    Deeper Penetration

    ive noticed sex has been much more pleasurable that is until my husband goes into beast bang mode. at times it can make me have several orgasms back to back. other times it feels like he goes way too deep way too hard. I went to my gyno and I am perfectly healthy and non injured. I thought switching to me on top would help but even flat on his back he bucks like a mad man. have any of you ladies experienced deep penetration discomfort since wls? Also has anyone else realized the hugeness of their husbands penis after wls? btw I reached the 100lbs total lost about 2 wks ago and he is really giving it to me like im someone new.

    June Sleevers! Hows It Going?

    My jeans that im holding up had actually gotten too tight for me when I had my surgery june 25. I do not make it a habit of weighing myself regularly because it puts me in a bad place mentally. I still see my wls once a month so im fine being weighed only once a month. Ive gone from wearing size 28/30 to 16/18. Ive been having great results alternating strength training with cardio so that im not just a smaller version of my fat self but a better shaped smaller version of myself. I can eat small amounts of just about anything but I focus on protein and I still supplement my diet with my protein shakes.

    Dumping Syndrome?

    Egg salad (eggs and mayo only) is what did it the first time. Ranch salad dressing is what did it the second time. Usually people will tell you to avoid sweets and greasy foods but i havent tried anything sweet or greasy. It varies from person and from what ive read the majority of sleeve patients will not have to worry about dumping. The correct term is rapid gastric emptying. My dr told me i probably ate too fast but i know i will never eat anything with mayo or ranch again

    Dumping Syndrome?

    My heart began racing...i broke out into a cold sweat. Then came the diarrhea and vomiting at the same time. Once that subsided and i attempted to stand up i almost passed out. I am the mother of 6 children and the 2 dumping episodes i experienced were the most physically terrifying experience ive ever gone thru. I was convinced at those moments that if my husband had not thought to check on me i wouldve died on the bathroom floor. Looking back i know thats not true but the sheer terror of it cannot be forgotten.

    Terrified

    I was sleeved june 25. I had a dr appt this past monday and id lost 57lbs. My dr and nut expressed concern that i may be developing an eating disorder. I will only eat baked chicken breast, cooked spinach, small pieces of sharp cheddar cheese, and of course my protein shakes and water. I expressed my concern to my dr that I have developed a phobia around trying new foods because im one of the few sleeve patients that actually " dumps". He insisted that my fears are red flags to the onset of a possible eating disorder and that I need to work towards developing a healthy relationship with food. I am seeing my therapist next tuesday because I know that if my husband and kids werent watching me I would just drink my shakes. Im interested in knowing if anyone else conquered irrational food phobias post op? Positive/insightful/ responses welcomed

    The texture of scrambled eggs is unnerving to me but i did chop a boiled egg over my spinach this morning and enjoyed that quite a bit

    Terrified

    Dumping is actually rapid gastric emptying. For me I broke out in a sweat about 10 min after eating egg salad. I theb had vomiting and diarhea at the same time, dizzyness and almost passed out.

    12 Days Post Op And Swollen

    I had 2 days of swelling and not being able to keep down fluids and I thought I would not make it. I admire your courage and strength and sincerely hope that no errors were made during your procedure and that you make a speedy recovery.

    "all Things In Moderation"?

    I would love to believe that I could enjoy all things in moderation but I am one of a few sleeve patients that has dumping syndrome. This makes me very scared to even think about trying new things
  22. I hope when I lose more weight mainly because I have this one stubborn hair on my chin. I already have six children, one husband, and four dogs so I am not wanting or needing to increase my family size I simply want this one hair to vanish and never come back
