Low sex drive

[dechaniz 0]

Serious question, serious replies please!

Any other sleevers lose their sex drive after surgery? I'm two months post op and don't get turned on like I used to.. I lack the desire for sex now!

I am in a relationship and aside from the lack of sex, we don't have any problems.

Anybody else going through this?

There was a brief period. I attributed this to the fact that when you're rapidly losing weight your hormones get whacky for a bit. So it could be that. Give it a bit and it should balance out.

I've always had a much higher sex drive than my husband, and it's only now at about 4.5 months out it is coming back. I just felt "flat" about a lot of stuff, including sex. We're getting along fine, and he's supportive of the surgery (and appreciative of the results!) but I just was "meh." IDK why. I didn't have any hangry outbursts or crazy behavior (that I know of, anyway, LOL,) but the sex drive took a hit.

I, too, attribute it to the hormones. It is coming back slowly, but it's disheartening when everyone else is raving about being horny teenagers now!

I will say, when we DO fool around, it's a lot more fun;-)

I'm nearly 11 weeks post op and I couldn't care less for sex lol.
I'm flat , unable to laugh and very irritable.
I can't be bothered with it

I'm just 4 weeks out and had my gallbladder out at the same time so don't know that being active at this time would be a good idea for me but as for do I feel like being with my husband. Nope I do not. Too much other stuff going on and bless him he's so kind and patient with me about it. We are older too in our 50's so that also plays a factor. We're still quite affectionate with one another and spend time together talking and just had a date night out at the movies last night. Am hoping once am healed well and the hormones settle down we'll get back to our usual loving selves!!
