How are you doing?? what are you REALLY eating? (confessions)

cheese. Lots of lowfat cheese. And last night I had multiple shots of tequila. I was sleeved on 4/16' date=' lost 40 and then stalled for 3 weeks. After the tequila night I dropped. 6 lbs. Huh.[/quote']

NOTE TO SELF: alchohol stimulates weight loss.

Doubtful. It's probably because of doing couch to 5k and my muscle vs fat is changing. I hope.

Talk to your surgeon's office, and your primary care doctor. They may be able to recommend an OB who has experience with post-bariatric, or even post-sleeve patients. I think the main concerns are getting enough nutrition for the baby and having your compromised abdomen (b/c of surgery) stretching. I've seen a number of folks on here who've had successful pregnancies "too early" after the surgery. Don't worry, just insist on getting good information from your doctors. Ask all the questions that you've got!

Thank you for the advice. Do you think 1000 calories and vitamins could be enough?!

You'll really need to talk to your doctor(s) for specific advice. If you want to go web surfing on the topic, I googled post bariatric pregnancy and found tons of things. The main reason they want you to wait for pregnancy is to make sure you're able to feed the growing baby and not on calorie deficit. One site recommended maintenance caloric intake + 300-400 calories, which could be ~1600 for you! You might also need to change up your calorie balance between protein/carbs/fat because you may need more or less of some for the baby. If it were me, I would definitely call my surgeon's office ASAP and read everything I could online. Good luck, I'll keep an eye on you!

Thank you so much. I will call first thing in the am. I find out tomorrow the results of my blood test telling me how far along I am. I haven't been pregnant in 11 years. This is all so shocking. Your advice has helped a lot

I was sleeved March 7th. I'm down about 74 pounds. I'm eating pretty well, although I had two bites of macaroni and cheese with my catfish and green Beans for dinner tonight. I'm still eating a scrambled egg with veggies and cheese OR Weight Control banana bread oatmeal for Breakfast. Something like tuna fish with splenda sweetened relish, tomatoes, and olive oil mayo for lunch, and usually something grilled for dinner. chicken or steak medium rare. I can't leave leftovers because reheating it the next day makes it too tough, so I either make a little for myself or enough to give the rest to someone else. And I'm working out 4 times a week, weights and cardio.

I feel fantastic, everything's working right, and I couldn't be happier!

That's great news. I need to get back to more grilled. How many calories would you say you eat daily
