Sex life after surgery



Recommended Posts

I'm sorry to ask so many personal questions but I'm just really curious. I'm 4 days post op and my boyfriend and I have our one year anniversary in 19 days and I was wondering: How long did you ladies wait before you had sex? Is 3 weeks is enough time? Is Did it hurt? What positions did you find the most comfortable?

My doctor said if it doesn't hurt, go for it. I didn't have any time restriction so I think I was about 1 week post op. It didn't hurt (felt pretty good actually.... :D ). So my opinion is go for it.

Did you find a certain position more comfortable than the rest? You don't have to answer if it makes you uncomfortable!

The only position I didn't like was him being on top, his weight on my stomach was too much. Otherwise it was all good.

You should be fine by the 20th as long as you don't have any complications. We did it the day after my surgery as he had just got home from being out of town for a month and I couldn't wait. Being on top worked best as I could control everything, and now 3 weeks later everything is back to normal and I have had no issues with my band or incisions because of it.

I had sex in about 4 days and it was fine. I notice that when I'm on my back even now I feel my port so i prefer other ways but other than that it was fabulous....and keeps getting better and better as you lose weight!! Good luck!

I know I'm a guy....but here is one piece of advice......

No matter when you do start, make sure you wait at least an hour or so after eating. Trust me. My wife and I had to stop one evening, I just couldn't continue (When was the last time a guy had to say, "Stop, we are having sex too soon!")

I think the best way is on your back.... With your legs off the bed, and your hubby standing up (supporting your legs) let us know which of these positions you try!!! LoL!! J/K

      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.
