Vajayjay changes



Recommended Posts

Did anyone else have vajayjay changes since surgery? I’ve always been a big Water drinker which now isn’t so much but also feel like I’m having the beginnings of yeast infection or something just super dry feeling. If this makes any sense at all.

You know I would have expected it to be the opposite. With the estrogen and other chemicals that have been stored in your fat stores layer released I would have expected increased lubrication instead. Maybe a problem for your gynecologist to puzzle over?

I had this change about 3 months after the surgery. It's a major problem now.

I have had the opposite AND there is a new sweet smell (sorry for the TMI). I am very sensitive to smells right now, so it could be nothing. I have no symptoms.

The sweet smell might be ketones. Do you smell it when you urinate, or are just bare, even if not having recently urinated? If doing high Protein, you could be spilling ketones, as expected you would]. Do you have some urine dipsticks? You can check for ketones. That indicator turns purple, when they are present.

Right after surgery my whole body was drier - skin, hair, nails, etc because of not getting enough liquids, and not getting much nutrition - fats, calories, micronutrients from fruits and vegetables. And depending on your age and hormones, there are lots of changes going on and it's a crap shoot trying to figure out reactions and what is causing them. For me presently at 5 months postop, and over a decade post menopause the 'old gal' is a little less dry than before surgery but she isn't 18 any more either lol.

I’m 7 months post op, and I have more wetness down there- but have lost almost all arousal.. I can’t feel anything during sex... no weird dryness other than that as of now. Early in the stages - yes, I had lots of dryness! Very uncomfortable . I used lotion and drank more Water. It will pass.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
