Opinions on moving please



Recommended Posts

Hello! My sleeve surgery is scheduled 1/11/17. I am scheduling when to close on my existing home and move into our new home. I'm a single Mom of a 12 year old which leaves more of the responsibility to me. I'll hire movers and will have the help of friends and family, but will still need to unpack. Realistically when will I feel up to this? I'd like to move mid March, 9 weeks after surgery. Thoughts?

I am right at 9 weeks and I feel great. I was lucky and had no problems with the surgery and have been really strict with myself about following the rules. But I am fully back to normal. Walking 2 miles a day, eating 3 meals of totally Protein and a shake to supplement. Energy level is much better than before surgery. The first few weeks are a challenge, but in my case, it got better every day. My only challenge now is getting the Water in. I think if all goes well with your surgery, the move shouldn't be a problem. Good luck.

That shouldn't be a problem for March. You could even do it sooner if you wanted. I began a kitchen remodel on day 4 after surgery. I didn't do the work, but juggled many workers in and out of my small place all day long. They were done after 2 weeks and I was fine to get kitchen set up again. Just carried a few items at a time from what I had to pack away. No lifting heavy boxes.

I felt well enough to unpack about 3 days after surgery. For awhile I began to wonder if I even had it.

      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.
