How long ? 1 week post op!

I may get yelled at for this, but we waited 3 days....

Now of course it was not hard core. And I did not hurt one bit. He was attentive the whole time asking if I was ok.

I think you just need to listen to your body.

My doctor said do it when you feel up to it. There are no restrictions in that area. I have heard a good bit of people say they were ready 10 days post op!

4 days here. Scissors. Yup.

Couldn't help but LOL at the "scissors"......

Well ... it's the least *volatile* position ... right?

yeah, i recomend avoiding anything hard core or "jarring". I threw up after sex the first time. and we have to be very very gentle or i get sick. lol my tummy doesn't like motion apparently!

How long ? 1 week post op!

21 days as that is what the doctor said. And for you fast attempters no reverse cowgirl sex on the first time (sorry, this might be an inside joke if you have not seen the discussions on it). Lol.

You people are hardcore. My goodness, the recovery wasn't THAT hard but I guess I was a wimp. I was sleeping in a recliner, doing my little walks but terrified of engaging the ab muscles. Well, that is because I made a mistake of using my abs the day after the surgery and about fainted from the pain - otherwise I really wasn't in pain, but I babied those ab muscles!

I also felt gross because I had drains for the first week - I was a revision from the band and so it was just extra pre-caution. Nothing says unsexy like a couple of drains, trust me on that one!

I also felt hugely hugely hugely fat because they pumped me up with fluids like a thanksgiving turkey.

Sex was the last think on my mind those early days post op...lol

I am alot more fun now

And I thought my "Darth Vader" cpap machine officially made me unsexy times a million in bed. Think of all the wheezing during reverse cowgirl sex. Lol.

Thanks for posting this as my husband will want to know what kind of time frame he will be looking at post op. Lol
