How Long After Surgery Can You "get Busy"?



Recommended Posts

I have been looking for this answer but I haven't come across it. I know everyone heals differently but this is something my husband and I desperately want to know B)

We got busy two weeks later, but were very careful since I was still sensitive. :)

Haha...well someone actually asked our doctor that at our pre-op session. The response was as soon as you feel comfortable you can presume other activities.

Thanks everyone! My wonderful husband and I have learned in these few years of marriage that being 'active' is extremely important no matter what is going on in our lives. It keeps a lot of the tension down. I am so glad that he loves me fluffy, un-fluffy or anything in between, He just wants me to be healthy and happy.

As Rootman said in another thread: "At least wait until you're out of the recovery room." :)

When my doctor came to check on me just before discharge he asked if I had any questions. I said sex & roller coasters but not necessarily together lol. He said two weeks for both.

Don't think we'll wait 2 weeks for the sex though lol

      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.
