How do I say this ... my sex drive is uh, in high gear, since the surgery. Did this happen to anyone else? The only word for it is ... horny, or randy, or whatever slang you can come up with to indicate the desire to get some RIGHT NOW!! My environment doesn't lend itself toward fixing this er, problem. I work with soldiers and they are rather single minded and NOT in the way that helps me, lol! I have several months before I can be back in the States and this could get tense!!:001_tongue:

HI, and welcome to estrogen overload. Our fat cells store estrogen, when we lose fat so fast, it all releases into our system. YAY for sex drive, BOO for location and situational constraints on getting it on! ! !

It doesn't let up for several months. When John came home from Afghanistan (you know that lovely transitional stage due to time zone changes, work hours, etc etc), he told me "this is more exhausting than being in the desert". Grant it, I went 6 months with NO humping. I was making up for lost time, and the surge in sex drive was a lethal combo for my poor husband ha ha ha.

LOL, whatever is causing it, try and enjoy it, even in your situation. I know mine had been lost for years. So glad I found it again!

Get a massaging showerhead ! ! ! I told everyone that I had a better relationship with my showerhead than I did with my husband during his deployment. :wink1:

Sadly, the army showerheads here are standard showerheads ... toys are an option, but there aren't good options for keeping them properly cleaned. Soldiers can get in huge trouble if caught gettin' down, so it looks like I will be watching a lot of Russell Crowe movies, sucking on sugar free lollipops, and visiting the shooting range.:)

Russell Crowe???? Surely not? Now that lovely Daniel Wroughton Craig would be a different kettle of fish, I took a fancy to him when I saw Layer Cake, do try and see it if you can.

You won't get in trouble. I think thats just something they tell you. My husband and all the rest of the guys he knew had a stack of porn in Iraq they shared. He was there for 18mo. so he had to do something!! They buy them boot leg. But good luck with that...lol:tongue_smilie:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
