I know this is very personal but when are we allowed to have sex...... Does anyone know

Didn't talk to my Dr. about sex but I'm 10 days post op and gave it a whirl. Wasn't to bad just used a lot of pillows and our imagination to keep me comfortable.

Went through samething. Surgeon sent me to infusion clinic and gave me some toradol and I.V. fluids. Felt loads better after that

I was given non limitations on what I could do the only thing they said was if it hurts don't do it and that I could have sex if I wanted to just to not try and get fancy!!

We had to stop on the way home from the hospital and get a recliner. It's the only way I can sleep...

Where did you stop to get one? Did you get up and down from a bunch of recliners? We have one that is electric and usually I don't use it but my family is so kind and not fighting to sit there but actually is letting me sit there.

Oh my gosh!! I was about to mention the same thing about burning poking pain on the left side of my belly button... The left side (rib) pain has subsided with more Water intake' date=' but it has been replaced (just yesterday) with this poking, stinging pain just under the skin at my belly button (left side)..pressure helps, but omg!! If i breathe to deep or bend over!!ugh!! What is this about??? Anyone??[/quote']

When do you go back to the doctor? I go on Tuesday and plan on making this pain thing my first question! It has been so bad this evening. I'm lying here with an ice pack in my binder. I just took liquid loritab. It cuts the pain for about 30 minutes then it's about unbearable again! Maybe I can get to sleep! It was nice to hear from a lot of people today. Thoughts and prayers to my September Member family.... Nighty night.....

We stopped at Aarons and purchased one. There isn't much to choose from in this town...lol. As long as my feet aren't propped up, I can get up and down by myself.

Hello everyone... Boy we've had our share of ups and downs' date=' September to remember indeed! At least everyone that had surgery came out alive! I've noticed that on this stage (full liquid) I have no limit. I mean I can drink or have pudding and not get full. I accidentally took more than a sip and did fine. I know liquids don't sit in your pouch like puree or regular food but I need a limit. I can eat four ounces of pudding right after drinking a large amount. I've experienced dumping already, not by choice. They gave me nsa yogurt in the hospital five days after surgery. Soooooo sick!

I was just wondering how everyone is doing with the amount they can take in? What about Protein? Required liquid intake?

I can do the same liquids are easy and puddings to . My doctor said its fine some people have problems and some don't . I guess we will both see when we hit semi soild foods

I work in healthcare and my job requires lifting and pulling. My surgery was Sept 19 and I go back to work Nov 1. I'll work two days then be off the weekend. I'm fortunate to have benefits and get paid for time off. I bet I never get another day off for a while though...lol.

I am almost 3 weeks post op and feeling good starting at a gym tomorrow for cardio then strength training in 2 weeks. Starting work back on Oct 10th which I kinda can't wait for I been kinda bored at home. I work in a ER though so I'm sure once I'm back ill want to leave again. Will have to bring my lunches which I have never been good at so it will probable be Protein Drinks and simple stuff to bring. Pain is pretty much all gone now and feeling like my normal self.

I'm sure your staff misses you..good luck and take it easy. Maybe they can let you do triagefor a few weeks?

      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.
