I am 2 weeks post op. Feeling great. When did you veteran sleevers start doing housework. I need to vacuum!! But the Doc said no lifting over 10 lbs for 6 weeks. I was very active prior to being sleeved. My house is a mess help!!

It's early days, so I would suggest leaving it and just work on getting your body back to normal. If people offer to help, ask them if they don't mind hoovering or doing a little cleaning for you.

I am sure people online will answer saying the were hoovering after 2 days, cleaning guttering after 5 and so on so just go by what your team tell you and how you feel yourself. Congratulations on the surgery !!

Thanks for the reply. I have 3 dogs and 4 cats, so the hair can get a little crazy. I will wait though. The doctor said 6 weeks. I will wait at least 4. I will see if the neighbor teen would be interested in earning a little cash [emoji383]

i still don't think it would be good for my health to do housework!

my hubby is understanding and helps out

he knows i need to watch tv on the couch, eat yogurt,

while saving energy for my protein bar!

many people recover WLS and are walking in the mall right

after surgery. they might have had in and out surgery

other people take 2-3 weeks to get their strength back!!

continued good luck

I cleaned my house.
My husband helped with
Bringing laundry basket up and down stairs to wash.
My vacuum is light but my husband lifts that for me where I need it.
But everyone is different so do what you know is better for you.

Thanks for your reply. I went ahead and did some vacuuming. I have a little bit of soreness... sort of feels like I've done sit ups. Dusting, mopping even some light scrubbing hasn't been bad...I was just worried about vacuuming. You have a sweet hubby

Thank you[emoji3]!

just rest the more you use your mid section the longer you will take to heal. so just kick back get someone to come in and clean for you for two weeks. Craigslist

I'm going nuts not being able to deep clean my house. Haven't touched the vacuum yet and I probably won't for awhile because I've been paying the price for picking up my kids last night and today. Its no joke when they tell you not to strain. It felt like nothing when I was doing it, but now my belly is sore around the incisions.

Oh no, I have the same pain around my incisions from vacuuming. Have you seen the doctor? I hope it's not a hernia. Ugh. Thanks for the info.

No haven't seen dr, but after resting for a few hrs today I was right back up feeling better and actually back to most of my old routine. I feel about 97% myself.
