How soon post-op did folks resume regular sexual activity - specifically, intercourse?

I find my constitution is a bit unpredictable day to day and too much err.. movement.. can bring on nausea.

my doctor told me as soon as I wanted to. so, if nausea makes you not want to - then wait a while. or look for a time of day when you are not feeling the nausea. :D or you may find that you and your partner prefer gentle rather than vigorous for a little while and that's fine, because it's all good, eh?

My incision sites hurt for several weeks so me and my gf had to enjoy low impact closeness at first. I'm a month out now and I'm finally feeling back to normal. I had a little longer recovery though since I had my lap band removed before I had the sleeve.

After one week I was having sex. Gentle and slow, but still good. Two weeks out and I'm good. My sex drive feels like it's increased as well with this surgery.

I think it was after 3 days. Nothing too strenuous and we were careful not to hurt my incisions.

It was suggested to go for it when I felt ready or wait at least 2 weeks to be on the safe side.

Yeah, pretty much what everyone else is saying. Very carefully after 4 days, then back to normal after about 2 weeks.

We're depriving out bodies of food. I draw the line at sex. :)

Damn straight, especially in that adolescent phase with the hormone dump.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
