Have you had lab work done yet? My surgeon has us have extensive labwork at
one month, three months, six months, nine months, and a year out… then
yearly afterwards. Several things could be happening organically: anemia,
B12 deficiency, not enough protein, dehydration/electrolyte losses, and
more… all of which can be tested through blood tests.
The other factor is you are still recovering from major MAJOR surgery. Your
body is still healing parts that have nothing to do with what you can see on
the outside. Be patient… be gentle on yourself… time *will* heal your
body. The next 6 weeks will show you dramatic changes.
Yes, this has happened to me as well. Without getting terribly graphic,
things shift, change, and are more exposed as we lose weight. It only gets
worse/better. I have been able to do things sexually that I haven’t done in
20 years. And each time I make love with my partner is like re-introducing
myself physically to her. This is a common theme in our support group
meetings, so I know we are not the odd ones out here. Experiment.
Re-position yourself (or your spouse). But, no matter what, have fun!
