Can We Talk About Sex?



Recommended Posts

Sorry if this not the place but I need to know from people who have been there. A doctor's opinion is one thing but you guys have lived the life.

How long after surgery did you wait to have sex? How long is recommended? Are there some pitfalls I'm not thinking of? Nothing wild or crazy, I just want to know what to expect. Thanks for the help!

With this, as with all things, everyone is different. It all depends on how YOU feel. There is no reason to hold back if you feel up to any particular physical activity. :)

Personally, I preferred pleasing him orally until I was 100%. Rather me than someone else huh?!?!?! Just kidding, my man wouldn't go elsewhere even if I didn't do it.

I just took the "healing" time VERY seriously. I was very careful. So I think it was 6 weeks until we did. And by then, it was alllllllllllllll good. :)

I have to say that, I had my surgery on August 23rd, and have yet to engage in intercourse.

Now, that's mainly because I'm still trying to find someone to engage in intercourse with.

However, if anyone asks, I tell them my celibacy is through choice.

(it's my SECOND choice).

I was told nothing strenuous (sp) for 2 weeks, so that's how long I waited. We took it slow and everything was fine.

It ain't like havin' a baby and waitin' 6 looooong weeks, but I think a little time to heal should be taken. I waited about 3 weeks, and ab muscles were a little sore after, but nothing too painful...I guess it depends on how fast you heal and what position you're in. :rolleyes:

      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?
