Warning! Don't lift heavy boxes 5 months out

Hi, everyone. Just a reminder not to lift heavy boxes. I'm 5 months post-op and am down 77 lbs and thought I could lift things. Wrong. I ended up in the ER where they thought I had a blockage. Spent the night in the hospital to find out I just pulled my pouch a little. Don't lift anything over 20 lbs for a year. I'm fine now but I lost 2 days work over it. Karen

Karen, Glad you are OK. We've been packing and moving things for the last month. I've been really careful, but early on I did pull a muscle (it hurt to even breathe) so rushed to the doctor. She assured me after a thorough check that I was fine but to remember I was recovering from surgery and to take it easy. Mary

Im in big trouble then, I am moving next weekend, and doing most of it myself.... looks like im going to be kicking boxes down stairs and pushing them around the ground.. lol could be an interesting weekend Lee
