I have no sex drive right now I am always tired and exhausted. I do have two small children but I feel like I should have more of a sex drive than I do. I am hoping this improves after surgery after loosing weight. Has anyone had an increase in their sex drive? I really want my sex life to be the way it was a while back. Anyone have any insights??

I am horrible at working out and I have lost 113 pounds in 7 months. My weight loss is going very slow now and I am getting nervous I want to hit my goal weight. I have 29 pounds left to do that so I got a treadmill and I want to do that plus other workouts. Has anyone had success doing workouts at home for arms and tummy especially for saggy skin? If so what did you do I would really like to try some for arms and tummy. Summer is around the corner and would love to tone up a bit.

I had the sleeve done in August and I was doing well then I had a gallbladder issue. I just had my gallbladder removed in January and now I had pain in my left ear and popping of my jaw on the left side. I went to the doctor and they said it’s a slight case of TMJ. I don’t have chronic pain it’s only when chewing or trying to eat and it happens frequently. I’m scared I’m looking up everything online and everyone is saying you may need your jaw wired shut or surgery for the TMJ. I wanted to see if anyone had this problem after their weight loss. I am bad at taking my vitamins now I’m scared I screwed something else up. Has anyone had an issue? I am seeing a chiropractor on Monday and and oral surgeon next Tuesday. My dentist said the oral surgeon will take care of that.

My surgery is Monday January 22nd. I took a half of an oxycodon tonight which is 5 days before my surgery. I never take pain pills but I had another gallbladder attack and I needed relief and completely forgot don’t take any medicine the time frame before surgery. Will that 5mg really hurt or will they cancel my surgery because of it??? I am freaking out now because I really want to get this gallbladder out. In two weeks had two attacks and they are not fun. I also wanted to ask if anyone had horrible gas pains when they woke up from surgery like when you wake up from the gastric sleeve surgery. Please if anyone can help me I am nervous about the pain and now with this medicine I took.

Thank you everyone!!! I am so scared to eat

I drank the tea called smooth move it’s all natural taste great. Few hours later got such great relief.

I found out I have gallstones and I’m getting surgery next Monday. I am trying to eat low-fat. Some people that have had gallbladder issues say stay away from cheese, coffee , red meats, gassy veggies, eggs. My doctor just said to just stay on a very lean low fat diet. I am technically doing that because of my gastric sleeve. I was eating cheese now I feel like what can I eat. Can I eat low fat cheese? I just don’t want anymore attacks till I get this gallbladder out. I am just trying to see if anyone on here is in a similar situation. I’m confused do I listen to the doctor or people who have had a gallbladder issue.

I went to my surgeon today and he told me I have to have gallbladder surgery on a week!!! I am so upset but I knew this was a possibility. I’m scared of waking up from surgery being in pain from the gas like the sleeve surgery. Has anyone ever had their gallbladder out and how was your experience? I’m nervous this is only my second surgery. I would love to hear some of your experiences.

Thank you I probably won’t find out till Friday when I go back to the doctor.

I just came back from seeing my doctor. I had a pain last night from my stomach to the middle of my back. I thought I was having a gallbladder attack but the doctor thinks it’s the cheese I ate right before I had that pain. It’s started getting better after I took two gas ex pills and a charcoal pill. Then I took a half of a pain killer because the pain was not severe but still lingering. I felt 1000% better this morning. I also got hot and cold sweats after all this pain. Could it really be what I ate I thought for sure it’s my gallbladder. I am going for a scan tomorrow to rule it out. Has anyone had the same experience?

I am almost four months out of surgery and everytime I eat I burp a lot. Is this normal? I don’t know if I am eating to fast or is this just something some people get. I spoke with some other people who have had the gastric sleeve and they don’t get this. Has anyone experienced this?

I had a hernia repair also but I am almost four months out I don’t think I could still have gas. I have had a lot of heartburn lately. I guess I can ask the doctor when I see him on the fifth.

I️ am trying to stay away from carbs. I️ eat them very rarely. I️ would like to know if it’s gluten free does it make it better and healthier. For example gluten free baking or bread. I️ am just wondering because I️ not to familiar with it. Just curious if it will be better eating let’s say a gluten free pancake versus a regular.

Has anyone had a gallbladder issue. I don’t know what’s going on with me but I am calling my doctor on Monday. After I eat I burp a lot and I sometimes not always get not pain but a burning pain like I️ I am starving in my stomach and it goes to my back. It feels like I have to crack my back all the time. Has anyone had their gallbladder removed? Do you have to def get surgery or can it be treated at first then do surgery if it doesn’t help. I’m getting freaked out[emoji33]

I️ have the same question!!! I️ wonder if it’s healthier?

I am 4 months out and I get pains from my tummy going to the middle of my back. It feels like when you are starving and your stomach is burning put it goes to my back. It’s not painful but very annoying and uncomfortable. I see my doctor January 5th I plan on telling him. I’m freaking myself out like it’s something horrible. The feeling is not consistent. It comes and goes throughout the day. Has anyone felt like this before. I just started feeling this the past month.

I️ don’t feel like it’s gallbladder because the pain is not where my gallbladder would be.

I have been having a really rough time on the liquid diet part hopefully next Thursday I can go on puréed foods. I am also getting down because people make me feel like I will never eat again. I have been craving sushi like crazy and a few people said well keep craving it cause you will never eat that again. I mean why be so cruel. I hope I can def eat sushi after surgery. Some people say oh well you have to wait at least 2 years to eat sushi. It's making me feel like I have to defend myself all the time. My family is super supportive and always tell me I will eat my favorite foods again it's just a matter of time. Other people make it seem like I have committed myself to a death sentence. Are these people right? Will I be able to eat sushi in a few month or years or never. I'm just getting so fed up. I also love pasta and rice and they make it seem like well that's off the menu forever. I don't want to eat it always but knowing every once in a while I can have it makes me feel better.

I’m almost at three months and I️ lost 61 pounds.

I am 2 1/2 months post op. I have lost 60 pounds. I am loosing around 3 pounds a week but I feel like it’s coming off so slowly. I noticed I am not drinking enough of water I may have 60oz of fluid but it’s mixed water, tea, coffee. I have no energy to exercise so I am just doing walking. I also feel like I don’t eat enough. Could I really be not loosing weight because I am not eating my enough or drinking enough? I would like to hear other people what they may do to reach their goals. I don’t eat enough because every time I try to eat sometimes I have no hunger and sometimes I feel like it sits in my chest. Would really love to hear if anyone changed any of these things and got better weight loss results?

I am hearing lots of different stories about the pain after surgery. What does it feel like if anyone can share their stories. Some say it's soar like you did crunches some say it's excruciating pain. I'm getting worried [emoji33]

I obviously plan on working out after surgery when my surgeon gives and clearance. Do you have to go to a gym? Does anyone have any workout recommendations you do at home and are they as effective as going to the gym. I am a mother of two and want to do workouts that I can still be around my children or at least not have to find a babysitter all the time.

I am two months post op and my stomach feels weird when I drink it but I’m fine with water. It’s diet tea. Is this normal? I sometimes want to change up from water.

I am exhausted all the time have no energy. My sex drive has not increased yet. I am 2 months post surgery, is this still normal? I want to have energy to work out be able to not feel tired all the time. Please help!!!

I am two months post op and eat very slow. Will I ever eat like a normal person at a normal rate? Will I be able to take bigger bites. Sometimes I am hungry and I eat to quickly and then I feel it stuck. I miss eating normal to eat normal bites and swallow.
