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 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... :(
