So has anyone else had this happen? I'm 6 weeks postop, 51lbs down and halfway to goal. And for the last 4 days, all I can think about is sex. I could care less about food lately, just keep daydreaming about sex. Which is especially difficult since my husband deployed 2 weeks ago for a 9 month deployment. I'm worried that my food addiction has transferred into the beginnings of what could be a sex addiction. (Wouldn't be the first time either. From 18-22 I was super skinny, and VERY sexually active. I was also addicted to shopping at the time) So I'm concerned that I'm going to turn to either sex or shopping and both would be detrimental to my marriage (we paid of all our debt, and our debt free since 2010). Anyone else have this happen post surgery?? Anyone have suggestions? Will it pass? Or will I just become more and more sexually frustrated the skinnier I get??!!! Thanks y'all!

I'm happy to report that with the help of OA, my higher power and my hubs, I have overcome this problem. Do I still enjoy the glances from people when I'm out? Sure. But it ends there. So grateful for all of your support!

Invisible text? I have no idea. Sorry :-/ And we've been married 7 1/2 years and this is our third deployment. First one with the kids (2yo and 8mo). I just got a call from him and told him about this. Asked him to start sending me naughty emails so that I have something to turn to when I can't talk to him and I'm sex craved. He is an awesome man, and father and I won't screw it up. I would never physically cheat, but chatting and entertaining the idea online is very tempting. :-/

There must be something far deeper and maybe even narcissistic then with my obsession. Because I'm not just obsessed with sex because I want to get off. Even more than that I am fantasizing about the physical touch aspect of it and actually being with someone. I'm sure it's all exacerbated by the hubs deploying. But it's still far more drive than I've had for the last few years. I feel like a teenage boy almost. Constantly thinking about it.

I'm so excited to be 51lbs down at 6 weeks out!!! I was sleeved Dec 3rd. I've got 49lbs more to go. But at 6'1" lots of people said I didn't need surgery to begin with (my starting bmi was 40.9) But at 310, I needed it to feel healthy and sexy and just damn good about myself again. So here's the pics. Whatta ya think? can you see the difference?? Preop 310lbs The closest I have to a full body preop....always avoided the camera The day before surgery Me 3 weeks postop Me 4 weeks postop My 6 week postop appt this past Tuesday

Any of you on myfitnesspal? I'd love some new friends to keep up with and to keep me accountable

Wow, thank you all so much for the amazing support I've gone down 3 sizes and have enjoyed every bit of it. Even my jewelry and shoes fit differently!!!

Hey y'all, have any of you had a problem with the Chobani Black Cherry 0% fat Greek yogurt giving you the dumping syndrome? I usually eat the 0% Fage Greek yogurts and have no problem. But tonight had the Chobani and was rushing to the loo soon thereafter. :-/

Thanks you guys!! I'm grateful to know that you can see the loss. Some days I still see the same image in the mirror as I did 6 weeks ago.

Whew....I'm gonna need a cold shower after reading this thread

What bout you OTR? What's your story?

Taken yesterday, with a 51lv loss under my belt ))))

And here's 2 weeks ago

Me about 3 weeks ago

I'm 6'1" 310-at the starting seminar 295-the day of surgery 259-yesterday, 6 weeks postop So I've lost 51lbs total now and gone down 3 clothing sizes. I feel amazing and have started to feel like my fabulous self again. This is def the best decision I've ever made for myself.

Sorry my post didn't show up earlier. And thanks tigger for sticking up for me But I really just wanted to know if anyone had gotten sick from the chobanis. But since you were the only one that wrote back, what's your story? Where are you at on this journey?

Being able to go down the slide with my two year old son for the first time....and not getting stuck!!! He turned around when we got the bottom and gave me a huge hug and kiss. Made me feel amazing!!!

If you need help with emotional/binge eating or food addictions, check out overeaters anonymous. They have free meetings everywhere, even online. These meetings have restored me to sanity now that I physically can't eat to deal with my emotions. Best of luck!!

I had my surgery this past Monday. I am at home recovering with two very little children (7mo and 2yrs). I am working really hard and am getting all my water and protein in. So far, my only side effects are pain still in the big incision, nausea (gone now) and bad constipation. It is a wonderful feeling though to not be hungry all the time anymore!!!! How about you guys?! Successes?? Setbacks?? Just wanted to see how everyone else was doing with their new sleeve.

Hey y'all, I'm 11 days out and am starting to think about my upcoming appt on the 18th (I'll technically be 15days post op). What do your doctors typically look for at this appt? How much weight will they expect you to have lost, %? I know each doctor is different but wanted to try and get some idea of what could happen Thanks!!

So I'm one week post op yesterday and I just fell down half my stairs. I caught myself with my hand using the railing, but it also wreaked havoc on my stomach muscles to engag enough to give me stability. It sent shooting sharp pain through my main incision area. Could I have ripped, torn, pulled a stitch Orrin anything other kind of damage to my new sleeve????

Hey y'all! My surgery was 8 days ago, Dec 3rd. As of yesterday, I've lost 10.5lbs in the first week. What is "normal"? Or, how much did you loose the first week?? My Weightloss journey- 310lbs-Seminar at hospital 302lbs-5wks later I started the preop diet at this 295lbs-5 days on preop diet/surgery day 284.5lbs-1 week postop This adds up to a grand total of 25.5lbs in about 6-7weeks. I'm really pleased with the loss. Just wondering what to expect going forward

I am so bored of my broth, Popsicles, jello, protein shakes. I feel weak like I need more. What else can I have?? Dr said anything that fits through a straw, just don't use a straw
