Well I don't think MY sex drive has gone up personally, but my DH can not keep his hands off me! :) I would say his drive has increased 10 fold...lol...I can hardly keep up! What a great change!

POSTED 3 MINUTES AGO AND I'M NOT THE FIRST TO ANSWER?!?!?!?

My sex drive hasn't changed. I'm just as insatiable now as I was before surgery. But I'm able to do things (positions) that I haven't been able to do in a LONG time... since before I gained the weight. Positions my guy LOVES, and MISSED, and now wants to do -- guess he's trying to make up for lost time! And there are positions that are just downright more comfortable now. And I'm less self-conscious than I was before. I was never a "lights off" kind of person, but at the same time I KNEW that what my guy was looking at (whether he cared or not) wasn't attractive. And yeah, I STILL know that, but it's better. :)

Just realized I have typos in my poll heading (oops!)... Am I able to edit that, or can you only go back to edit a post?

Mario Andretti = Famous Race car driver (I don't watch racing, but I'm pretty sure that's who he is, but now you have me doubting myself - lol) Can anyone else confirm?

I'm not sure you can edit a poll once there are replies, or else you could switch your "yes" to a "no" and REALLY change what people had voted for. :) Not sure tho...

My sex drive has always been rather high, but the heavier I was the less I wanted to act on it. I used to look for excuses when hubby initiated and trying anything new to spice it up, was certainly out of the question. The quicker the better I used to think.

Now that I have been losing weight and truly feel like I am on the right road, my self confidence has increased ten fold. Now instead of thinking about sex all the time, I actually act on it!

Hubby loves the band!!! LOL

Who is Mario Andretti?? :cry :help:
He was a race car driver, now is retired from driving, but owns and supervises the family racing business. Two sons, grandson and nephew, have also been successful driving race cars, although son Jeff was forced out of the driving end by injury.

My sex drive is the same as it was.

Mine is pretty much the same. Like someone else said, it is my DH that has had a major increase in his sex drive. He has always been "easily motivated" but now he is out of control, lol!

Done!

TOM

PS: Can anyone tell me why we have this minimum letter-count?

"Done" would have been a sufficient reply.

If the reason is to stop bumping, it does not work.

      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.
