I definitely love your attitude girl! LOL

I am sure it is different for everyone, but you will know when it is the right time. You are healing inside and out, so you definitely want to take precautions and not hurt yourself. I would recommend running the question by your doctor and then proceed very carefully.

We were very careful, but we only waited about 5 days. Hubs was gentle to make sure we didn't hurt anything.

It has been 10 days since surgery and my boyfriend is scared. He thinks that he is going to hurt something. I should be happy that he is so concerned LOL

I asked this same question a few weeks ago!! Most people said that you can use your judgement and healing feeling as a guide but the general consenses was 5 days to a week! Enjoy =)

I'm not worried as long as my wife doesn't try to lean into my port or suture line(s).

My materials from the Dr said 2 weeks, but the most we could wait was 10 days. We were just careful.

my dr said when i felt well enough too.....4 or 5 days..

try different positions (like standing up) if you are worried about your tummy.

      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.
