I hate that you are not getting along better!!! I am not sure why everyone has a different outcome after surgery, I have been out and about every day the more I go the more energy I get, However if you are feeling Crappy see if you can get a sitter/ Nanny for the next week or so to help out while you are recuperating! Care.com is a good site to check for Nanny care I hope you feel better and you can always vent to me if all else fails!!!

Are you eating enough Proteins? My Doc said if I ever start to feel weak to up my Protein intake I have yet to do so but I remembered that loud and clear!! Glad that you are doing well!

So day one didn't go well. Is there a plan B? Drop in daycare, family/friends who can babysit etc? Something to stress w/ hubby is that if you prolong your healing, healing takes longer. Additionally you risk injury, infection, fatigue etc so it's super important to get any support you can. I have 3 kiddos as well and I know how challenging it can be.

im on nothing but Protein Shakes i drink about 3-4 a day. I have very out going kids.. and they suck the life out of me even before surgery..

I am trying to, I am on full liquids still. It's low I know, but I am going to try adding Protein Powder to Soup and almond milk.

Since it is summer vacation time, what about calling local highschool for recommended sitters. Around here, if you call guidance, they recommend kids.

Good luck to you.
