IM only 5 days post op... But when is a good time to just do it? I feel like we could but I'm scared, I'm not a good judge of that subject considering we didn't wait very long to do the deed after our daughter. I looked through all my paperwork, all the docs notes just say when you're ready, but... I'm ready! Just frightened. Still pretty sore!

I wouldn't. Give yourself the 2 months healing! If he can't wait for your full healing...get a new guy.

If you are ready, then do it.. just go slow. No acrobatic moves or bouncing too hard and you will be fine.

Oh he could wait, I'm the one who can't! We've been together 7 years and we are still insanely crazy for each other! I guess it's true love! I'm thinking I'll wait a few more days.. Then I won't feel so crazy.

My very conservative surgeon says 2 weeks.

My surgeon said whenever I was ready and when it didn't hurt.

I just left my surgeon and he laughed. He said it is a great way to burn calories. Whenever I am ready :P ! My husband was happy with that response.

My doc said when ever i was ready. We tried at about a week out but it was just to painful. Tried again at 2 weeks and I was fine, still a little tender, but i just didn't want to wait any longer. And sex was always good but now after losing 96lbs It is GREAT!!

If one of you slips and you get squished in the gut, it could do severe damage. What if you get pregnant now too, when you are supposed to be healing the next 2 months. I understand the urge, but mind over matter is probably wiser in this case.

My surgeon said as soon as I was ready. Three days after surgery, and it wasn't an issue.

Thanks, I'm not too worried about pregnancy, I have the mirena IUD, and a 1 year old.... That's enough birth control for me! Lol. And if I did get prego, I would take it as a beautiful and wonderful thing! People have gotten pregnant quickly, our bodies can do amazing things :)

My doctor said when I felt comfortable. It was at 10 days because I was scared to try sooner.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
