Sex addiction?



Recommended Posts

We talked about this (addictions) in one of our support groups. It was really on target, we are trying to get one addiction under control and another pops up, so we mentally are looking for something to replace our old food addiction with. The phsycologists said this is perfectly normal. We just have to treat it like that food addiction to be able to keep it in check. Sometimes we give in, sometimes we have the willpower. So to Speak. But yes, I think it has to do with the tetesterone in our bodies. it is a good thing, yes. Burn more calories. Add that to a CPap machine and deep sleep, and the dreams are all night long. We have two teenagers in the house, so our alone time is few and far between. Unable to be as spontaneous as we would like to be right now. So things just build up and etc. We all know how that turns out. I am almost 11 months out down 62 lbs. and loving my band....:biggrin:

i have thought about that too. I think this is all about feeling like life has been passing me by all these years with me not being happy with myself, Now I am more confindant and I feel like I am not getting any younger and while I am still feeling somewhat young and attractive I want to LIVE again and ENJOY my sexlife.

Oh my! I'm not banded yet. I will be on 12/23. Is this what I have to look forward to? I've always been a sexual person. Can it get any better?:confused_smile:

Yes it gets better. I think the main differnce in my sex life now is being able to express with confidence to my husband what I need in my life sexually. NOW. IF I get a responce IS ANOTHER STORY.

Since last night was the first time I had read on this particular thread, I've thought some more about it. I appreciate a previous post about the addictive discussion in a support meeting. No doubt that most of us who are large or have been large have the tendency to be addicted to food, so it makes perfect sense that we would transfer our addiction somewhere else. We just have to make sure we stay healthy in the adjustment to new ones, away from food. Now I understand more why I went crazy riding a bicycle all the time this past summer! My husband sure appreciated this thread last night!:confused_smile:

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
