Hi y'all!

I had the VSG on 4/5/17 and it's been the best decision of my life. I feel like myself again. I'm still heavier than I'd like to be but I'm healthier without a doubt.

My husband and I are planning to TTC but this past month we started not preventing and I'm now having some odd experiences. Wanted your thoughts or to see if anyone else has experienced this:

The first day of my last period was 2/11. Predicted ovulation date was 2/26 though based on signs, I think it was a few days later. Husband and I "didn't prevent" on 3/2. For the past week, I've had dark brown discharge and then today I had what looked like thicker mucus with some darker blood in it when I wiped. My lower back has also been hurting. Most noticeably, though, is that I ate food yesterday for lunch and within 3 minutes, I was in the bathroom rejecting it. I haven't done that since I first started solid foods with my surgery last year. I didn't eat too much...maybe too fast? Today, I just ate a little Soup and I feel so full and queasy. My heartburn has been very bad too.

My question is, did you all have symptoms like that full feeling we all got right after surgery that looking back were pregnancy signs?

      I'm trying to give these people all my labs and it's so hard! I had to do number 2 in a bag and send it in for the lab to test it. CHILE! Why did I poop in the container and when I went to drop it off, that part of the hospital was closed?!  Sigh. AWKWARD. I'll drop it off today after work tho. Feeling great!

      Getting a little nervous about post surgery life adaptation. I really want to succeed, but habits are so hard to break.

      Good news and Meh news...
      Meh: so I think I experienced/am experiencing my first stall-ish since surgery and now I get how frustrating it can be!  So annoying to wake up every morning to watch the scale report a gain or loss of the same 1.5 pounds for over 2 weeks.  *sigh*.  Some say put the scale away, but I log my weight every morning to get a daily moving average of my weight.  So long as this moving average is not heading upwards (which it isn’t and hasn’t since post-op) then I am good with my curent “minimalist” weekly weight loss rate, however small I think it is 🙄.
      However.
      The Good news:
      To allow for some self back patting, and to remind myself of the bigger picture, I set a bunch of interim goals/milestones... a few of which are 10lbs increment weight loss goals:
      So this morning, after hovering within 1.5 pounds of an interim goal for over 2 weeks, I weighed in at 164.8, and officially lost 70 lbs!  In 4 months.  That is 30% of my starting body weight.  Or the equivalent of my 10 year old neice. How crazy is that.
      Next Goal: weigh in at 162lbs to be merely overweight (and not obese!)

      I am in the Pre-Op stage.  I have 4 more nutrition classes to go to.  I've had my endoscopy with favorable results although I was told I had an abnormal z-line.  Everything looks good so far.  Had my team appointment with the psychologist and have my pulmonologist  this week.  I chose the sleeve
