Low libido because of weight loss?



Recommended Posts

I asked my doctor and she told me to ask people who have had this done. I was wondering if anyone has had a problem with not being interested in sex much after loosing weight? I have never had this problem but it seems like the last month or so since I have started exercising more I just couldn't care less about it. Any thoughts?

its always increased mine in the past. how are you feeling about yourself? could it be a mental block? excercise creates endorphines which make you happy, always feel better about it when i am happy with myself. maybe sip some wine to relax?

I had the lapband 4 months ago...then got a foster baby out of the hospital a month later. Soooo, haven't been doing a lot of that lately. Not sure if its because of the baby or just because I don't want to. But I can honestly say I don't crave it and could care less if I get it!

Mines declined steadily over the past six years, i could easily live wiyhout it. Oh, i make the effort and usually enjoy it, but i never feel like it anymore. Ive had a lot of other issues too which are probably a factor.

      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.
