My surgeon suggested about a week off and a 20 lb lifting restriction for a few days. I think if you're careful about your lifting and make sure to take time to sit, you should be ok. Might be sore but that's managable.

I can sympathize... I haven't even told my bf about my surgery plans and I am 48 days out!!
"luckily" we aren't married, but I know he would say I am beng ridiculous and do not need it. My psych thought it was very strange, but as I told her...
We are a little uneven and at times I definitely can't see us lasting long term.
Bottom line - this surgery is for ME. I am an emotional eater b/c I put everyone else first. I am going to be selfish with this. My health - heck, my LIFE - is worth more than his issues with it.
I am sorry you are going thru this, but thank goodness you are cognizant of what's going on. It's an unfortunate extra hurdle for you. And I hope and pray I lose two pounds a week consistently!!
Please always feel free to reach out to me and we will push through together!
