Serious question, serious replies please!

Any other sleevers lose their sex drive after surgery? I'm two months post op and don't get turned on like I used to.. I lack the desire for sex now!

I am in a relationship and aside from the lack of sex, we don't have any problems.

Anybody else going through this?

There was a brief period. I attributed this to the fact that when you're rapidly losing weight your hormones get whacky for a bit. So it could be that. Give it a bit and it should balance out.

I've always had a much higher sex drive than my husband, and it's only now at about 4.5 months out it is coming back. I just felt "flat" about a lot of stuff, including sex. We're getting along fine, and he's supportive of the surgery (and appreciative of the results!) but I just was "meh." IDK why. I didn't have any hangry outbursts or crazy behavior (that I know of, anyway, LOL,) but the sex drive took a hit.

I, too, attribute it to the hormones. It is coming back slowly, but it's disheartening when everyone else is raving about being horny teenagers now!

I will say, when we DO fool around, it's a lot more fun;-)

I'm nearly 11 weeks post op and I couldn't care less for sex lol.
I'm flat , unable to laugh and very irritable.
I can't be bothered with it

I'm just 4 weeks out and had my gallbladder out at the same time so don't know that being active at this time would be a good idea for me but as for do I feel like being with my husband. Nope I do not. Too much other stuff going on and bless him he's so kind and patient with me about it. We are older too in our 50's so that also plays a factor. We're still quite affectionate with one another and spend time together talking and just had a date night out at the movies last night. Am hoping once am healed well and the hormones settle down we'll get back to our usual loving selves!!

Thank you all for your input!
