About a week, with modifications. Your port sight is sore for a while so gentleness is required. The standard positions won't work for a while.

I might be feeling kinda up for it now (9 days post-surgery) but I gotta tell ya, when my husband looked at me the other night and said, "Hey, I've never seen staples in somebody before. Cool!" it was a cold shower.

sundevil - that's hilarious, though maybe you don't think so.

i'm 5 days post op, and i'm thinking sex would be ok now, as long as i was on top. but i've felt really good since my surgery and don't have any real pain from my cuts. i think it just depends on how quickly you recover, and how much you want to have sex.

i was the one who started the last sex thread, and i was hearing numbers closer to a month, so it really just depends on the person. good luck.

Banded April3rd. I did it 5 days out. All was fine.....being very careful and slow with things. Then 2 nights ago he decided to try and put my legs in places I now know should not be for a while. I jerked up in great pain saying that was not gonna work....duh! I am so sore and tender in my port arrea that it isnt funny. Its scary actually. Needless to say the "shop" has closed down till my belly feels better. My advice to all is to be really slow in your movements.

Ew.

Anyway... How about: when I get married!

So funny! (and good girl!)

I'm 12 days out, and he hasn't DARED (he's afraid I'll bite his head off, I think). My guess is in the next day or so, though.

      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.
