I'll be buddies with anyone!

I'm trying to get back on track. I had my surgery July 2013. I lost about 80lbs total. I got pregnant 9 wks post op with twins...continued to lose weight thru out. Now the twins are 2 and I've gained 30lbs by just reverting back to bad habits. I've decided to take control. I'm going to start attending over eaters anonymous tomorrow...journaling.... drinking more Water and just being more conscious of what I'm eating. I know that having a support system is important so I would love to buddy up with anyone so that we may be successful together.

Yea I tried that stuff when I first had my surgery.....ugh so nasty. I tried cold, even tried frozen as a slushie.....it's just gross. The only one I can stomach is Premier and Muscle Milk but Muscle milk has too many calories.

Count me in. .. I'm 233... goal weight of 218

Too cute

Okay so I went to my Ob today and got sent to the ER to get fluids. In dehydrated my blood pressure is low and to top it off I have a UTI. They are going to give me an IV at home, waiting on approval from insurance.

I am 13 wks post op. And 7 wks preggo....not planned went thru the whole shock and devastation period. Now I'm facing reality, with twins growing in me I have no energy for anything. Do you think my doc will put me on bed rest til the second trimester when my energy comes back.

If you're on fb there's an awesome group called Pregnant After WLS-USA.

I actually them a join request awhile back.....still waiting

I didn't go to the ER. I did have a nutrition appointment scheduled for this morning and an OB appointment for the afternoon. I decided to wait it out. My sister brought out to my appointment and my nutritionist advised me to increase my Protein intake and increase the amount of carbs. Although, with bypass you should always focus on protein I need to increase my calorie intake and I need to get some carbs in for energy for the baby. I then went to my OB appointment and they did an exam on me and saw the spotting and then gave me an ultrasound. Guess what!!!!!! I am having twins. So the spotting is considered normal. They advised me that because I am having twins I am having double the fatigue, double hormones, and double the discharge or spotting. They measured the babies and they are right on time. Then we listened to the heart beats and they are very normal. So surprise surprise to me.

So I'm 6 weeks preg. And for the past two days I have been very weak and faint. I have hydrated myself, took Vitamins, and ate Protein rich food but no improvement. To top it off TMI alert....I have been spotting brown and red and I have had some thick substance come out that I've never seen before. The spotting has been going on for over a week.

This is why birth control and condoms are important. Also' date=' monitoring your cycle on a fertility or period calendar/app like fertility friend.[/quote']

Its known that these methods are important. I have been using the natural method for going on three years and haven't had a problem. I'm married so the use of condoms are not a factor thanks for your input though.

Oppps I meant to say I'm almost three months. I'm 10 weeks. I go see my surgeon tomorrow and I'm anxious to find our what is in store. I barely meet my regular nutrition requirements.

I don't how I'm going to tell my surgeon. This is so unexpected.

LOL as I am reading this opening my Real fruit Newtons my co-worker peeks over the desk to see what I'm eating lol smh.

Chobani Yogurt and Protein Shakes. oatmeal and farina work great as well but there isn't much Protein in those foods but you can always add protein. Sometimes I will have some canned salmon with farina...Tastes great.

My hubby wasn't on board when I decided to get RNY either. I think he was afraid of the risks, loose skin, and the potenital of me changing for the worst. It has been a little over two months and 42 lbs later he is not complaining....he is loving it....if you know what I mean

Congrats....that is awesome

Wow you look great

Nsaids have always worked better for my pain but my surgeon told me....no more. So I'm stuck with Tylenol.

Yea I'm going through the same thing. The weight is just coming off so slow and the last couple of weeks have been very discouraging so I'm going to just stay off the scale and just weight myself at my surgeon's office. Otherwise, I will just drive myself crazy. lol

It's always best to err on the side of caution, you should be in good health prior to surgery. After surgery your body is recovering and shouldn't be bound by trying to fight against a virus while healing as well.

I'm having the same problem....You have to ensure you meeting your goals for Protein, Water, and excercise. I have only lost 3 lbs in the last two weeks.

I think as long as you follow through with all the requirements you should be fine. I had called my insurance company prior to setting up first dr appt and then the surgeons' office actually checked with the insurance company before scheduling the appt. I guess to insure that they don't waste my time and money. I wouldn't worry about it. Just be sure to select a surgeon in network.

Yes it's normal. My break down happened after surgery though....I realized that eating was my favorite activity so now I have to find things to do that don't involve food. It was hard.....the aromas, the sounds, the commericals, summer events you name it.....it was so freeaking hard to cope. But it's getting better.

Well I wish you well with your surgery.....the moments before the surgery are nerve wrecking. You will be fine.

wow you look amazing.
