I have a 22 month old and my doctor said after 4 weeks I can pick him up regularly. Until that point, I can pick him up a couple times a day, if needed.

I have 2 small children and I am 2 weeks post op. In the past week I have had situations come up where I had to lift my 4 year old and both of there bikes and I was fine. I just make sure I'm careful and lift with my legs like jobs teach you to do.

I have 3 young children, youngest was 2 when I had surgery 3 weeks ago. You will definently need help ,I did because my daughter wanted to be held but I couldnt hold her. My Doc said 6 weeks also, she weighs 30 Lbs so add five lbs each week after surgery (wk one you can lift 5 lbs, week two 10 lbs...).I also froze meals before surgery so it was easier on others and stocked up on mac and cheese , PBJ and got stirofoam cups plates ,bowls,plastic spoons so clean up would be easy. Good luck make sure yor Protein is ready for week 1 that was the hardest part for me( and getting enough liquid in). unjury.com has chicken flavored protein that is allowed in the Clear Liquids stage it tastes pretty good. wish you the best.

I made my daughter get up on the dinning room chair then up on the table and lay down, The table was level to my waist so it made it very easy to change her, Good luck

I am planning on flying family out to help for a couple of weeks and then we will be having naptime and playtime and all diaper changes on the floor once I am on my own. The FAQ packet from my surgeon said no lifting kids for 6 weeks.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
