    Hi all, I'm new to posting on here. I'm 7 months out from my gastric sleeve surgery and just found out yesterday that I'm pregnant (probably only about 2 weeks).
    A little history about me: I had PCOS and really bad hypothyroidism for the past 7 years. Since my surgery--I've lost 85 lbs!-- all of my PCOS symptoms have disappeared, and my thyroid is perfect. I've also had two miscarriages (in 2014 and '15).
    This was not planned. Although at my last bariatric appointment I did ask about getting pregnant before my one year surgiversary, only because I was curious about trying again. She did tell me that I was very healthy across the board and it would be okay for me to get pregnant now, but that it was up to me, especially if I wanted to lose any more weight.
    I have an appointment on the 31st, and am hoping everything will be just fine. I take a lot of Vitamins, and will be religious about taking them now. I am really nervous, not so much about being a WLS patient, but more for the fact that I really don't want to go through another miscarriage.
    I'd love to be able and stay in contact with others during this and to share knowledge!

    MBollinger reacted to sherryjolene in 4 days post op and feel great.   
    I am 4 days post op being sleeved and I feel great! I have some incisional pain discomfort but not too bad. I have not had any nausea, vomiting or reflux. I have had no problem tolerating my fluids, even my Protein drinks. I feel like I could eat regular food, although I won't because I know my stomach is healing. I almost feel like I didn't even have the surgery except I don't get hungry, which is great. I am down 10 lbs from my pre op stage till now. I see so many posts with people with issues post op. Is it normal to feel this good so soon?

    I am almost 2 weeks post and yeah there are days when I regret it because I sit here and watch everyone eat all this fantastic fatty food but you know you can't have it, if you didn't have the surgery you would join them but knowing your doing it for a good reason and using it as a tool to help because most people are not mentally able to quit with the bad eating habits I know I wasn't I knew I could so I did now I know I can't so I don't and it's helping me you can get back into eating regular foods just not as much it's not a bad thing it's just a tool

    My plan allows for scrambled eggs (with a small amount of cheese if desired), cottage cheese, the usual liquids from week one, and Soups. I've been doing a variety of soups to give myself something different and usually save those as my dinner as I am doing my shakes as Breakfast and lunch.

    I had surgery August 22, 2014 and started vaping in June in order to quit smoking by my surgery. I just tapered down the nicotine in the vape until I was down to 0. Then I lost interest in the vape.
    Over 2 years smoke free and I'm prouder of that than the weight loss Good Luck!
