For Guys Only, Liquid Diet, Sleeve, and Testosterone



Recommended Posts

I am a 41 year old guy. My wife and I had a very high sex drive before the liquid diet began. I do use Viagra because of some "misfires" I believe to be caused from my diabetes. Two nights before surgery (10 days on liquids) we tried to have a "Grand sendoff" before my surgery. ED kicked in and I was not able to finish. It's been quite a while since that has happened. Very disappointing. I'm now 5 days post op. Thought I might make another effort when I get out my drain in 2 days, but I'm a bit gun-shy. I have heard stories of soaring drives and success after surgery, and I know I'm early. I'm not a spring chicken but I still had "morning wood" 2 or 3 days a week pre liquid diet. With the exception of the Viagra induced failure pre op, I have not even been able to get an errection since the start of the Liquid Diet 15 days ago. I checked my Protein and its whey not Soy. Anyone else have this issue? Help? Feeling quite emasculated right now...

Sex drive did soar a few weeks after surgery, but my hormones were really pretty out of whack for a while (very low testosterone, high esterol during my 4 week labs). This may well be what is going one with you. I would talk to your doctor and see what they think. Just did my four month labs and hormone levels are back to normal. It gets better.

First off, dude... it happens to the best of us so don't let it get into your head. I could have written your post a year ago myself. However, once I got the drain out and my incisions were pretty well healed and I was off the blood pressure medicine; well it was on after that!

Once you start rapid weight loss, you are going to have a ton of hormones dumped into your bloodstream too. There were many a night where my wife had to tap out long before I was ready.

Oh, and as an aside... don't worry about the soy Protein giving you moobs or elevating estrogen levels. That has been pretty much debunked. Unless you are taking in mass quantities like a vegan weightlifter. Soy is safe.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
