Hey all! Congrats on your hard work and your new life! My surgery is scheduled for sept 30! One week! And I have a few questions:

What was sex like after the procedure? How long before you could do it and what birth control were you using?

Also I know this may sound strange but for people who have lost a lot of weight does the sex feel different? Does the loose skin issue also affect your vagina or vaginal area?

Sorry for the strange question didn't know where else to ask.

My doctor told me as soon as I wanted. I would have felt "ready" after four or so days, but I was staying at my sister's and my boyfriend was 300 miles away so I didn't do it until I was about two weeks out. As far as birth control, I don't use any or need any since my 41 year old eggs are all used up.. I know for most women even if they were previously infertile, they need to be careful after surgery because weight loss can resolve fertility issues.. but there isn't anything that can be done once your eggs are no longer viable.

Oh hunny,

You can have it as soon as you want! And it's even better if you do it with someone else!!

And skinny sex! Yes buttercup it's even better.

You are able to hit all the spots just right even if there is a little extra skin!

U asked so I'm telling! I will be 2 wks post op tomorrow & my husband & I did it this weekend. I am of course off my birth control pills so we used a condom. Even as a single gal I always had my pills as a back up to a condom so I was nervous! We laughed that we both acted like 2 nervous 16 year olds their first time. He will be getting snipped soon, our family is complete but it was kinda funny we were both nervous with just the 1 method!! I held up fine, no pains or anything! :-)

      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.
