Sexuality and the sleeve



Recommended Posts

Sex was good before I had surgery....but OMG - it is fantabulous now. I am a lot more secure with myself....I just feel better about myself and everything is just better. Tiffikins said something about stamina....yes! I've been married for 31 years, I'm 51 and it's never been this good. I seem to be in the mood frequently!! :D

I have also found that my sex drive increased since my weight loss. I saw on Oprah that for every 30 to 50 lbs of weight loss you gain 1" in penis size so in my case.........

All jokes aside I think that the weight loss has helped my physical ability to perform. Now if I can just find a partner......

I wish I was having an over abundance of libido hormones, I tell you I had figured that the more I lost and the increase in energy I have from physical activitiy that I would feel even more in the mood, but alas nope ...I swear it is like nothing going on down there...not interested nothing. My poor hubby is used to us being more intimate and now he can barely sit in the same room without salivating (it is cute) but he is really really enamored by my slimming shape and even though he always wanted me before it is like double whamy now and I just feel NOTHING in the way of desire...It has actually been getting me down I want to feel that again, jeesh I adore the man. Thank god my hubby is understanding and knows it is probably just a phase or hormonal thing and it will level out. GOD I HOPE IT DOES.

Any all natural things to try like herbs etc?

You can talk to your Dr or gyn and they make a creme I believe out of estrogen that should help.

      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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
