Change of "Appetite"

I was banded on Oct 10, 08 since then I have lost 87 lbs. Since I started on this journey I have tried to not eat emotionally. When I get hungry, I ask myself "Are you really hungry or is something else going on?"

 

Since I started this process another "appetite" has developed... for sex. Is this normal?:)

Thats halarious! Im sure its probably because you are feeling really good about yourself and your success. I think it is completely normal.

It sounds like you're happy with yourself and your new body. I think a better body image certainly effects your drive and that's a good thing! Congratulations!

I'm certainly not suggesting this is you, but I will add for others that read this that transfer addictions are a serious concern after WLS and I have read threads of people for whom this has become a serious concern/problem for them. Just an FYI.
