Straws And The Like...



Recommended Posts

Ladies, I see that we have all discovered an extra perk to our weight loss when it comes to sex. I have a question though: how have you reacted to oral sex (giving)? If using a straw puts air into my stomach thus causing gas, won't oral sex do the same thing?

This would be a great question to be answered. I was thinking about the swallowing of fluids but thought it might be a little to forward to ask. So please excuse me if ur offended!

I have not had a problem with extra gas. Everything was normal for me. As far as fluids, that really isn't that much if you think about it.

And btw.. I never get too much air from using a straw. In fact, I asked my nutritionist what was the scientific basis for not using a straw..and she said there was no scientific evidence or studies done on the use of straws and having the sleeve done. It's just a suggestion. Some people gulp air with straws, some don't. I don't, so I use them.

Good point. I am sure it is not advisable early on. Not really a question I wanted to ask my doctor :ph34r:

Maybe I am doing it wrong but when I perform oral sex I am not sucking air out of there!

I am sure you will be absolutely fine.

I was more worried about the swallowning. My hubs has never complained about the seal not being tight ;-)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
