  7. I feel good! Besides having my gallbladder out in August and Pancriatitis 2 weeks ago...I'm ok. Yeah I am definitely going to talk to my doctor. THanks
  8. I don't know ... Sometimes I think I should like force myself but... I just don't care lol.. and don't want it. I don't know. And trust me.. I love my husband and am still 100% attracted to him... ugh.. so frustrating..
  9. It was definitely better pre-op! GO FIGURe! Yes I do and nothing to speak of as of yet.
  10. I am almost a year post op and my sex drive is....NILL! My husband is going crazy! You would think after losing 127 lbs I would want it every day! NOPe! I was hoping it would get better...but nothing. I have tried sprays under the tongue & some all natural supplements and still didn't help. I don't know what to do.... Advice?? Anyone else have this problem??
  11. Thanks so much for putting me in the spotlight this month!! I am honored!!! And proud of course!!
  12. Laundry is MUCH more productive than a pity party!! EXCELLENT decision! Good luck to you & your husband!!!
  13. Good luck & stay positive! Nerves are normal! You got this!
  14. I am 7 months post op and have NEVER had that problem nor have I met anyone that has had that however everyone & and their progress & recovery is different! Stay positive and know you can do this! Listen to the guidelines your surgeon gives you post op! Good luck!
  15. Don't be worried! Everyones progress & recovery is different! Don't compare yourself to anyone else. Rest, take your pain meds, and make sure your staying hydrated. And of course, when in doubt call your surgeon! Stay positive! You can do this!
  16. Trust me... the hair loss part sucks!!! I feel like 5 weeks is early but everyone is different. Are you dropping weight fast? I lost A LOT of hair between 3 & 5 months post op. Luckily it stopped and has been growing back. I would be in tears in the shower! I also got Bosley hair restoration treatments which is shampoo conditioner and a treatment which helped also. How much Biotin are you taking? I take 10,000mcg a day. It is completely common and just know it will stop and grow back! Hang in there!! It will get better I promise!
  17. Good Luck! You will do great! It was THE best decision I have ever made... just wish I would have done it sooner! The first couple days are the worst but everyday is better! I didnt have to take any pain meds when I got home from the hospital. I was not in any pain.. just felt like I did 10000 too many crunches! Stay positive and remember... its normal to be nervous ! Good luck and keep me posted!
  18. I can't believe I'm 4 weeks post op today.. I really can't believe how fast the time has gone! Anyways I feel wonderful!! No problems at all! And the best part? I'm down 30lbs so far!! Hope everyone is doing good as well!!! ????????????
  19. Don't be concerned. Everyone is different. I'm feeling great today but hungry! Can't wait til Monday so I can start puréed foods. Def hungry tonight ... Having my beef broth as my family has steaks lol
  20. Okay thank you everyone!! So good to be posting in the POST op section!! ????????????
  21. So I had my surgery on Monday and I'm not in any pain besides being sore. However, I am SUPER tired and wiped out all day. I'm getting in all my liquids and protein. Anyone have any advice??
  22. Thank you!! It's def better than it was thank god! Hope your feeling well!
  23. I was sleeved today around noon as well. I'm lying in my hospital bed and can't sleep. The gas pain is what is killing me tho. They also found I had a hiatal hernia so she had to repair that. No nausea yet so far thank god although a little heartburn type feeling. But I think it was from the lemon glycerin swabs they were giving me for dry mouth. So I stopped those. Leak test is at 8:30am and looking forward to some water! ESP looking forward for all these wires too come off so I can put on my own clothes and walk around more.
