Libido

OK, this is a little embarrassing to talk about, but I have noticed that my libido has almost disappeared! I have heard that people on very low calorie diets experience this, but from what I've seen on the OH boards it seems like people are experiencing the exact opposite! My last bloodwork showed mild anemia, and I'm now on a higher dosage iron supplement. I take all of my vitamins and supplements religiously, and most days am able to get close to 1000 calories. It's so weird, because I'm looking better and am feeling much more confident about my body now, but I have absolutely no interest in sex. Have any of you experienced this problem?

I feel the same way. I just am not doing much thinking or feeling in that department. I thought I would be feeling *****y but-nope! You are not alone.

I know what u mean .. it is just gone ... considering my hubby was thinking I needed nympho annoymous before surgery LOL I just told him it was his new body after WLS LOL I hope this will come back .. but right now I am obessing on weight loss has got me off balance and self centered on losing weight ... be well Lisa

You are definitely not alone. I posted a similar question the other day and was given assurances that it happens and hopefully will pass soon.

What a relief-I was worried it was just me! I've NEVER had this problem-probably the opposite, in fact! I hope it passes soon-it's a strange feeling.

NOPE! DD

Somehow, DD, I had a feeling this problem wouldn't apply to you!

I just posted the same question and from what I was told it goes away and then you will be out of control!! I can't wait till then cause now I feel like I would rather sleep!

Looking forward to being out of control (and so is my husband!!!). I told him after I had WLS I would rock his world again... well he's still waiting. I'm with you Dee, I'd rather sleep than fool around. Hope my libido returns soon!

That's funny. I was thinking the same thing. When I got all of the information from my doc about WLS results, sex was one of those with a 70% or higher improvement rate! I was initially pretty excited. But as you all mention, it just not part of my interest right now. My hubby and I even got in a bit of a spat about it. He said that ever since surgery, I haven't wanted to do anything. Frankly, I don't think I wanted anything even before surgery! OH well. Let's all cross our fingers that that frisky will come find us again soon!
