I am on day 7 and going shopping for the next few weeks. I need some ideas for week 2 Full liquids, week 3 purees! The list given to me by my doctor wasn't very helpful. I'm so over the sweet Protein Drinks and need to get some Protein in so I stop feeling lightheaded and shaky all the time! Anything that ya'll loved to eat these weeks please let me know! Thanks!

Having a rough day today. All these chewable Vitamins are making me sick. I feel like everything I can eat is mostly sweet and then all the Protein waters are sweet. My stomach is upset and I am feeling weak and shaky. I have so much to get done and don't feel like doing any of it. Can anyone relate?

I feel the same exact way. I am so sick of these Protein drinks and its only day 7. I'm starting full liquids tomorrow and need some real inspiration on what to eat that isn't going to leabe me lightheaded and shaky all day!

My email is angiewiu@hotmail.com name angela Rodriguez in houston texas!!! Add me please!!!!!

When is your surgery? I'm in Houston also.

My doctors office didn't tell me anything to bring to the hospital...what are you guys bringing?

I'm interested in the Facebook group also! My surgery is Thursday!

Starting my pre op diet on Thursday! Mine is only liquids for 7 days...I don't know how I'm gonna make it through!

thanks @@mrs kaje! love the support! good luck with your weight-loss journey

@@Taraashley04 congrats on surgery date! I'm hopeful mine will be in February too! maybe we can be sleeve buddies and navigate the post-surgery pregnancy world together best of luck with your surgery ---- be sure and post updates on your progress!

Definitely!! I would love that!!

Yes I've been searching things like crazy on here! Thanks

125 pounds!

Well I found out today I was approved for my revision to the sleeve! Looks like it will be February 19th!

Looks like I'm getting my sleeve in February. I'm 28 and want to have kids basically as soon as I'm aloud to after surgery! Lol still doing my research on pregnancy after surgery.

What ever you do DO NOT use Dr Spiegel. Biggest mistake my mother and I made in our lives! I'm I'm divorced and would still feel the doctor was biggest mistake lol. I was self pay too. I am now using UT physicians on bellaire. Seeing Dr Mehta, both Wilson's are great too!

Can I ask why? He is my doctor!

Feb 19th in Houston! Dr Spiegel

February 19th!

I have researched this topic too, because I'm only 25 and definitely plan to have kids with my fiance in a few years. You can have babies after having DS surgery. I believe they say to wait 2 years before getting pregnant with all of the surgeries. I understand that the nutrition deficiencies are a big concern for getting pregnant after DS though.

How soon do you plan to get pregnant? I'm thinking maybe if it is very very soon, you might want to have the baby before surgery?

Good luck to you!

Figured out how to quote after the last post! lol...still learning here!

My doctor did not say to wait 2 years after the sleeve, he only mentioned waiting with the DS. Now I need to ask him to be sure...definitely want to lose the weight before I get pregnant!

Hi all.

I had my lap band surgery surgery 3 years ago this month and after a long miserable 3 years I am now 1 pound lighter than when I had my surgery. Never thought I would even consider another surgery, but now I'm waiting on approval to get a revision. I need to lose 125 pounds and my doctor recommended the sleeve for me instead of the switch because I'm 28 and want to have children very soon. But he said I would only lose an average 60 pounds with the sleeve. He said I could come back and do the switch after I'm done having kids... But I don't want to have to have another surgery, I want to do it right this time.

My main concern is having children right after the switch. My doctor first told me that I needed to wait for a while and now he's saying to consult with my OBGYN to see what she says. I thought my mind was made up but now I'm stressing that the sleeve isn't going to be enough for the weight I want to lose.

I'd appreciate any help or suggestions!

I am also having the same concerns as you in deciding on a surgery. I need to lose 125 pounds and my doctor also recommended the sleeve instead of the switch because I'm 28 and want to have children very soon. But he said I would only lose 60 pounds also with the sleeve and i could come back and do the switch after I'm done having kids. I don't want to have to have another surgery, I want to do it right the first time. I've already had the lap band 3 years ago and am now getting a revision, so a 3rd surgery for me is not an option. My man in concern is having children right after the switch.
