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.... :)

      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.
