Do any of you have babies? I'm starting to wonder how crazy I was to do this with a 9 month old. I am going to have help with him' date=' but not picking him up for at least two weeks sure sounds rough on the both of us. My surgery is Tuesday. I'm excited, anxious, scared. I only had to do a 4 day liquid diet. Today is number 3. It hasn't been as hard as I thought. It is weird how often I catch myself automatically thinking of eating something and I have to remind myself not to eat it.[/quote']

I have a thirteen month old. I'm two weeks out tomorrow. So far I've been blessed with the help of my mom when my husband is at work. I also have a 4 year old. I have been jumped on kicked and what not already. But I have not sustained any injuries lol. It's not fun not being able to pick up your own children. I still have my snuggle time though. I have to wait till week 6 before I can pick up my little one. The time will go fast hang in there. I've gone through the same with food and having to remember not to eat. You'll get used to it stay strong. I wish I would have done this after my first was born.

Why would we need a Facebook page when we can do the same thing on this forum?

Just easier to post to and view pic of each others progress,etc..it was just a thought I wanted to throw out there and see what the feed back would be.

Had an emotional breakdown today.... I was actually crying for an epidural...lol. Had just been to the bathroom, I started to go back and froze with pain. I couldn't move. Just started crying on my husband's chest. Pain meds are great! If I had waited ten more minutes, I could have prevented all that. FYI...Try to plan things around your meds!

Jessica, I am so sorry for the experience you are having. I am saddened when I read the pain you are in. My thoughts are with you buddy.

Why not set the page up and invite whoever wants to be invited. A secret or closed page on FB is only accessible through an invitation.

I'm interested, just easier to maneuver, but will still use the forums here.

hang in there jessica we are all pulling for you! Timing your meds is a very good idea i plan to take that advice. I think a push before you attempt using the incentive spirometer, walking, and even moving in bed is a good idea if you need it do it!

I have a 19-month old son and my doctor cleared me to lift him nine days post op as long as it didn't hurt me. He weighs almost 30 lbs. It was a rough nine days on him because he didn't understand why I couldn't pick him up. My 6.5 year old had to help me get him out of his crib and I taught him how to climb into his car seat. Good luck on Tueasday!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
