So after constant nausea, pure exhaustion again, and smelling this awful smell in my house that noone else can smell I decided to take a test to be safe... I never, ever, in a million years expected a positive test. We've used protection and I had a doctor's appointment on Monday to get on the pill or have an IUD placed again.

Tomorrow is our 9th wedding anniversary so I will be finding a way to break the news to hubby then... but I don't want him telling a lot of people because I'm scared. I'm terrified of what my surgeon will say... terrified of what our families will think.. and terrified at ending up with a loss. I figure I am about 6.5 weeks pregnant at the time.

Advice, suggestions, tips, etc? Please not negative comments... like I said, we were preventing, but it happened anyhow.

I'm so excited for all of us! What supplements are YAll on? I don't see my dr til november 9, but I'm just on regular gel pnv and some extra folic acid per my ob orders. I'm still losing weight. She said when she sees me she will get me to a mfm and nutritionist. She said to just try and graze healthy food. That I shouldn't worry about the weight loss cause it is to be expected and the baby will take what it needs from me.

I'm still losing as well. A pound or so a week but I'm under goal so I wanna see that stopping here shortly. I feel like I eat all day... But I'm making healthy choices and keeping portions small. I don't feel any give in restriction yet.

I'm on a chewable prenatal, D and a low dose iron supplement. I'm struggling with very low blood pressure and low blood sugars as well. Hence my eating often.

I'm not nearly as nauseated as I was with my daughter, so that's a blessed relief! So far I'm still able to run my 5k a couple times a week and walk/toning exercise on off days.

I'm nearly 8wks and will be telling people soon! Can't wait!

We had a d&c 1.5 weeks after this post. We had 2 ultrasounds and were diagnosed with a blighted ovum or false pregnancy. The heartbreak was tremendous and it's thrown my body out of whack. I've struggled with getting back on track with my eating and weight loss too. Praying we get to try again for a healthy pregnancy soon!!

???? Im so sorry for your lost my prayers for you and your husband.

My heart broke reading this post. I'm so incredibly sorry you had to experience this. I can imagine it's been a roller coaster of emotions. Prayers for you and your family.

I'm so so sorry about your loss. My prayers are with you. Don't lose hope though, you are going to get healthier and healthier as you go along. Take good care of yourself.

Congrats to all the prego ladies in here. I got pregnant 8 months post op with my first after 7 years of trying. I am currently 38 wks and extremely anxious to see my baby girl. For those of you ttc, do not obsess or stress yourself out. I literally made up my mind to adopt when I found out I was pregnant. So this was a welcome surprise. Belly rubs to all the expectant mothers and best of luck to those ttc.

So sorry for your loss

So sorry to hear of your loss.

So sorry for your loss! Prayers for healing!

I read this thread daily because it gives me hope Ladies! My husband and I have been TTC for 6 years. We even did some fertility treatments last year before I had VSG. It was the main reason for me deciding to have the surgery. We have just got the clearance to start trying since I am a year out (even though we stopped using protection 2 months ago) and are praying daily for our miracle. My obgyn prefers to see me lose more before I get pregnant but at a year out, I have lost 126lbs and feel great. I would like to lose another 50ish pounds but don't mind taking my time on that if it meant I was gaining due to being pregnant. So I just wanted to say thanks for giving me hope! We so badly want to have children! Congrats to all you ladies and again, condolences so those who have suffered a loss.

Congrats! I just found out Monday that I am pregnant, surgery date was 8/27. Nervous as all get out have done some emotional eating but getting myself back together. Obgyn is aware of surgery said he doesn't foresee any issues. Just emailed my nut to see what she suggest.

Sorry for your loss

congrats to all the future mommies on this post i am hoping to have a baby as well which is my main motivation for this surgery just hoping not so soon after the surgery

I'm so glad to read these posts! I've taken 3 positive tests... Just 5 months post op! Glad to hear everyone is doing well. My first doctors appointment is tomorrow????. It's been 30 years with no luck so I'm praying my 80lb weight loss will do the trick... And my body can keep this baby healthy.

Congratulations! My appointment isn't until November 9. I think after I see heartbeat everything will seem more real.

I'm a fertility patient trying to get pregnant again and I'm only 3 months after surgery. As long as you're eating balanced meals, exercising safely and staying in contact with your Doctor the sleeve shouldn't pose too many issues because the sleeve does not cause malabsorption. Work with a nutritionist for a while if you need to.
