Ok.... well I will start by saying a few things.  I really haven't noticed MUCH of a change when it comes to sex after WLS.  But after I had lost quite a bit of weight I had noticed that "certain" things were ALOT easier.  I can VISUALLY SEE alot more thats going on, if ya know what I mean *wink*.  Which is nice, because seeing things turns me on just that much more. I use to hate riding top because it was hard to do at 300+ lbs.  But it's much more tolerable now. It's easier to shave.... hehehe. And we have tried new positions that we wouldn't have been able to do before I had lost surgery.  That is all I can think of right now.  But as far as an increase in my libido I don't think that has taken place.  I think it's just about where it is as before I had surgery.  I was a baaaaaad horn dog..... (as bad as a teenage boy, or just any man I guess) when I was younger.  But that has changed now that I've gotton older and more mature.  Anyway, thats all I've got to say about this subject.  Let's hear from everyone else..... ANYONE?  I'm curious too!

       Maybe you should copy and paste this thread in the Sex Before and After Weightloss Surgery Forum!  You are still in the Utah Weightloss Forum!

I wanted to start this thread because I'm curious to know what everyone is finding after WLS.  We are all sexual beings and I have to believe that part of why we had WLS is because we want to look attractive (to ourselves and to others).

How many of you have found that since your WLS your libido has increased?  I still find it amazing how much mine has.  It's almost like I'm 18 again (okay, not that bad but still).

Anyway, this is a good forum to discuss all such things and I hope you'll all share your experiences, your thoughts, and your fears/desires in here.

Don't stress.  That's first and most important.  Second, not everyone's pouch is the same size after surgery.  The pouch size is really a guestimate.  They try to measure it out but it's not an exact science.  I also had a larger than normal pouch -- and I've talked to others who did as well.  However, I was still able to lose 250 lbs.  So again, don't stress.

Just realize that it is important to realize that you don't have to be full in order to not be hungry.  If you eat slowly, eat what you're supposed to, and stop when you're supposed to, you'll find that while you might not get that full sensation, your hunger pains will stop and that you're alright at that point.

Keep a conscious eye on how much you eat.  What Amy said is true (for the most part).  Yogurt is a slider food.  It doesn't tend to stay in your very long.  However, if you are like me and you love yogurt, don't be afraid to use it from time to time (it's a better snack than a meal).  The best yogurt can only be purchased at Smith's.  It's called Carb Master.  It doesn't have the sugar (only 3 g) in it that all other yogurts (even the light) have, it has less carbs (4 g) and more protein (12 g) than any yogurt I've ever seen.  Also because it's not as sweet (other so-called light yogurts are sweetened with sucralose or aspartame which have a tendency to increase your appetite).

Finally, never, ever, ever think that you did this for nothing.  Just get in the habit of keeping a food journal, spacing your meals 4-5 hours between, drinking water between each meal (minimum of 64 ounces each day), and focus on eating quality foods using the 70/30 and portion size approach.  You might eat slightly more than other people and you might not relate to someone who says they can only eat one bite and then they're full but you're still good.
