9Months Post-Op and Pregnant!



Recommended Posts

I just turned 9 months post-op and have lost a total of 112lbs...love it. :) My husband and I always wanted a family (im 22 hes 25) but we knew we would have problem. we have not been protecting ourselves before surgery and in 5 years nothing happened. I had the surgery Oct 9th 2013. starting getting a period every month since December but still ranges from 32-41 days. I want to be a mom so bad...ive had scares since surgery but I was crampy and all that but then starting yesterday I was beginning nausea and I still get mild cramps. I went to work was sent home due to me not feeling good. but told me to take a test(which I thought I wasn't and there's no way) so I went grabbed a test to just shush everyone up lol. So I got home took the 1st test and immediately and it came back a clear POSITIVE under 45 secs! I was shocked took the second one and again POSITIVE!!!! I go this morning for a blood test..i couldn't be happier. Im scared that the blood test is going to come back wrong...but they say u cant really get FALSE POSITIVES, especially on 2 tests! and being how clear it was!!! So is it safe to say IM PREGNANT?!?!?!?!?!? :)

Your story makes me so excited! My husband and I have tried for years unsuccessfully too and this was the reason I had surgery. I'm a month behind you and your post gives me so much hope! My periods have been consistent the past 4 months and before surgery, they were either non-existent or went on forever and ever. Looking forward to following your story so make sure to keep us updated. :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
