We were told we could partake as soon as we felt able and ready. That being said, we were warned to refrain from any rough housing (take it easy for a while) LOL

Well you can do it when you are ready.You must be careful with your incisions of course. I think I heard is good to wait maybe 1 or 2 weeks till you start feeling better. I think this is a personal choice so if you feel like you can do it :) Go for it!

If you do it spoon style you could easily start up sooner than 2 weeks out! It took us so long bc I was rehospitalized quite a few times there.

My dr said as soon as I felt comfy. We waited a week. I think that was a little soon. I felt very...shook up? Haha so we waited a couple days, and have been back at it, just being careful of course, but all is well! My post op was today, i was sleeved on 3.2, and dr said I'm healing just fine! Just go with what feels comfortable, and if it hurts, stop! Haha

This reminded me of when I had my hysterectomy in Oct. of 2007 and we had only three more days until we could have sex again and I fell down a flight of stairs and broke 10 ribs and it was another 3 1/2 months before we were able to do it. My husband said that most women just complain of a headache but his wife had to throw herself down the stairs....he was kidding of course...but it was funny...Sorry just had to share.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
