Sex Question-TMI

To anyone who has lost a substantial amount of weight: I am wondering how your libido was effected.
I have a pretty low sex drive which is a source of marital strife-nothing horrible but still an issue for the hubby.  I am wondering if your desire increased with weight loss?

Mine has already increased. I'm single, so no one around to take it out on! I'm going to have to work on that.

I am still early out, but mine has increased tons!  I am not sure if it's because I feel better about myself or because my husband had surgery too so it's like we are starting over, hard to explain.  Anyway I think it's probably natural to decrease, I felt like I didnt have the energy and would of rather went to bed on time and now..... I am the one wanting it

 oh my gosh thank you for posting this. i have the exact same issue. i have pretty much zero sex drive. its been like this for years sadly. my husband is a trooper. we don't do it often. he's such an amazing man. but  i have felt like less of a woman as well as a bad wife. i WANT to have a sex drive, i really do. i'm hoping that having this surgery and losing weight will help that. its one of the many things i'm hoping will improve.

so it makes me SO happy to hear that you ladies are getting your sex drive back!! woohoo!!! can't wait till i get there!! :) :) :)

interesting question. i dare you to ask dr. jossart about that and then tell us what he reports! i am too embarrassed to ask him. D

Mine has increased, and it was definitely more heightened during my losing stage. My poor husband couldn't keep up. I think for me it was/is a combination of losing weight, and being in my early 30's. Now that I'm in maintenance, I would have to say my desire to have sex is more than it used to be, but it's toned down some from my losing stage.

Plus, it's super fabulous to have sex and not be worn out in 10 minutes, and be limited on positions.

My drive went up substantiallly....I think it has to do with feeling so much better about myself, physically being able to enjoy it more...and of course, having a willing partner...that participates helps too.  LOL!  (I have a "new" partner.)

My drive went DOWN but when I'm with a GREAT lover...it's there.  Try some fun sexy games to get you going =)

OMG... I swear this is the first time I have missed my husband since my divorce.... well, other than when it is time to take the garbage to the curb.... but you know what I mean

I was wondering how long you have to wait to have sex after the surgery? Or how long you waited? I am wondering the same question and I am glad someone asked.
