Changes "Down There"



Recommended Posts

This might be TMI but I'm too embarrassed to call and ask my male doctor. I am 3 1/2 weeks out from my surgery and have lost about 35 lbs. The past week I have had a huge increase in vaginal discharge. It is like the kind you get right before ovulation. Has anyone else experienced this?

I did! Hormones are trying to keep up with the weight loss.

Me too! I am 4 months post op, down almost 70 pounds and I feel like I am pre period all the time now. My breasts are tender and all. I assume it because now that I am losing the hormones are acting up.

Hate to be the little black cloud, but I had similar symptoms just before my diagnosis with cervical cancer - adenocarcinoma not squamous cell (so can't be detected till advanced). Worthwhile checking with your doctor.

You are not alone it is like I am in ovulation stage almost everyday.. Also with that I know my hormones are all over the place because I am so emotional at times I think Im going nuts... So yes the hormones are trying to keep up and balance out I just dont know how long that is going to take.. But on the good side of that the blood vessels are flowing and I am always feeling excited if you get my drift.... lolol :wub:

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
