2 weeks until surgery and nervous and excited all at the same time

[redemmy 8]

Jan 28 is my date and I'm totally psyched! However, i am nervous about how my small children will acclimate to my strange eating habits and not being able to pick them up for a month (they are 2 and 4). We're not hiding anything from them, but especially the 2 year old will not understand. Anyone else have little ones?

You are going to do great.

No way in the world that those little gems will pick up on your new eating habits.

You'll be able to sample a fairly large range of foods in no time......just smaller amounts than before.

You'll be leaning out by the time it ever registers on them.

Don't stress a thing and enjoy the process.

Thanks, I needed to hear that.

I have an 8 and a 5 year old. We have been completely open with them about what is going on. My 8 year old is very aware and the 5 year old is only worried about us being gone for a week. I am really hoping that they will pick up some of the changes we are making (less carbs)

I'm the 27th and also getting so excited. My youngest is 3.5 and he is huge. Very tall. He still loves for me to pick him up sometimes and LOVES to snuggle so I also have those concerns. Hopefully we will both recover quickly!!!!

My grandbabies are 1 1/2 and 4 and it's been hard this week to keep them from jumping on me or running full force into a hug. I only really got a zinger of pain once but that was enough!. Just be prepared to block. They haven't paid any attention to my eating habits.

Now if only I could keep my cats off me when I'm in bed.....
