Awesome, congrats!!!

congrats on both!!!now that you've lost so much weight- you have gained such freedom for your "newbie" and family - happy for you - good luck

Pinky congrats on the baby boy, I know I have said it before, but I also didn't know you were having a little guy. I will say I have one of each and boys are fun!!! Being pregnant before this surgery or after it takes a toll on your body no matter what, but heres the good thing, you doing it after means you will just be more healthy during your pregnancy with the weight off. I was pregnant before and while I was at one of my heaviest points and It made for me to have many problems with my second pregnancy. You will do great, and after the baby comes, you will be back to loosing like before. Your going to do great, and be a great mama!!!

138 lbs down holy moly bud!

goal - relish every moment of your new and wonderful life - take care

just realized you are preggo!!!! congrats ,- you will now being running all the time after he/she - and play later too!! soooo happy for you

thank you so much and yes I am nervous for it since I was only 6months post op when I found out but doctors are telling me im doing fine with everything so baby should be ok .... and im excited knowing I can keep up with a little one

Let me know how it goes, cause I still would like to have one more?

ahhh congrats!!! That's awesome, are you super happy? I would like to have 1 more!!!

thank you just not sure this is my first child and I have no idea how this will effect the surgery being as im 6 1/2 months post op..

Just talk to your OB, and your surgeon, they should be able to advise you, but I don't think that it really is going to effect you any, just make sure you get in your vitamins, and your protein still, I think the way you eat now will probably be better for the baby anyway, cause your eating in a healthier way, plus it's going to be better for you too, cause your not heavy like before and your less likely to have pregnancy diabetes!!! I had that and it stinks!!! Be happy god gives us babies when he is ready!!! He must think your ready to be a mom!!! This is an amazing thing!!!

a better quality of life....eat clean, exercise and stay hydrated..you are a success

Awesome, I have 9 lbs, it feels fantastic!!!

Dear Pinky4562,

The thing that stood out when I read your post and last comment was, "I can do things for myself." I'm guessing he was your primary caregiver during your recovery... He may be feeling "unneeded" which can turn into "unwanted feelings", "she doesn't need/want me anymore" in many a case. Try giving him back some responsibility, in a sense, so he can more slowly wean out of the "she can't survive without me" phase. He needs to transition to "Look at what all my help did for her! I'm proud to have done it; I'm proud of her!" Each person is different in their needs as a caregiver, so you will have to do some figuring out for him. Perhaps the first thing is to turn over something to him that you are doing for yourself now, and just let him know that perhaps you are a bit too ambitious; you want to back up a little, and you need him to do this or that, etc... because that or this was so beneficial in your healing and now you need him back on the job! For your physical and mental health. [This is all true and there are no false statements in telling him this, because the unrest between the 2 of you could have a negative effect on your health and your emotional well-being.] I've had previous health issues before that required about 3-4 phone calls from my husband during his work day to check in on me. Eventually, I didn't need that anymore, and it was a pain to keep answering the phone as I was chasing 4 kids around. But due to me sensing he felt "unneeded", I told him I needed 2 calls, still, and then after some time cut it to 1, and a couple months later I rarely get a call unless I ask him to call. My experience, I'm sure, is small in comparison but it really helped him. Oh, I also gave him back the job of putting the laundry away after I folded it. I had to give up my OCD about putting clothes away just so in the dressers and closets, and we have all survived - haha! 3 years later that is still his duty. Hope this helps!?

It's hard going threw the same thing. We fight all the time now and every time I go out now it's a problem. I have no idea what to do

thank you for the comments and 22pix i feel your pain i love the man to death but i cant keep being treated like this i deserve better and it sucks cus he was supportive but was halfass at helping me i was in the hospital for 3/4 days he was there for 1 of the days and then said he couldnt do it no more he wasnt working at the time so when i got out the hospital he would leave me at the house now im down 100+ pounds and when i leave to go to work or to the store its liek interigation time and i feel he doesnt trust me i havent done anything to this man for him not to trust me ... yes he has helped out but never depended on him for a thing.... i just feel i deserve better then how im being treated he just doenst see what he is doing wrong

I've been out of surgery 1yr2months,I've lost a total of 113lbs.I've never had no complcations.no dumping.no nausea.really no pain after surgery.the problem I do have is the change.problems in my relationship.that I've been in for 9yrs.he acts different.he has pushed me away.and never has complemented me.very rude to me.I don't understand him.plus I had friends.and family treat me in a rude way .all women,I didn't expect people to treat me different.

i eat alot of high protein food as well and i snack ofter but i dont eat much when i snack except sunflower seeds and gum haha i demolish them but it takes forever and i dont eat as much it takes about 5hrs to eat 1 serving of seeds for me so perfect snack on my days i cant stop chomping lol... thanks for your help ladies much appriciated i thought i was overeatting and now i see its just a wide range and is diffrent for every1

I'm 7 weeks post bypass, my Doc and Nut did not give a calorie limit, they just said 60 to 80 grams of protein, 100 grams of carbs, and 30 grams of fats, with at least 10 grams of good fat being consumed at one meal. I am getting in 60 to 70 grams of protein a day, but rarely meet the carb and fats limits. Nut says that ok for now, to just concentrate on the good dense proteins.

Me too.

You go girl !

I feel the same!!!

Don't throw it all away, take ithome and have the meat for another meal !

don't beat yourself up over it, we all have to fight the demons from our past and love for food, I only lost 1 lb this week and I think it's cause I found that I am tolerating more carbs and I need to back away from them!!!

yeah i deff. had a moment they barely put any meat on it so not much to save.. had to check myself today i cant make that mistake again needless to say the bread got stuck and i was in pain all night so liquids today and hope for a better day tomorrow .. and yes carbs are crazy for me too! i love i can take a little and put the rest away but i know there is other food i should be eating that would benefit me more!

Great job!

thank you i feel great

Super!!!

So what is this chicken thing that you eat??? I am always looking for new ways of getting in my protein!!! I am restricted to what I eat and how much, I have a hard time with a lot. and getting hungry quick is definitely not an issue I have!!! I am never hungry???

its a weight watchers brand in the frozen section it comes in a box that is blue and white and i get the low sodium chicken seasoning and just bake it they have chicken breast 31g or they have chicken strips there the best chicken i have had so far after surgery

huh, I will have to check into it. Thanks

I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU PINKY4652 THAT IS AWESOME

My doctor told me this morning that woman tend to lose inches first, then lbs. I notice the clothes too are too big, but when I look in the mirror or on the scale it looks the same. We will get there, we will!

yeah at the begining of this i weighed myself everyday and i made somebody take my scale lol but im happy right now with how everything is turing out thanks so much for the support

it is amazing Pinky4652 how much you learn in such little amount of time...hope its good things...glad to see you are doing okay

check out the world according to egg face. shes got some great ones!

thank you i will!

Yep I know what you mean. Wonderful feeling when you can get back into your old clothes.

My daughter loves Smart Delights by WW.

Thank u I'm trying to find stuff with low sugar but not sweetened with spend a

Sugar free Popsicles has 5 calories per Popsicle.

Awesome, I am so happy you feel better!!! It just keeps getting better, I am very happy that I had my surgery and I am down 33lbs in a month and a half, and although I am still finding things I can't eat, I am finding a lot that I can, and I like that!!!

Try not to focus on the scale. I did that for awhile, and it isn't healthy or helpful. Enjoy the extra energy and new activities. The weight loss will come in time.

Congrats!!! That is such a wonderful feeling!! WooHoo to energy!! I totally get it! I'm doing yard work that i have wanted to do for years but was unable.

Try pickles as they have the crunch!! Not the same I know but it helped me!!

Definitely will try that :-)

3 mo out and I still haven't eaten any. LOL Carols5417 is right. You need to find healthy substitutes.

Tmi but constipation is hell my stomach is a mess I feel nauseous and idk what to do

Stool softenfers for staters. 2 a day....As for your stomach, are you eating properly and not getting ahead of the plan? If you are giving the proper diet a fair try and not eating the wrong things, then you should contact your doctor.

I haven't been jumping ahead sticking to pureed food I got to call them today I called them yesterday and was told to try miralax and sunna together my stomach is in knots it's horrible

What brings you nausea? It will go away eventually, you are tough, and you can do this!! I had a hard time with that for the first few days but now I am good?

This is 3 weeks later idk what is causing them but it sucks and hits me out of know where

have you talked to your doctor? I would suggest that you do!!
