did anyone else's libido take a nosedive after surgery? I'm four weeks post-op now, and I could not care less about my sex life! (Much to my poor husband's chagrin! ) Will it come back? Is this even surgery-related, or am I more likely just hormonally out of whack? I've never had what you'd call a real active libido, but it's never been this bad. Urgh. Thoughts appreciated!

I think I have started to feel sexier since losing the 40# that I have so far so my sex drive has gone up. But I have also noticed that for the past couple of months I have had a serious (and very unusual for me) craving for yoghurt! I had not eaten yohurt much in YEARS and then all of a sudden it is a gotta have it food for me. I wonder if my body is compensating for something...

My favorite Breakfast is fruit at the bottom yoghurt with granola mixed in (and let sit for a few minutes to moisten up so that it is easier to eat). I find that this combo is really good for keeping me *regular,* solving that uncomfortable problem that has plagued me from the day I had the surgery.

As to your latest post... I wonder if your hubby isn't whining because this is all "real" now that the surgery is done and he is starting to feel threatened that you will get skinny and _____ (fill in his fear here)...

It never helps but if he thinks "your jobs" around the house is too hard it should be noted that he should appreciate you more for all that you DO DO when you are able to AND how much MORE you will be able to accomplish when you have lost enough weight to start feeling comfortable doing it! You have to be careful with that line and use it wisely - you will know when.

Perhaps if you buy a sexy nighty to Celebrate a WL milestone and make a show of it he will be more excited about your WL and quit his b@tch'in... Make it all about what is good for him. IE - good behavior helps you lose weight and feel better about yourself and you reward that with some naughtyness of your own that will tickle his fancy. , you'd be surprised how well that can work on a whiney bellyaching spouse!
