Ok, I need some uplifting! I have been craving Protein, so a week ago

i tried it...went down smoothly. so I just started week 4 post-op, and

i have spent the last week eating meat. My husband posed a good

question tonight...is this ok? am I taking words too far with if you

feel fine?

I really started this to be strict to the book. Also, when can I be

intimate with my husband again?

Any others banded the week of 8/11-8/15 where I am or am I messing this up?:shades_smile:

Thanks!

As far as eating goes...I always think it's best to consult with your doctor and let him/her decide what is ok or not.

And for the initmacy...most docs will say 4-6 weeks or when you are comfortable to do so.

whoops i was at it after 3 days, no body told me you couldnt do IT. As far as eating meat, i guess if it is blended, then no probs, also depends what it is, if it is soft fish, or chicken that is diff than beef, lamb or pork, take care.

I was banded on 8/11 and was told that beef was off limits for 6 months. I did try it once but had to spit it out because I just knew it wasn't going to go down...

As for sex, 4 to 6 weeks! Are you kidding me!!! We waiting about 1 week, and that was more than my poor husband could take! lol

When you feel comfortable just take it easy and go for it. Its amazing how much better you feel about yourself when you can feel the difference!

Good luck.

umm as far as the meat i was told next week i could start slowly introducing real food. Just make sure i take small bites and chew very well. I was banded aug 13th. As far as sex we waited about a week hubby said.
