Hugs him, kiss him and flirt,(prob should only flirt with him I imagine haha):ohmy: even if you don't feel like it, it will return.

Don't forget. Your estrogen and hormones have been stored in your fat cells. They are disappeariing, so your hormone levels will be in flux for a while. It's my undertanding they level out after a while. Make sure you're getting enough nutrients and plenty of exercise and sleep. Fatigue can do nasty things to a person. Stess is another sabatour of romance. Offer to give eachother a massage. Relax and see where it goes..... I have the opposite problem. Mine is off the charts, but I'm having issues with my hubby's new found interest......

Hi,

Have you begun any new medications in the time since your surgery? I was on an anti-depressant (Lexapro) that completely killed my sex drive.

just my depo shot which i have been on for the better part of 10 years so maybe the combo of that with the surgery is doing it

Gilliebean, I'm in the same boat. I was ALWAYS more into sex then my DH before being banded but now I couldn't care less most times and HE is the one who is into it more now. Part of me doesn't want to explore the desires because, to tell the truth, my dark fear is that in the future I might do something I might regret. Mostly, tho, I feel that my hormones are just down and that's ok. Most of my resources are going into myself making me a better person. I'm enjoying that for once in my life. Sexual desire I've felt many times but I've never enjoyed my changes as much as I do now so I think I'll just keep enjoying them. I'm sure sooner or later my desire will come back.
