Recommended Posts

I have PCOS and I am overweight my bmi with both my children was about 40 I had to use fertility drugs, have surg, use injectibles--etc. I did finally conceive on clomid after surg, but my pg were difficult and b/c I was overweight I had gestational diabetes and other problems. It was 2 very difficult pg and my babies could have sufferred from it. I dont regret it and they are healthy-- but if you are under 36 I would get some more weight off-- I know how horrible it is to wait! I know how frustrating infertility is-- but your health and your babies will be so much better off if you lose more weight. You want to enjoy your pg as much as possible and you will feel so much better at a lower weight. Give yourself 6 more months- Start in April or May and have a cute little baby to cuddle with and keep warm next winter! Good luck and you are doing awesome on your weight loss btw-- you are such an inspiration to me as I have PCOS too and I am hoping the lap band will help me! Jill

I feel your pain. We went for years being the only ones without a child in our circle of friends, family, and acquaintances. It totally sucked.

4 miscarriages and 7 long years later, along came our beautiful son Dylan. He is such a miracle for us.

I say do what you feel is right in your heart. I wish you all of the luck in the world!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
