Just wondering, how long does one have to wait, or should wait after surgery before becoming sexually active again? My boyfriend is patient but I am feeling the "drought". Its only been 10 days though so I am not up for hurting myself!

LOL... too funny! Don't hurt yourself, but you can have sex as soon you feel up to it! I felt well enough 5 days in.... and 6 days, and 7 and... ;)

Some programs give a time (mine said 30 days), but most are less. The consensus here is be gentle and have fun.

Rule of thumb: take it easy and do it when you're ready. Just don't push yourself. Foreplay is easier and helps with the drought feeling ;)

My dr said whevever I was up to it. I gave my husband a "special treat" at day 6 and waited for sex until about 2 weeks.

Good luck! And have fun!

      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.
