It does!

Seriously tho after banding I was really self-concious and kept reading all of these posts from women who were banded then poof they were preggers! I'm baby-phobic so i was avoiding my DH like the plague! we finally had to talk about it becuz he was starting to freak out and I finally told him of my craziness and paranoia. But Losing 40 pounds REALLY has made a difference!

BIG difference!! Your body does things, and moves in ways it was not able. It boosts your self confidence, as well.

There is also a technical side of it, that deals with the fact that fat cells hold estrogen, and as you lose weight, your hormones ARE in fact affected!

I found it to be a wonderful, unexpected bonus to the weight loss!!!

Oh my goodness... my fiance has to go to work to escape me sometimes. With the loss (and I've lost about 40 pounds since July), I've become almost acrobatic. You'll eventually be less self consicious (sp), and you'll both be very, very happy.

I think my sex drive has always remained normal, but it is very hard to feel comfortable naked when you know are way too heavy. I definitely feel more confident now. My husbands has totally increased though! He was never "unattracted" to me, but now he is like a fiend, lol.

My husband use to call me a "rabbit". Since I gained the last 50 pounds, my sex drive went into Low Drive. I told my doc. it's like they shot my crotch with novicane. He said that happens with additional layers of fat, weight causing fatigue and the first thing to go are the fun things (he has a great smile) Hopefully he reports things should return to normal when I start losing the weight.

Ok girls, I'm starting to think there is something really wrong with me. I have lost 55 pounds, but I still do not have much of a sex drive. My husband is a horndog these days, but I'm not feeling it for some reason. What is wrong with me?

      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.
