  1. So I am almost 6 months post op VSG down 80pds. I’ve noticed sex has been hurting a little each time and I’m unsure if it’s because I’ve lost so much weight there’s no more meat there to excuse me but there’s no more meat there to protect me when it gets intense...I’ve also haven’t gotten much of a sex drive back...will it ever come back?


  2. I bought a gastric sleeve cookbook to help with recipes and it literally gives me recipes for each stage of a diet plan and gives weekley recipes depending how many weeks out of surgery and helps tell you what to avoid, limit, and stock up on and so much more i highly recommend it !!😊 It is on Amazon and not pricey at all!!

    So I had my surgery June 26th, and just past my 3rd week and only lost 1 pound. I am walking every day and have progressed up to 5k steps a day and not losing. I am in my puree phase and my typical day is a half an avocado, Greek yogurt, and tuna mashed. My Snacks are a SF popsicle, SF Jello, or unsweetened apple sauce. After surgery I was not able to drink the premier shakes as they induced nausea so I have been using an unflavored Protein Powder and mixing in a Zero Powerade and Water with crystal light. Not sure what I may be doing wrong and this Friday I start my soft food phase and not sure what my menu will be yet. Any help would be appreciated

    I had my surgery just a day before you and reading what you have gone through i myself have had 1 week so far of a stall and just started going down again 1 or 2 pounds but i also experienced nausea well not so much nausea but like a burn or acid reflux with the Premier Protein so i have muscle milk Protein powder and mix it with unsweetened almond milk and its not bad but you gave me a good tip with the unflavored protein powder.


  4. Im not sure if anyone else has had these difficulties but it doesnt hurt to ask. I am 3 weeks post op about to be 4 this thursday. I have just started stage 2 of my diet plan last week friday to soft/mushy foods. Ive been experiencing some difficulties swallowing even with the smallest bites and yes i do chew until its practically gone and nothing to really swallow. I am unsure whether or not i am full or satisfied. i am not familiar with what it should feel like to be full or satisfied. it doesnt feel like its stuck but it just isnt very comfortable to eat. its a feeling i find hard to explain. its starting to bring me down because im not comfortable eating.

    Ive also been experiencing shortness of breath from about a week post op to now. I have had some issues last summer with having heat induced asthma but my inhaler hasnt been helping much either. I noticed in week 2-2 1/2 post op it started to get better and i was just about to finish the liquid stage of my diet plan. once i started my soft/mushy food stage it had come back and i have a hard time standing to help my cook in the kitchen i get short of breath and have to hurry to my room where the AC is full blast to help me calm down and catch my breath. It isnt like i cant breath at all it feels like when your outside on a humid day for too long and your having a hard time breathing normal you end up noticing your yawning more to get that deep breath you feel might relief yourself or trying to take deep breaths to relief yourself.

    and lastly ive been experiencing some stomach pain in my actual stomach (my pouch) before realizing i have to use the bathroom. is that considered dumping syndrome? usually i dont experience it until about 2-3 hours after lunch and it happens once a day except for yesterday i did not need use the bathroom apart from not be too expressive but to urinate.

    i know my Water intake and Protein intake hasnt been the best since my post op and i did just start my Iron supplements alone with other Vitamins 3 days ago but has anyone else experienced these feelings?
