I am going to have my surgery at the end of next month. Being overweight puts a damper on your sex life for many reasons. So my question is after the surgery does your libido come back to life?

I was just talking about this the other day. At 275pds I had no desire to do anything. Now at 195 the urge has come back. I'm not sure if that is because I have more confidence and feel better about myself or if there is some internal hormonal changes.

The lack of libido was certainly an issue (for quite some time) prior to surgery. It's, um...back :rolleyes:

@?slimsoon: I think it's a combination of various things, being more comfortable with your body is one, energy and stamina definitely go up, I've been on testosterone for two years now and as I lose weight I'm gonna ask to cut back on the dosage, my workouts are getting insane and I feel a bit more aggressive at times, and to put it tactfully and respectfully, I think part of the whole renewed interest and libido is also due to "more options" to have fun with ???? I hope I didn't offend my fellow losers,

I def agree with your last point regarding options. I haven't dated in 3 years and tonight will make my 4th date this summer. I went from not thinking about intimacy at all to now thinking about it a lot.

I never thought of it that way, I was leaning toward a passive reference to ................well let's just say moving in ways you couldn't or haven't in years or as king Julian says

"I like to move it move it"

      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.
