Exercising in the Bedroom



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I haven't been banded yet, but will be in a few weeks. This is kind of embarrassing to ask, but am wondering ABOUT how long after surgery that I might feel well enough to re-introduce sex to my exercise regiman?

Thanks for any insight you can give.

Sex in 4 weeks, sooner if you want to avoid putting pressure on you stomach.

It only burns about 3 extra calories per minute....you can walk slowly and still get more calorie burn.

Everyone is different, but I was only able to wait until day 5....very slow and easy to begin with...I'm day 14 today and getting close to being back to "normal" for us.

I guess your hormones and rate of healing will be the determining factor for you.

But I have to admit....even if it doesn't burn many calories (and I think that may be a matter of how um....shall we say "active" you are) it sure is the most enjoyable form of excersice!!

My husband and I had the surgery on the same day. We were able to wait until day 9. We had to go slow also, but we couldn't wait! LOL.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
