My 15 month old wants to lay on mommy :-(



Recommended Posts

I think she can sense that mommy is in a little pain and not to mention I've been away in the hospital for two days. Did anyone else have small kids when you had the surgery? How did you fair? I also have a 10 and 15 year old that have been a great help while my husband is at work. It's breaks my heart when she's grabbing on me to pick her up

Ya I have help so it's ok. But it is sad. We have an. Upstairs and the baby will want me to carry him down but I can't.

Or take him out the car seat today and I couldn't.

He sits on me n my chair and I hold him this way.

It's hard but he will not be damaged from it is what I keep telling myself

I have a 3,2,&1 year old. I'm 4 days post op today, and it is heart wrenching that my kids want me to get up and play, but we explained to them before I came home that Mommy was in the hospital, so I can't play right now. They seem to understand, because now they just ask to lay down in bed beside me. It is so sweet.

I am getting surgery in 3 weeks and have a 2 year old that still wants me to pick her up all the time. Im worried about her more than any part of the surgery. Shes small, only 22lbs but I think the limit is 15

I'm seven days post-op now and I will get comfortable, put a pillow over my stomach and have my hubby or one of our other daughters place her in my lap.

She did try and dive on me very early on and I had to stop her in her tracks, I felt so bad!

I have 13 mo old twins who love cuddling and laying on me. I was sleeved Mar 29 and whenever they wanted a cuddle my wife would pick up one or both and place them on my lap.. In bed, kept a pillow against my tummy for protection against kicks

      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.
