We did have the discussion before we had a baby. He was going to be the best dad-way better than his sorry excuse for a father. And for the first two weeks he was super dad. After that it was downhill. Kid usually cries when dad does stuff like changes his diaper or picks him up. I assumed that's why he quit doing it. Confidence has never been an issue. I always speak my mind. But this is an issue we are going to have to deal with sooner than later. It might be time for some therapy!
We've gone through many changes over the past two years. Hubby hasn't adjusted well to any of them. Thank god for women! Without us the world would fall apart!

After my c-section, I had a stitch sticking out. It hurt! It was pulling on that tender skin and irritating it. As soon as the doc pulled it out, the pain was immediately gone. Maybe your doc or the nurse could just get it out.

I already posted this somewhere else but....
My dermatologist said taking Biotin with the Multivitamin was fine. I take 10,000mcg a day. She said to split the dosage because the body couldn't absorb that much at one time. She also said to take a Vitamin called AGPro. It's amino acids. The AGPro and Biotin work together to help with the hair loss.

I'm 8 weeks out and nothing tastes good. I'm having a lot of trouble reaching my calorie and Protein goals for the day. It seems that most food makes me a little nauseous at the thought of eating it. lunch meat, Greek yogurt, Protein shakes, smoothies, most meats are all just gross right now. Not sure what to do. Its like my taste buds and sense of smell are superhuman and it makes everything taste off.
Anybody else have a problem eating?

My favorite is "I mean you can have a bite. A little bite isn't going to hurt you." I respond that I didn't get my gut cut out so that I could continue to eat junk. No that little bite isn't going to hurt but it ain't gonna help either!
I had a few guests for dinner last night and made a lemon pound cake. My friend, who is on a diet but ate cake anyway, was like you can't even have a little slice?!? Yeah, I can but I'm not! Jeez!

Lml32937...what veggies do you eat for Protein other than Beans? I'm getting a little sick of meat and cheese!

I guess I would fall in to this category.
I don't believe in eating all Protein all the time. Now that I'm about 8 weeks out and off the graduated post-op eating plan, I have no restrictions on things. I am slowly trying the foods that I love and going back to my "normal" way of doing things. Meaning, I tend towards more of a veg diet. I love my veggies (which also have protein BTW) and don't normally eat a lot of meat. I don't believe in low-carb but I do watch some of the sugars in things. I tend to not eat a lot of bread but when I do it's usually a whole grain or a cracker-type of some sort.
Lots of veggies. fruit. Whole grains. Lean meats. And cheese and eggs when I want 'em.

I have an 18 month old. He weighs 31 lbs. My doc said no lifting from the floor for two weeks. It was okay to put him in my lap if I was sitting.
I was very, very lethargic for the first two weeks but I could not tolerate those Protein shakes or anything that even smelled like that stuff. So for two weeks I had nothing but Water. Had I followed doctor's instructions I'm sure I would have felt much better!

At 4 weeks I hit a stall for about two weeks. I didn't really let it bother me because I wasn't doing exactly right - eating all the Protein and taking Vitamins and what not. Anyway, I put on a pair of preop pants and noticed that I suddenly had three or four inches of extra material on each thigh! Guess I was burning inches instead of pounds! I'll take it!!!!
