So has anyone else had this happen? I'm 6 weeks postop, 51lbs down and halfway to goal. And for the last 4 days, all I can think about is sex. I could care less about food lately, just keep daydreaming about sex. Which is especially difficult since my husband deployed 2 weeks ago for a 9 month deployment.

I'm worried that my food addiction has transferred into the beginnings of what could be a sex addiction. (Wouldn't be the first time either. From 18-22 I was super skinny, and VERY sexually active. I was also addicted to shopping at the time) So I'm concerned that I'm going to turn to either sex or shopping and both would be detrimental to my marriage (we paid of all our debt, and our debt free since 2010). Anyone else have this happen post surgery?? Anyone have suggestions? Will it pass? Or will I just become more and more sexually frustrated the skinnier I get??!!! Thanks y'all!

You should be fine just use a sex toy until hubby comes back home.

I haven't had WLS yet but I had a hysterectomy last summer and I did the same thing. I was obsessed for about 4 weeks or more.

You look fantastic!!!

I'm not addicted to sex yet, but I think about it often. If your hubby is away, I'm a Pure Roamnce consultant. I can get you something to take the edge off

Please believe me when I say.. chatting and flirting and cybersex with other guys is not the answer. I did that during my first marriage.. you start off thinking it won't hurt anything because you don't know the guy.. it's impersonal... but it gets personal real quick... and my marriage ended because of it. So, please don't succumb to that temptation.

Sex toys, skype with your hubby... but keep it focused on him.

You look great, by the way.

I'm happy to report that with the help of OA, my higher power and my hubs, I have overcome this problem. Do I still enjoy the glances from people when I'm out? Sure. But it ends there. So grateful for all of your support!

Yay... So glad you got it under control!

My doctor wanted me to get on Birth control preferably the IUD. He basically told me the hormones will drive me off the roof! lol

It can also be in the head. hormones, you look good and mentally/physically he wont be there to satisfy that touch. You;ll be fine. My friends sends her hubby naughty pics and i think they skype sex alot too lol. it's all in the imagination. Good Luck!
