Sex after WLS

Yes, I really will talk about anything.

So last week Brian and I were getting our bow-chicka-wow-wow on. We both noticed around the same moment that because he wasn't having to lean over the giant gut he was actually fitting in a bit deeper. WOOOOOOW. And mmmmmmmmm..... Movement is so much easier now, too. I'm able to move in ways that I haven't since before I had kids. (The elliptical strenghtening my thighs has a lot to do with that. LOL) Now sometimes this makes sex end a lot faster than expected, because...um...well...surprise orgasm anybody?

After we were done that night, Brian kind of surprised me when he said, "I had to check and make sure it was still you! It feels almost like I'm making love to a different woman, and it freaks me out." I think if the weight loss hadn't been so fast & drastic it wouldn't be such a big deal, but every time we have sex SOMETHING is different. What a way to spice up the sex life, huh?

The only thing that somewhat bothers me is how much more often he wants me now. Before, he said he loved me no matter what and always wanted me, and the sex was good for both of us. But now...it's almost like I'm back with that 19 year old that I first fell in love with. It makes me realize just how much our physical bodies do matter in every single aspect of our lives. It's yet another reason that I'm so thankful that I've had WLS, and that I'm getting healthier and back to the body I used to have...

Pray for me....

Brian is on day 1 of quitting smoking. Again. It was bad enough the first time around. Keep me in your prayers over the next 4 weeks...

Two things...

In Zumba tonight, one of the girls that just got certified as an instructor did one of the songs. She was a big girl!! It was so great to have a big girl take the initiative and get certified like that. I just thought it was so cool. :)

And last night, Matt (my 6 year old) gave me a big "squishy" hug before going to bed. With his arms still around my waist he looked up at me with amazement and told me, "Mommy, you're almost SKINNY!!!"

Le Sigh! I love that kid!!!
