Fooling Around After Surgery



Recommended Posts

I want to know how long you have to wait after surgery before you can start fooling around...? A much needed and valid question...

Everyone's healing time is different and they way they feel in general. I would check with your doctor. I waited until I was about 3 weeks post op. I was not in the "mood" at all right after surgery.

I am weird for a girl...b/c I am always in the mood, lol I was ready and willing within 2 weeks...but the bf was worried and we waited 5. But I get into some weird bendy positions. It may be easier for you since you are a guy

My doctor told me to go for it as soon as I felt like it. I think it was 2 or 3 weeks at most, had no problems.

I held out for two weeks and then my hubby and I were very careful. I would suspect that it would be easier as a male if you were on top, than a female on bottom. I would suggest females to get on top, less pressure on the incisions that way.

I wasn't in the mood for a few weeks. But the doc said as long as I don't carry or lift or do anything crazy your good as long as you take it easy.

      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.
