That sex subject again...



Recommended Posts

I posted a thread a week or more ago about losing my sex drive completely since losing weight. It was suggsted I visit my Dr and have some tests run...well I just wanted to let te people know who ar ein the same position as me that I went off the pill at my Drs suggestion till we ran some tests as I was on a very strong pill for heavy bleeding. She thought that since I was so much bigger when I started on it that I didnt have as many side effects but now that I have lost weight I am getting more of the side effects more pronounced.

Results:

IT WAS THE PILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont know if hearing her say that or my mind playing games on me but since I went off and found out it was the pill my sex drive is back and BAD!!!! Only thing is now I have to use alternate measures such as those yucky raincoat thingys....but anyway I just wanted to let others know if you are on the pill and have lost alot of weight make sure that dosage of pill is still appropriate for you and that you arent experiencing bad side effects that you dont need to...either go for a lower dose pill or find alternate protection.

Look out Heathergurl here I come :)

That's great, Kellie! I'm sure your SO will be thrilled! :)

Your point is very well taken, though. Significant weight loss changes more than just our physical size, and anyone on regular medication should have the dosage checked and monitored. In addition, anyone using a diaphragm for birth control should get re-sized after each 20 or 30 lbs lost, since our internal dimensions change as well.

YaYYYY Kel! (and YaYYY Paul hehe). That's fantastic news :)

I was having the same issue when you posted that thread, but since going on the Zoloft, my sex drive seems to have increased ten fold *shrugs* .. guess I'm in the 1% that it actually does that for lol, but I'm not complaining.

I dont know if Im in the same boat or not. I was on the pill for the longest time and experienced mild side effects....nothing that a good ummmm how do you say it delicately......ummm a tad of um KY wouldnt help. Okay there, enuff said about that. But since I have been off the pill...HOLY TOLEDO..I dont know if its because I haven't been with a man since I left my husband....or if its because of going off the pill, or if its because I am now 33 ("they" say women peek in their 30's)...But holy hell, the drive is unreal!!! I feel sooo sorry in some ways for the next guy Im with cause I am gonna tear him up!!!!!!! I can sooo see that old Billy Idol video Craddle of Love with tha sexy chick terrorizing that geeky guy who was hiding from her in the kitchen...thats gonna be me.... :)

      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... :(
