Women and Hormones...



Recommended Posts

I hope I'm not constipated. I take my stool softeners daily and have bm. I wouldn't say that I stick its not noticable but if you put your nose in my pit it's bad. My husband has noticed a change in my smell hopefully it will go away

I had my pre-op today and quizzed both my Dr and his asst about the smell, acne, etc. He said he hadn't had that complaint, only hormone changes with diabetic patients, of which I don't have any sign of. I'm just going to follow everything to a "t" and hope for the best!

I smell!!!!! I'm not constipated. My armpits smell like ass! And under the belly fat roll smells! Nothing helps!!!!

Use cornstarch it helps with sweating... But first make sure the area is dry completely after washing.

Okay, there is a product, and don't laugh- called "Fresh Breasts". I had purchased "Fresh Balls" as a gag gift, and this came with it. So, I though what the hell. I tried it, and by God, it totally keeps me dry and fresh under my boobs. Just a thought...

After i had my ovaries out my Ph changed and for months all types of deodorants burned my pits. In the future when i have my bypass i hope i don't have to go through that again.

      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.
