Yes, im doing everything. I got down to 185 8 months out and gotten pregnant back to back.and the weight doesnt seem to want to come off... i still gottanlose 100lbs again...

Thank you so much..ive tried looking i dont get much, ill keep looking.

No, I never heard of beong resleeved.could be and option, but with heartburn and all.maybe i should go to bypass

is anyone thinking about converting over to the bypass?? if you are what are the reasons?

Im in the process of converting over, I have an apt july 8th im gonna mention it. Im getting reflux again, don't have my restriction anymore and not losing the weight anymore and I still have 100 lbs to lose. im looking at my future here...

looking for others!

Thank you! i did lose 3lbs from yesterday, but i think its more from stress, my 1 month old daughter was admitted to the hospital last night. So im stressed.

But again thank you!

had my sleeve 10/2012 and since then gotten pregnant twice. before I got pregnant I lost 115lbs. now I seem to not have any restriction..i barely feel full. im barely loosing.

my question is are drs very strict on switching patients over? do u have to have a good reason tow revise, is having no restriction good enough? how easy is it..i don't want them to deny me...my apt not til July 8th, that's when im gonna mention it. I got down to 185 before pregnancy and im at 239 right now. I just feel the sleeve doesn't like me anymore...and I have 130lbs to lose still...also if u have any info on the bypass, I appreciate it!

I had the sleeve 10/9/2012, and I lost a total of 115lbs by june 2013. gotten pregnant had my daughter in march 2014, august gotten pregnant again just had my daughter May 8th 2015. well in that time I lost the Water weight, and now not losing much at all, and have like no restriction. I never feel full anymore...im currently looking at revision to bypass...I still have 130lbs to lose..

I remember you from the forums, I had my surgery 10/1/12. I lost about 53lbs pre and post op. My weight loss was SUPER slow!!! I got pregnant a year post surgery and gained 40lbs. After the baby, I started experiencing horrible GERD. I also was not losing weight at all. Slider foods like crackers much easier(not good I know) but something didn't seem right. So I consulted a new bariatric dr. as my first surgery was in

S. America. He told me he has seen stretched sleeve post-pregnancy. Not mind you I was very diligent when pregnant. So he sent me for a barium swallow. It was discovered I did have GERD and a hiatal hernia. I went for an endoscopy last week. My sleeve is angulated (twisted) and has a bit if a pouch so food does not exit the way it should backs up in sleeve which can cause stretching and GERD. I am in the process of a revision. Get checked. I do not believe there is enough data about pregnancy and the sleeve IMO. I think there is still a lot they do not know.

Wow. Thats insane. I go july 8th. My husband keeps saying ill lose it. ITs stressful when hes not the one needing to lose.

ya, I mean I know I just had my daughter a month ago, itll take time to come off, but ive been the same for like 3 weeks...

just wished my husband was on board with at least researching it. he says theres to much malnoutrition with it and its for people bigger then me. ugh.

Yes im doing all that!

What does "eating the right stuff" mean? Are you:

--weighing or measuring your portions

--tracking everything you eat on myfitnesspal or a similar app, and making sure you are eating at a significant caloric deficit

--focusing on lean Protein and green veggies, and avoiding processed carbs, starchy veggies, and sweets, with fruits and nuts as occasional treats

--avoiding liquid calories other than Protein Shakes

--making sure you get minimum 64 oz fluids daily

5 day fast? whats that?

I had my Sleeve done 10/9/2012. by june 2013 ive lost 115lbs from the day I started my journey of 300lbs. well in June I gotten pregnant and gained 60lbs, had my daughter in March 2014. Well I tried to lose, and by august 2014, when my Daughter was 5 months ive gotten pregnant again. I still had all that weight. I just had my 2nd daughter May 8th 2015 and was up to 267, and ive currently lost 29lbs, but I know is all Water.i still have 130lbs to lose until goal now. I been at a stall for weeks and im eating the right stuff and everything.

My apron is a lot lower since having 2 kids and I get terrible rashes and the smell is horrible.. its to the point it hurts to walk and wear clothes and exercise. I use powder, barley works. Ive also noticed I don't get full as easy as I did before..i think that's a problem.

Ive made an apt with the clinic for July 8th. I just don't know what to do. I want the bypass, my husband says no, I need 130lbs off by a year and half to get the Panni done before my insurance runs out. the weight is just not falling off like it did...

Is there any tips,or anything... thank you!!

Haven't been on here in months...i had Surgery 10/9/12. I started at 300..dos I was 267..by end of June I was 185...then I got pregnant! I just had my daughter March 11th..She's perfect. .named her Annabella Faith. Couldn't get pregnant b4 surgery so she's a miracle! I'm now 231 again..but now that everything is getting back to normal...I'm starting my diet again! I'm determined to get down!. It's a little depressing though! But here goes nothing!

I look at it as being the icing on the cake at the end of the party' date=' so to speak! How exciting for all of you![/quote']

Me too. Even though its my sisters party. Im already surprising her for coming into town. And now to tell her shes going to be an aunt.what better birthday gift can there be besides the others Im giving her lol. its going to be a great day!

I think it's great that your far enough along to share the news but I don't think I would do it at your sisters party. Let her enjoy her day. Once you announce the pregnancy all the attention will shift to you. You will have 31 more weeks to spill the beans' date=' however this party is in celebration of her and I think it's important that she is the sole focus of the day.[/quote']

I have to. I live 5 hrs away from my family and thay will be the only time I will be up there to see them in awhile! So yes I have to do it at my sisters party. Theu will be extremely happy!

I like the idea of giving the card to your parents..

You can wait until your sister opens all of hers then say something to the effect of having one more card but to your parents because they deserve recognition for being great parents???

Im still giving them a card as well! Thats a definant!

that sounds sooo freakin cute!! I LOVE that idea!! GOOD LUCK!

Thanks. I was gonna put the sonogram in my sisters card instead to. Lol shes gonna be so confused. 1 week from tomorrow till they know finally! Ill be 9w2d and ive known since I was 4w3d. Long 5 weeks of not opening my mouth of such excitement!

Im going to visit my family for my 11 year old sisters birthday party. I want to tell my family then that im pregnant.

I was going to give my parents a card with a sonogram it and then the rest of the family will know. But they will be suspicious on why im giving them a card too on my sisters bday.

So I was thinking after I give my sister her gifts...I was then going to plan on saying "wait one more card"and have her open the card and its a aunt card and have her read it. But was wondering whats ur guy's ideas are. I would have a card for my parents as well. I just want the best way to tell them and the most creative. This is going to be there 1st grand child. Ideas!!!! Thanks

What ive been doing to the normal ricotta bake to add more Protein is adding cook ground beef to it.....really good!
