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!

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
