  8. I'm doing great at this point. Thank you. Sleeved 4/15/17 Height: 5'6" HW: 267 SW: 244 Current: 231 This is the hardest obstacle I've ever tackled next to parenting, but I think I got this.

  10. I was the same way. I cried the entire night before, didn't get any sleep and cried the entire time I was in the hospital preop because I was so scared something may happen. Once I relaxed and trusted my surgeon everything was ok. You'll do wonderfully. Best wishes and good luck.

  14. Why can't you carry water? Don't employers have to accommodate employees if they have medical issues with a doctors note? Sleeved 4/15/17 Height: 5'6" HW: 267 SW: 244 Current: 234 This is the hardest obstacle I've ever tackled next to parenting, but I think I got this.

  20. Thank you for explaining that. I agree with your comments. Sleeved 4/15/17 Height: 5'6" HW: 267 SW: 244 Current: 234 This is the hardest obstacle I've ever tackled next to parenting, but I think I got this.

  23. The only issue I'd say I'm having is with my incisions. They sting sometimes and two still have stitches that I have to remove on my own. Other than that I'm ok Sleeved 4/15/17 Height: 5'6" HW: 267 SW: 244 Current: 234 This is the hardest obstacle I've ever tackled next to parenting, but I think I got this.
  24. I don't need to prove you right or wrong. It can be done post op. I am doing it now. If you search the forum you will find another thread where people have posted their success with breastfeeding post op. There is also someone who posted it is possible and provided tips on how to do so. Yes having different perspectives is great but telling people to choose either or isn't valuable IMO. Some people who haven't had surgery are scared, thinking worst case and searching these threads for advice (at which they then take as bible). The last thing they need to hear is someone telling them to choose between having their surgery and breastfeeding their child/children. Anyway, thanks for the "well wishes".

  26. You make a lot of assumptions. Im not being "venomous" towards anyone. I don't think it's helpful to tell people what they can and can not do. I was upset when I thought my supply was gone (like anyone could be) but after speaking to a group of supportive women I got focused and it's coming back. I am actually quite happy with my life and everyone/everything in it. You can take what I said however you'd like. ?[emoji23] Sleeved 4/15/17 Height: 5'6" HW: 267 SW: 244 Current: 234 This is the hardest obstacle I've ever tackled next to parenting, but I think I got this.
  27. Do what makes you happy. Sleeved 4/15/17 Height: 5'6" HW: 267 SW: 244 Current: 236 This is the hardest obstacle I've ever tackled next to parenting, but I think I got this.
  28. I'm not sure why people are posting their personal experiences as if they're the same across the board for everyone. I have a 3, 1 and 4 month old and have been chasing after them since day 3 post op. I am not tired. I have no issues getting my fluids down. I'm not sick. I stopped taking pain meds after day 3. etc...stop discouraging people.

  29. I'm sorry but I am able to get plenty of liquids down. I'm 8 days post op and drinking 70 fl oz a day protein and 30/40 fl oz of water. I have been power pumping, drinking protein shakes with added vitamins/brewers yeast/fenugreek and drinking mothers tea to boost my supply, feeding my baby every 2 hours and it's coming back. Anything is possible if you want it bad enough. I had a weak moment yesterday but after support from my breastfeeding group and following their advice I'm in a better place. Also, my doctor was fully aware that I have a 4 month old and that I am breastfeeding. He told me to bring my pump and pump/dump in the hospital etc... Ladies do whatever makes you happy. You can do whatever you want! Every single day gets easier for me.

  30. Good luck everyone! I was sleeved 4/15. It was tough but you'll do great. Sleeved 4/15/17 Height: 5'6" HW: 267 SW: 244 Current: 236 This is the hardest obstacle I've ever tackled next to parenting, but I think I got this.
