Low libido after weight loss?

I'm a female and I've loss 65lbs in 9months and feel great so I know its not psychological. My thyroid was normal prior to my Lapband surgery. Since losing all this weight my libido has been at zero. Anybody feeling the same? What did you do to restore your libido?:smile2:

See your primary doc. You don't say how old you are but losing should either not impact it, or help it, not hurt it, regardless. Unless you are exercising and undereating so much that you are fatigued all the time, something else may be going on. Go get a check up.

Seriously, anyone impacted this way should go to primary (or gyn.) and get some bloodwork done. Losing large amts. of weight can definitely mess with your hormones and cause problems. Go get checked out; they need to be regulated properly for reasons beyond sex drive. :smile2:

I agree with restless monkey, this is definitely something to see the doctor about.

Hormones can be off after losing weight, it is common and people can be affected in different ways such as ultra pms, menstrual cycle changes, becoming extra fertile, etc. Hormones are also stored in fat and are released as the fat is being reduced. Simple tests by your doctor can probably give you an easy answer that can help you to find the means to address the issue.

Yea that is for surely weird cause you think you would be all about sex after losing that amount of weight. It's got to be an imbalance of some sort. I'm in the same situation with no libido but not due to a tremendous amount of weight loss. Has any one tried a female libido enhancer? Men have the blue pill so we have to have something? Right?

Yes, I can identify with this, I thought it was just me because to be honest, I've never been someone whos interested more than once or twice a week. Now I dont care if its months.

That was OK, I had DH to keep us on the straight and narrow, lol. But now HE's suffering the same thing.

I do think something about weight loss is the reason.

I was kinda the same way until I got plastic surgery to remove the excess skin. I think that I was self conscience about the hanging stuff but now I feel much better. I don't know...maybe it was all in my head. Whatever it is....good luck with it...I can't get enough now ;-)
