Vajayjay changes



Recommended Posts

Did anyone else have vajayjay changes since surgery? I’ve always been a big Water drinker which now isn’t so much but also feel like I’m having the beginnings of yeast infection or something just super dry feeling. If this makes any sense at all.

You know I would have expected it to be the opposite. With the estrogen and other chemicals that have been stored in your fat stores layer released I would have expected increased lubrication instead. Maybe a problem for your gynecologist to puzzle over?

I had this change about 3 months after the surgery. It's a major problem now.

I have had the opposite AND there is a new sweet smell (sorry for the TMI). I am very sensitive to smells right now, so it could be nothing. I have no symptoms.

The sweet smell might be ketones. Do you smell it when you urinate, or are just bare, even if not having recently urinated? If doing high Protein, you could be spilling ketones, as expected you would]. Do you have some urine dipsticks? You can check for ketones. That indicator turns purple, when they are present.

Right after surgery my whole body was drier - skin, hair, nails, etc because of not getting enough liquids, and not getting much nutrition - fats, calories, micronutrients from fruits and vegetables. And depending on your age and hormones, there are lots of changes going on and it's a crap shoot trying to figure out reactions and what is causing them. For me presently at 5 months postop, and over a decade post menopause the 'old gal' is a little less dry than before surgery but she isn't 18 any more either lol.

I’m 7 months post op, and I have more wetness down there- but have lost almost all arousal.. I can’t feel anything during sex... no weird dryness other than that as of now. Early in the stages - yes, I had lots of dryness! Very uncomfortable . I used lotion and drank more Water. It will pass.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
