I did not read all the commenst. But to the original poster, I always had a very good sex drive. I was always ready and as I started to loose weight I lost it and its still gone. My husband is getting more and more angry. I hope I get it back one day.

Haha...supposedly for every 20 lbs you lose, you gain back an inch of your penis that was lost in the fat. Bonus! LOL

Hey that's true! Everytime I pass the mirror I think "hey! where did that come from?" :tongue:

I tell my wife, "Hey! doesn't this look bigger?" She just rolls her eyes... :tongue_smilie:

But my sex drive has increased many times over so far. I think it's the self confidence issue fading away. When you start looking in the mirror and seeing a body from yesteryear and think, "damn - I look pretty good again" it drives the bus so to speak.

I have always had a healthy appetite (for food and nookie). That hasn't changed since surgery, but my husband wants it twice as often as before. The loss of inches has removed some of the padding that was in the way of deeper penetration, and my flexibility is amazing now. It is also much faster for me to reach climax now :frown:

I'm sooo glad I found this thread! I thought I was the only 28 year old with little to no sex drive! I hope to God my sex drive returns. When I was dating my husband we would have sex a least 5x a week multiple times a day, and now we're lucky to get it in once every few weeks! I hate it, hopefully it will all change after we are both banded.

This thread is cracking me up. But one thing I can vouch for to all the guys is that as you lose lbs, you gain inches, and the same the other direction. I used to be ~150 lbs lighter that I am today, and I still remember how it "used to be". I'm getting banded soon... so hopefully I'll drop 150 (or more) and relive the glory days and some.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
