Hahahahahaahahhhahehehehehhe heee hee hee hee ....

So many of you know that I am in a deployed environment. As I have mentioned here in the Ladies Room, deployment is a long, long, LONG time, and when you combine that with the ... unusual ... side effects of surgery, there can be times when, well, when...

you just. wanna. get it. ON.

However, again, being a deployed environment, pickings are ... slim. And complicated. So what is a girl to do? Well, this girl took care of business, and let's just leave it at that. However, someone stateside sent me a goodie basket (indeed, indeed). Having no need for what the box contained, as I already had the situation well in hand, I put them aside to be forgotten about.

Well, I am preparing to leave and giving away tons of things; books, dvd's Snacks, toiletries, you name it. And then I remembered the goodie box. Well, all the other goodies I put in our female bathrooms at work, it is the understood drop-off point for stuff. So, I picked one of the lesser used bathrooms and discreetly tucked the goodies into a big cardboard box ful of pads & tampons.

When I went to check at the end of the day, it was gone! Did I mention that the kit contained a "bullet" vibe, personal lubricant, and tub of edible "nipple" balm? Oh yeah!! :P:lol:

OMG, that is hysterical!! Not just *any* box, but a box that only us women would be interested in. I'm sure whoever opened it got a little surprise...certainly no what they were expecting in that type of box. :embaressed_smile:

The tampons and pads were in a big open cardboard box in which all the tampon and pad boxes were jumbled, and I think upon inspection it would be clear to the new "owner" of the goodie box that it was unused, though I did dab a fingertip onto the balm - to use on my mouth, I was out of lipgloss! :D

Haha! I guess someone was even more desperate! But I wish I had your problem - I've had basically zero sex drive for the last 6 months or so, my boyfriend's annoyed (although understanding). I thought it'd get better when I lost weight (nope), went off the pill (nope), or exercised more (nope). It's kind of frustrating.

First, Globetrotter, that is freaking hilarious!

Second, Blackberry juice, I think someone said that progesterone cream can help get your "mojo" back! Maybe give that a try?

Thanks, I'll look into that. I suspect the most likely cause is school-related stress, so we'll see if it improves in the summer when I get a few weeks off.

Globetrotter that is too funny! I can only imagine what someone thought when they found your box.They probably

felt like they hit the jackpot.

Blackberry, the thing that will help with that is testosterone cream. You have to get a prescription for it, but it works sometimes too well, if you use too much~

Works "too" well? Is that like winning "too much money" in the lottery? B)

Haha! I remember reading an article in some women's magazine, maybe Marie Claire or Glamour, a few months ago - this woman had libido issues and went on testosterone supplements and went batshit crazy and started cheating on her husband with everyone. I imagine she was getting injections rather than using a topical cream, but still! That said, my boyfriend receives monthly testosterone injections (he had a precancerous ******** removed), and he still has issues in the sack. When he first started them, he thought he was gonna turn into a Ron Jeremy/The Rock, but I've noticed zero change in him so far.

EDIT: the word "tes.tic.le" is considered obscene on this site, apparently....lol

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
