Actually, feel relieved - this question has been asked many times.

The concensus is "wait until you can do it comfortably".

Individual answers vary frm a few days to a few weeks. :)

I waited almost 2 weeks...of course he left on a business trip the 5th day out, and was gone for a week!!! We just adjusted positions to where he did not lay on my incisions---no problems then! They were probably tender and not ready for that for about a month or so.

Have fun!

Intercourse has not been a problem, but having an orgasm causes contractions of my abdominal muscles, which in turn causes pain. I'm 3 weeks post-op and orgasms still hurt. But so far it seems that that problem is unique to me. I haven't heard any other bandsters complain about that issue.

I was just wondering that today. My huny was asking about that today. I am due to have the surgery in a week. I have had a really bad and long period this month so he is not happy. I imagine the position also has something to do with how soon you can have “relations”.

I am so glad that I found this forum. I have gotten so many answers about things that I was embarrassed to ask. Not only do I get the answer, I have also learned that I am not the only one with some of these problems and concerns. It is nice to know that I am not the only one out there…:whoo:<o:p></o:p>

I really don't remember, but I can't imagine it was very long.

The goal was just to not put any pressure on my port.

      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.
