Wow I asked my doctor and he was really vague said he doesn't like to put a lot of restrictions on his patients but I'm just a bit scared to do something too early and hurt myself. I've told my partner that I will see how I feel at 2 weeks out.

One week. I've been married for 24 years and still attracted to my husband. No Fifty Shades of Gray stuff though, lol.

Thank you so much that gives me peace of mind!!

I waited two 1/2 weeks and were fine....my lower stomach is still sore a little so I made sure my husband didn't put any weight on it! Just listen to your body, you'll know when it's right!

My post-op instructions say I can have sex, exercise, whatever I want to do as soon as I feel up to it. It's hard to imagine feeling amorous too soon after my gut gets ripped open, lol!

I was just wondering how long did other women wait after surgery to engage in sex?

I waited a week no big deal besides energy ..

      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.
