Wow I have a 2 year old daughter and having the same fear!! No surgery date yet sorry!! I know my doctor said I can't lift her for 2 weeks! She does love to jump on me and rub my stomach LOL. I've already been prepping her telling her soon I will have a lot of boo boo on my belly and she can't touch or play for a while its hard but ill be off for 3 weeks from work and her daycare is open from 630-6. My husband isn't around right now so I will take the time to rest up,heal minor exercise (if I can) while she's at school. Good Luck to you!!! Right around the corner!!!

I have two kids. 5 and 11 months. I was sleeved on 8/14. I am still nursing my infant, I even nursed him at the hospital. I don't pick him up by bending down still. If I have to pick him up I have him crawl up the stairs and then I lift him. When I changed his diaper I kept "diaper stations" through the house and would have him crawl on the couch or I would get on the floor. I avoided lifting him and I used my umbrella stroller more than I thought I would lol. I had to nap when he did. By mid day I was exhausted. Some days I still need to nap, but I am going to school full time since 2 weeks after surgery. It's crazy here lol. My husband is a big help when he can be, but he works nights and sleeps during the day. I recommend not going out of the house unless you are walking or have to. I had my groceries delivered for 2 weeks (king soopers offers it in my area) and kept housework to a minimum. My 5 year old has had a fat allowance for several weeks now lol. Good luck to you! If you have any questions you are welcome to message me,
