Help don't want (boink)partner to know



Recommended Posts

To say this as nice as possible...

Why the heck would you be getting it on with someone if you're not even comfortable enough to tell them you had the surgery.

My 2cents and sorry if you take offense to it. No freaking way my knickers would be coming off to someone who doesnt know me that well.

If you like science fiction or he does, you could tell him you are really a cyborg and that this is your download port. If he wants more detail, tell him it is beyond most humans ability to understand.

If you can't laugh about things, then move on to a new person.

When I started dating my guy (now my husband) after we had "done the deed" the first time I said, "so you are probably wondering about my scars"

"What scars?" he replied. He was serious.

He was having WAY too much fun to notice scars.

I say, don't sweat it. If you have some "fun" with a partner, have fun. If they are bold enough to ask about your scars, then say "oh, I had some surgery, no big deal" and shrug.

If you don't make a big deal of it, no one else will either.

Yep lingling, if you lose enough weight, you can see the lump where the port is.

I can see mine now. It's not very obvious, but you can see that there is a 'hill' where the port is lying under my skin. My DH can also tell where it is by looking at me closely.

I do wonder though if after my PS, if it'll be relocated deeper in, so it doesn't stick out. Though if it doesn't happen, I'm okay with that too.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
