How has your sex life changed since surgery/weightloss?



Recommended Posts

It's amazing the difference you get when you lose a big chunk of yourself.... I feel better about myself and have more energy and stamina. My wife and I have always had a healthy intimate life - so good in fact that I didn't think it could get better - I WAS WRONG!!!! Definitely one of the top NSVs of WLS!.

I never had a problem before. I wasn't ashamed of my body and for a huge person I was always really flexible. I have always been able to do the splits even at my highest weight.

I'm more self concious about my thighs and wrinkly belly than I was about my huge thighs and fat belly. Still, if I am on my back, it all looks good. :D

I have a ton more energy and a lot of stamina. I'm single, so this creates a problem because I haven't been able to find a man in my age range with the stamina I need.

Working out and being active translates to improvements in all aspects of your life.

Well my hubby requests to watch me get dressed, and has asked me if we could have sex everyday the week before my surgery. He says he thinks I'm really beautiful the way I am and feels that he will miss me so he's trying to savor every moment that I'm still (what he calls) thick as hell!

I was 120lbs when we married. I'm a very pear shaped 245lbs now. Just started my 2 week pre op liquids today.

Sex will likely be the same. Just a little more sporty. I'm a scorpio so my sex game has always been on point. My weight made me even more sensuous and uninhibited. I may convince him to attend some swinger parties... he's not as adventurous as I. But you never know.

When a man loses a lot of weight his manly bits get bigger. For me, 1 inch easily. All that fat seems to hide the manly bits. I am loving my new look. My wife thinks she is having an affair with another man. I am definitely a lot more horny now. So it's a win for both of us.

My last post in here was pre op. I'm down 78 pounds and I've gained 2.5 inches of USABLE manhood! The wife and I both agree that there is more girth as well. My sweetie is trying to wear it into a nub but it definitely isn't working. We are in bed by 9pm nightly but it isn't to sleep.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
