Sex after WLS... how do you feel?

So sex before weightloss was good, most of the time lol.  I never realized how much difference 117lbs would make.  I've always been open and explorative, so that was never a problem.  My friend made the comment 'You know I always thought you were hot as hell, but know that YOU KNOW you are hot, its that much more intense'.  That was so nice to hear!  Either way, I never thought I could actually enjoy the act so much.  Before, I could take it or leave it, honestly.  I don't know if it is because I am more comfortable with myself, and can therefore be more 'active' lol, or if the sensations have just heightened with losing all of that weight.  Either way, it was AMAZING.  He thought I was crazy before, now he is just shocked, lol.  Girls, I don't promote premarital, or promiscuous sex, but if you do it anyway, and you haven't had some since surgery, oh my god I suggest it, lol.  Has anyone seen Love Stinks?  If you have not, you need to!!  Hell, you need to see it so badly, that I am wiling to burn copies and mail it to each of you!  PM me your address.  Seriously!  I have like 900 blank dvds that I never use!  Anyway, the movie is hilarious, and I was going to use a line from it, but I will wait.

There is nothing wrong with sex, in my opinion.  I am glad you enjoyed it.

Oooh a sex topic...I must join in! lol

I dont know if it's because of the sudden release of so many hormones (estrogen stored in your bodies fat) or if its the sudden surge in self confidence but both my bff and I experienced greatly increased amount of um desire after gastric. Not to mention a tremendous increase in stamina, flexibility, and adventurousness! I mean it makes sense...Being 120 lbs lighter makes it a whole lot easier to move around and it doesnt take nearly as much energy as it used to before! So yeah, I agree its definitely better after wls...imho. Im sure all of the extra attention from the opposite sex, making you feel all hot and sexy helps too :)

I do find the weightloss has made sex more enjoyable - I do not tire out as easily, dont sweat as much and my body doesnt hurt from trying different things like it did previously... I can also now get much closer to my partner since a giant belly is no longer in the way which I really truly enjoy.
However, I am still self concious about my belly which hinders me (only in my own mind) I very much look forward to PS because to me that will really complete my journey... I personally feel that things will improve in the sex department 100% once I have a tummy tuck and pubic liposuction - not only for the mental aspect but physically it should make a big difference.

I definitely used to enjoy it when I was a much smaller person... but once I hit 225-250, I had ZERO interest. I think that played a big part in the demise of my long term relationship with my baby daddy.

I am looking forward to the day that I will be able to enjoy it once again!

Cheers to those of you who are living it up already!

I don't know sex before WLS... but I know it after plastics.  With a panni so great it hung to my knees at its largest, I was always sex conscious with the boyfriend... I could do without the sex.  Now with the Panni and the dude out of the way its fantastic he he.

But Seriously... I do have my moments of insecurity, but I feel when I'm partaking in a physical relationship both of us know each other.  I am not one to have random partners and that I think is what helps my mind stay at ease...

Do I make any sense?  I know I'm beet red though! ha ha

Like everything else in my life, the weight loss definately enhanced sex. 

I'm in a little different place in my life than some of the other responders since I've been married for almost 2 years now, so I don't have to worry about the first time a guy I'm seeing gets a look at my stretch marks and extra skin.  Kyle has been with me through my entire weight loss journey and has been loving and unconditionally accepting of whatever shape my body happened to be in, but that doesn't mean I haven't been self concious at times.  Occasionally the flappy skin and the lack-of-boobage bugs me, but the stamina and extra flexibility more than makes up for it. 

My advice to anyone going into the "first time he's gonna see my post-op body" moment, just relax and don't worry about it.  Chances are it isn't as bad as you think it is and feeling self concious just deprives you of all the *fun* you could be having. 

Before we got married and ever since people have told my husband and I that sex would go out the door after a year or so.  Ha.  I'm making up for lost time and so far Kyle has no complaints  

I adore you!

 awe shucks.  You're not so bad yourself

I know that I havent experienced sex after wls.. YET! I too have been married 2 years and things have gone down since...NO PUN INTENDED! LoL. But yeah when we got together 3 years ago everything was great. We had a great sex life. But as soon as I got pregnant I didnt have a want to at all. And then afterwards I just kept getting bigger and bigger, so my self confidence went out the window. I didnt want my hubby to see me looking like I do. But now I understand that my husband met me and married me the way I am and even now he still finds me very attractive and I dont understand it. I think I am actually more nervous about how things will be after I lose the weight. Hubby says he likes a little meat and I know I wont be a stick or anything but I hope that he will still want me. We will find out...
