How long post op can you have sex? What about swallowing does that effect the stomach at all?

@@BigViffer, I knew and mentioned that about the Protein content, but I never thought of the mechanics of the act. Good thing it will be a while before I see my fella. I should be healed by then. I'll be about 2 months post op. That should be ok, right?

I cannot speak from personal experience of course, but I would imagine that this would be completely unique to the individual. I've eaten too quickly and had severe gas pain from gulping air. Some people do not seem to have that issue. If you do not suffer from gas pains frequently, I would imagine that it would be fine. If like me air/gas is still problematic at almost 2 years, it's something to consider.

I'll have to buy gas x strips. We only get to see each other 5-6 times a year. I don't wanna miss a thing. Lol.

Isn't a teaspoon considered a sip?

That's how the group Lovin' Spoonful got its name. I didn't know that until my husband told me.

FYI a standard teaspoon holds 15 ml so if those cups held 2oz that would be more=1/8 cup, because 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon so that 2 oz would= 90 mi=6 teaspoons. Are you totally confused now?[emoji46]PS I always thought it had to do with cocaine, way back in the past McDonald's coffee stirrers had a liitle spoon on the end, druggies were using them to put cocaine up their little noseys so they changed the style. Ah the trivial useless info one picks up in 72 years![emoji13]PPS semen contains 18 calories roughly equivalent to a teaspoon of sugar. I wonder what scientist found THIIS out?[emoji106]

Just a little info for y'all, it's not that bad but it really depends on what he/she eats. The More fruit you eat the better it taste. Especially PINEAPPLES!! Lol

On 2 of the 4 smartphones Tomkitten and I own. at the same time we got a posting attributed the BBC on Sexual Addiction. Are so few people having Sex that they are campaigning like US politicians? Weird isn't it?

As gross as swallowing may sound to me (no offense and no judgment) I hear its very high in protein! So you may be able to supplement your Protein intake that way : )
