Hi Did u have much trouble conceiving? We are trying and haven't had any luck yet! Any feedback would be great Krystal Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Hey Krystal, We had to go through IVF. I had PCOS so I wasn't ovulating so this was the only way. We could have fallen pregnant naturally this time round as my body was working normally but we had 1 embro left and also hubby works away 4 weeks at a time Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Great to hear from you Liss!!! Welcome to all the new aussies!! Well an update I'm pregnant with sleeve baby number 2 and this time it's a boy I haven't really put on too much weight yet but I did put on weight in the 10 months after Madi was born. But at least I'm healthy and once this little guy comes in January I'll be doing all I can to get back to my 81kgs!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks Ausmith. Well I put on 14kgs with the pregnancy and after a week in hospital I had lost 11kgs! I have still to lose those last 3kgs. My restriction isn't as it was before I got pregnant. But it is tigher than it was with the pregnancy. I've just started exercising as of today and it feels great getting back into it. I'll keep you all updated as to how I go

Hey everyone, Well I had our little daughter on the 29th July. Miss Madison Elsie was born at 6.29pm weight was 7.05lb via emergency c section after an all day labour and her getting stuck. All went well in the end. I thought I'd better let you all know. After a long 2yrs I finally got what I wanted and why I got the sleeve for. Cheers Bec

Cheers Bec Bec that's amazing I know you tried really hard to get to this point in your life. Good luck next week. Don't forget to let us know how your going. Thanks so much. Yeah it's been a long 2yrs to get here but worth it all. I'll def keep you all posted ????

Hi guys!!!! It's been ages since I was on here!!!! Life has been busy. I'm due to have my first bub next week ???? Everything has been great with the pregnancy and I have only put on about 15kgs which is great. Yes I freaked at first but I'm happy to say it is all in my tummy and some Fluid in the legs. I'm able to eat heaps but still sticking to my normal foods and have no issues with my blood work which is great. It's awesome to see newbies on here and the oldies too. Keep up the good work guys. The sleeve was the best thing I ever had done Cheers Bec

Cool. I hope he gets u in when u want

Yeah it does depend on ur surgeon. Plus I knew everything about the surgery and why I wanted and needed it. So Dr Daoud said I was in the right frame of mind. Which surgeon are u going with?

I know I didn't need to see a phyic so from my first appointment to surgery was 6 weeks for me. I'm also in Brisbane

Great to hear from you again!! I was wondering how you were going. I hope you can work through the pre op. It is hard but once you get past the first 4 days you feel better. But maybe check with other surgeons that don't require you to do a pre op. Good luck with your journey and I hope you work out the best optionfor yourself. We're all still here for you Cheers Bec

Hi Ausmith! 12 months already for u that is awesome. How has ur journey been? I'm doing well. We had our first full IVF try last month but I lost it after a week. But that's ok. We're trying again in November. Well this last week I have put on 1.5kgs but I don't know why. But I'll get it off again ???? I think everyone has finally got their lives back and that's why it's so quiet on here. It's great that we have busy lives, but yeah it would be great to hear from everyone from time to time Cheers Bec

I was given the ok by my surgeon to start trying for a baby 9 months out. I'm now 15 months post op and will be doing my 6th IVF cycle next month. All u need to do is ask ur surgeon when they are ok for u to start trying

Hi everyone!!! Sorry I haven't been around for ages. Life def gets busy when you get the weight off!! Well I have been very busy with all my IVF cycles. We are currently on round 1 of full IVF and am doing the horrible 2 week wait!! But on the up side I had acupunture for my ivf and my friend who did it, helped me with my bowel issues. Since last Saturday I have been going everyday!! Anyway after a 3 month stall I'm finally losing again!! Yay!! I'm now down to 84.1kgs from my start weight of 142.5kgs. I couldn't be happier. This was the best thing I have ever done. Life is great and my hubby and I have been camping so much over the last few months. Plus we went to Hayman Island at the start of August for my brothers wedding. We went hiking, in an seaplane and went snorkeling. It was the best second honeymoon. And I felt like I fitted in! Plus it was the first time my brother had seen me since my op! He had to do a double take. It was the best feeling and he gave me the biggest hug ever (he is a person who doesn't do hugs lol) Anyway ladies and gents. I'll let you all have a great weekend and I'll be dropping by more now. Take care Bec

I had trouble losing weight when I came off the pill and my PCOS showed it's ugly head. I had tried every diet under the sun and could not lose a gram!! I know it's hard but when I did my 2 week pre op Optifast diet I lost 7kgs. Maybe if u haven't tried a shake diet u might want too. Or go back to ur GP and ask for some help

Me too!! I still think I'm the fat girl! I just hope one day we'll feel normal Keep up the great work girls u all look awesome

I forgot too!! 3rd June for me

I'm just over the 1 year mark and I still can't eat lettuce!! I can eat it but within half an hour I throw it all up! My dr said also to not eat it

Thanks evryone. I'm still waiting for Dr Daoud to come and see me and tell me what he will do

Well what a night!!! I ended up at the ER at the Mater. After 3 days of major pain when and after I eat the pain was too much. Well I'm now at Sunnybank waiting to get my gallbladder out! Just thought I'd let u all know. Welcome to all the new people. It's great to see more people joining the group. All the best with ur ops Cheers Bec

I lost anywhere from .5-1.5kgs a week. I didn't have any stalls till month 10-11. But everyone is different. Just do as ur told by ur nut and surgeon and u'll all be fine

I started getting the hunger feelings from about 6 months out. But as Misty said it is not nearly like it used to be
