Mmm that sounds good but the sugar content doesn't make you dump.

I'm trying not to freak out right now. My boyfriend works midnights and is asleep. My mom was suppose to be here 2 hours ago to pick my son and I up. He's awake now and in a crib. I can't even get him out or change him. My boyfriend is already pissed at me because he quote "has to do everything", so I don't want to wake him up. I texted her and she never got back to me.

Giggles good luck!!!

Amanda just blow her phone up And see if she answers. Or is there anyone else you can call. Boyfriend needs to be prescribed a chill pill. You're recovering. It's going to be a tough few weeks. He should be on board.

How much does your son weigh? I've been picking my kids up(only when necessary) since a few days out from surgery. They're only 24 & 28 lbs though. I'm 9 days out now and am back to taking care of both kids completely....but if I had a boyfriend, I would be expecting him to do it all for at least the first week and then continue to do the lifting for the next week. Us moms 'do it all' most/all of the time anyways!

He's about 25 pounds. I don't think I could pick him up without hurting myself because he is very squirmy. I do all that I can as it is. I still do the dishes sweep cook for the both of them feed our child..pick up toys etc. Id do the laundry if it wasn't in the basement. I can't believe she would flake like that.

Maybe something came up? That's awful that she didn't at least call :(

Amanda, you might need to tell your boyfriend to go f himself. Im sorry but that makes me so mad. If my guy or anyone told me that right now, after what we have been through, I would just go off. Amanda I struggle with pain all day and I can't even bend over or take a big drink in one gulp without causing more. I know you are in the same boat and you deserve more! That man should be giving you foot massages and making you tasty shakes. Boohoo he has to work, men think that that alone excludes them from participating in the rest of their life. If he wants to be around for the future sexier you, then he needs to contribute. I go to school and work and when my mom broke her knee and I went to live with her to take care of her, I woke up several times a night to take her to the restroom and get her pain meds. These boys need to learn how to grow up. I am also speaking personally as my grandpa does this to my grandma and ut makes me go insane. Be strong girl and just do what feels right for you, but know that you deserve better support!

      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.
