  1. I had my son July 25th of this year. I lost 26 lbs between the first and second trimester. I gained 3 lbs in the last trimester. After I gave birth I lost 10lbs of everything in there I am assuming. Now I am at 318 when the first day I went to the doctor I was 365 at 6 weeks 5 days.
  2. I was sleeved on Oct. 31 2013 and immediately got pregnant. I just had my son July 25th 2014. He was 6.9oz a small baby but his healthy and doing great. He will be 5 weeks tomorrow.
  3. I got pregnant very soon after my surgery. I am 29 weeks today and have lost 30lbs and have not gained a thing. At first i was losing about 5lbs a month or more. Now i am losing about a lb or 2.
  4. I got pregnant 3 weeks after being sleeved. Yeah am not sure exactly how all that worked out. Anyways I am 28 weeks now yes vomiting was bad in the first trimester but i try hard to keep up with hydration. I have lost 30lbs since i found out and my baby is measuring ahead. I am on acid reflux meds because i have it bad but i did have it before baby. Nausea is tolerable you will get used to it! Congrats
  5. Any pregnant ladies with the sleeve fail the glucose test? Idk if my doctor knows how to deal with my sleeve. I am 27 weeks and failed it.
  6. I had an opps moment on this pregnancy. I havent had a period in like 6 months I have PCOS and 3 weeks almost 4 I tested positive. I actually tested because i vomitted i was almost sure i ate to fast but no i was pregnant. My doctor deals with high risk but not wls patients guess that's why i see my surgeon every month.
  7. I am 16 weeks and i have lost 18lbs. My ob wants me to gain 15 if i need to gain weight. He says most women change to healthier eating habits which leads to weight loss
  8. thats what happened to me I am 15 weeks post op and 12 weeks pregnant. That was a big opps. I have pcos so I was really surprised. I am still losing weight just not as fast. Since i found out i was pregnant I have lost about 17lbs. My ob says that's at a good rate and my baby is on track.

  10. Wow that is amazing. I had surgery oct. 30th. I had sex a week later and here I am 6 weeks pregnant. I found out i was 3 weeks nov. 19th.
  11. So how many weeks post op where you then when you found out?
  12. I am on progesterone also. What it is, is a hormone your body makes naturally when your pregnant before 12 weeks I believe it helps sustain the pregnancy. I for example had a progesterone level of 11.5 when i found out i was pregnant which is on the lower normal end. I was put on progesterone. I did some research and anything less than 10 during pregnancy can cause a miscarriage.
  13. I was banded last year in feburary. I lost about 85lbs. It was complicated I was constantly being overfilled and I would throw up. After a few months I got acid reflux and it swelled my band completely shut twice. Finally in March of this year the whole band slipped and I gained 50 of my lbs back. I was sleeved 10/30 and I feel better except my acid reflux. I am against the band now
  14. Hmmmm good idea. I didnt think of mixing. Man it is a little early in the game to not be wanting protein anymore. Maybe hot chocolate for me.
  15. Well thats good... the weight is not melting off like I would like, but it will be ok. I do not get the stuck feeling, but I do get the super stuffed feeling really fast. I can eat about 2 oz in a sitting. I try to drink a lot of water also. One problem i do have is this protein shake thing. I get nauseated drinking it. Even thinking about it makes me want to throw up.
  16. Whats everyone eating these days? I can drink the liquids pretty normally. So much better than the stuck feeling from the band. I am working on pureed now. Seems ok I get full extremely easily. My acid reflux is pretty bad. Its getting worse.
  17. 14 days post op with reflux at night. I'm at full liquid stage. Is it possible i am just " eating" to late? I take prevacid every morning.
  18. I had surgery on 10/30. I had that feeling if I drank to fast and if it was cold. Just drink maybe smaller sips.
  19. I was freezing my first week post op. My feet were cold even with socks on. I thought i was catching a cold.
  20. I am regularly a stomach sleeper. I am only 5 days post-op. Will I still be able to sleep on my stomach eventually? I ask this because on my 3rd day I woke up on my stomach and with acid reflux.
  21. Thank you so much guys for your words. I will do my best. Glad all is well on you guys end.
  22. ***Band to sleeve conversion*** Hw: 410 before band Sw: 375 Lw: 333 Slipped band now switching to sleeve Surgery 10/31/13 Hw: 389 Sw:370 Unknown current weight I have had A LOT of IV fluids. Having a hard time drinking what I need to be.
  23. It's 2 days post op for me and I am still in the hospital for the swelling around my stomach. It causes me a lot of discomfort to drink and it makes me short of breath. I am pushing threw it though. I have not been hungry yet. Maybe that's the swelling?? Anyone have that problem?
  24. Ok so first day post op. I was a band to sleeve revision. My new stomach decided to swell. Now I can't eat or drink anything. I had my barium swallow done this morning for the leaks. No leaks just that the dye wouldnt go down!:\
  25. So I am waiting for them to call me back. This is really happening. I'm a nervous wreck. Wish me luck guys. Good luck to the others joining me today. God bless us all.
