Not in the mood -warning TMI



Recommended Posts

Luve is actually quite detrimental, as it only addresses the physiological results and not the underlying causes. I exercise (zumba, body pump, tango, pilates) about 6 times a week, I'm cutting back the carbs that have crept in, have become diligent about my Vitamins Protein count and Water again, yet nothing. I've kinda always been a little smug over my innate sensuality and my ability to experience eroticism and now, I feel as sexual and have about as juicy a responce as prairie grass. =( =( And that situaiton with the old flame was AWESOME!! He was quite ... goal oriented, and fun was had don't get me wrong, but I know what my body is capable of and I was nowhere near even middle of my range.

Sorry for sticking my nose in here to what may be none of a males business, but maybe all of the exercising is geting in the way of normal estrogen production.

My wife is a fit person and has always been so even when I weight 470lbs she was 110lbs and 5'-4" tall. She had an episode while training to run several 5k's where she lost all libido....and was she ever frustrated!!!!! it just would not work.!!!!..She eventually went to her Gyno doctor who helped her pin point that all of the increased training she was doing had her production of testosterone and estrogen all messed up and this made her feel less like having sex. I am not advocating for you to stop exercising just saying you might want to bring it down a notch to see if anything changes.. SHe backed off for 2 weeks and bingo bango right back in the groove... Hope this helps...

Testerone is not just for the boys you know ladies! I've been on a cream for several years now and love it so much I brought my gyno flowers. She laughed and said she'd gotten them for delivering babies before, but never for helping someone have better sex again. It has to be made at a pharmacy that can compound their own drugs - your doc can usually tell you where to take your prescription. It's been a life saver for me. I had a hysterectomy at age 41 and went many years of not caring if I ever had sex again. Now that I'm on the cream, I MAKE the hubby save a date night for me each week no matter what. And then there's always Humpday midweek you know.....:rolleyes:

      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.
