I was feeling exactly what you are feeling one week ago today, I would think of my kids and what if something happened to me and just cry. I was also excited for a new chapter to begin and knew in the long run, this would help me be a better mom! My surgery went fine, recovery went well ( day 2 was rough but I survived) and today one week out I feel really good, every day I get better and better. The hardest part of taking care of my little ones is not being able to pick them up, but I sit down and have them climb on my lap to snuggle or sit on the floor to dress them. You will figure out what works best for you. Good luck, it is going to be ok!!!!

I was sleeved on Feb. 3rd also, can't believe it will be a week already! Day 2 was the worst, nausea and vomiting was bad, but feeling so much better now! I am getting in my fluids no problem, just feeling gassy and bloated, but not in pain.

I'm still on liquids but can relate regarding wanting to nibble on the kids snacks! I've been finishing my kids leftovers and sharing their snacks for a long time (my kids range from 17 to 3.5yrs old) it's so tempting to just have a bite here and there! They have been really considerate of me which makes me proud and sad at once. Hang in there, some of these soft food items sound great, hopefully they will help!
