Sex and a new sleeve?

Hi Slightly embarrassing but how long did people wait after their sleeve surgery before having sex? I know this sounds mental but my doctor told me not to do any strenuous exercise for six weeks!! that is too long!! My husband comes home in two weeks. Im four days post op now by then I'll be about 15/16 days post op. I have a very high sex drive and I am already getting twitchy lol.

You did you all do?

Hi, I waited 3 days....like another post, just took it easy and quick ( from behind, def couldn't take him laying on top of me )...it was fine. Did it again 2 days later, same way....just have to be easy!

  • 4 weeks later...

I am 100% not at ALL interested in sex. I'm eight days post op. I don't feel the least bit sexy and if he tried to touch me I might slap him.

Oh thank you for posting that! I thought maybe I was the only one. I am still two weeks away from my surgery, but I have had zero interest in sex for a long time, likely because of how much I dislike how I look. At that said I still participate and love my husband very much--just no eagerness on my part. I am hoping that returns with weight loss! yesterday I put on the nightgown I bought for post surgery recovery time, since all my yoga pants have a snug waistband, I thought a nightgown would work better. apparently it is cuter than I thought, because my husband couldn't stop looking at it and expressed how very much he approved, LOL. I may have to rethink this as a postop night again if that's going to be his reaction!
