  1. Hey all. Just found out I’m 4 weeks pregnant! Yayyyyyy. Had my surgery May 26, down 65 pounds. Although this will be my 5th child, it will be my first child/pregnancy since having VSG. My first pregnancy was the easiest (as in no morning sickness or other issues) and my last three were rough. Any suggestions on prenantal pills that won’t make me nauseous or gag? I have always had problems with the huge pink prenatal pills and usually take the gummy ones. I haven’t had my first dr visit yet (I literally took two tests and each was positive), but I want to get started on the pills immediately. Of course I will requesting more advice from an nutritionist and ob/gyn dr when I see them but would love any suggestions regarding the pills (or any other advice/blessings/prayers) you may have. I had a miscarriage last year of twins so I’m really praying for a smooth pregnancy and happy healthy baby. Thanks
  2. Hello all. I can appreciate all of your comments. I had my surgery 5/26/17 and haven't had a period yet. I'm so worried but not pregnant. Looking for normalcy. Any thoughts?

  14. Hello. I plan on self paying and having surgery in TJ, Mexico. They have emailed me instructions (in booklet form) and have great communication. I have had consultations in the US also and using all info from those doctors to make the best decision regarding my pre and post op diet. Different doctors have different requirements so I'm doing what I feel is best for me. Also, I was able to set my own date for the surgery (especially since I'm self paying).
  15. Hey all. My BMI is 37 and I weigh about 213. According to my insurance, my sleeve surgery won't be covered because I don't have any comorbidies. I am paying out of pocket for the surgery. I need your support. How was your experience with weight lose at this weight?
  16. Hey all. So during the clear liquid phase, is it safe/ok to have liquid vitamins/b-12/iron?
  17. May 26th at Trinity Medical. I'm super excited/nervous/anxious. I told my older sister and it didn't go well. This site and my hubby are my support.
  18. Thanks everyone! By the way, I tried Isopure zero carb alpine punch today. It was aweful! I'm going to try a few different ones until the big day. I will also try to get to all of your suggestions. I just learned that premier protein also makes a clear fruit punch flavored protein drink. When I looked online, I only saw it at Sam's club. Has anyone tried it?
  19. Yes, I do have help with the kiddies so I'm not worried about that. I also have a plan if there are complications. Thank you also for your comments on the protein shakes/powders. I will start trying different types. Thank you!
