I am roughly 4 mo. 2 weeks Post Op and just found out I am 5 weeks pregnant. This will be our second child. I'm in shock I think. Selfishly I'm wondering will I loose weight during pregnancy (not that I want to), but for restrictive reasons?? Im scared that bc i cant eat much, will that harm the baby? Will I loose weight after the baby? Can I still drink my Protein drinks? Did I ruin my chances of ever getting rid of this weight? I still have 45 more to loose. Help!!!

No I make it a point not to. It literally feels like I banged my head and it's bruised. My husband yells that my hair is EVERYWHERE, it's even woven into his uniform lol I knew the hair falling out was part of the game, but this tender scalp is well tender! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Ok so my hair is fallllllling out, which I knew would! Luckily I have super thick hair. It's still disturbing. So why is it only hair on my head that I'm shedding! Leg hair would be awesome right about now! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I am 2 months and a week post op. I really am able to eat anything and that's scary. I can't eat huge amounts but its still of concern. I've lost 36 so far. I haven't really been committed to the gym. Which needs to happen but I'm afraid ill have to work out for 2-3 hours etc to lose the rest (as if I didn't get the sleeve). This wasn't and isn't easy but I'm afraid I really need to do workouts like on the biggest loser! Help !!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I am almost 2 months out, 1 week away from being cleared for all food. Last night around 9pm I had a thin slice a pastrami (cold cuts). I woke up at 3am nauseous, and still now 7pm feeling the same way. I am exhausted too. Could this be bc my body didn't agree with the pastrami? I've taken my medicine so not to be nauseous and it's hasn't subsided. My stomach is making weird noises. Any ideas??? Sent from my iPhone using VST

The little crumbly black stuff that's sometimes on it. I've not had any side effects prior to this. In fact I forget I had the surgery. I can't eat a lot but I don't have many restrictions. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Received a letter in the mail for $2,000 for anesthesia. This was all supposed to be covered with my insurance! Of course I get home and my doctor and the anesthesia office is closed. It said myself and or my doc didn't get prior approval for anesthesia. Really? I'm sure I signed my first born over with all of those forms I signed at 7am IV and all on top of my nerves! I really hope I don't have to pay this crap! Sorry lol Sent from my iPhone using VST

You should have argued that you have no control over the anesthesiologist. I'm sorry you had to do that. I know of a friend who had a breast reduction and she got a bill too and fought it. Sent from my iPhone using VST

So Friday I shall be upgraded to purée! Be honest, will I get full quick? I'm scared I won't get full! Should I make my food with less broth so it's thicker, assuming I can tolerate it? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Its tough an alcoholic and a smoker can avoid social situations putting them around other smokers or drinkers. food is everywhere and we need it to survive. Commercials are my worst enemy! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thank you both! That helps so much!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I am 4 wks post op on wed. Is it to early to workout, other than walking??? Sent from my iPhone using VST

I haven't been cleared yet for going in the Water. I want to take Zumba and spin etc buttttt I'm still only eating 600-800 calories a day and on full liquid. The treadmill wipes me out after 30 minutes and I don't want to burn off all 600 calories that I have consumed. I should b cleared for purée fri! I think that will be my green light. Thoughts?
