I will pray that your situation will get better, I suggest you talk to him heart to heart and let him know you need help!

What a mix of emotions you must be having right now. Congratulations! Sometimes the best things in life are unexpected (I know, cliche but true!). And the surgery for the sleeve will be still here waiting for you if you are ready further on down the road. You are young, and six months of dieting seems like a long time to go through all the process again someday, but you never know what will happen in the future. Besides, in the mean time you will be enjoying and loving your beautiful new baby =) I wish you all the best!

wow what a surprise! Of course it will take you time to process and then the excitement will kick in..just had this happen to my daughter and a coworker, both after
14 years since babies. You have started such good habits and if you nurse you may end up much smaller than you started. Also I know all my classes, approval etc is good for 1 year according to my insurance so you may not have to start from scratch if you do continue on the surgery path.
Regardless I know one year from now you will be saying this was the best thing that could have ever happened in your life!

All I can say is I know how you feel... I seriously didnt expect to fall pregnant at 43 ... I wish you all the happiness your bundle of joy will bring.

Prayers for you with all you're struggling with. I hope you find peace soon! Bless you.

Wow - I don't know if I should say "congratulations" or "I'm sorry." (it's always happy, but you seem like you really didn't want it now)
See how long your supervised diet will be valid for, and how soon after pregnancy he will do the procedure. Then just work hard to keep your focus during pregnancy. That's such a hard time to not pack on the pounds. And I don't mean the expected pounds, I mean the "I can because I'm pregnant" pounds!

BTW, I had to re-read "13 years after having my daughter" when I saw your pic, because unless you had her when you were like 3, you photograph seriously young. (That's a compliment)

Wow that is crazy.... they made me take a pregnancy test an hour before surgery and said there have been people that they have had to tell, like you. I know there must be so many emotions. I can only imagine as I think back to both of my surprise pregnancies. All I know is that God is always good and knows what He is up to. I am sure that His timing is perfect and if you have asked yourself if you should do this right now.... you have your answer. I will be praying of you to have peace and comfort as your process what all of this means for you and your family.

GREAT QUESTION....
I want to cross my legs.
I want to walk up stairs without breathing so hard.
I want to sit in a seat an tbe person next to has room.
I want to buy clothes out of any store, not plus size only.
I want to weight less than 200 lbs.
This is just a few things tbat I want to accomplish.

From some posts I've read, I'm feeling fortunate:
We are:
Wk1: Clear liquids & Protein Shakes
Wk2: Add puree consistency(no chewing)- nothing thicker than mashed potatoes (can have grits, oatmeal and refried beans!)
Wk3: Add soft foods (some chewing)- eggs, fish and some canned meats, cooked or canned fruits
Wk4-6: Increase texture- Protein Bars, poultry, most meats except steak and chops, raw fruit as tolerated.
Wk7/8: Lifetime Maint Diet

My friend was sleeved 2 wks prior to me and she had a cocktail this weekend and said she was fine.. I guess for each it's own..someone from this site emailed me and said they waited 4 wks and told me to add a splenda and add a splash of Water in the alcohols used for the margaritas and mix w/fresh lime, lemon and oranges

I just sent an email for the support where I downloaded the app.... maybe they can help

Welcome, you will love this site. I know I do!

I am so sorry to tie up space with this post but I use the VST app on my cell phone and I havent been able to get it to "contact remove site" all day. I will die without it!!! Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Thanks!

Good luck!

I'm on my way to the hospital for surgery! Now that the day is here it seems that it came so fast. I have a million thoughts and emotions right now, which I'm sure is normal.
Please say a prayer for me, good luck to all the others moving to the bench today
