I do wish I had waited sometimes. Only because I haven't lost anymore weight since I became pregnant. I'm the same weight. Kinda discouraging but at least I haven't gained.

Mine was also a surprise, as previously mentioned. I still wanted to lose anywhere between 7 and 15 lbs more. I'm just shy of 16 weeks pregnant and up almost 4 lbs. I am going to really start focusing on my meals again tho. I was getting too relaxed with snacking on unhealthy choices.

21 weeks pregnant and up 10 lbs. Sounds like this is pretty average but I was hoping I'd gain less than the average, obviously just want what is best for baby though.

I too have PCOS, which I went through 2 years of multiple doctors and tests to confirm it. Now two years after my diagnosis, my husband and I have had no luck getting pregnant. In January 2016, I inquired about VSG and sat on it until July 2016 as I tried to continue losing weight on my own. As many of you with PCOS know, it is beyond difficult to lose or manage your weight with PCOS. So, I decided in July that this was the path I was going to have to take in order to achieve the healthy body and mind I've been wanting back for the last 5 years. Another huge motivation is also being able to have a baby.

Yesterday, I got my surgery date of 1/9/17. I am really excited to finally see this coming to reality, but I am so nervous for the surgery itself. I just keep trying to think of the ultimate goal of healthy body, healthy mind, and healthy baby!

I look forward to keeping up on these forums and hearing from other people in similar places in their journey!

I am 13mo out and talk to my surgeon at my year out and he told me I could try getting pregnant now if I want. But would really like to loss 15 to 20 more lb. but it's coming off very slow now. I don't want to put more then 20lb on being pregnant. Glad to here most of ya only put on 15lb.

We also tried for 5 years and I had previously been diagnosed with PCOS. Had surgery and got pregnant 5 months out. I think my pregnancy would have been complicated had I NOT had the surgery. Everything could not have gone better for me. I boosted my health Snacks and that was it. I gave birth naturally to a beautiful baby girl. Gained 17lbs throughout pregnancy and was back to pre pregnancy weight 2 days after. Went right back to losing with breastfeeding. My baby girl is currently 10 months old and we are both happy and healthy. I know my situation was not the ideal or recommended timing but nothing could have gone better for us and we hope you have the same experience! Wouldn't change a thing! Best of luck to you and congrats! Happiness all around!

      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!!
