Recommended Posts

Has any male experienced loss of sexual appetite or has had erectile dysfunction after having the gastric bypass?

I would think it's gets better after surgery cuz you start to slim down so more energy.

Just a note for you. My husband has recently lost a good 20lbs and gone from a 38/40 to a 34/36. Not only has his 'appetite' increased so has the size of something. So I don't personally think you're going to have to worry about that. :)

And sorry we're not men answering your question.

Well I created this thread because there was about a week or so a few weeks out from surgery that I was a bit limp. I didnt have any desire for any action either. I asked my surgeon if that was normal and he said that it happens with the anesthesia sometimes and that it takes a bit for it to get out of your system completely. Thankfully I am good now and actually even better then in my teen years. :)

i think i was ready to go 3 days post op. so far i've lost close to 25 lbs and i can tell that its "longer". My wife confirmed. ha!

Im about 85 pounds down and it is for sure more visible and noticeable too that it's bigger. To be honest I was afraid that I would lose girth since every where else in my body is getting thinned out. But actually I think it's better. Maybe it's finally getting the right amount of blood circulation. Lol

      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.
