Surgery and mother of a 7 month old

[graziellabs 28]

I am getting surgery on the 24th of August. I have help for like 2 weeks but it's going to be extremely hard not to hold him. Any mothers out there have come across this problem. What do I do I feel like it's impossible not to lift him at all. I need advice because about two weeks after I have no one to help me it's not going to work me not lifting him

Awwwh. First let me start by saying-- CONGRATS ON YOUR RE-BIRTH DAY!!!! I had the RNY done May 17, 2017. Second, everyone is different. I had pain,which required dilauded, for two days while in hosp. Once I got home. I more so had discomfort @ right side surgical site next to my navel. It felt more like a pulling sensation only when I turned in bed or bent over. Each day got better.Last, the doctor told me I couldn't lift more than fifty pounds for approx 4wks. Everyone is different and doctors orders differ too. So, I would just run it past my Dr. and once you get home you'll get a feel for how it will be for you.
Wish you the best & please post your updates or DM me. Would love to hear from you. Take care of the lil one!!
