Significant weight loss=Better sex life?



Recommended Posts

My sexual appetite has weaned over the last couple of years. Wondering if my size might have something to do with it. Being freshly banded I am wondering if this may be another plus to shedding lbs. I do know I'll be more confident, be able to get into some different positions and possibly gain a little size, which would be awesome! Any other comments or thoughts? :wink:

Yes you will find thier is a difference especially if you start to work out etc. I believe that your testosterone levels increase as your fat decreses. So Enjoy the ride.

Been banded for 2 months. My sex life has improved 100%. Me and the wife are loving it.

I have to be honest, weight loss hasnt had a positive effect for me in that regard, my libido has continued to decline.

Dont get me wrong, I do enjoy sex, but were it up to me, I could easily go months without it. I never feel horny these days, ever. I go to bed at night fairly exhuasted, three kids, full time work in a new career, physically tired from running/exercise etc and I'm also 42, probably premenopausal.

I second this motion. lol.

Anyway, mine has gone up and down, but with added exercise, your testosterone level WILL rise. I mean, I have pre-med school stress too, but still. haha.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
