Ok, were there any restrictions on waiting to have sex? My 2 week post op is on Thursday, but didn't know if I needed to wait or not... :)

Check with your doctor if you're concerned--but I was told that sex was okay as soon as it was comfortable enough to do.

Mine said it was fine as soon as you felt fine with doing the deed. No restrictions there. (I'm sure in the hospital was one of them - LOL!)

My Doc told me to wait at least 6 weeks. My husband wasn't too happy, but we didn't actually make it..:w00t: LOL I would suggest taking it easy, you might irritate the port area. And depending where your your port is might make it a bit difficult at first. It could be quite painful rather than pleasurable. As my hubby demonstrated though when there's a will there's way. Being on top didn't do too much harm...:) HAHAHA!! (Hopefully, that wasn't too much of a TMI moment.)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
