allisonmae33 reacted to Rebaslp in Any June sleevers out there?
I start my liquid diet on June 13th and my surgery date is June 27th. After a year of medical tests and doctor appointments, I am ready. I am excited to become comfortable in my skin again. I have been uncomfortable for far too long.

I can tell you my sister didn't have the sleeve but had the lap band while breastfeeding and she breastfed through her 3 week nothing but slim fast shakes and then after surgery. I know that the band and sleeve are different and every patient is different but just wanted to share. She had no problem with it and went on to breastfeed until her son turned 2.

My daughter wasn't very picky since she wasn't exclusive for very long but a friend of mine had a hard time weening. She used a supplemental nursing system and started introducing her LO t formula while nursing. I have seen them for $15 or so online. Idk if it will help but I started giving my LO rice Cereal at 3 months because she always seemed hungry

Unfortunate I would suggest stopping first. You take in so few calories when you do the pre op diet and post op that your body is really going to struggle producing milk. Plus with how restricted you will be for months after until you reach your "normal" it will be hard to get all the nutrients you need for your body let alone the calories and nutrients to provide to baby. I was only banded for 2 yrs before j had my LO and I had a hard time with supply. I did the best I could but I had to supplement and then stop completely. I just couldn't supply enough. The process to get WLS can take 2-4 months, sometimes longer so that would give both you and your new baby time to adjust to the switch.
Congrats and goo luck

Welcome and congratulations on the new baby!
I have no answer about the breastfeeding question but there may be someone who has some insight.
Best of luck and keep us posted on how you are doing.

You have great days ahead. I started pre op diet at 380, surgery date 2/24/16 I weighed in at 364. Now just over two months later I weigh 299. Take full advantage of this first couple months and, take it from me, the results can be unbelievable. 81 pounds in 86 days! I would never have dreamed it.
