    i just found out that im 6wks preggo. did he explain why u are considered high risk because of WLS?

    Ok my due date had been revised. Which is no surprise because ALL my children measured small in the beginning. So I'm due March 10th instead of February 28th. But it will be an automatic c section because both previous babies were, that means I shave one week off of the due date. My weight gain has been 0 in 7 weeks since conception.

    My restriction is that of it right after surgery. I don't want to eat but force feed myself. Popsicles have been my best friends. I'm sick from morning to night (which gives me comfort knowing I have symptoms lol), breasts are slowly getting sensitive, I have food aberrations to everything but then have cravings also but I don't know what I am craving. sleep comes and goes.

    I take my Vitamins and Calcium. I'm on Zofran for morning sickness. I'm hoping to avoid gestational diabetes. Doctor thinks its a good possibility I can avoid it :) He did list me as high risk pregnancy due to my Bariatric surgery, but I'm praying to the good Lord that's just a label and I have a healthy pregnancy.

    So my goal is to update weight gain/losses and any issues I might come upon that way all these questions most of us have can start being answered. I how that I can help others with this. Importantly we as sleevers need to remember that we will always have this tool its about choices, control, and loving ourselves enough to do the right things :)

    im not dehydrated. you mightve been reading an old post

    You say you are eating but can't do the shakes. Are you getting all your Protein in? It could be a combo of Protein and liquid definciency. I get the same way if I don't get enough of these in especially the liquids. But I have also noticed it when I don't have enough protein in. You might google the highest protein rich foods and start on those. Another really good fruit for dehydration would be watermelon...........eat the heck out of that stuff! Good luck to you!!

    hey guys!

    i am alive & well after having my plastic surgery done. i am officially 10 days post op plastics. i had a breast lift with breast implants & they look aweesooommmme! i also had a fat transfer to my butt which i think has been the hardest recovery wise. im still taking pain meds because of the severe soreness in my stomach, sides & back.

    i do plan on getting a Tummy Tuck once i pay off some of this debt.

    thank you!

    i am having my plastic surgery with

    Dr. Richard C Garvey.

    hes a professor to other plastic surgeons and is chief surgeon. that tells me that he can perform these surgeries with his eyes closed!!! lol

    Hi Jasleeve. So glad you are doing better. I am new to this site (sleeved 1.19) and did not see your previous posts. Congratulations and good luck with your upcoming surgery. If you would not mind, would you please tell me the name of the surgeon who is going to preform your surgery? I live in Yorktown Heights, and had my sleeve surgery done at Northern West. Hospital. Once I get to where I need to be, I am definitely going to look into having additional surgery for the excess skin and to make girls look perky again. Be well.

    thank u love

    You have me feeling so much better right now, you sounded exactly like I do now. I was recently told that I have a stricture, it's excruciating to eat and I want to feel normal again. It's hit me so bad that I've sunk into a depression, I very rarely get out of bed and I'm in a funk because I don't feel normal. I'm glad you're doing better.

    im praying for u and i hope all is well <3

    I am so glad this thread is here! I relate to it having had my own complicatiion. You said in one of your post that the surgery almost took you from your family, I have really felt some guilt over the fact I chose a surgery that almost took me from my daughter when she needs me most. I also have felt the conflict of being glad I am losing but yet saying if I could go back I would never choose that risk. Sometimes I am angry because my complication was surgeon error (cut bowel) and had that not happened I would not have suffered the pain and the finical nightmare of bills would not loom ahead of me. Yet it was the same surgeon who saved my life that almost ended my life. I do wish he would show a little more remorse but I guess he has to think of his liabilities.

    He has made several jokes about my bowels I don't find the humor in. When he opened the incesions to drain them and found the small bowel out of place he ask if I wanted to see what it look like. Then on a follow up visit he ask if my bowels where staying in place. I told him I hoped so because that is something I had truly been concerned about. I really do not find the jokes in good taste at all

    Now seeing how good you are doing a year out makes me hopeful. I weighed 277 on 11/30 was sleeved 12/5 and weigh 256 today. I am on to purée foods. I am still not getting a full 2 cups in a day yet but I make sure I get 60 grams Protein and as close to 64 Fluid as I can so not concerned with small volume.

    Have a great Holiday thanks for helping me see what some time may do to the situation.
