Intimacy issues



Recommended Posts

I have a very caring, loving boyfriend. He says that he is attracted to me and I believe him, but he has issues with my skin at the moment when we try and become intimate. I am very sad about this and it's causing me a lot of emotional stress. He is also having issues due to the fact he feels this way and he doesn't want to. Damn some men with their visual needs lol.. I am still a long way out from having any PS so I only see this getting worse before better. Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions of how we can try and work through this period of time?

Thanks :Dancing_biggrin:

I have lost about 98lbs and have lots of sagging in the belly. I have a big issue with it but it bothers me more than my husband. I have bought some lingerie to hide mine. They are really visual so masking the problem areas may help!

Yup - lingerie helps a LOT! Go to a good lingerie store and get fitted for quality stuff. It's more expensive but it makes a BIG difference. Stuff available online never fits properly when you have skin issues, and doesn't give the right support or hide the right things. Once you find that special something that helps you to feel sexy and disguises the sagging skin, take extra good care of it, so that you get your value for the money. It's worth it, believe me!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
