Sex Drive
Has any one noticed their sex drive is almost non existant after surgery? Could it be the hormones being released? I feel like my boyfriend constantly wants to do stuff and I'm just like "eh".
HW: 295 / SW: 273 / CW: 169.4 / GW: 140 / Dream Goal: 120
Height: 5'3.5" - *22lbs of my weightloss was lost pre-surgery.
Mine wasn't much more existant before surgery, either. Could have been menopause among other things but I am happy to report that things are much improved. It happened around 18 months after surgery and I don't what caused it but my boyfried isn't complaining.

Yes! I thought it was just me...so glad to see this post on here. I have absolutely zero sex drive since the surgery & basically go through the motions to keep my hubby happy....and he gets aggravated because he seems to be able to sense that I am just going through the motions despite my best efforts. Very frustrating for both of us!
Was going to ask my GYN at my next appt if I need to take testosterone or something......

Mine was kind of cyclical during the first year or so... it would come and go in what appeared to be a completely random pattern. It was definitely lower during the first few months, but I think that is to be expected given the physical strain on your body from consuming so little food and your body having to heal from surgery.
Overall, though, mine increased.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
I haven't had any problems with the drive...but plenty of problems with "finishing" if you know what I mean.
Don't know if that's the surgery though or the fact I have been back on Prozac for the past few months.
