I am not post menopause but I am 41 and never had kids. The surgery has played heck with my cycle. I am now going about every 23-25 days which never happened before. I also started RIGHT after surgery and it was the worst one of my life. It went on forever. (Sorry if TMI) My GYN said that yes, we do release a lot of estrogen when we lose weight. You become super fertile and your periods can go wacko (I was also wacko for a while from the hormones). She said it affects everyone differently. While I can't speak to post-menopause, it seems that your situation may not be so strange based on what she told me. I would call your Dr and maybe reach out to your old GYN if you can.

Not sure where I should have put this but it is going in this forum. I had my gallbladder out in 2000 and every since then anytime I eat greasy food or food with dairy it causes stomach issues and TMI I end up in the restroom. What do you do for this problem after you get the band if it continues to be a problem...I know that I won't have to worry about greasy foods but dairy is a concern to me....Can I take the lactose pills that come over the counter or will this problem go away.

August post op sleevers: Check in
Karen Scott replied to motherof5's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
the slime I think is wen you over eat and u feel like ur about to bust open and u throw up (vomit-tmi) it's more of a slippery or slimy liquid that comes off your stomach. Well for me that's wat I have experienced anyway. Any losers out there thinks it something else pl Enlightened me too. Later losers, enjoy losing. -
I have had this problem most of my life. I have tried ALL of the stuff suggested and nothing. My MIL gave me a product that is what I consider a miracle. It's called Dual-Action Cleanse and you have to order it online or call them. (www.DualActionCleanse.com or call 1-800-941-0163) I DO NOT SELL THIS PRODUCT OR HAVE ANY REASON TO SOLICITE FOR THIS PRODUCT. I put that in caps because I don't want anyone thinking I have any reason to tell you about this but helping. Most laxatives & stuff like Activia give me horrible gas. :thumbup: I've been gasy after banding anyway and don't need the pain or help. You take this everyday for a month and then a month off. (take everyother month) I just started so I don't know quite what to expect next month. My MIL swears by it and it works so good I can't believe it. I mean 95% of days I have a healthy BM. Sorry if this is TMI.:crying: I plan on continuing with this because I have NEVER had these results. I hope this helps someone else.

Banded 4.23.12
neversatisfied replied to gwenlyn089's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i was banded on 4/23 also. I only experience the tightness when i gulp instead of sip. I havent experienced any hunger yet. I have been nibbling on jello all day and i have 2 ounces of broth periodically. I stopped taking the pain meds days ago, it appears im allergic to them. i got hives all on my abdomen. Im only taking liquid tylenol now. I was only nauseated on day one. maybe this is TMI but i havent had a bowel movement since ive been home. that worries me -
I went to Wal-Mart today and found the coconut water PROTEIN 2o drinks. While they are delicious, I've noticed that there is a weird. . . slimy texture in my mouth afterwards? TMI (and a little gross) its almost like a loogie. Anyone else experience this?

Krystal0528 replied to lylabelle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey everyone. All is well on my end, an I'm excited to be on this journey with you all. I was sleeved May 28th an I'm down 23 lbs from day of surgery. I was loosing then I grained 3 lbs back but I think because it's my TOM (I no TMI) Also my 2 week follow up is in the morning so I will post how that goes tomorrow. Hopefully he will clear me to be able to work out am do more than walk. My arms are jiggly an want to stop that before it gets bad! Good night everyone;) -
Anyone else have (sorry for tmi) very loose stool almost like diarrhea? Surgery was Monday 3/11 and I’ve had it since yesterday. Will call Dr tomorrow. Also has anyone weighed themselves? I figured since I’ve had nothing but liquids and they’re going through me I’d have lost something. Well folks I am 6 pounds UP. I’m not discouraged yet as I am still swollen. But it was a bit of a kick in the shorts.

female only No Sex Drive/Desire after Sleeve 9 months Post Op
Cutepretty1 posted a topic in The Gals' Room
Hi, I apologize in advance if this is TMI. I had my sleeve done December 2105. Prior to my sleeve I wanted to have sex anytime, anywhere, etc. Since my surgery I have not had the desire. I am dry and it takes a while to have an orgasm sometimes I do not reach climax. I have seen topics on the board in which other women are having this issue but not seen where anyone indicates there was resolution. This post is meant for women in which their libido has decreased and has not returned. No offense it is not intended for women in which "oh my sex drive is through the roof since surgery". Congrats to you but I am wanting advice on how to proceed. It's been almost 9 months and I am not feeling sex. I have an appointment with my gyno this week but I have a hubby I need to tend too. -
Great topic! We recycle everything our county takes, compost our produce trimmings, and instead of driving himself 80 miles to work, my husband bikes 15 min to the bus station, takes the bus to the ferry, then walks from the ferry to his job. I drive the kids around in our 45mpg civic hybrid. For cleaning, instead of paper towels or sponges (I'm a microbiologist and I hate sponges!!!) we use cleaning cloths that we can wash. Same for mops - cloth covers on a flat surface mop. I got both from The Clean Team. - Efficient Housecleaning and Environmentally Friendly Cleaners, but some types of fabric rags would work well, I imagine. After using cloth diapers on my children, at the risk of TMI, I switched to cloth menstrual pads. They're much more comfortable than the paper ones. We're building a house and using as many energy saving techniques and technologies as we can afford. We wanted to use a geothermal heat pump, but they're too expensive at this point, so we're using an air source heat pump instead. The house has many passive solar features. All the lighting will be CFL or LED. The flooring will be sustainably harvested bamboo and cork. The fridge, washer, and dishwasher will be energy star certified, and we'll have an energy-saving induction cooktop. There's a root cellar for passive cooling so we can store more of the veggies we hope to grow in a year or two. Another thing we've done that has been really worthwhile for our family is joining a CSA - community supported agriculture - a share farm. We pay for a share of produce from a small local farm, giving the farmer the surety of a paid crop and giving us lots of organic produce and eggs for half the year. We buy natural meat and some fish from local people plus we're lucky that my parents have a small non-commercial oyster farm and also catch dungeoness crab and are willing to share. We belong to a food co-op to reduce the overhead on other grocery items. We found freecycle.org before we moved from MD to WA and it was fun meeting people who could use the things we found to be surplus for our new lives. We enjoy finding new ways to save energy, reduce/reuse/recycle, and buy locally, and we're always looking for new ideas, so I'm avidly reading this thread!

I think I almost died! Or it felt that way, anyway :(
Marla290 replied to Marla290's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks! TMI but mine wasn't just slime, I actually had to gag like almost throwing up, so that would be hard to hide in public...I hope it never happens again to ANY of us! -
I need to talk about constipation post op
Sweettoothless replied to Gottajustdoit's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Also this is totally tmi but if you get really really backed up you can use a glycerin suppository and it will melt some of that big giant hard poo that is stuck. Then you can use another one and it will melt off some more. Eventually the cannonball sized hard poo will get melted down to golf ball size. I had the worst experience pooing the week after because I was poorly prepared and poorly researched and too embarassed to ask anyone. -
Hey Amy! :hurray: And hiyas my fellow double V's! I'm here and still swimming! Doing good, losing slowly, but's it's all good as long as the scale is moving in the right direction. I haven't had as much time for the computer lately, been crazy busy at home with projects around the house and in the yard. Amy, you've lost the same amount of weight as me! :Dancing_wub: Sadly a size 16 is still a dream for me, 214 pounds on a 5' 2" body is still too much for that, but I'm working on it, and feeling great with my progress! My second fill has given me some restriction - I swallowed a piece of fish that wasn't chewed enough, and oh boy, I felt the bandster initiation! :tt1: It didn't come back up, but it did get stuck for about a minute, and I was really surprised at how much "slime"/saliva you can make in that one minute, LOL! Bleh. I hope this is not TMI, just the truth of bandster life. Since then I've reeeeally slowed down my chewing and have been really paying attention to bite sizes and such. I know, I should have been doing that all along, but one forgets every now and again, yanno? :hurray: I am still hungry a lot, so I'm not sure what I'm gonna tell my doc at my next fill visit (May 28th), whether to push for just a small fill or leave it, since something got stuck. I really would like to be less hungry, but I don't want to be super-tight either. It seems the sweet-spot is very close! Ok sorry to ramble on here . . . I do hope all of my fellow Victorious Valentines are doing well . . . please keep in touch, and just keep swimming! (or walking, running, biking, etc., etc. :Dancing_wub:). *Warm HUGS!*

OUTPATIENT vsg anyone?
jennifer6791 replied to jennifer6791's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
no, not tmi- thanks, Cathi- that will help alot- I WILL TAKE THAT NAUSEA PRESCRIPTION! LOL... really; thanks alot! Hi there, I had my surgery at the same place, with Dr. Billings!! I am 3 weeks post-op today. The staff there are wonderful. I was worried about going home the same day, and truthfully, I wish I had been able to stay overnight as I got very sick the day I went home. However...did they give you a prescription for nausea, one pill to take at 3:00 a.m. the morning before surgery? If so, TAKE IT. I was told by a nurse during my pre-op appt. that it was optional, and since my insurance charged a higher co-pay for just the one pill, I didn't get it. Dr. Billings was not happy that I had been told that, because he said it is not optional, that I would really need it for nausea. They gave me extra nausea meds. in my IV the morning of the procedure, but it didn't help. I vomited all afternoon after I got home, and all night long. The next morning, I was very dehydrated and needed several bags of fluids. They kept me most of the day to make sure I was okay, giving me nausea & pain meds. thru the IV. They said everyone is different, but if I'd had that nausea pill, I probably wouldn't have been so sick. The liquid percocet they give you manages the pain well, as well as the valium. Take them both religiously the first few days to stay comfortable. Other people I have talked to weren't near so sick, so I don't want to freak you out or worry you. I hesitated sharing my experience since it was kind of rough the first few days. But also want to assure you that they will take good care of you, and they are only a phone call away. I had a one week post-op appt. and I was doing fine. They gave me pictures of the surgery and the piece of stomach they took out! When are you scheduled? I wish you the best!! You'll do great, I'm sure! Cathi so, i keep reading about how people spend 2 or 3 days in the hospital- if you had laprascopic vsg outpatient surgery, please chime in! i have to go in the next morning for fluids, and there is a hospital very close by if there are complications, which i'm not worried about- guess i'm more worried about pain management... no nurse at my beck and call...would appreciate your experience! -
losingjusme goes for plastics
losingjusme replied to losingjusme's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
DH is simply amazing. he likes the fact that i am losing the weight for me, but it does benefit him too ... he does not know about the mons lift, its not something you just bring up, ya know? we both know that i reallyyyyyy need it (tmi, sorry, but can you say scrotum? :speechles) he is very proud of me and just wants me to be happy.... i think i will be more proportioned after the procedure... i have a 40 bust, 38 waist and 52.75 hips ... that's just so wrong. and yes, i am big boned, but the bones arent that big... -
2/9 Surgery Date Team
It's Time replied to Positive44's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yes, I urinate less and it's not as clear as before. It was like Water but now it's resembling urine ???? (I know tmi) LOL I had a BM yesterday and it was scary but so necessary. I haven't taken anything to force one, it came on its on. My doctor did say if we didn't have one for a bit not to be concerned as there is not much to come out at this stage. -
I see so many people for 4/23 including myself.. Anyone else feel like this is so surreal? I sometimes have to remind myself of my decision to do this. I am on my 2 week diet and my dr's office does it strict protein shake for 2 weeks, with other liquids but no food. I haven't been handling this so good, and cheated twice with just another protein (eggs, and piece of cheese). I got my period (i know TMI) and I think that is making it worse for me, the headaches are sooo bad, and I'm so moody. Let's keep this thread going so we can all follow each other's progress. Also I understand that if I"m struggling now, how will I handle after surgery questions.. But my logic is after surgery I won't be physically hungry. I mean I'm starving. Good luck to us all!!!

January 2011 Banders
rumor75 replied to blueshell23's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey there, I was just banded on Jan 3rd in Richmond, Va at MCV with Dr. Kellum.... {Dr. Kellum and his entire staff were phenomenomal!!!} Everything went great, went home the next day...a little sore, but managable until Friday afternoon (Jan 7)...holy smokes, I thought that I had reached a new level of constipation (I know I know TMI), but I was doubled over with pain until I couldn't take it anymore, went to the ER....had an exam....(embarrasing) and after it was all said and done GAS!!! I've never beeen in so much agony with gas.....Doc gave me some over the counter product, I sipped on it for about 40 minutes...and I now I am all good. It has been a week.....today. I have a hard time eating/rather drinking....just don't have an appetite.....I am drinking these horrid Protein shakes, I actually became over the Protein shake during the 2 week pre op liquid diet. I started at 291 and was 278 when I got banded. Now, I'm 273. I feel good.....I actually don't feel as though I have a band at all.... I had a perception that directly after surgery that I was going to have some issues with drinking....I suppose that is going to come after my first band fill...I'm doing the sipping, but have no trouble just drinking....is that normal....oh well...this is my first time...I'm stoked about my journey and look forward to meeting others that are on a similar path!!! -
TMI but I need to know if this is something I should be worried about.
Mango replied to GonnaLoseIt's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Here's another TMI question. Surgery was Wednesday. Today is Sunday. I haven't pooped yet. I haven't eaten so that makes sense but I need someone else to chime in. -
Do you eat a lot of sweets or maybe something like coffee that is causing this? Everytime I have caramel macchiato my urine smells like caramel lol I know tmi!!

Let's talk about POOP...FLOATERS OR SINKERS
Brandy~ replied to health4life's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
You cannot be serious lol... After reading the last 2 pages (I can't believe I admit to that) I don't think that there is any possible way that there could be a response that is TMI. -
I just wanna say if you think your beautiful you are beautiful. I love myself I think Im super sexy at 286 pounds I just had cancer my bra size is 38G and I had to get a radical mastectomy so basically im missing one boob and bald. I have sex with my husband 3 times a week he thinks Im super sexy. People tell me Im lucky to have him I say its not luck when I was dating 17 years ago I knew I wanted someone who would love me for me me. Most guys at that time loved me for my body I was 140 then. When I met my husband we fell in love immediately I didnt compromise my standards. Moral of the story love yourself I love my body and every dimple so when i go out into the world bald and one boob missing guys find me attractive because I know Im attractive. Change your mindset fall in love with yourself then God then all else will follow. Good Luck TMI yeah my bad lol

Back at work - one question. Is this for real? How am I going to make it through the day. Sitting in an office chair is so uncomfortable! (I know complain complain). Also feel so swollen that I am going to bust open. TMI part. Also - drain complaining again - woke up this morning with my remaining drain totally clogged up to a point where the lack of suction made it open and I was COVEREd in grossness and my sheets. After I unclogged I drained 25 ccs within 10 minutes. How GROSS is that. Can you tell I am feeling crappy like I want to go home? :confused:

I loves me some popcorn, and will treat myself to a greasy bag of it when I go to the movies (sans the "butter"). I don't go to the movies very often, so I feel ok about it. As a TMI aside, it does seen to upset my stomach a little. I always attributed it to the fact that it's a pretty radical departure from my usual protein-rich diet.

Hello my fellow December Sleevers!! I was sleeved on 12/19/11 and I have lost 122lbs!!! I feel great about myself now and about life. I have competed in two triathlons and I have another one in September to celebrate my 36th year birthday. I also have two 5Ks coming up soon. I went from being 296.8lbs to 175 and a tight size 22 to a size 6 or 8. I am hoping to lose another 25lbs and get a tummy tuck and a boob reduction. Sorry boys if that is tmi. This surgery has changed my life is so many different ways. But the most important is the knowledge that the surgery is just a tool. When people ask me how I've lost so much weight, I tell them I exercise a lot, eat well, and oh yeah I had surgery. I am also living a dream I've wanted to do since high school. I always wanted to be in the color guard of the marching band but I was always too self conscious because who wanted to be the fat girl in the tight uniform?? So now I am the instructor of the color guard!! I love it. Keep up the good work everyone!!!
