How many birth control pill users have a great sex drive AND are losing weight?

Ok, I have some real concerns about starting birth control pills and possibly losing my sex drive. I am currently using condoms, and my sex drive is really great, a noticeable change from the past few years. However, condoms are really cramping our sex life, and I am contemplating going back onto birth control pills.<br> Up until the RNY surgery, I had been a birth control pill (BCP) user for years. I've used at least four to five different kinds of BCPs, some with good success, and others with bad side effects - such as low libido or total loss of sex drive, and inability to lose weight. Because of this past history, I stopped using the BCPs right before surgery (per doctor's orders), and decided to give the NuvaRing a try (started during month two post-op). Months three and four post-op i lost <b>only four to five pounds</b> while on the NuvaRing, and became badly constipated. Since stopping the NuvaRing, my weight loss has started again, and the constipation is virtually gone.<br> I guess I want to hear from other women who are taking birth control pills, have a good sex drive, and are also losing weight steadily. Please tell me what kind you're using, and how long you've been on them during your post-op period. Thanks!
