Quick question....



Recommended Posts

I just got my surgery date (Yaaay! July 30th). How long after surgery do we have to wait to have sex? Or a better question I guess- how long until I will want to again? Lol. Any words of wisdom welcome :)

My doctor told me I could have sex as soon as I felt up to it. I must say, there's been A LOT of it. The weight loss is definitely making me feel sexier & my husband is living every bit if it. Happy Humping, Ladies!

I don't think I'll feel up to it for a few weeks- just had surgery 2 days ago. But that doesn't mean that my husband and I can't do other things together! :). I also use a "personal electronic device" for the early days- for me, the big O helps me naturally treat my pain levels and helps a lot! Always has- I also have chronic arthritis since I was 17 years old. Try mixing things up if you're not up to the full meal deal yet! ;)

My doc told me no strenuous activities for 6 weeks & said it included not having sex. I really didn't want sex until after 4 weeks. Once got the green light, it's been great. With the weight loss, I'm feeling better, more confident about my body & looking sexier than ever. Judging by my husband's reactions, I'll say it's better than ever. Sooooo exciting!!!!!!

I had sex at 3 weeks. I can say, being on my hands & knees hurt so maybe try missionary. I thought that would hurt more...nope.

      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.
