Can I do some house cleaning?



Recommended Posts

What kind of cleaning? I did light cleaning at a week out, like I used a stick-vac on my hardwoods. I'm 4 weeks out now and still haven't used a real vacuum. At a week out I could do dishes and fold laundry. Bending to pick things up wasn't going to happen.

Just take it easy. Maybe do one small task and then rest.

You can dust etc. I understand being bored. I was bored out of my mind, but I let that boredom get to me and I ended up overdoing it. So be careful and don't exhaust yourself. You are running on air at this point.

Don't you have any sit down hobbies you can do? I love to do coloring and bead work and know I will be busy during my recovery doing those things as I will also have my gallbladder taken out. As for the color it is the hottest adult activity for relieving stress and boredom. I got into coloring after reading about it in the June Parade Newspaper. I turned that joy into becoming a coloring book consultant and love helping others find the Joy in Coloring. If you have markers or colored pencils I have lots of free coloring pages I can send you. Just email me.

However if you really want to clean just stick to the light housekeeping as your still healing and need to be careful.

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

      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?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
