So ... we lose weight everywhere. everywhere. So um, does anybody have any advice on how to keep the lady bits from getting bruised after a vigorous go-round? It wasn't THAT crazy and yet I feel like I've got bone bruises because certain areas are no longer protected by a cushiony fat pad.

I'll be watching this also. I'd like to know. And yes OUCH!!!

Alternate positions? lol. Im kinda thinking this will be an interesting topic!

I tried that.lol I have bruises everywhere. I'd sure hate to tell him to simmer down.... I kinda like it the way it is.

OMG......so glad I found this site. As I am pre-op I haven't the slightest clue on what to do...lol but as I am pre-op I always

wondered when I lost weight would I lose that extra cushion down there???? So glad to know I will, but now scared to! I was

with my husband when I was smaller and there were times that I was pretty tossed around after a good hoo-rah lol but I have never been as small as I will be after my vsg.........you have just invoked a new fear, but one I can't wait to conquer. I love you guys I have a new set of girlfriends that don't judge! How COOL.

Well Ladies, maybe it's time for us ladies to take charge. Yes, I mean take charge. Ask for what you want from your man! Yep, give him directions on what you like. Slow it down, take time to enjoy every moment of it. The funny thing is, that when you are in an aroused state, you do not feel pain like you would if not aroused. Sorry, this may be TMI! But enjoy sex! We burn calories when we're having sex! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

It's been 30+ years since I have had bruised bones, but can't wait until that time comes again. I do remember that if I did the riding the bruises weren't as bad. Just a thought.

I seem to remember something about that from loooong ago....... yes..... back when I could find my bones...

I will look forward to this!

I ride a bike for exercise and I have to tell you this IS a problem! I have purchased new biking pants several times to help and use a special lotion or lubricant called Chamois Butt'r designed just for this! In the other department.... I don't know. I think the bike riding may be "training" and "strengthening" all of me! :wub:

I am so thankful I'm not the only one with this issue! Isn't this a royal pain? I seriously never realized how much that extra bit of fat added to the comfort level. I have no real suggestions for you as I'm dealing with the same thing. I just try to vary things up a bit so my bruises are never in the same place two days in a row.

And I'm completely embarrassed to admit this, but I've also noticed I seem to have, well, LESS room, if that makes any sense. Things that used to be a-okay are no longer quite so comfortable. I had no idea that every part of my body would change with the weight loss, honestly!

If anyone finds a solution I'd love to hear about it.

I have a really embarrassing questioning. Does anyone have any excess skin around the rectum? It is such a weird feeling and it's driving me crazy? I hope I get some feedback, I would hate to be the only one.
