What is the strangest, weirdest, or most unexpected thing to happen to you after having the sleeve? I'm looking forward to reading about peoples experiences. :D No such thing as TMI here either!

I just posted about the relief of the revisit.

I just read it! That sounds like a struggle. Hope you are intolerable to the bad stuff and love the good stuff!

Ok...here it goes:

Well, I've never had a problem with Constipation. I do now! Not really weird or strange but a pain in the butt! (literally)

Also, my libido is off the charts!!! I can't get enough!

I guess with all the energy I have since I'm not dragging around all that extra weight sex is fun again!

I got engaged in February so I guess the whole libido thing is working for both of us!

Probably the weirdest thing I've noticed is that my butt cheeks don't touch as much as they used to. I don't really know how to explain this. Like before, at my heaviest, I really had to work my hand in there in the shower to properly clean myself & also after using the restroom. It's not an issue anymore, at all.

:)

Hey more of a sex drive, nice perk! I hope that happens to me. My lack of interest is a part of what messed up my marriage. (Just separated from my wife of almost 6 years)

Buttcheeks...lol I think to fully understand I just need to experience it.

Congrats on your engagement!!!!

I can't sleep on my belly anymore. Something in my middle wakes me up. My husband witnessed it a few times, he said I had something that sounded like a belch, but wasn't a belch came out of my mouth. I suspect it has something to do with acid. That and the sounds my stomach makes at night wakes me and my husband up - no lie.

The weirdest? I've always hated to sleep/lay on my stomach but after surgery (and when I came home) the pressure from laying on my stomach feels good.

I'm also craving stuff I normally don't like (like orange juice and cabbage)

That sounds weird! Have you tried Gas-x before bed? Or something to give it before it forms. I'm a big tummy sleeper so that would be lame.

Weird cravings, that will be interesting. Maybe that means you're missing a specific Vitamin and that is your body trying to get it?

maybe but Orange juice is the one thing I crave when I'm sick/don't feel good or about to start my period. as for the cabbage, It does have a lot of Vitamin C (as does oj) so maybe that's it.

      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.
