Its defintely improved alot since I've lost weight - and hopefully will get even better. For a change now I"m the one who initiates it instead of dh!

Thanks for your input ladies and gentleman. I find it surprising that weight loss has decreased some people's libido. I'm glad I did the poll. (Learn something new all the time :) ).

Please keep your comments (and votes!) coming.

:D

I voted increased....it has! But I think it is because I feel less self conscious about my body, I am able as Wheetsin said to acheive many positions that I was not able to comfortably before (he is not going to be any good to me squashed!!!). And I think the more you get---the more you want, so because of that it increased.

We were told in our seminar that for most women the sex drive will either soar or plummet, due to the hormones in fat cells. He went into detail, I think I was hyperventilating, thinking of how awful that could be...thank goodness it has not been an issue!!

This will be a fun poll to watch!

Depends on the person. No medical reasons that would make you need to wait (that I know of anyway), Just be mindful. If something hurts or is uncomfortable, ease up or change positions.

If you have concerns, stick to the good old missionary position for a while!

I think for us it has changed, It was always good, but now that I feel sexier and better about myself its changed, but I also think for us, when I feel great he notices and then he craves things more..

I use to be like a rabbit until I gained so much weight. I feel so very unsexy right now and like someone shot my crotch with novacane. When I lose weight (in the past) my sex drive skyrockets. I anticipate the weekend when me and my husband don't come up for air for three days.

my sex drive has definately gone up, but then again there are more boys interested, so i dunno which is the more important variable....however, i would definately say that I have a nice drive since I have to keep 2 boys around just in case :) lol

I think when you feel better aobut yourself I think your more likely to take your clothes off. I use to dread it, even though I had a high sex drive I was more embarassed than anyhting. NOW leave the lights on the door open, who cares who hears me.... heheh

you mean sex..with another person right?

there should be a class somewhere we could take for those of us who have likely grown shut... since its been soooo long.

they...dont grow shut, REALLY.. i think....

to answer the question for myself, ive only been banded three weeks and i am a solitary practitioner, but the IDEA of it has definitely increased.

ideas...plural...

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
