    @MelTed
    haha don’t worry it wasn’t TMI
    i have type two diabetes so it’s been difficult. My Doc isn’t going to want to give me Clomid until the 18 months is up. We’ve done everything but my weight was aslways a factor. I take my metfomin religiously!!
    Honeslty im hoping that I lose enough weight with this sleeve to kick PCOS in the booty and get pregnant all on my own.
    They surgery is great I’ve been having great numbers with my glucos testing!
    You will do great like I said ! Just afterward get plenty of rest because once you get up and go you don’t stop !!

    Congrats 🎉
    I hate to admit this but my main goal for weight loss surgery was to get pregnant. I know that I’m suppose to wait at least 18months but if it happens before I would be on top of the moon. My husband and I have been trying for about 10 years now and nothing is working! I’m hoping this weight loss surgery gets me to where I need to be and I can start sharing my stories here too.
    Good luck with the new baby Hunny !!!

    I would start trying to get your Protein in through food now. I do one shake a day still, but honestly, I don't need to. I can get most of my protein from meals. Even if it's just softer foods like yogurt, cottage cheese, ect. The shakes will get old and you want a good foundation set to eat your protein.

    Good early foods for Protein and extra nutrition:
    Greek yogurt
    sugar free oatmeal with Protein Powder stirred in
    Refried Beans with lowfat cheese
    Cottage cheese
    Split pea soup...high in protein and fiber...good Fiber for building good gut bugs.
    Soft tuna

    Hey Melissa !
    I also have PCOS and that was the driving force for my surgery. My husband and I want a family and this surgery was literally our last hope. I wish you luck and a speedy recovery. Please keep in touch with me , I would like to see how your weight loss is going after surgery, if the PCOS affects it!! The surgery is awesome and a life changer! You will do great 👍

    Hello All,
    I am a little over 5 weeks out and 30 lbs. down. I am 12 lbs. away from Onederland which I am very excited about. Some of my clothes are starting to fit big and most of my clothes are just starting to fit comfortably. This surgery has been a big confidence booster. I am feeling a bit tired but I attribute the fatigue to my lack of Protein. I'm in my soft foods stage now so I'm going to try Protein Bars because I'm tired of Protein Shakes. Mentally, cravings and hunger are getting easier. I'm really happy for everyone, this was the best decision we could've made for ourselves.

    Update: Third trimester!!! So far so good!!! Baby is healthy! Mom is healthy!!!

    Due to my being a Bariatric patient the glucose testing has been altered. Testing glucose levels 4 times a day, first fasting and 2 hours after every meal for 7 Days. So far so good. Ready to ride this last stretch out with minimal weight gain and a happy and healthy mom and new baby girl💜💕💞🙏🏽 Total wt gain thus far=10-14lbs. 😔

    I agree with @Matt Z my husband was 100000% supportive before , during and after surgery, together we now set little weight loss goals for ourselves , we work out together and eat healthier. With regards to the Protein Shakes ; I actually share with him ( I order large quantities of the premier online ) after a good workout everyone needs Protein. Coming from a woman I understand your frustration , your boyfriend is acting quite childish and maybe it is because he’s scared. Sit down talk to him and tell him you need his positivity in your corner right now ! Good luck honey this surgery was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and I would recommend anyone who needs it to get it.
    p.S.
    when I was on a full liquid diet for my pre op and the 2 weeks post op I was losing about 10lbs every 4-5 Days
    talk to your doctor about doing a supervised diet as such and maybe those extra 10lbs will come off

    Oh man during the PMS period is hard !! I crave the weirdest things and I am constantly hungry. The surgery hast changed this one bit, I can’t eat as much so one or two bites I’m full but the cravings don’t go away and the hunger comes back. During the regular weeks of the month I’m totally fine , as I’m healing I find that I have to remind myself to eat and the hunger hormone is almost non existent🤷🏽‍♀️

    I had my sleeve done and 95% of my family doesn’t know I had it done , but my mom dad brother and husband. It’s your decision I wish I did it earlier (by the way I’ll be 28 this year) I have had the option since my early to mid twenties. It’s a great tool and when you see the weight coming off it makes you want to work harder; again it’s your decision but if I had to do it again I would!!

    @holly7744
    congrats on making it this far. The two week diet for me was a mixed bag of everything. Some days were great and other days your just pulling your hair out wanting to eat something. It makes it harder that I’m the cook of the family and I prepare all the meals!! It’s a total test , but if you can get through these two weeks it will make the surgery so much easier and smoother! I had to work extra hard because I had fatty liver and my DR required me to loose weight before surgery. Good Luck !! Just look past the two weeks at the goal.
