Personal Question - but how long after surgery before - you know



Recommended Posts

So I forgot to ask my doctor and have not had my 2 week check up yet - but how long until you can have sex again? Surely not a whole 6 weeks right?

The paperwork I have tells me 4 weeks "using my best judgement". Othet folks here have restarted sooner though. Having just got home from the hospital, I can't even imagine it lol.

Don't rush into bedroom gymnastics this early out. You don't want to snap something out of place.

My Dr said when I felt up to it. I was about a week out... I had to get on top because my tummy was still a little sore.

I am going to wait around 6 weeks. I had a partial hysterectomy July 22nd and my RNY August 22. Also, my husband is gone for a while with the Army so it isn't as though I have a choice.

If it were a simple situation I would still wait around a month. You wouldn't want to be in the middle of "rocking the boat" and blow a gasket.

I asked the same question a few weeks ago and majority who responded to mine said they waited for about 1 week. I have my pre-op with the surgeon next week so I'm going to ask him then.

      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.
