Hello how is everything going for you i am also a mother and was wondering how long did it take for you to go back to your mom life? ???? not long at all I was back picking up toys in about 2 weeks

Hey everyone I was sleeved 5/29 Sw: 298 Cw:240 58lbs down so far so I'm happy. It's been quite a journey but by far the best decision ever in my life.

I've got mine a week ago. It doesn't really bother me. I lost 6 lbs last week and my appetite is the same. Different strokes for different folks.

Their way to expensive gnc stores just rip you off lol but I do love the smores quest bar. I buy pure protein as well only like 3 carbs 2 sugar n 205 protein. I need protein bars my job doesn't allow me to eat I'm always on the go as a driver lol its the only way to keep up with my protein.

First don't beat yourself up about it. We all fall short from glory every now and then. The key is not to over indulge in it. Try to find alternatives, I like quest protein chips, it took some getting use to but now their great. I eat pure protein bars too, great for that sweet toothe. We just have to switch it up a little bit to continue on the healthy side of life. Trust I have had a snack or 2 lol even a meal or 2 off track but I just don't over do it and get back on track.

I can't wait to hit that 100 mark as well but I have a long way to go I was sleeved 5/29 and I'm down 41lbs sometimes I see the difference and sometimes I don't but I'm not discouraged at all. I have been overweight my entire life and like just about everyone else I hate going out I still don't like going to the mall. I just want to get down and stay down. The little bit of self confidence I do have has risen up but I'm still to myself and trying to work on myself. Being a single parent and working full time can be a bit overwhelming at times but coming to these forums really brightens my day and gives me hope.

My pain was minimum I honestly didn't take my pain meds after the first 2 days but the bumpy roads might irritate you but as long as you take your vitamins n b12 especially b12 your energy will be pretty good

I'm a bus driver but just for the city, I took off for 3 weeks but the fatigue is pretty bad since your not eating and you just put your body through alot. Honestly you can do it though make sure you haven't your vitamins especially b12.

Hey everyone it's been a long time not only did I stall I gained!!! But I changed up I was 298 surgery was may 29, I was 265 the other week then I got to 269 and now I'm 260. I was panicking so bad but now I'm great I've lost 38lbs so far and I don't plan on stopping

I'm on soft foods

My 4 week fu appointment is tomorrow but I've been OK dropped 35lbs so far and I eat tuna and tilapia so I been very happy this week lol oh and some dressing and peas for fathers day but I'm happy to be off liquids now I feel better then before

Thank you everyone for your opinions and support as well, I honestly did not make a decision when I posted this, I simply stated that Im not too fund of keeping the child. Ms jadyn, everyone has their own beliefs there were mixed reviews on the situation the only reason you stuck out so much was for your choice of words of this is sickening to you. I have not figured out what is the best course of action yet but I have spoken to my Obgyn and she has told me either route I take would be safe which was very reassuring. Thank you all for your opinions. I wrote this post because I honestly have no support and I thought turning to my "bariatric family" seeing how hard it is when some of us have little to no support when it came down to the decision of getting surgery, would be a little more understanding and a lot less judgmental. If I wanted to be bashed about being pregnant I would have told my entire family and let them crucify me themselves. As I stated before I'm still weighing my options because this is an extremely delicate situation so thank you for your input I do value your time

My Obgyn said I would be fine either decision that I do make and its an all or nothing thing when it comes down to it. Either the baby will be OK or it wont.

Thank all of y'all I'm worried that because I went thru surgery my baby would have some major deficiencies and I know I would be a major high risk I'm just stuck between a rock and a hard place

So today I took a test and it came out positive...... I'm 3 weeks post and apparently I conceived the week before my surgery. I am beyond scared and I honestly don't want to keep the child I have a 1 year old as it is. Just in the mist of a storm right now
