I'm not a lady, but I'm looking forward to not crushing my girlfriend once I've dropped the weight.

Also, since guys tend to be the more... uh, ACTIVE ones during sex, I'm looking forward to not feeling like I'm going to have a heart attack mid-coitus. That's a bit of a buzz kill...

Just to let you know, I can completely relate. Plus, I'm one of the few women in the world that believes anything over a 20-30 minutes in one session is considered exercise, and it loses it's appeal.

This site is fairly graphic, NOT PORN, but it is cartoony figures showing positions and etc.

I find it very useful, and especially now that I've lost weight and can achieve a lot of these, it has helped our sex life tremendously.

Ladies, excuse the newbie, but you have just made my day! I'm going to save it for a surprise for my hubby to find out...but I am sure glad to know I'll feel enough better about myself that I won't be ashamed or embarrassed for him to look at me anymore. He has never said anything but that he thinks I'm beautiful, but I feel uncomfortable, still.

The poor self esteem that can result from overweight and obesity is a big deal, and should not be written off.

But it's also important to remember that overweight and obesity can cause real, physiological problems that can lead to reduced sex drive and reduced sexual performance. Obesity reduces stamina and physically complicates sex -- even if you and your partner are the most willing partners around, if you're in pain or out of breath, it gets hard to maintain the mood.

Add to that the evidence that obesity disrupts hormonal function significantly -- I don't know about women, but in men, fat cells aromatize testosterone to estrogen, which is a Very Bad Thing for sexuality in men -- and you begin to see that it's not just "all in your head." Obesity is, to some degrees, a sex killer!

In fact, despite all of the fat acceptance sites saying otherwise (and, for the record, I'm pro-fat acceptance... I just think that you have to be realistic), I'm more surprised when an obese person has a NORMAL sex life. I suspect that for many obese people like my girlfriend and I, sex just sorta drops out of the picture.

I'm really looking forward to getting that part of the picture BACK again. We're too young to be sexless!

Female sexual dysfunction has many possible symptoms and causes. Fortunately, they're almost all treatable. Communicating your concerns and understanding your body and its normal response to sexual activity are important steps toward gaining sexual satisfaction.

      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.
