sex drive after lap band?



Recommended Posts

OK so i'm not sure exactly how to put this but here goes.....has anyone's sex drive gone up in the few weeks after surgery? Mine seemed to skyrocket about a week after surgery, and still doesn't seem to be slowing down...Wow didn't think that was possible, as I already have a high sex drive blink.gif

You know I think when your sex drive takes a plunge when your not happy with your self and now that your banded your sub consciously happier then you realize and its affecting your sex drive. I know mine sky rocketed as well

I am so glad y'all have posted this. I am not banded yet, but have wondered this. (trying hard not to embarrass myself) One, my husband will "hate" to hear that several peoples sex drive have increased. ha ha he says I am gonna kill him now with my current drive (in a good way). :o Anyhow, I have wondered if different positions cause too much pressure on the port and if it can cause problems.

I know me for one could do about any position, as long as neither him nor I was laying on my port incision, as I am now 1 and a half month from being banded, I have no problems at all, its almost like I have no band at all blink.gif other than the fact I am down about 35 lbs and cannot eat very much at all

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
