So has anyone else had this happen? I'm 6 weeks postop' date=' 51lbs down and halfway to goal. And for the last 4 days, all I can think about is sex. I could care less about food lately, just keep daydreaming about sex. Which is especially difficult since my husband deployed 2 weeks ago for a 9 month deployment.

I'm worried that my food addiction has transferred into the beginnings of what could be a sex addiction. (Wouldn't be the first time either. From 18-22 I was super skinny, and VERY sexually active. I was also addicted to shopping at the time) So I'm concerned that I'm going to turn to either sex or shopping and both would be detrimental to my marriage (we paid of all our debt, and our debt free since 2010). Anyone else have this happen post surgery?? Anyone have suggestions? Will it pass? Or will I just become more and more sexually frustrated the skinnier I get??!!! Thanks y'all!

You should be fine just use a sex toy until hubby comes back home.

I haven't had WLS yet but I had a hysterectomy last summer and I did the same thing. I was obsessed for about 4 weeks or more.

I'm not addicted to sex yet, but I think about it often. If your hubby is away, I'm a Pure Roamnce consultant. I can get you something to take the edge off ;)

Please believe me when I say.. chatting and flirting and cybersex with other guys is not the answer. I did that during my first marriage.. you start off thinking it won't hurt anything because you don't know the guy.. it's impersonal... but it gets personal real quick... and my marriage ended because of it. So, please don't succumb to that temptation.

Sex toys, skype with your hubby... but keep it focused on him.

You look great, by the way.

I'm happy to report that with the help of OA, my higher power and my hubs, I have overcome this problem. Do I still enjoy the glances from people when I'm out? Sure. But it ends there. So grateful for all of your support!

My doctor wanted me to get on Birth control preferably the IUD. He basically told me the hormones will drive me off the roof! lol

It can also be in the head. hormones, you look good and mentally/physically he wont be there to satisfy that touch. You;ll be fine. My friends sends her hubby naughty pics and i think they skype sex alot too lol. it's all in the imagination. Good Luck!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
