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. :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
