It wasn't discussed with my doc...I was 3 weeks post-op. I went by the "as soon as I felt up to it" theory

I was told by my doctor to wait 3-4 weeks unless I 'felt up to it' sooner.

The nurses usually recommend that you wait until you are out of the hospital.

Beyond that, it's when you feel up to it (and you should generally avoid swinging from the rafters for a while!)

Supposed to be 6 weeks in a perfect world. I had sex 10 days out and others have within 4 days. Just gotta be gentle and careful if you must do the nasty. Condoms too you don't want a baby that soon after surgery!!!

  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.
