Hey everybody! It's been a long, long time since I have posted anything, but I wanted to just put an update out there. I was sleeved Dec. 20, 2011, and have lost 54 pounds so far. The doc gave me the green light for getting pregnant a couple weeks ago, and I am doing my first cycle of Clomid. I am so excited! We go to count eggs in 2 days! I have been wanting this for so long now, and I can't believe it's finally happening. DH and I have been wanting a child for over 4 years now. We didn't find out that I had an issue until 2 years ago, and I was diagnosed with PCOS. I am so thrilled to finally be at this point, and hope so much that we can get pregnant right away!

Aw! That's awesome @rodswife! I would so love to have a house full of children someday too! Wednesday is the big day to see how the eggs are looking and I'm praying HARD. I wouldn't say no to twins. We've been waiting and wanting so long that a nice multiple birth would feel like making up for lost time, lol.

It will happen girl. Just keep the faith. My kids are 21, 15, 13, 11, 2 and 1. My younger two are 19 months apart and very much like twins. It gets exhausting but I wouldnt trade it for anything in the world. They keep me young. Ill be praying for you.

They found two eggs! I go back Sat. For the shot to make me ovulate. He warned me that sometimes eggs can just magically disappear though, so we are praying that they are both fully mature and ready to go!

Thanks rodswife! I am getting excited- tomorrow morning I will hopefully get the shot! We'll see what things look like. I can't believe I will still have to wait two or three more weeks to know if it worked...

Waiting is the hardest part. A bit of advice a fertility doc told my husband I, start having sex now every other day so there is always a fresh Batch of sperm near the cervix so when the egg releases there is always speem there for it to attach to. Starting now instead of waiting til you ovulate increases your chances because you never know when you will ovulate. Also I used to take 30ml of mucus expectorant where the only active ingredient was guaffenisen daily. It helps thin out your cervical mucus making it more sperm friendly. Told to me by a fertility doc as well. It makes the cervical mucus less hostile so sperm can last longer. And lastly, when you do have sex, when you are done, lay there with your hips propped up for 20min before you even get up to clean up, pee whtever. It helps guide the sperm toward your cervix. Good luck girl. Sprinkling baby dust your way. I know how you feel. keep the faith.

Went back to the dr. this morning. The two eggs that they found Wednesday were missing or had shrunk back down or something, but they found a new one on my other ovary. And, it's a nice, big, happy one too! He gave me the shot to make me ovulate, so now we just wait and see what happens!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
