sex life after wls

[Christi85 24]

How has surgery changed your sex life? Just curious. I have a friend who said she lost all desire. I'm still early out so I haven't noticed any changes.

[Cherry 71]

did your friend explain why she lost her desire by any chance?

[Christi85 24]

No. She didn't say. I would assume the change in hormones would contribute. However, my initial thought was that after the weight is gone I'd be more eager to get it on... lol... but I'm not there yet... guess I'll see...

[Cherry 71]

I can say that I do feel sexier.... however, I have lost ALL sex drive. I have wondered if it was a hormone thing. My hubby is fantastic <sexually>, but I have wondered what the heck is up with me. I look amazing and can wear anything with confidence.

Wow, so I didn't hear this??? I know I don't have any sex drive now, like I could care less about sex right now. I haven't had my surgery yet, my date is set for March 5th so maybe this will be something that I have to talk to my doctor about next week. Have either of you spoke to your bariatric physician about this? I would like to know?

When I got to about 125/130 give or take I was loving it. Now at 105 I can live w/o it. Plus being separated I don't think about it.

TinyMamiOf3kids, so you didn't lose your sex drive till you got to where you are now, or is it just cause your seperated?

I lost any and all desire for the first 4 weeks after surgery.

I think hubby treatment killed my sex life.

I actually wondered if this was the case for myself too since I thought we were headed for a separation....

but it may not be. I have ZERO interest in sex - not with him, not with another, and not even with myself.

Man I am not sure what to say about this sex thing, I don't want to loose the urge to have a sex life with my hubby!!! I hope for you all that you can figure this one out!!!
