ROFL ROFL ROFL what a subject!!! I can honestly say that the first week post-op I was Def NOT in the mood. I was bruised, sore, and I felt cut up!!! Now I am 10 post op and of coarse once you do """" then you will get back in the groove again. Whats weird is when your significant other see's a big weight loss. Its kind of nice to hear "wow honey your butt is getting smaller" :confused:

People vary a lot, but what you are experiencing is very normal. Your body has been through surgery and it takes a while to get back to 100% physically, and even mentally!

Give yourself time~!!

That is too funny, now my hubby has been lementing over the fact my butt won't be as big anymore, but I keep telling him it is not going anywhere, I had a big booty when I skinny it is not going down... it is too funny to hear when he is ready for the deed... he gave me two weeks:lol: yea we shall see...

I think I was back somewhat in the saddle around 2 weeks post op and very carefully. LOL It's in full great swing now at almost 6 weeks post op. I continue to lose weight and gain confidence and it seems to spur the libido right along. :lol:

Wow, you were just banded. Give your body a chance to heal. I definitly did not have any at that point (in fact I still haven't lol). My libido is back but I still get sore when I bend at the waist so I am not ready yet. Give yourself at least a month.

It's only been four weeks for me and I might feel like having some fun mentally but definetely not physically! When I had my hysterectomy it was almost 9 weeks before we had any fun. My husband is very understanding (thank the lord!).

It'll just be better when you finally can do it! :):cool:

      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.
