I was in the hospital for 2 nights and two nights later my husband and I had sex. We were very careful and I wore the binder (sexy! lol) throughout so that my sore belly didn't jiggle (again, sexy!). It went fine! My doctor didn't put a time line on it...she just said we could have sex when we felt comfortable with it and to take it easy.

It's really up to how you feel. There is no reason you can't have it unless you do some really strange...or difficult positions. Once you are feeling up to the task....then burn those calories the best and most fun way to do so! Greatest exercise ever! Lol ;)

I would say the most important thing is to use birth control. You don't want to get pregnant for at least a year. Some do but your body will be in a better place a year later. Also I am sorry if you did not get a binder. They work great especially the first 2-3weeks. Gives you support to help you get going or find a position to sleep in have early sex in etc. if you are still out only 3 weeks talk to your doctor about getting one. Can get it from hospital or get prescription for it and you maybe able to get from local medical supply store or some drug stores depends how large you are. Again mine was great used it to week 3 helps you to use less pain med. if you are going to be sleeved ask your doctor pre op. I am say this as a patient and as a nurse that has taken are of people who have had our surgery.

      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.
