Help don't want (boink)partner to know



Recommended Posts

To say this as nice as possible...

Why the heck would you be getting it on with someone if you're not even comfortable enough to tell them you had the surgery.

My 2cents and sorry if you take offense to it. No freaking way my knickers would be coming off to someone who doesnt know me that well.

If you like science fiction or he does, you could tell him you are really a cyborg and that this is your download port. If he wants more detail, tell him it is beyond most humans ability to understand.

If you can't laugh about things, then move on to a new person.

When I started dating my guy (now my husband) after we had "done the deed" the first time I said, "so you are probably wondering about my scars"

"What scars?" he replied. He was serious.

He was having WAY too much fun to notice scars.

I say, don't sweat it. If you have some "fun" with a partner, have fun. If they are bold enough to ask about your scars, then say "oh, I had some surgery, no big deal" and shrug.

If you don't make a big deal of it, no one else will either.

Yep lingling, if you lose enough weight, you can see the lump where the port is.

I can see mine now. It's not very obvious, but you can see that there is a 'hill' where the port is lying under my skin. My DH can also tell where it is by looking at me closely.

I do wonder though if after my PS, if it'll be relocated deeper in, so it doesn't stick out. Though if it doesn't happen, I'm okay with that too.

      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.
