Anyone Else Having an Increased Sex Drive?



Recommended Posts

Yes I am so "horny" I am bouncing off the walls. It started right after my second fill. I am insatiable. I feel like what I think a teenage boy would feel like in school well when he well you know....................................

I am happy to hear that I am not alone.

I started my pre-op liquid diet today (surgery is friday). I told my husband this morning that to keep my mind off of food in the evenings we are going to have to have lots of sex! He said, "No problem".

He has his first consult on Jan 4 with his lap band doc. Hopefully he'll get schedule for surgery early February or sooner. We've already discussed how much better sex is going to be when I loose 60 pounds and he looses 100!

Rabbits is right! :clap2:

I thought that I was the only one feeling like this. For a man of 50 yrs old I should be loosing my sex drive, but that is definitely not the case. I am driving myself crazy!

Unfortnately my wife who had surgery the same day is not having the same effects.

I don't know what to do. Sex is all I seem to be thinking about. Everytime I see a woman that is the first thing that comes to mind. I guess that I should be happy at least that it is what I think about when I see women and not men if you know what I mean.

I guess that I will have to keep taking matters into my own hands if you know what I mean.

I know of what you speak.

I went from 'could'a been a nun' to 'Got my Sexy Back'.

I read somewhere that not only is it the benefit of feeling better slimmer, but there are actually hormones releases in the fat stores that increase our sexual desire.

Can't remember where I read it, but I believe it. This can't all be in my mind.

Ok now I am feeling more out of place than ever. It seems like it is just women that are getting there groove back. What about the guys out there? Am I the only one. I am starting to feel like a pervert feeling like this.

It is so funny, with my first husband I hated sex and with my husband now, I have been a horny little girl since day one, and that was ten years ago.. I'm always ready to get the nasty going..

Sounds like a good explanation to me. For a good time, Shop at your Fat Stores. :omg:

Your hormones might be a little out of wack, too, Lovingwhatis. If it is really bothering you perhaps you should find a good Naturalpath (sp?) in your area who can check your homone levels. My sex drive gets kicked into overdrive around my period. A male friend of mine says my sex drive mirrors a man's at that time. I was told that my testoserone is a bit too high. The Dr wanted to take care of that issue but I say no way! As long as I'm not growing facial hair I'm ok with it! LOl Or maybe you are just feeling better about yourself because you are eating better. Feeling better = feeling sexier. Or a combo of things. If it isn't a problem then roll with it!

Oh I have no problem with it. It rocks. Hubby loves it too!

(and I have always had the pre-menstrual and pre-ovulation increase in sex drive, too) Just wanted to see if others were having the same cool experience. I am convinced that the change in diet is a huge impact. I haven't lost a lot, so I really think that it is due to in large part to the fact that I am not self-medicating anymore with nasty food. It was the last addiction I let go of, and it was easier than I thought.

And Hormones.. those little devils, thanks for the information! at 46, the peri-menopause experience is creeping in for sure. I won't use synth hormones tho, I agree with you - the homeopathic remedies I use, like Sepia for hot flashes and Black Cohosh help more for me. Others seem to be really helped by the synthetics.. I love all our options!

      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.
