Haven't popped in this forum in a while... I am now 8 months out from surgery and have lost 150 lbs! I am only 15 lbs from goal so we are definitely TTC. Hoping it happens naturally! Congrats to all the pregnant Sleevers!

Cograts Andi! My thoughts are with you though I am sure all will be well. Thank you all for your responses.I am now 6 months out and have lost 112 lbs. I have about 50 lbs to go to hit goal but I actually wouldn't be upset if I got pregnant before hitting goal.

Talk to a high risk OB before stopping any meds. Stopping either the Cymbalta or Oxy suddenly could actually be dangerous for you and the baby. Many women take opiate pain meds throughout pregnancy if absolutely needed. The baby will just have to be monitored for a few days. Congrats!

Thanks again Cheri. Funny you posted what you did because this month I am using Fertility Friend(BBT), OPKs , AND the Clearblue fertiltiy monitor! I want to try and get a handle on things and see where I'm at before getting pg. Funny thing is that I have a long history with my ex H of infertility issues. But with my DH now as soon as I lost 100 lbs (back in 2007) I got pregnant. So I'm hoping that losing this weight will do the trick. Thanks again for your input! Thanks so much and good luck with your Sleeve!

Thanks Cheri, I didn't realize obesity help had a pg forum, going to check it out. I have noticed that my cycles are becoming MUCH more regular as I had months of no period when I was at my heaviest. So that is a good thing!

My surgeon? No it has not been discussed as I don't plan on getting pregnant right away, I'm only 4 months post op. I'd like to get to goal first or close to it. Maybe by the end of the year.

Well ladies it looks like I will have to hurry up and get preggers so I can say YES that it does happen,lol! I've just heard so many stories of pregnancy happening after WLS but maybe they're all young chicks?

Nobody?

Yes I'm nuts for wanting another baby at my "advanced maternal age", blah. But just wondering if this has happened to you older mamas? My DS keeps asking for a little brother and it breaks my heart!

This sounds like what may be happening to me, ugh. I'm almost 2 weeks out and haven't lost anything for the past few days. I initially lost 21 lbs, GAINED 1 and now stalled. Way too soon!

At 6 months out I wouldn't worry.

See this is surprising to me. I am not on pain meds and 4 days out. I don't feel comfortable driving just yet due to the weakness. I could drive if I had to but I would like to feel a bit stronger first.

Love this thread! I want skinny jeans with bling bling for sure. I also want a REAL bathing suit, maybe a tankini for starters. Right now I wear swim shorts with my maternity bathing top,ugh. I love clothes and can't wait to feel cute again.

Another 3/15 sleever here. I'm lucky in that my pain isn't so bad at all but I just feel crapola. I think that we need to remember to rest also sometimes. Yes, walking is good for lots of things but try not to overdo it and nap when you feel tired. I swear I am having the best sleep!

I so need to read these posts saying it gets better. I am so doggone tired and only getting about 30 oz in at 3 days post op. I can't imagine anyone walking a mile!
