How Soon Can I Resume Intercourse After Surgery?



Recommended Posts

Ok so this may be tmi but I was wondering how soon after surgery I can have sex again. I have heard 6 weeks and that just really sucks! I have my appointment with my physician pre op on the 23rd but my mom is coming with me. I would rather not ask in front of her lol

hmm I dunno why it would be 6 weeks...when you're able to return to the gym after 3 weeks? I'd say take it easy and don't too wild for a bit

I was a week out and had intercourse. Just don't get TOO frisky and get into a position that won't put any pressure on your abdomen.

I was told by my doctor's office that as long as I felt ok and it wasn't causing me pain or discomfort to go for it.

I'd advise to at least wait till you're out of the recovery room :)

Seriously, whenever you're ready and as Karen points out take it easy and be sure not to put too much pressure on yourself. Perhaps lady on top?

This was at the top of the list of my questions! My surgeon says wait a week, but that this varies based on the patients desire! He states it's a personal choice and after a week he has no concerns:-)

      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.
