How has your sex life changed since surgery/weightloss?

SERIOUS question :)

Did it get better? worse?

easier. it got easier.

it's always been good, but the easier it gets to do the things I want to do, the more likely and more often I am inclined to do them. the more often I do them, the better it gets.

very happy with all the ways WLS has improved my life, this area right along with everything else.

Me too. It's easier, I can navigate more positions, and I feel better about myself and not so self-conscious. We even leave the light on now.

I'm pre surgery but I have to say that my wife majored in psychology with a large portion of the major being dedicated to abnormal sexualality. I swear that I'm a thesis paper in the making. We are quite passionate and sex is amazing. If it gets better than this I don't know if I will be able to walk again!

I've lost all sex drive it seems. Could be because I'm still early out. (5 weeks today).

I think it's because our hormones are all out of whack..I'm in the same boat as you at 5 months out. I'm hoping it returns soon

@@Tssiemer1 congrats on your surgery- I try to keep up with all the posts but I must have missed yours when you had your surgery. So happy for you. If I remember correctly you had a few bumps in the road that delayed your surgery a little bit (apologize if this wasn't you- I try to keep everyone's info stored in my brain and it's not as young as it used to be). So glad you are post op and doing good!!

Sorry for hijacking this thread!

BTW- sex is better than ever after surgery/weight loss.

Yeah I had kidney problems. But I finally got it!

Well, I'm unhappy that all my parts are now... deflated.

On the other hand, I can easily put my ankles behind my head. So that's a win.

WHOA!!!

It's better in every aspect.

Being all I can be and all that...........

It's simply not often enough and I find myself behaving more like a bull in a china shop.

For me ... it's ... worse :(

Before .. I just didn't want to be seen because of the weight ...

and now ...

I don't want to be seen because of all the skin hanging everywhere ...

Ugh.

My poor husband ... he doesn't know which way to go ...

Thank God he's patient ...

I hope I get a bigger sex drive but I feel like I make feel like mrskarenc2008 I don't think I will want him to see the skin I do t like it now so afterwards it's going to be worse but I need to stop thinking like that because I have a super supportive husband who loves me for me he has loves me at my highest 350 to my lowest 200 he is the best good luck to everyone

It's amazing the difference you get when you lose a big chunk of yourself.... I feel better about myself and have more energy and stamina. My wife and I have always had a healthy intimate life - so good in fact that I didn't think it could get better - I WAS WRONG!!!! Definitely one of the top NSVs of WLS!.
