I'm just waiting for my doctor to release me to TTC--He said he will probably release me in January (right after hitting the 18 month mark). I'm still curious about the statistics behind having multiples post-op...does anyone have any info for me? I don't really mind either way, I just need to know if I should mentally prepare my husband for the possibility, and I am wondering if the statistics are about the same for people without the surgery and ourselves, or do we have a higher chance of a multiples pregnancy.

Bumping and following. I should be released by my surgeon in January to TTC, and we want to do a home birth or a birthing center also.

I'm doing pretty well! I admit some days the thought of food is gross, but I think that's part of the learning curve. I find that there are days all I want to eat is cheese, or yogurt, or something along that sorts. I am now almost 2 months out, and down 55 pounds. One thing I want to be upfront with you though: at first it hurt. You're body is recovering from major surgery. However, it definitely does get better and easier <3.

Just to say upfront: We DO NOT have any intention on trying until I am at least 1 year post op... I've read that the chances of multiples go up post op...how long is this the case, and how frequently? I've struggled with PCOS ever since I was 12, so I worry that I'll be the ONE woman who will still be infertile post op...

Not too bad today. The work routine seems to help my energy. Was sleeved on 6/24 and this past weekend it seems I went backwards. Was getting in at least 3 of my New Direction protein drinks a day plus all the required water. But this last weekend I was SO FULL every time I tried to drink the shakes that I could barely get in two. Not enough calories or protein. How are you doing today? I'm doing ok. I'm just really tired today for some reason...

How is everyone doing today?

Congrats hun! Keep up the good work

Hey guys! I'm 25, and had RNY on June 30th! Nice to see some people my age

How is everyone doing today? I'm just sip-sip-sipping... So how is your first holiday going (4th of July)?

I had to do a 2 week liquid diet. And to be perfectly plain, I'm glad I did. The 2 weeks got me accustomed to what my life would be like post-op. I got the chance to combat my head hunger a bit, as well as find a Protein shake I could get down. I'm still using the same shake post-op. Everyone is different, but I really think it set me up for success.

I was once told that if I ate this cabbage Soup all day EVERYDAY I'd lose 50 pounds.. I was told by someone who was sitting there eating a poptart.

Groupon and Living Social has a lot of activity deals as well. I'm hoping my husband and I will do some of those "Paint Nites" and stuff.

I got a call as I was checking in that it was cancelled. I had a complete breakdown in the hospital. They got me in later that day though, so I was pretty lucky.

I don't mind! A bit longer. I chose the full bypass for a couple of reasons. One is that my doctor is very hesitant to do lap bands anymore. Another is that I had a WICKED sweet tooth, and felt the bypass would be the best to help combat that. And finally, that was the one my surgeon recommended for me, so I was willing to have the longer healing time.
