What's up everybody? Well, I was approved by my insurance company last Monday for my surgery, & I get banded on 2/13! Anyway, I used to have a CRAZY sex drive, but the bigger I've gotten, the more I've lost my drive. I'm 28 & I'm wondering (moreso from a guys perspective; but definitely am curious about female insight) if the drive comes back w/ the loss of weight & if you are having some of the best sex of your life since you're performing w/ a smaller version of your former self?

OMG! YES..my sex drive has gone through the roof!

This is gonna sound horrible, but I go to like walmart or something and a cute guy will walk by and I turn and check him out and think Yeah I could totally tap that! lol

So yes drive is through the roof, as for the rest, well I have this personal goal of not attempting to "make up" for lost time while I was fat :eek:

Hahaha! That's hilarious. . .I think as a guy the hope is to be able to make up for lost time:lol: Might not be the best thing to do, but hey, I look forward to some incredible passion!

I am still pre-band... And my sex drive has went down a little, but not a lot (and its still really high like 2 or 3 days without it and I feel like I am going to die) so I'm thinking that if it gets better after the band I'll be a nympho LOL

. . .and if anybody tells you being a nympho is a bad thing. . .they must be practicing abstainance!

sex addiction is one thing I wont mind transferring my food addiction for. and since getting my bodybugg it is fun to see how many calories different positions burn.

One more reason for me to buy one of those hahaha

I always had a strong sex drive. No real issues there, but DH tells me I appear to be far more confident now than I ever was (in bed that is)

Sex sure is a lot more fun at 107lbs than it was at 297, thats for sure...

Oh gosh I sure hope the sex drive comes back. I can go months without feeling anything…

It sucks!!!

That's funny. . .but it's actually a good thought. Lots of options in Bloomington who'd love to take advantage of your addiction w/ you! Plus, managing a sports bar. . .you'll be beating guys away w/ a stick.

This is such a relief to read...my drive has gone waaaaay down along with self confidence and all the other stuff that comes with not liking yourself because you dont think you're attractive anymore. I know my hubby loves me and he assures me that no matter how much I weigh he'll always want to be with me. So that's definitely helpful...but there's always that nagging little thing in the back of your head thinking..."how can he even stand to look at me when there are way more attractive specimen out there..." My drive is one thing I'm certainly looking forward to getting back...thanks for the post Indyguydon!

Yeah thats how it is, or at least was before i started to lose weight. It got to the point where i never wanted to have sex, bc i didnt feel sexy. After I started losing and was able to dress nicer and cuter and gain more self confidence, up went my sex drive..this is of course not including the period of my life where I was constantly having sex to make myself feel wanted and pretty...anyways as the weight goes down, dont be surprised if the sex goes up

The first 3 months my sex drive was outrageous. But I had to go off of my birth control for surgery, and I have come to realize I think B/C for me is an anti-sex. Heh heh. Since being back on my B/C sex drive died down again.

Kimmie K. . .trust me, if your husband says he loves you & will always want you, you've got a good start. With you being married, at least you do have some security in that you are w/ somebody who already loves you. After you get banded & supermodel-looking guys are stalking you, at least you'll know you're w/ somebody who loved you unconditionally! You guys will probably have some of the wildest days/nights of passion after you get banded & begin to feel good about you again. You're like a good investment. . .he loves you now & will continue to do so, but after you get back to feeling your best, he's gonna get a HUGE pay off!

I've always said that if after losing weight some guy that knew me when I was bigger tries getting with me it would be a nono because if they weren't into me when I was big then I don't want them. :biggrin:
