Intimacy Question!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I'm not quite sure how to ask this so I'm just going to go for it.....I am still pre-surgery and typically enjoy intimacy with my husband a few times per week. I am wondering if anyone has had any problems with intimacy (discomfort, port sensitivity, etc.) after surgery. I did have two c-sections so I know I will have to take a few weeks to heal, etc., but I am looking forward to the positive benefit LBS will have on my intimate life LOL! Thank you!

I'd say for at least a few days to maybe a week you may be too sore, but I don't remember having to wait too long after. :-)

If it doesn't hurt, go for it. I did and had no problems. :)

I had some port soreness because of the stomach muscle use but nothing bad at all.

I was turned off for about two weeks cause I was just so tired. I am a stomach sleeper and couldnt get comfortable. Just see how you feel and take it from there. You might have to get imaginative but that the fun part.

I had discomfort; had a a really bad yeast infection from the antibotics after surgery. So once that cleared up my PH balance was off for several weeks afterwards, something I had never experinced before.

I find that certain...positions...are not as comfortable because of my port placement. Not pain per se, just uncomfortable. But only when I'm bent in half or scrunched up. Okay, yeah, TMI... :)

      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.
