1-2 Weeks Out......How Do You Feel Today?

So can I join the I-HATE-JELLO-AND-WILL-NEVER-EAT-IT-AGAIN club too???? Plus, I'd like to start a BROTH-SUCKS-BUTT club while I'm at it. Oh....and Vi.....I dream about eating food all the time. They're like sex dreams....only better! Speaking of sex....did anyone's doctor tell them how long to wait until it was okay? My husband asked me and I told him I was worried that I wasn't supposed to lift more than 15 lbs for 6 weeks. I meant I was worried 'cause he's a big guy 6'2" and about 330. He thought I meant something else weighed more than 15 lbs and puffed out his chest like a big dumb gorilla. Pa-leeze...give me a break. Sheryl

OMG sheryl that was cute, 15 lbs, lol I think we'd all be dead if our husbands weighed that much . I went for my 1st post op visit at 10 days out and my Dr. said I could then but not to lift him, lol. I ask her if it had to be slow she said yes, I said well if I can't have it fast and rough I think I need to wait I am now 18 days out and have had it twice, and it was GOOOOOD. I'd like to join your BROTH-SUCKS-BUTT club, and also the I-HATE-JELLO-AND-WILL-NEVER-EAT-IT-AGAIN club too. At 18 days out I feel GRREEAAT as tony the tiger says, lol........My 2nd day was the worst I felt as if I had pulled a crap load of muscles in my tummy but every days since then has been a BREEZE.

Sheryl, But what a way to go...............!!!!! willby

Too funny. You will not believe the visual in my head of you "lifting" your husband. I have actual tears in my eyes I laughed so hard. And God Bless my husband, cause I love him and we've been together for 13 yrs, but he doesn't know the meaning of the word "slow". Fast is his only speed (sigh). That's why I read so many romance novels. Sheryl

Sheryl, You can join the "jello" club.........and the "broth" club is a great idea!! I nominate you as president! You know..........isnt it wonderful how caring and supportive husbands are? "OH darling............how are you today? WHEN CAN WE HAVE SEX??" (I might just milk that 15 pound exclusion for a looooooooooooooong time) take care willby

willby, OMG! Does your husband know my husband? Cause that's almost EXACTLY the conversation we had, except it was "Hey Honey....how are you feeling today? Are you horny?" Such a romantic guy. It brings tears to my eye. Sheryl President of the newly founded BROTH-SUCKS-BUTT club

I agree with you on the food dreams being better than sex dreams!! (And this from a girl who always said she liked sex better than food.) My doctor said I could resume sex right away, however, that is a "non-issue" for me right now since me and the hubby have been sleeping in separate rooms for almost 2 years (my choice, long story but the marriage is pretty much over). Just tell your hubby to keep his 15 lb gorilla to himself a little longer! OH, and Willby, you had me rolling with that post about how you wished your hubby would choke on a pepperoni. I personally always hated that men could eat more than us and not gain as much weight! Vi

VI, wow! thats really odd! My doctor said I cant have sex for 2 years,Hmmmmmmmmm..........wonder if I misunderstood her? sex dreams vs. food dreams? No contest.( hold your ears dear husband) FOODFOODFOODFOODFOODFOOD!!!!!!!! willby

I heard that sex was out for 6 weeks!!!! I couldnt stand it and 10 days after surgery I 'jumped him" My man is 6ft and about 260 and there were no prob's....Just beee careful I think it is up to you and how YOU feel.....

I am 2 weeks out today and started eating purreed food. Yummy. Everything is going great. I have not been sick the first time. The only problem that I have is left side pain. But that is getting better everyday. I can sleep on my right side now have been doing that for a few days. I go walking 3 or 4 times a day. I dont take naps anymore. I feel great almost like my old self. I have lost 35pds as of yesterday. And I really hate jello and broth and could care less if it was ever in my house again. Dont ever want to look at it. everyone take care. I know we all are gonna be just fine. Oh yes I do dream of food too. It is hard sometimes.... Take care Mary
