  1. Congratulations! Did you have PCOS prior to your weight loss?

    A doctor said I did which I don't think I did. He just asked if I had facial hair problem I said yes n he said yup you have PCOS. I should have gotten a second opinion because I actually took the medication he have me for a few months and now I have really really bad facial hair. I tweeze every other day. My obgyn told me that I did not have PCOS and for me to stop the medication immediately. I have read several folks in here who had PCOS and lost weight n conceived.


  2. 34 weeks pg w twins/ 1 year 3 mos post op.

    I'm feeling great! I haven't gained any weight. I did lose 20 since I found out I was pg and I've maintained my weight between 246-250. I just put together a photo collage and I can't believe how far I've come with the weight loss. I just wish I had someone pregnant with twins after having wls to join me through this journey :)

  3. I was 373 at my heaviest' date=' 357 pre surgery, currently 255, have gained 3lbs since pregnancy. I am no where near goal. Pregnancy was not planned but I know I wasn't careful enough. Am I totally screwed? Are my chances of reaching a healthy weight decreased because I got pregnant before I reached goal? PS when will my hair grow back?! :-([/quote']

    Relax :) I am in your shoes :) I was 11 months out when I got pregnant. My highest was 393 I was around 373 day of surgery and was near 260 when I conceived. I'm now 33 going on 34 weeks with twins. I haven't gained any weight but I did lose weight. I'm now balancing between 245-250. Don't stress. If you really want this baby just relax and see your ob and take it easy. Congrats!!


  4. I don't think the sleeve is associated with nausea. I'm pregnant with twins and didn't have any nausea what so ever. I'm one of the lucky ones. Heartburn didn't kick in until a few weeks ago and I'm 33 weeks this week.

    Hope you feel better soon to really enjoy this pregnancy. I know I'm sure enjoying my belly :) I've dreamt of this moment forever!


  5. For my shower I wore black stretch capris and a flowy top' date=' with black flats. Remember you are the mom to be, and your comfort is important. I found some beautiful outfits for my niece that is expecting at JC Penny, also Target carries some really nice maternity stuff. Remember that you will be in front of the group, and if you are not comfortable in your clothes it will show. Just wear something that looks nice, but also makes you feel like yourself. Congrats on the baby 2 be.[/quote']

    Awe thanks :) I decided to go look around today and I saw two nice shirts at motherhood but my problem area is my boobage. Shirts fit nicely around my belly a lot of extra space but my boobs literally popped open the shirt lol so I decided to go online and check out torrid. I found a very nice me type of blouse. I'll wear some black jeans n flats. Thanks for the help :)

  6. I am hoping to get pregnant after surgery' date=' I really want to have a family and it hasn't happened yet, been trying for 2 years. Good luck to all of you.[/quote']

    Trust me it will happen. I actually had a miscarriage before this pregnancy a few weeks before I conceived these two.


  7. Everyone is different and certain bodies react to pregnancy differently. My first pregnancy I lost 3 lbs and my second I gained 7. It really just depends on your body. It sounds like you know you've been lax and that's something you can work on later. Enjoy the pregnancy' date=' focus on Protein and everything will work out. More often then not, you'll leave the hospital less than your pre pregnancy weight.[/quote']

    Were both of your pregnancies after the vsg?


  8. So I'm not girly girl at all and I've never worn a dress lol I do not own heals. What in the world am I suppose to wear for my baby shower? My shower is the last Sunday of this month and I know I want to be comfy and not feel like everyone's staring at me but then if I wear something that's me I think I'll look odd. I'm a jeans and shirt converse type of girl. So I thought mate some black jeans a pink sweater and flats. Then I think it will look weird. I'm Hispanic and these folks are more into a dressy pregnoid celebration. Help! I need some help lol


  9. I'm 31 weeks preg with twin girls and haven't gained a lb. I did lose weight since I found out I was pregnant. I got preg 11 months post op. I'm a little nervous my girls will be small but my doctor says they're growing pretty good. I have weekly check ups now. :) doc set my first goal reach 34 weeks. My second goal is 37. I better pass 34 cause my baby shower is at 35 which is the last week of the month lol. I pray my babies are at least 5 lbs + each.
