plus it never hurts to spice things up a bit. you'd be surprised how a couple toys, massage oil, new lingerie, soft sheets, or some good old fashion porn can help rev the engines :) my BF and I will be visiting the Exxxotica Convention this year. :) sizzle sizzle!!!

This this this! Engaging the mind is the best way to kick-start your desire, even on a day by day basis. If you have a kink or two, explore some porn, or discover a new one. There are some fantastic sexual health toys on the market now for all genders, so doing a spot of shopping together is a fun way to build some excitement. If you're concerned about loose skin, buy a tight outfit that holds everything in but promises sexy times!

And if you don't have a plug-in electric vibrator, get one.

I feel like for most, being post op and thinner makes libido soar, but for me I feel like it's waning. [emoji20] I used to be ready to go all the time! Now I feel like I don't have the same drive as before. I am not as self conscience so I don't think it's that. I have lost 40 lbs since dec 2 and am happy about that. Has anyone else experienced this? Does sex drive come back? I thought for sure I'd have even higher libido than before.
I will say that being tired due to long work hours and such minimal calories doesn't help things. Help!

I'm the total opposite I find myself wanting it more but my fiance of 12 yrs is having issues medically and can't seem to get in the mood and it's been this way now for a few yrs and I'm going crazy!!!!!!!!!

      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.
