Want a hug without " space for jesus"



Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

How long til you were able to tolerate a proper hug? Any pressure on the belly is painful for me so hubby has to leave space for jesus & can't really hug or hold me like I want.

Y'all know us post ops are so damn emotional & my dogs are too heavy to snuggle too.

May have to send out for a build a bear.

I've never heard of this "space for Jesus". At first I though it said "space for jeans". How about a spooning hug? Hubby can stand behind you and hug you around your shoulders.

I am 5-2 and the hubs is 6-0. We are able to hug close however I cannot reach up around his neck yet. That is where the pain comes in..He hugs me from behind and is real careful not to wrap his arms around my waist but around my chest..It will get better.

We definitely need to talk more! My husband does not really understand the Doctor Who infatuation that I have. Have you seen Torchwood? Do you like Captain Jack? At least you and your husband can snuggle up next to each other a little while you watch the re -runs and wait for the Anniversary special!! I hope your recovery continues to go well! You can show me how it is done! My surgery is still about 5 weeks away.

A Whovian hijack? Lol!

Love me some 10th Doctor, Mr. David Tennant.

My 12 year old daughter is a huge fan and we watch it together sometimes.

Back to topic. What about gentle cuddle hugs. That's what I did with my hubby at first until I healed a bit more.

Been watching The Doctor for over 30 years now and I have really enjoyed 11. 10 was good as well but I like Moffat's story arcs better than RTD's.

4 is by far my favorite, he was my "first" Doctor. My wife bought me a hand knit replica scarf a few years ago and even did my office door like the TARDIS !!! She is awesome!!!

Try and watch some of the classic Whos... they are campy and have bad FX but they stories are good. I think they ate on Netflix still!?!?!?

Yes- I love torchwood & have been watching the new Torchwood revival on demand!

My prius is called my Cardis bc it makes wooshy sounds under 15 mph& is tardis blue.

My office desk is from a yard sale-we sanded it & painted it tardis blue.

I'm angry season 7 isnt on netflix, but it made me cry a bit so probably good it isnt so I dont get dehydrated.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
