2.5 months out lost 35 lbs from 253lbs day of surgery. Just not interested in Sex and not even horny!! I know TMI!! But just wondering if anyone else feels the same way! My husband is very frustrated, however I am ok with it. Has anyone else's libido dropped too?

I just stick to two Protein Shakes and a Protein Bar for the day. When i do get hungry i eat chicken in whatever way i cook it. Premier Protein shake and bar. I can't eat much of anything. And I drink crystal light or apple juice (no added sugar even though it has sugar) if i am thirsty or Water if I work out.

Thx:)! I did hit a plateau at 2-3 weeks and I found I was consuming way too much either food or Water or carbs. So I kept it 500 cal or less and drink when thirsty. Then i started dropping again. Too much drinking made me retain, keeping it les than 50 carbs a day. And that seem to be the trick. Good luck!

My husband mad me a sort of like pizza, he used a wrap called wheat flatout wrap, it's low carbs, added some Pasta meat sauce and triple chedddar cheese mix on top and placed it it the oven. Delicious almost like a regular pizza, but I got only have a bite or two and was stuffed. But it was satisfying.
Good luck:)

Hi everyone! 4 weeks post op. 20lbs down. I too had a problem with Protein. I hate the powder and anything strawberry flavor kills it. But I found these awesome shakes(thanks to another blogger) I buy mine at Sams club, shakes are chocolate flavor, the best flavor to me, and called premium Protein. They are like $20 a box of 12 and have 30g of protein 1g carb and I think 160 calories. I also found a wafer Peanut Butter flavor (they have other flavors) bar from Power Crunch particularly low in carbs 5g and 13g in protein, those bars I found at Walmart or Publix.
I am allowed to pretty much eat anything, which is good for my food addiction, however my stomach tolerates a bite or two. So I mainly stick to two or three shakes a day and a bar along with my fluids. So far I am happy with this. I am no longer restricted to food so the temptation is not there( tempation is well only there sometimes.). If I do eat I find I get comfort and satisfaction from anything that's a protein. carbs are way to uncomfortable for me even if it's a vegetable. Good luck and I hope this helps:)

I used a binder, however the pain didn't go away until my stitches were pulled. I was allergic to them. I developed some redness and two raised areas. I had them removed 11 days postoperative. And I am now 2 weeks out.

Maybe you need to add some more ppi's . I was bumped up to protonix twice a day and it so helped. Ask your doc.

Congrats! I am so glad I found this forum. I have gotten really good points and people to can relate to what I am going through.

Same here 24 hours off pain meds and I used a abdominal binder, that kepted my incisions tucked and snugged, and that equals less pain.

13 days post op and for the past two days experiencing this. Thanks for posting. I just figured that I have to eat slower and if I even have a hunch that a bite my brig it over the top I try to stop, however havent perfected it in 24 hours. So throwing up is the next best thing or walking it off.
