Are you becoming more aroused?



Recommended Posts

I've found that since my banding, I've been becoming increasingly sexually aroused more and more. Sometimes I just can't get enough! My poor wife is complaining now! Are other people experiencing this at all?

Well, I'm still preband but I sure hope so!!! I'm glad you are the age you are, I'm 48 and was beginning to think it was over...lol

I am being banded on Jan 29 in Mexico, but I'll let you know if my hubby starts to complain~

I read this thread and immediately knew it was you. You crack me up:biggrin1:

I think its a natural reactio, you are feeling better aboiut yourself. I bet you are more comfortable in your body and have more energy

I also bet your new confidence and boosted self esteem make you more desirable to your wife too!

Whatever the reason, enjoy!!!!

Not more aroused. Never had a lack of arousal, but found that as I gained weight, there were some things I just couldn't comfortably do any longer. Now that the size is greatly reduced I'm rediscovering a whole new world of positions and ways to get all tangled up that my size kept me from being able to do for way too long. And DH loves it. "We haven't done THAT since we were dating!"

Oh yeah, and since DH and I are both banded and losing, it's one of my favorite NSVs. And it's a lot more fun then it was before.

Hormones are stored in fat cells... as the fat cells break down - you get flooded with whatever happens to be stored in there...

Just like being a teenager again, huh?

Have fun with it!

Body fat stores estrogen. The more fat you have, the more estrogen you have. This is why obese women are at higher risks for developing problems related to hormonal factors, including fibroid tumors, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, amenorrhea, breast cancer - even things like blood clots.

What specifically are you wanting to know more about?

      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.
