though this wasn't something I had purposely excluded, it just so happened that I didn't have much onion in anything until the 10th day in. I had been feeling great, then bam, the onions made me feel awful. I didn't quite see the connection at first, but then it happened again the next time I prepared something w/a lot of onion. The next thing I identified as a problem is dairy, but I seem to have a threshold w/it. A little dairy is fine. If I have more than a normal serving or multiple dairy items in one meal, I feel sick to my stomach, and get diarrhea again. Sorry, if TMI. Finally, I just reintroduced wheat products today and haven't had any GI symptoms, but VERY noticeable lethargy/tiredness after eating. And, I didn't eat a lot of wheat. I had popcorn chicken (that has breading on it) and a cookie. Then, took a 2 hour nap. Interestingly, prior to the exclusion diet, I was feeling exhausted every afternoon and most days needed a nap. Since the exclusion of wheat, I had not needed naps anymore.

to those of you who had gall bladder surgery
cajun replied to Oregondaisy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Caution...TMI for some... It was more painful that VSG surgery for me too. I had mine about 10 years ago, and it was a lap surgery...but I do remember walking bent over, and being sore for a couple of weeks after the cholycystectomy. I also had diarrhea when I ate any fats, for quite some time after the choly. Over the years, I have noticed it less often as time went on, unless I really overindulged. Now since I have had my VSG, I have NOT had ANY of the diarrhea after eating fats, like I had before the surgery. In fact I tend to be constipated, maybe because of the other dietary changes (hi Protein, little carbs/veggies/fruits). Once I am past 6 months post-vsg, and am eating more veggies and fruits, maybe my bowel habits will change again. I don't like this constipation one bit. Am getting hemorrhoids. Even with taking miralax and keeping my stools soft. -
What's the Proper Dosage for Miralax?
Itstime replied to AJW's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
AJW, I am on the pre-op diet and doing the protein drinks/shakes and it was like cement for me. So I bought Miralax and took 2 doses and didn't really notice a difference! Kept waiting. I read the same warning to not take more than 1 week and don't think that will be an issue with me. My husband got some Colon Cleanz herbal formula from GNC which also says not to use more than 7 days but that DID work. Just read the cautions. I have always been regular and this protein stops me up. I hope not to have this issue all the time or I will need to wear a panty liner for all the Proctosol I am slathering on. TMI -
November 09 Knockouts! Check in here POST surgery! :)
flychica replied to PrincipalsOffice's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thanks, well last night I decided after having lots of stomach grumbling to move onto Protein shakes. So I had my first last night and it was soooooooo good, just w/ the low-fat milk and its chocolate flavor. It was good. Hahaha. This morning I'm having my Carnation Instant Breakfast for breakfast and will work on my protein shakes for the other meals. Worse part is the antibiotics have gotten to me so now I have to get some monistat since its caused me to have a yeast infection. (sorry if TMI) Other than that, I'm doing okay...my incisions are really itchy which must mean their healing well. -
Tiffy, I think the chatter has slowed down too, maybe the holidays? Or maybe all the senior sleevers have been so thorough and covered most of it? I still love hearing you guys get on a TMI subject, gives me a chuckle. I am thankful for all the help and concern that you all share with us newbys and especially covering some subjects that you don't know how to ask.... Happy Thanksgiving all!

Pam- I need as much TMI at this point. my port is on my left side. so are you saying sleep on my right?
-
Maria - tooting won't hurt anything - but it will help you feel better as far as the gas goes - try laying on your left side (put a pillow under your tummy as your port is on that side) it should help you toot. Sorry if tmi. I barely got the ping pong table into the garage before the rain hit - it was sprinkling already - could be because I went back to sleep after I dropped my boys at school at 7:30 and didn't get dressed until 11 - but hey it's my day off. I had 1/3 c baked beans for breakfast, 6 cold shrimp for lunch and about 1/2 c fresh sweet potato. The Point West Kaiser is across the street from Cal Expo - I don't know the exact address.

Hi my dear friends, I am doing well! I will admit the first 30 hours after surgery were hard. I felt much better once I was able to take oral pain meds. I got home last night from the hospital, took a pain pill, and passed out. It's amazing what a day does make. I felt 95% better today, and it's only going to get better from here. I love my "sippie" cups, baby spoons and bowls. (TMI section) Also, I need to watch out for any lower gas. I can't trust any! Thank goodness for "always with wings". They are lining the rear of all my undies. I'm not weighing myself, since I was pumped full of fluids. However, I did loose 10 pounds during the pre-op. I was pretty happy with that! Well, it's time to start walking around the house again. My family is on a mission to make sure I get my 10 minutes an hour in! Thanks all for your thoughts, prayers and concerns. I will update more tomorrow. Hugs, JoAnne

Phyl - I know you aren't a prude - but I agree - I hate hearing GD this that - F this that - yes both of those words to escape my mouth every now and the - Well realluy the GD I TRULY try not to say it - but if I drop a can on my toe it may pop out - but as soon as it does I say Sorry - the F word will come out more often when I am pissed about something - if I find I am saying it a lot -- I realize that I am angry about something - Shit is most likely my fav word :0) And all those sexual induentos - no thanks especially in mixed company - once or twice it might be funny but after that it's crude and rude.. Was it that neighbor Earl & I met last weekend in the brown rv - he had white hair and southern accent... With the limited space that you have it's hard not to be a little cluttered - but I don't think it looks that awful - your RV looks like you live in it - it's clean Oh Karla - GF you got me on the white choc - it's my new fav thing - well the last couple of years I love it.. The black white short breads - I love shortbreads and a glass of cold milk to dip them in ... I perfer soft cookies - ok lets get off this subject I am getting hunger Scales down to 141 this a.m. but woke up last night with tmi - so who knows if that's a good figure - but I will take it haven't seen than # in a while - goal back to 138 by 2010 Well gotta get some stuff done cbl -
I thought DH = darling husband; guess it doesn't matter, darling, dear, as long as it's nice .... When I asked Dr. Aceves about having sex (while I was in the hospital) - he said "Not here, please" (and then turned very red) ... lol ... he said as long as it didn't hurt, it was okay anytime I felt like it. I will tell you this (if not wanting TMI - stop reading) -- now that I have lost about 52 lbs and Bearded has lost 49 or so, it sure feels different - and is even better than it was before!

I asked my Dr. at my 2 week post-op and he said "whenever you feel ready". I think on my discharge paperwork it said not to for 8 weeks so hubby was glad to hear that! As far as DH? I'm still not sure?!?!?! I think it's Darling? Husband? I dunno! TMI alert, I warn you, it seems much harder to "get there" for a good month or so after the surgery. At least that was my experience. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem?

Mark me down as another self-pay. In Oct. of last year, I had been laid off from my job. Thankfully even though the economy was in the toilet, I was able to find another job with the same week. Since I now had access to my 401(k) money, I went for it. Went to seminar end of Oct. and had surgery 12/16/08. So yes, I went through holiday sore as all get out and not able to eat anything more than Soup. I am also the one that usually hosts Christmas Eve (for about 25, I have a big Italian family), however, not last year. Did it suck getting through holidays? Yes. However, by the time New Year's rolled around, I was feeling back to my normal self. Head's up on things I wish I knew. I think someone posted that they didn't need to diet before the surgery. Not safe and here's why. If you haven't reduced your carbs to where you are losing weight (doesn't have to be much - only a pound or two), your liver will have the consistency of Jello and it's very easy to tear when they lift to get at your stomach. That's why you see so many people post that their doctors have them start atkins just before their surgery. After Surgery: TMI but head's up because nobody warned me. I didn't get the gas pains after surgery but nobody told me you won't be able to er, um, crapulate for about a week or so. Being pretty regular, that did freak me out a little. :thumbup: Also, I went through MONTHS of bandster hell. It took no less than 5 fills before I started feeling any restriction at all (my fills were every three weeks). So for the first four months, I didn't lose anything. Then in April, I started not only feeling restriction, but I started working out (Zumba) 3x a week. Since April, I've dropped 60lbs and have 20lbs to go. If you have any other questions, let me know.

How soon did you have sex post-op?
Janiece replied to k-statearmywife's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think we made it 4 days. I put pillows under my hips to make it a better angle so he wouldn't lean over me and rub on my port. :redface: sorry if TMI . -

Ready4-a-new-me replied to Ready4-a-new-me's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thanks every1 for your support. Im doing well. Just gas pains omg. But today is day 4 and im down 12 pounds. Im soo excited. Im not even really hungry. It takes like 30 mins for me to eat a jello. I need to get more calories in though. In my opinion at least. I didn't have a bowel movement until today.(tmi) im sorry! I was getting a lil scared. But I drank a lil apple juice and I think it helped. Im so happy. -
I take a GNC Solotron chewable multi-Vitamin twice daily. These are by far the best multi-vitamin I have been able to find for my needs. Plus, they taste yummy, and I don't have to swallow a horse pill. They contain bioavailable Iron which is a necessity for me since I still have all my reproductive organs, and have menstrual cycles. Sorry if that's TMI. Anyways, I take 2 of the multi-Vitamins daily (morning and evening), and I take 1 sublingual 2500 mcg B12.

Omg i am so livid right now i got a call from Angelina the patient coordinator today at 3pm to tell me that my labs are incomplete. Ironically i need a pregnancy test that was not done. Coincidence im on my period and my hubby has had a vasectomy i know TMI. So I rushed on over to Labcorp to have that done and they are going to fax over the results today since theyre doing it stat.I still cant help to fell really upset about this. I even called them earlier this week to make sure everything was ok and didnt hear back from them. Hope they get these results on time.
