Twins and still losing wieght!! Triple Bonus!! :D

I know lol It makes me a little nervous at times because I'm not sure if they're getting enough of what they need to grow. I am eating and snacking every few hours if I wait like before and only have three meals a day I get nauseous lol

Congrats! Lots of Protein will help them, and plenty of good carbs. If you aren't the type to panic or scare easily, Dr. Barbara Luke's book about multiples is a good read. But if you'll feel guilt or worry about not eating enough don't read the book because I've heard some women say it scared them.

I have boy/girl twins that are five and while there have been hurdles here and there it's been a wonderful, awesome, fun experience. You know your body best, so pay attention to what you need (food, rest, whatever) and you'll do just fine!

Okay, so a few years ago I posted my before/after photos and got a ton of ladies talking about how they also had twins. Now, as far as twins conceived post sleeve? I really couldn't say but not one case comes to mind.

So there are several of us who have twins of varying ages here on the boards but I'm pretty sure Amytequilahouse is the first one I've seen to conceive them post op.

And oh yeah, they'll keep you busy for a while. I firmly believe in the flip-flop theory my other mom friends and I share. Either you have difficult babies or toddlers, but most folks are lucky enough that they don't wind up with both. My twins? Easiest babies ever. Seriously - the single I have right now is more demanding and challenging than the two of them were.

But OH the toddler years...I could tell some stories about the mischief, mayhem and destruction my duo caused in the three minutes it took me to use the restroom, or the five minutes I took to go switch laundry downstairs. Oh yeah...they were something else! I lost a bunch of weight chasing them, though. :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
