Weight And Sex Drive?



Recommended Posts

Ave any of you post-op sleevers noticed a change in your sex drive after losing the weight?

My sex drive has been at zero since I got heavy and it's really taking a toll on my relationship with my fiancé. I'm really hoping that dropping some serious weight will bring back my sex drive.

Oh dear goodness, yes!

My libido is on steroids since after the first 40lbs I lost....I'm sure it doesn't help that my husband and I are still waiting for immigration to process, so he had to go back home to Canada after my surgery....I feel like I almost need some salt peter >.< It's distracting.

The more you lose the more you want it and the better it gets. I think the weight loss brings out the inner goddess/beast...LOL

I am so glad you asked this! I swear my husband is supporting the surgery in hopes that our sex life increases. When I asked him today what he was thinking about after we left my preop appt, he says "how soon after you come home can we try? It's not like when we had the baby was it?!". I died laughing. So I hope it does because I will have a very devastated hubby moping around all the time other wise.

Good to know. I do okay dating, but sometimes just having him see me naked makes me so uncomfortable I find a reason to end the relationship before it ever gets that far.

I hope so I'm waiting for approval but only being able to have sex in two positions with hubby gets boring...can't wait to ride the bronco like i use to when i was in my 20's..and other stuff lol :wub:

oh the hormones were crazy in the first 4-5 months after surgery and it really was a bummer to be single through that! =) it's become a little more manageable and only truly irritating half my monthly cycle. I get at least two weeks out of every four that I don't feel like a teen-age boy!

I can tell you that at 20 mths out the drive is going high. Makes my husband a happy camper. He wants kids and was fine and happy until the dr said sex every 48 hours lol. I haven't seen him bummed like that since he was told we had to wait until I got my drain out for the sleeve. But it does feel so much better and it's fun to try new things. I hope you have some fun :D

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
