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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
