Anyone Else Have A Really Big Dog? How Did You Keep Them Off You?



Recommended Posts

I have a 90# St. Bernard and she's a big baby who loves to love on us ...so I'm trying to figure out ways to deal with her but not totally just stick her outside and ignore her for weeks til I'm more well and able to tend to her. She's good about sitting and not jumping on you mostly unless she's really excited! lol

I was worried about my dogs and cats too, but thankfully, none of them jumped on me till this week. I'm 5-weeks out. I think they can sense not to do something. :-)

I have two really big dogs and I was fine. I knew coming home from surgery that they would be excited to see me and probably try to jump, but they sensed that I wasn't my usual self and just licked me a lot. If I had thought of it, I might have had a few treats to throw on the floor if it looked like I was going to be jumped on. I have an Akita and a Tibetan Mastiff.

I hope she will sense it also and be gentle LOL , she's only a yr and a half old. She's very smart so I think it will be OK but the treats for a distraction is a great idea!

awwww I love big dogs. . .had a 120 lbs giant german shepherd. he loved us so much and just stuck around us like glue. he didn't jump up or anything either, so i just carried on carrying for him. took him for his walks and so on. it wasn't bad at all. actually it helped me alot. . gosh i really miss him, it's been 2 1/2 years since he died but I can't bear to get another. . . good luck and enjoy your baby! They are so much fun!

aaawwww! Love our dogs!! Do you let him on the couch by you? Maybe some quiet cuddle time next to you. My mini daschund wants on my lap so bad. But he's content if I let him on my legs (not my tummy) if I talk sweet to him and give him lots of pets.

She's done pretty good, she hasn't been too rough and atleast she does sit when told. I was so happy to get the dang drain out Tues. I kept it tucked in my undies bc I'm short and the tube was alittle long LOL I was so worried it would be hanging out and the dog would snag it...thank goodness that DIDNT happen!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
