I WILL JUST COME OUT AND ASK.......

Since we are all adults here, I will just come out with this, I am having a strange situation, something I have NEVER experienced before! NO sex drive, nothing, dont want it, dont touch me, not interested!! This is not me at all, its been like this for a few months now, (poor hubbY). Everything else is going fine. This is just so strange to me. Anyone else going thru or gone thru this? I try, I just cant get in the MOOD at all!! Help!!! Thanks for listening!! Julie 258/159/148

Yep, been there. Mine started around 5 months post op. Lasted for many months. I think I'm just now getting back into it. I wasn't interested at ALL. Would rather sleep. Maybe it has somthing to do with when you hit around 100 pound loss? Add your post to the main board and I bet you'll get more responses to this. I have. Good luck!

I have heard that this is not uncommon. Our changing bodies are trying to adjust and our hormones are all over the place. As long as you know that is just an adjustment period and not something specific that you are feeling (such as being uncomfortable with your new body or having issues with husband) then it should work itself out within a few months from what I understand. I know that for myself, I was VERY interested in activity before surgery and while I am comfortable with my level of desire now, it is nowhere near where it was pre-op. Actually, I just saw an article on it on wlscenter.com, Barbara J.'s site. I believe that it is in her latest newsletter. Good luck.

Girl you are not ALONE, It was like have surgery and lose all your sex drive. I'm completely baffled that my sex drive is GONE, I asked my surgeon and he said rapid weight loss can effect the hormones in some women. I guess that's me and you! I'm going to get some blood work done here in a couple of weeks to check those hormones! It's so frustrating and I know my hubby is sick of it. (Well he doesn't say anything). I'm completely frustrated at faking it ! I don't know what to tell you other than just hang in there and hopefully we'll figure it out! Let me know if it comes back and maybe I can look in the same place for mine! Glad I'm not alone and thanks for posting this! S

I feel as if I've been neutered. I go along with my husband when he needs it and I try not to act as if I'm doing him a big favor but that's what I'm doing. I don't know if it's a temporary thing but it's been going on for months.
