You might want to try the ring. U don't have to remember to take it daily and I lost weight on it even before my surgery. Def wld be careful with pills as pp said. I ran out of my ring prescription and we used condoms till I Cld get in to Dr. One fell off and I took the morning after pill next day. I was allergic to it. Covered in hives and swollen face and neck. Anyhow, it didn't work lol. I'm happy to be having another baby but really was trying to wait a year. U will b super fertile. I hope the pills work but consider the ring. It sits where it needs to and delivers the meds and your fluctuating weight and hormones are less likely to interfere. Hopefully.

You'll get pregnant a lot easier after losing weight. And if u have to use fertility treatment down the road so be it. You really aren't that old though. Have u been pregnant before?

My surgeon just shot me a look but wasn't upset. He said for me to maintain my vitamins and follow the orders of my ob. Which I haven't gone to see yet. I'm 7 weeks and 3.5 months post op. 50 lbs down. Good luck and don't stress about their reactions. U did everything u Cld to avoid it. I even took morning after pill right away and was allergic to it. This happens to a lot of women though... all that estrogen I guess lol

I was using protection and one night it disappeared so I took the morning after pill the next day. I was allergic to that pill. Broke out in hives and had a swollen neck and face. Anyhow, was expecting my period 2 weeks after pill and it never came. Waited 4 more days and tested positive for pregnancy. I was only 3 months post op when getting pregnant. It's a weird part of the journey cuz I was getting super hungry. Now I'm not hungry at all. I'm 7 weeks pregnant right now. Just hoping to make the best food choices I can. Sweets seem to be a mild craving and taste the best lol. Keeping that to one bite. Certain things sound good but then I get a couple bites in and have to give it to the dog lol. It's very strange. Have the Dr s given u ladies any tips on vitamins? I'm just following my post op vitamin regimen and haven't been to the ob yet

What about going back to 2 protein drinks and one small meal? Even at only 6 weeks out, I stall when I eat 3 meals and have to keep going back to drinks with one meal in order to lose. Don't beat yourself up. Get back on track and be proud you haven't gained. You've lost a lot. Surgery isn't a fix all but is definitely a great tool and it will always work if you work it. (((Hugs!)))

Zucchini noodles are bomb! I suggest just eating meat and sauce since u wanna get in as much protein as possible Or over broccoli even

I had a friend in high school who told me not to lose weight because I'd look like an alien cuz I have big eyes. I thought it was funny but made me get an idea of how hard it is for other people to accept change. When I lost a lot of weight my senior year from doing aerobics, I had a girl truly concerned that I was going anorexic. She asked me if I was eating and I said "are you serious? ! I had both lunch hours a day and was eating both lunches!" I loved that metabolism! Lol Is definitely hard for people to be as excited about it as we are. I've even had friends get jealous. It is what it is. They have their own battles and I have mine. You look awesome and thin but totally normal. I did not see your before and would think nothing but envy if I bumped into you! So happy for you. And ilk prolly be posting a similar thread in about a year lol

I found out after I came out of anesthesia that the Dr lied and said I had hypertension and sleep apnea lol. That's why I got approved so fast. I'm still glad I got the surgery but will be annoyed if anyone asks me about those"issues" as I'm proud to be a fat person without problems. Oh well lol. On the super cool side, I was asked by numerous hospital staff if I was athletic. My heart rate is super good apparently. 50. I still have a big head from that lol. Praising my cardiovascular health woot woot!

Cottage cheese was on my full liquid diet and it helped to feel like I was eating real food. I also had soft cheese (like cheddar) that chewed up really smooth and went down nice and easy.

So glad glad u don't HAVE to get a c section cuz that wld suck! So excited for you!

I meant to say 2 weeks... yesterday

I'm 3 weeks and cleared for mushies which I started after about a week anyway (a little) I was full liquid at 2 days post op and only clear on day 1. Kinda strange how many different plans are around for the same procedure. I don't suggest you go against ur surgeons orders but maybe see other plans and play around with your comfort level. Mine says I can swallow my horsey calcium pills buy I'm afraid to. I Shld give it a try I suppose bit i# all the food that enders my mouth has to be a mushy consistency, I have a hard time wrapping my mind around the pill. Cottage cheese was on my full liquid list and it helps to feel like your eating. Give it a shot

You can only eat so much so take a little of the things u want and nibble and feel good about being "bad" without binging cuz really you can't do that at once anyway. You'll be good

I am almost 2 weeks out and have not had an acid issue whatsoever. Free things gave me heartburn before and they no longer trigger it at all. I am worried it might develop though... I hope not!

Ya I've only pooped once in 2 weeks and that was about a week ago. It sux! I'm only 10 days post op. Not sure what is safe for me to take so early
