I am going to have my surgery at the end of next month. Being overweight puts a damper on your sex life for many reasons. So my question is after the surgery does your libido come back to life?

I was just talking about this the other day. At 275pds I had no desire to do anything. Now at 195 the urge has come back. I'm not sure if that is because I have more confidence and feel better about myself or if there is some internal hormonal changes.

The lack of libido was certainly an issue (for quite some time) prior to surgery. It's, um...back :rolleyes:

@?slimsoon: I think it's a combination of various things, being more comfortable with your body is one, energy and stamina definitely go up, I've been on testosterone for two years now and as I lose weight I'm gonna ask to cut back on the dosage, my workouts are getting insane and I feel a bit more aggressive at times, and to put it tactfully and respectfully, I think part of the whole renewed interest and libido is also due to "more options" to have fun with ???? I hope I didn't offend my fellow losers,

I def agree with your last point regarding options. I haven't dated in 3 years and tonight will make my 4th date this summer. I went from not thinking about intimacy at all to now thinking about it a lot.

I never thought of it that way, I was leaning toward a passive reference to ................well let's just say moving in ways you couldn't or haven't in years or as king Julian says

"I like to move it move it"

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
