How long after surgery did you



Recommended Posts

Wait until you had intercourse?

It's been two and a half weeks and I mentally want to but I'm kind of scared at the same time!

I know my husband would like to.

I don't have any pain in my abdomen from the incisions anymore.

What was your experience?

I told my husband the same as I'll tell you. I had 85% of my stomach removed. Not my vagina. The vagina bone is not connected to the stomach bone. So relax and do it!!

My nurse told me I could whenever I was ready. I think it was about a week. I had zero desire to have sex before that. Poor hubby.

Of course my intestines are a mess for no reason. No nookie tonight.

A glass of wine would be nice.

At my 2 week post op appointment, hubby wanted to know if I had been cleared for "all" activity~LOL, doc said whatever I could tolerate and I said "hot damn" My doctor laughed so I know he was "hip" to the question :D

Just take it easy, no swinging from chandeliers or monkey bars, and enjoy.

I still haven't felt up to it. I'm just not in the mood. I am so tired and emotional, and I can tell my period is coming. Blech!

I attempted to have sex with my boyfriend but we couldn't because I had a three month strong period since surgery and he was having none of that! I don't blame him either lol

Thx for posting this question!! I recently spoke with my husband and thanked him for being patient and understanding. I told him that although I'm "hot" for him, let me get this uncomfortable drain tube out first, which is tomorrow..then I would make it up to him. ;0)

20 lbs lighter, I should fit my nighties much better.

Good luck everyone!

      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.
