Hey, no reason to be embarrassed. Whatever feels good, do it! Seriously, my doctor's opinion on physical activity is that if you are up to doing anything, physically, that's a good indication that it will be OK to do.

Have fun! :(

Actually, this is a great question. My husband asked me the same thing last might and I had no idea what to tell him. My follow-up visit is 19 days post op, as he is on vacation and I was hoping I wasn't going to have to wait until then to find out!!!!:laugh

I waited about 10 days.....that's just me. Plus AF came to visit the week after my surgery....so as soon as she was gone I was back in action. Nothing acrobatic, but got the itch scratched.

My doc said I could do whatever I wanted unless it hurt, and then stop if it did.

No strict orders....

Have fun!!

I think all this just liquids is really going to my head.....when read this thread my first thought was:

"Siiiigh, nice to know I CAN get jiggy...but I'm single so it's not like I'm GOING to...."

then my brain said:

"I need to find a band boy who would understand about this thing...."

which led my brain to twist and say:

"Wonder what pickup lines bandsters use.....'hey baby...let's rub our ports together and make magic'...or.....'I'll touch your port if your touch mine'...or the more romantic 'baby...if you PB, I'll hold your hair back' "

[giggle] I REALLY need to get to solids......eight days and counting.....

Now that's true love! I'm sitting here laughing in my office. Thanks!

My doc told me nothing 'strenuous' for 2 weeks, in which I included sex. And then I told my boyfriend (who was counting the days, I'm sure), that we could try, but if it hurt I was going to have to stop and he'd be out of luck. Warning in place, everything was fine, we just took it slow. :(

I know this sounds strange coming from a guy, but......sex is the last thing on my mind right now. And believe me it used to consume my thoughts all day. Now I'm too busy watching the clock for when I can have another can of broth or a popsicle.

Sheesh....you women......you're all pigs!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
