SEX and FLUIDS

so, i'm fresh outta surgery (last wednesday) and i'm wondering .... when can i hop on the good foot and do the bad thing again?  any precautions?  also, i'm having a hard time drinking my 3-4 oz's of fluid a day ... and getting in my 80 grams of protien ... any advice?  thanks to all of you, each and every one of you is so special and such an inspiration!! 

 Listen to your body when it comes to physical activity (of any kind) so if something causes you discomfort or pain, don't do it. Obviously, take precautions not to have any pressure on your stomach area because you are healing from major surgery and will continue to heal for about another 6-8 weeks. 

Same goes for eating, eat what you can until you are satisfied.  If it's not everything, that's ok.  As time goes on you'll gradually be able to eat and tolerate more.  For now, just do what you can making sure you get protein with every meal and sipping water between.  

Good luck and congrats on your surgery!

 Just drink as much as you can, and do as much protein as you can. I didnt start getting my 60g of protein until my 3rd month and I couldnt get my fluid in until about 2 months. Just keep trying! As for the sex, as long as you take it easy, why not? Also, you could hint to your significant other that if you dont have to move your body too much, and you are lying on your back (so there is no pressure on your stomach) he can feel free to offer the oral so you dont have to hurt yourself. wink wink. In 6 months when you are down 50lbs and feeling light as a feather you can do some paybacks!

lol i dont get as much fulids in either i sex the week after surgery and it was no good like the next day felt like i had a full body work out
