Hey guys, I tried to get some response from an earlier thread, but no luck, so I will try a new thread. I was wondering without being to graphic, how the lap band will change some of the activities that my hubby and I enjoy, now that I have a smaller stomach, am I limited to what can go in the stomach, and will it affect me, if at all. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Mahalo

WOW. I never thought of the increase in sex as a side effect. My hubby will really enjoy that one, we have a very active sex life already ( about 6-7 times a week) . How will we find time for our usual activities now, like work, and eating. Hey now, thats an idea, sex instead of eating. Good Luck to all of you, keep us "posted" on whats going on. Aloha...

Holy crap 6-7 times a week - will you please call my wife and tell her to get her act in gear.

Can you start doing it in the liquid stage or would it be considered a mushie??

ROTFLMAO - way too funny - if it is mushie he should probably go have that checked out:omg:

I have no problem with the act itself, in fact I quite enjoy it, but I'm not big on the conclusion happening in my mouth (For a lack of better terms.)

Think I could just say "Well now that I'm banded, it's not allowed..." lol I think it'd be quite the excuse myself.

~*Ash*~

No problems here after surgery and after 3 fills. I always "finish" and have had no pb from that lol. I am sure glad we can all be so open with our questions on here lol.

There is a really good thread that goes into this also in the Lounge...right about the Rants and Raves thread. The name is something like Adult Warning....Rated XXX...can't remember the name now but it was started back in 2006 and has LOTS of replies to it

Thanks all for the replies, it was good to know of everyones experiences and knowing that I can't hurt myself too much. But there definately was some food (no pun intended) for thought on some of the other stuff. Let me know if anyone else can think of anything else I might need to know. Aloha...

I'm new here. What is a DH

"DH" stands for "Dear Husband", "Darling Husband", "Damn Husband", whichever you choose!! LOL!! But really. . it's referring to your hubby!

Thanks! I guess I'll refer to mine as DH (Dear husband)

Does everyone have to do a pre-op diet? I'm new to this and haven't had my preop consults yet. Thanks for any insight.

If you could swallow before, you can swallow now. The volume should not cause you to PB or clog unless your band is tight due to emotional upset. In that case, you shouldn't really be doing that till you're relaxed anyway.

every doctor is different in what he requires. Just wait until you get your consult, and be sure to have a list of all the questions with you. Good Luck

LOL well i must admit i didn't consider this being a problem, but it is a good question. Ejaculation volume is usually no more than 30 cc (2 tablespoons) at the most so i think the volume and consistancy would not be a problem. But swallowing air might be.... Oh well I guess there is gas-x strips. I am 3 weeks post op and I am usually to dang tired to stay up past 9:00. I say you go girl if you got the energy :eek:

For a short while, I though DH was D-head and referred to people's husbands. :-)

I swallowed twice in about a 30 minutes and washed it down with a cold drink and felt fine. HA HA HA! Unless your man cums a gallon at a time I should think you would be okay!
