After my hysterectomy I asked the obgyn how soon we could "seal the deal". He asked me how fast I could drive home.

Just take it slow and listen to your body.

No infection is not the same..a hematoma is formed when you have a tear and a blood clot forms. It was incredibly painful and eventually dissolved at 8 weeks.. One of my internal stitches ripped open when I sneezed and a small hematoma formed. I was very happy when the site finally felt better.

At least wait til you're out of the recovery room :) Badum-Dump!

All kidding aside, just take it slow and remember that there are other positions other than man-on-top and other forms that produce desirable results. And if you're a sweetheart and just not ready perhaps you would satisfyy his needs without a, um, "full monty".

Are you kidding? My surgeon made me wait 6 weeks (after hysterectomy)!! I didn't 'quite' make it that far, but that was excruciating. I'm hoping just as soon as I feel better we'll figure something out. :)

I'm 5 weeks out and tonight was my second try at it. I have to admit didn't feel too good! I was uncomfortable as much as I really wanted it! Guess I wasn't ready !

      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.
