That sex subject again...



Recommended Posts

I posted a thread a week or more ago about losing my sex drive completely since losing weight. It was suggsted I visit my Dr and have some tests run...well I just wanted to let te people know who ar ein the same position as me that I went off the pill at my Drs suggestion till we ran some tests as I was on a very strong pill for heavy bleeding. She thought that since I was so much bigger when I started on it that I didnt have as many side effects but now that I have lost weight I am getting more of the side effects more pronounced.

Results:

IT WAS THE PILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont know if hearing her say that or my mind playing games on me but since I went off and found out it was the pill my sex drive is back and BAD!!!! Only thing is now I have to use alternate measures such as those yucky raincoat thingys....but anyway I just wanted to let others know if you are on the pill and have lost alot of weight make sure that dosage of pill is still appropriate for you and that you arent experiencing bad side effects that you dont need to...either go for a lower dose pill or find alternate protection.

Look out Heathergurl here I come :)

That's great, Kellie! I'm sure your SO will be thrilled! :)

Your point is very well taken, though. Significant weight loss changes more than just our physical size, and anyone on regular medication should have the dosage checked and monitored. In addition, anyone using a diaphragm for birth control should get re-sized after each 20 or 30 lbs lost, since our internal dimensions change as well.

YaYYYY Kel! (and YaYYY Paul hehe). That's fantastic news :)

I was having the same issue when you posted that thread, but since going on the Zoloft, my sex drive seems to have increased ten fold *shrugs* .. guess I'm in the 1% that it actually does that for lol, but I'm not complaining.

I dont know if Im in the same boat or not. I was on the pill for the longest time and experienced mild side effects....nothing that a good ummmm how do you say it delicately......ummm a tad of um KY wouldnt help. Okay there, enuff said about that. But since I have been off the pill...HOLY TOLEDO..I dont know if its because I haven't been with a man since I left my husband....or if its because of going off the pill, or if its because I am now 33 ("they" say women peek in their 30's)...But holy hell, the drive is unreal!!! I feel sooo sorry in some ways for the next guy Im with cause I am gonna tear him up!!!!!!! I can sooo see that old Billy Idol video Craddle of Love with tha sexy chick terrorizing that geeky guy who was hiding from her in the kitchen...thats gonna be me.... :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
