@@melva66 Nope you don't "have" to wait but I bet you will! Lol! The answer would be when ever your guts don't feel like there going to bust and the thought of anyone putting any pressure on your stomach doesn't make you want to punch them in the face! Yep, that's pretty much covers it!

I had sex 2 weeks post op and it was great. But I was not in any pain and had lots of energy. Choose a position where you are doing none of the work ;).

Whip out that kama sutra book--there's gotta be something in there that'll make it easy. :)

I want to get back in the swing of things quickly as well. I'm going to avoid everything for at least a week and anything that requires me doing anything other than lying down without any weight on me or penetration for another week.

That's what I've told my partner so he can know what to expect. I will, of course, play it by ear as well.

I'm so glad I found this post. My husband asked about time restrictions on sex, this will be my fourth surgery...2 c-section, hysterectomy and now the VSG. Needless to say we never waited until the time the doctor told us to wait. We have been together for 26 years and sex has never been a problem. He has stayed with me thru thin (teen years) and thick (adult years). I am hoping with the weight loss the sex becomes out of this world. I am looking forward to exploring the Kama Sutra book, LOL! ????.

      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.
