my sex life

Ok I'm pre op and my sex life is ok, not as good as it once was. I guess my lack of self confindence and sometimes my body just plainly hurts from certain postions because of my weight and joint and back pain.My question is did anyones sex life change post op? Thanks everyone keep up the good work!!! stefie

oh yeah - it's changed for the better! besides the basics, like less cushin' for the pushin' which translates to deeper penetration and positions that were not possible before, i'm feeling hotter and more adventurous. be careful about substitution sex and alcohol for the place food had in your life, tho. that seems to be a common issue that crops up.

OMG, mine improved leaps and bounds. I actually enjoyed shower sex last weekend. I ENJOYED it, not just managed through it. I'm much bendier than I used to be. Good luck with your surgery!

There's something that has to be said about this thread but I don't know what. I just know that it rocks! *throws up the horns* And I haven't stopped smiling after reading it. -Zedrick

For me I was afraid to let go and have fun. Being overweight, sex was more of a chore, I was to wound up with the OMG I have rolls of fat everywhere. I didn't want to get on top, I really never enjoyed sex, now post op is much different. I am comforable in my skin, I feel sexy, desirable, attractive, like I know I am the the Queen B and you should be glad I let you touch me.....

It's way better post-op!!! WAY better! Pre-op, I felt embarassed about my fat, now I'm embarassed of my excess skin. Of course I'd choose the skin over the fat any day esp. when it comes to sex. You are more flexible and able to try some fun new positions now. Lynn Lap RNY 8-16-05 297/186/150
