Sex after surgery



Recommended Posts

Sex is not as enjoyable as it was before my weight loss. Some areas have no feeling, sore pelvic bone, and low sexual drive. Anyone else have this problem?

If you are less than 4 months out, I wouldn't worry about it. You have undergone a major surgery!

If it has been longer than 4 months, then practice might help!

Did anyone receive any guidelines on when sex is "safe" after surgery? I am one week post-op but can't wait to get back to it.

I was told 3 weeks but I believe that is primarily for to pain management. If you feel up to it and are careful (and your partner will be careful too) I think you be fine.

It's not just pain management, it's your incisions. Consult your doctor. You risk opening your incisions if you do too much physical activity too soon. Sex affects the stomach muscles and that affects your incisions.

Your body and emotions go through a lot of changes. So do your hormones. Relationships change as well. Give it time.

My surgeon suggested 2 weeks post-op. My sex drive is through the roof. I am 2 weeks today, and have my 2 week follow up tomorrow. I'm still having a lot of tenderness on my right side, so I don't want to aggravate anything until then.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
