Sex After Weight Is Gone?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone's significant other admitted they find them more attractive after the weight was lost?

Once upon a time I did lose 60 lbs on jenny craig's diet, and my hubby was absolutely annoying with all his compliments and flirtiness. I look forward to that again, believe it or not! LOL! When you feel attractive, others will find you more attractive-I truly believe this!

My husband grabs my arm all the time to look at me and tell me I am "hot". I appreciate the comments and love that he notices.

And it works for the men too. My wife says I am sexy. I am a hunk, not a chunk.

And we have been making the dogs leave the bedroom a whole lot more often - Hey, no one needs an audience that can not appreciate my best moves!!

Wow-hearing this gives me hope! I am so looking forward to my husband complimenting me on my hot, new body and trying to get me into bed all of the time! Woohoo!

My husband said today that he loved my body before but since I am so much happier, that's all the better for him! I love good men.

My husband loved/chased after me before, and it's MUCH WORSE now, LOL!! We're both sleevers, and I know from personal experience that yes, I definitely loved him and his body before, but both are so much more fun now! We've talked about it a lot--it's a combination of better energy, better mood, better self-image, more confidence, plus from a purely mechanical perspective, we just seem to work together better, if you get my drift. ;)

So yeah, it's something to look forward to, for sure.

So true about others connecting with your confidence. I'm down about 40 lbs in 9 weeks and, while I was confident before, I'm so much more comfortable in my skin and am noticing people taking more notice. As for sex, I'm slightly envious of you marrieds...as a single girl who's not trying to sleep with everyone she sees I'm starting to feel quite frustrated!! :)

When you weigh 334 lbs sex is not fun, it is a job and one that would wear me out! I am looking forward to making up for lost time with my wonderful husband, he has stuck by me when I didn't want him to touch me because I was embarrassed of how big I was, I have told him that I hope I wear him out wanting sex more now and he said "Honey, you just go right ahead and try".

      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.
