Sex drive

I feel like for most, being post op and thinner makes libido soar, but for me I feel like it's waning. :( I used to be ready to go all the time! Now I feel like I don't have the same drive as before. I am not as self conscience so I don't think it's that. I have lost 40 lbs since dec 2 and am happy about that. Has anyone else experienced this? Does sex drive come back? I thought for sure I'd have even higher libido than before.

I will say that being tired due to long work hours and such minimal calories doesn't help things. Help!

    Don't stress, the body does a lot of freaky things when its faced with drastic changes. Talk to your GYN next time your in. There have been some great breakthroughs and she might be able to guide you
