I think my dog was just looking for a warm spot!!

I told my husband I'm about to just give in and buy her some stairs to get in easier ( she's a chihuahua) 0_o

I guess I get your doctors point.. Like I said I hadn't thought about it that way but my dog didn't lay on my tummy she burrows down by my legs.

I have a chihuahua too and funny she goes under the blankets and down to my feet too! Also have a Puggle and an American Bulldog!

My 70lb sweetheart slept with me when I was home recovering. No infection to report. I say do as you wish.

I adore shepherds. I had one when I was very young. I couldn't have her inside due to allergies. I have to stick to the hypo-allergenic breeds now because I firmly believe dogs belong inside. I'm doing fine - my incisions are starting to itch a bit but I think that's normal.

I have a full size labradoodle who spent every moment possible in bed with me! He lays right up next to me - just another kid as far as I am concerned! He did happen to be groomed 3 days before my surgery and he does not shed. I just can't see the infection worry unless you were uncovering your incisions and purposefully expose them to unsanitary conditions.

Both my dogs slept with me. One even sleeps under the covers right next to me.

Yeah - I find it silly now too. They just made a statement in the preop class about it and asked who had pets sleeping with them. When I said me, they advised to send him to a friend's for three weeks. Totally not hoing to happen. He'd have a cow. He'd find his way home by escaping and making the trek. So I just wanted to be sure nothing was so horrible about it.

I love them, too! She is seriously the best dog either my boyfriend or I have ever had. I totally understand allergies! We have a cat that lives in the kiddos room because of my allergies! Sucks! My mom has a little guy that looks so much like yours! My shepherd totally thinks he is the boss :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
