Sexuality and the sleeve



Recommended Posts

Sex was good before I had surgery....but OMG - it is fantabulous now. I am a lot more secure with myself....I just feel better about myself and everything is just better. Tiffikins said something about stamina....yes! I've been married for 31 years, I'm 51 and it's never been this good. I seem to be in the mood frequently!! :D

I have also found that my sex drive increased since my weight loss. I saw on Oprah that for every 30 to 50 lbs of weight loss you gain 1" in penis size so in my case.........

All jokes aside I think that the weight loss has helped my physical ability to perform. Now if I can just find a partner......

I wish I was having an over abundance of libido hormones, I tell you I had figured that the more I lost and the increase in energy I have from physical activitiy that I would feel even more in the mood, but alas nope ...I swear it is like nothing going on down there...not interested nothing. My poor hubby is used to us being more intimate and now he can barely sit in the same room without salivating (it is cute) but he is really really enamored by my slimming shape and even though he always wanted me before it is like double whamy now and I just feel NOTHING in the way of desire...It has actually been getting me down I want to feel that again, jeesh I adore the man. Thank god my hubby is understanding and knows it is probably just a phase or hormonal thing and it will level out. GOD I HOPE IT DOES.

Any all natural things to try like herbs etc?

You can talk to your Dr or gyn and they make a creme I believe out of estrogen that should help.

      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.
