I can't believe I'm posting this. Okay, Feels like I'm growing a penis...



Recommended Posts

Okay ladies, I'm far from my target weight; however, with my weight loss, my thighs aren't rubbing together as they once did. As a result, I swear I now feel that my privates are more prominant.

I can actually feel my privates while I'm walking. Nope, never felt this before the weight loss and it's kind of weird to say the least.

Please tell me I'm not the only one out there experiencing this.

Well, its not something I've experienced with, but it is understandable, do you think it could be something you will just get used to?

Have you grabbed a mirror and taken a look to reassure yourself that all looks normal down there? They are pretty ugly things to look at, lol, labia tend to be quite large, with the inner ones protruding.

You're not having any issues with dryness or anything (might be age/hormone related)? That can make you feel hyper aware of your bits.

Sadly, my thighs still rub together at this point, but when the time comes that they no longer do, I will see what it feels like for me... In fact, I can't honestly say that I remember a time when my thighs didn't rub together... I can't even imagine what it will feel like to walk without that uncomfortable rubbing sensation.

Jachut, everything is perfectly fine down there. I've never experienced dryness - thank goodness. DH says everything looks the same biggrin.gif. I think that the lips and overall exterior are flabby just like the botton half of my stomach.

I guess I need to find an exercise that will work to tighten the flabby skin in that area.

I have read that burning fat releases estrogen into your body, I wonder if that could be giving you some swelling?

when you lose weight, you lose it around that area too. I had a friend who said when her boyfriend lost weight it got bigger!

Plastic surgeons "tuck up the labia" just like they do your tummy. Some women have more flappy skin than others. Give it a year after weight loss to tighten up, if it doesn't after a year, then consider surgery to remove the extra skin. It's normal.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
