I'm having the same issue! I am 8 and a half weeks pregnant and I think that I actually have more restriction since I became pregnant. It makes me nervous that I'm not going to be able to eat enough for this little baby. Anyone else experience more restriction after becoming pregnant?

Wedding day!

I'd shoot for 175 and then see how you feel. It's been very hard for me to get below 200. That's a lot of weight to lose! It's a huge challenge! Take One day at a time. I have to always remind myself this is for forever.

Thank you!!

One lb to go until I hit one-der-land! Scale was at 200 this morning. My own personal goal for my weight loss had been to just be below 200. Since I'm 5'10", I feel this is reasonable. Hoping to see 199 soon! Diet on point and gonna push through! SW 297 CW 200 Sleeve done 12/9/13

I bought this dress.... I don't even know how long ago.... And it has sat in my closet buried away because it didn't fit. Stumbled upon it today, and look! I so close to my goal of being under 200lb! CW 201, HW 297 Surgery date 12/9/13.

Wanted to update the pic of the wedding dress I chose. Weight loss is SUPER slow, but I have not gain (yay!) and that's a huge change for me. I am down 94 lbs in 18 months. Would like to push another 10 or so before the wedding in sept. I am working out now and feel like I'm losing inches but not pounds yet. It'll happen! Just wanted to update! I love being a VSG vet!

Trying on wedding dresses size 14.... No longer plus!!

Thanks Kathy! Your posts are always encouraging!

thanks everyone! Here's a pic. Began a new tradition this year and we cut down our own tree!

I am 1 year and 1 day out from my surgery! Gastric sleeve has been my saving grace. After struggling my whole life with diets and weight problems (almost all related to over eating) I have gotten myself now to an acceptable weight and much healthier state! I have lost 94lbs total now and am not quite to goal. I would like to be under 200lbs and after that I'll be satisfied with wherever I settle after that. I am getting married next year and am so excited to feel good about myself, ESP for that day. This was the best decision I've ever made. Ht: 5'10" HW: 297 SW: 287 CW: 203 Goal: to be under 200! So close!

Zyrtec is an allergy med.... Do you mean Zantac? There are other types of antacids that work different ways. If that one doesn't work, try another. Might ask your prenatal care provider a out trying Reglan for nausea because it can also speed up digestion.... Possibly making it easier to eat/drink more? Just a thought. Hydrate woman and take your vitamins !

Talk to your provider about a prescription for a daily antacid and antiemetic.
