adult content: when can I start having sex?



Recommended Posts

I second the comment about birth control. My surgeon insists on a month long regimen of Lovenox blood thinning injections to prevent blood clots post-surgery, which means no birth control pills for a month. My fiance and I talked about it pre-surgery, and agreed that we are going to wait until after the blood thinner is done and I'm back on the pills, because as much as we want to have children, we want me healthy and stable first.

I am a married woman and I was not ashamed to ask my doctor such an important question. He said to go ahead and get my groove on but don't go crazy. As long as you are up to it. My doc never even mentioned anything about not having sex, it was the nurse at the hospital that told me about it. When I told my doc what the nurse said during my 2weeks post-op, my doc just rolled his eyes and gave me the go ahead.

My doctor said to wait six weeks so I didn't break any stitches. We made it to about 1 week.

When can I start getting back to the groove? I had surgery 6/17 and I don't want to call my doctor and ask she prob has better question to answer haha

I asked Dr. Davidson's nurse, and she said, and I quote: "Whenever you will have as much fun as your husband"

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
