Stay at Home Mom Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

So after surgery it is suggested to take off 2-3 weeks off from work. I am a stay at home mom. I work once a week for 5 hours and I go to college twice a week. I was hoping to schedule my surgery during winter break to give me a break from school and it's not a big deal to miss work 2-3 times. What I am most worried about is taking care of my daughter right after surgery. Do I need my husband to take off from work while I recover? What have other stay at moms done for recovery?

I didn't but everyone is different. My husband took off only the hospital time to care for the kids. You aren't going to want to lift your children up for a lil while but if they are a lil older I can't imagine how you would be greatly impacted. Good luck!

Thanks for the insight ladies! I had my gallbladder removed 2 years ago and recovered while taking care of my daughter without a problem. So I'm hoping my recovery will be similar to that!

I'm a stay at home mom, and my son just turned one. I'm nervous about this.. I was told I can't lift more than 10 pounds for 4 weeks.

My sister will be helping the first week, then my husband is working from home the second week. I'll have to play it by ear after that. If I need to, I'll have my husband put him in the car for me in the mornings, and go to my parents house.

He is walking, and can go up stairs, but not down, and we have a lot of stairs in our house. He can eat on the floor if he has to, so I don't have to worry about his high chair, and I can do my best to avoid leaving the house and dealing with putting him in his car seat. My biggest concern is getting him in and out of his crib.

Hopefully it will all be smooth sailing, and I'm worrying for nothing!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
