I have good and (possibly) bad news. Bad news first - weight loss and hormone changes can actually increase your chance becoming pregnant. My gyno warned me of this because I'm on the pill and told me that I should use backup because with the weight loss and especially the hormonal changes, it was a higher possibility of becoming prego. Good news...the weight loss and hormonal changes can throw off your cycle. Mine was a month late and then came 2 weeks early for the next one. It came hard and heavy too but I was expecting it because of the surgery. So hopefully it's the good news, I've read about a lot of people being thrown off from the surgery and weight loss.

Wow. So I was 11 months out when I found out. 10 lbs from my goal of 136. Being sleeved and pregnant has been a challenge. My husband wanted another baby but I was skeptical. Since finding out I am pregnant I have fallen in love. I so happy and hope we are having another boy! I am 10 weeks now. Morning sickness has plagued me as always. Hoping to get back to the gym soon.

The problem with goal weights is that your idea of where you want to be and your body's idea of where it wants to be can be different. I very intentionally never set a goal weight and my surgical team never suggested one. I decided that I would follow my plan for however long it took until my body told me it was where it wanted to be. And that's exactly what happened. I lost 130 lbs in just under 14 months and then it just stopped. My body was where it wanted to be. Today, a year and a half later, I'm within three pounds of that point. I never experienced any regain, often referred to as "bounce back". Sounds to me like your body is where it wants to be. Listen to it, love it and live it!

You can try applesauce. I can't remember if I was cleared at four or six weeks for fruit (not blended), but once I was I NEVER looked back! I LOVE fruits and veggies now (still struggle with cooked and raw carrots). Definitely fruits and veggies are my go to. Only difference is now I take the skin off apples. So much easier to digest. Once you are given the ok you will love it! Good luck with it journey.

July Sleevers, August Sleevers, September Sleevers etc.
mentalistfan posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Here's my story...I wanted lap-band in 2010 and didn't even see a surgeon or go to a seminar because I basically "chicken out". I started the sleeve journey in March, thinking I had a six month supervised diet, then found out my insurance didn't require it. So, I thought I would be having surgery in July, then I had a delay, then I thought it would be August because my surgeon is super busy. Then, I got approved and was for sure thinking I could get it in September. Finally, today I talked to the insurance coordinator/scheduler, she told me it would probably be October because the surgeon is so busy, I was soooo disappointed...then she asked me what my BMI is, I told her, she said that on Tuesdays the surgeon does fairly easy cases early in the morning, only one surgery a day on Tuesdays and she would let me know next week if I will be sleeved on August 5 or 12. I was sooo excited at that news. But I have cried three times after finding out! I know I won't "chicken out" this time but wow, reality sets in, someone cheer me up! I guess I'm back into the August Sleevers posts again! LOL- 1 reply

Every time I feel like I'm getting somewhere I somehow am not, I get a call from my surgeons office last week saying his notes are not detailed enough for my insurance. I thought everything was cool because it had been submitted two weeks ago, been going at this process since February of this year. I had to wait till today as I'm writing this waiting in the waiting room because of course my doctor is only in the office twice a week. I woke up Sunday morning and just cried saying "I don't wanna be like this anymore" my husband comforted me and we prayed together. I still feel like this process is so long I'm starting to lose patience and hope like am I gonna finally get that call saying I'm approved and my surgery date. Need some encouragement!

I am 3 weeks postop and following my doctors order on what I can and can not have but I am always afraid im eating to much like I had a 3inch cucumber with 2 thin slices of deli meat and I ate all of it, but I didn't have any pain in my tummy like I over did it . I guess my question is will you hurt if you over eat. I just don't want to stretch the pouch or do anything wrong . .. Thank you for all your input

Hi, I need some advice. I have gotten through most of the process and will possibly have a definite surgery date within the next 1-2 weeks. My close co-workers know that I am having the surgery. The place doing my surgery is trying to work around the week of vacation I have already requested off and they are holding a date right now for me for the week before my vacation. My dilemma is how to tell my boss. I know I have no obligation to tell them what I am having done, but I'm afraid if I don't tell her she will hear it from one of my coworkers what I am having done. I'm just really nervous. I will have been at my job exactly a year the day I'm possibly scheduled for surgery. Can anyone tell me what u have told your bosses? Thanks!

Quit The Darn Whining
TurnThePage replied to bearman99's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
THREE CHEERS FOR YOU!!!! Finally, somebody gets it!!!! It's tiresome to see people people worrying about every single last possible problem. It's good to educate oneself in case problems arise, but obsessing over maybes is such a waste of time and energy. This is a long process, so it's really helpful to take it one step at a time, one day at a time. Wishing you all the best. May Santa redistribute your excess pounds to needy skinnies around the world! LOL -

Yes I am right here with you sister!!!!! I find it challenging to stay on track as well! I do well throughout the work week as I bring my lunch and Snacks for the day. I find that I don't really eat after I leave so my last meal is usually by 5pm with maybe a light snack if needed around 8 or 9 pm. I'm working around a concept of fasting approx 4-6 hours before bedtime. Anyways on the weekends-- I find that since I don't plan my eating on the weekends I don't eat like I should. Or I will have gone the whole day and finally notice around 6 well Jesus I haven't eaten all day! I take for granted that I'm around the house and that food is available buuuuuut I'm usually out and about running around and fast food for me is a NO NO NO NO NO!!!! Although Cookies are not my vice but occasionally on date night weekends I may have a cocktail or glass of wine that I used to feel very guilty about but no longer. I made a choice. I own that choice and I learn to understand how those choices may affect me. If I choose to have an occasional cocktail or glass of wine once or twice a month so be it. None of us are perfect. But if you are giving your meal plan serious effort 90% of the time its ok to have a occasional treat in moderation. Now I wouldn't have a drink every weekend-- I would have to make some changes there if that were happening. So if you find yourself veering off plan every weekend then it may be time to consider developing a strategy right now to help you stay on track. So just like you set yourself up for work during the week set yourself up for home on the weekends. I've started buying mini fruit and veggie trays and even prepared chicken and tuna salads from those swanky market delis to get me through the weekend days at least. Nights are usually a little less planned and it all depends on what we do. Its easier to make better choices at dinner when you've done well throughout the day.

Do you have pain meds? Or even Tylenol? No sense in being a hero and fighting through the pain, that's what the meds are for I definitely had one spot on my left side (actually a little below an incision) that has been giving me trouble. I'm just over three weeks out, and the last two days have been the first days when I've been almost completely pain free. Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon! ~*~ Find me on YouTube: Trisha's Sleeve Story ~*~

Pre Surgery Liquid Diet Failing - Ideas, Help?
kymie9899 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery is Monday Jan 9th and I'm on a liquid diet last week and this. Problem is I haven't lost any weight yet. It's entirely my fault, going through the holidays my "sensible meal" was larger than it should be. It wasnt that I was eating sweets, just to big of portions of what I did eat. So now of course I'm freaked out about not being able to have surgery. Does anyone have any recommendations for the time between now and Monday? The two shakes a day are covered, no brainer, but the sensible meals any ideas? Or should I honestly at this point just switch to 3 shakes a day since there is ZERO time between now and Monday. Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
