I read that it helps lose weight and I totally plan on breastfeeding! I hope it will help me jump back on track, plus it has so many benefits for both baby & I.

I am currently 33 Weeks pregnant and have been concerned about how my weight loss might continue after the baby is born. How have fellow Sleevers that had a baby a little over a year out from surgery got back on track with their weight loss and how difficult it was? My partner and I are both nervous that I won't be able to lose weight. Pregnancy causes weight gain no matter what, but I know I have given into craving more than I would like too. Nothing to crazy but I'm aware that I have strayed a little.

Any cookie recipes? I don't know about anyone else but I'm sick of Jello and pudding.< /p>

I'm almost two weeks out from surgery and bought pill form Multivitamins that meet every requirement. They are HUGE! I would like to save them for when I'm along further so I am in need of a Gummy form. If there is one with Iron already in it would be best if possible. Taking iron by itself makes me sick any suggestions fellow sleevers?

I'm sort of in the same boat. My husband asked me a few times before surgery would I leave him once I got skinny. We have been married for almost 7 years and had been having issues way before I considered weight loss surgery. I recently told him I was unhappy and he says that he feels the surgery was my "exit strategy". I ignore him when he tells me that I realized that he is refusing to take responsibility for his actions and him mentioning my surgery is his way of deflection. I decided that we needed to separate for a little while to see if the marriage is worth saving. I do love my husband and I don't know what the future will bring, but I refuse to live the rest of my life being unhappy. I hope everything works out with you and your SO.

Thank you for sharing. I hope that everything works out for what is best for you! And congrats on your surgery!

I didn't progress through any of my food stages early. Even though I "felt" fine, who knows what was really going on on the inside. It wasn't worth risking my healing or causing a leak just so I could chew food one day sooner, you know?

I actually never once pureed anything during my pureed phase. I drank my Protein shakes, had strained cream Soups a LOT, and used the recipes on Shelly's page (mostly the baked ricotta) here:

I did a lot of cottage cheese and yogurt. And once I was allowed soft foods, a lot of scrambled eggs and soft cheeses.

I checked out the website you link and love it! Thank you! And thank you everyone who is commenting!

Hello Sleevers!

This is kind of a two part post! I have another week on liquids but I was curious if any of you guys decided to move onto the puree phase a day or two early. I don't know if I will try or not but I've been pretty good with Jello and cream Soups. I may try and if it doesn't go well then I'll go back to Jello for a couple more days. I'm struggling with getting Protein big time so I'm looking forward to being able to have more options. My second curiosity is what you guys made and ate during your puree phase and if you blended everything or just chewed extra well. Also, if you did a different phase earlier I would like to know about that as well My curiosity always gets the best of me.

I noticed my left eye was a little wonky when I put my contacts in. I'm glad I stubbled upon this post because I too had a little patch behind my ear that I discovered on my own. I notice it was better yesterday when I put my contacts in, so maybe just give it a little time

I love that you mention this! Last night I had this amazing dream that my fathers GF made me this delicious mushroom and jalapeño hamburger. I woke up thinking "What the heck?!". Of course "heck" was a different word but I'm keeping it reader friendly! :-P

Hello my fellow Sleevers!

I just had my surgery on Dec. 7, 2015. My partner and I have been together for about 5 years and we're engaged. Now that I have had my surgery my SO keeps making the comment that I will get skinny and leave the relationship. I constantly reassure that will not happen and if it did it wouldn't be because of being skinny and wanting attention. I'm curious if you guys have experienced this with partners. Did your relationship change after you lost a lot of weight?

I'm having surgery in March, and I can't seem to find any one that is around my age. Everyone at my support group is 40+ so I'd like to talk with someone who will have closer results to what I will have.

How is the loose skin post-op? I am 310 pounds, 5'7" and looking very forward to surgery!

I'm 25 and just had surgery on December 7, 2015! I'm 5'6" and weighed 332 lbs on my surgery day. I'm sorry I cannot comment on any loose skin but I have lost 14 lbs to date! When you get closer to your surgery I can give some information about that I have also not encountered many people my age.
