Low sex drive

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 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!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
