I asked the doctor about it during my two week check up, and she said feel free to do anything that I needed to at two weeks.

Hubby wouldn't come near me for two weeks! After that, we weren't exactly swinging from the chandeliers, but it was fine. Then, this week? Wahoo!! He said, "I felt your port" haha!! All is back to normal.

Well, I haven't had sex yet and I am 6 weeks post op but it has more to do with self esteem issues than surgery issues. I suppose I was probably "able" to about 2 weeks after.

      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?

      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.
