Congrats to all you ladies, and hoping the best for those of us still trying. I am wondering for those who have been able to conceive what does your Vitamin regiment look like? Which do you take. Any Protein shakes also?? Thx for sharing!

I'm almost 2 years post op, and have been trying to conceive since May. I've had 3 children already and didn't have any trouble conceiveing at all before surgery. I was nursing still when I had the surgery and continued after. I stopped nursing my 3rd when she was about 18 months that was in April and we started trying right after that. My period is very regular but I did have a miscarriage back in October at 8 weeks, it was a surprise and my first. As I said I'd never had issues before and since then my cycle has been about 24 days instead of 28. I turned 29 in October and i know I'm getting "older" so baby making will get a bit more difficult but I don't think I'm ready to try fertility drugs yet. I'll just keep workig on my wieghtloss and hope that it happens while I'm taking care of my body. Hoping the best for all of us

I moved to Africa! Abuja, Nigeria to be exact and realized that I love traveling but my heart belongs to Michigan I had a miscarriage for the first time after having had 6 successful pregnancies. I realized how blessed I have been and how ungrateful I'd been for being able to get pregnant so easily and have such healthy children with no problems. It was a very rough and thought provoking exeperience. Alhamdulillah(Thanking God) I'm going into the New Year with a bit more experience and (I'd like to believe wisdom) and going home with a bit more appreciation for "The land of the free, home of the brave"

I'm almost 2 years post op and haven't lost much weight in the past year because I have pretty much been doing what I want. In the past month I've really started to change my ways and have already started to see loss of inches and pounds. People are right, go back to Protein first, low carb low to no sugar, that seems to be the "secret" to VSG weight loss, and weight loss period. That and Water. I thank God I love exercise or I'd probably have been gaining instead of stalled.

I'm almost 2 years post op and had been drinking a cup a day since about 2 weeks out of surgery. Ive only stopped to see if it will help me to kick start my weight loss again. I've never had any issues with drinking coffee and at this far out I've even had a couple of cups a day. I see hear that it's thought to be an appetite stimulant but for me it was a supressent. It helped me during those times when I felt nauseated for no apparent reason (which has happened since my surgery) or when I had the urge to snack on sweets. But I think what someone else said is true. The surgeon and NUT guidelines are just that, you've got to listen to and watch your body. That's the only way you'll know if it's good for you.

Walaikum'Asalaam! I'm almost 2 years out, Al-humdulillah. If you're wondering about fasting with the sleeve, it's the same as fasting without it just that once you break the fast you will definitely be eating sunnah in shaa Allah due to the small amount.

I've just found out I'm pregnant and I'm 18 months post op. We've been trying for about 3 months and this will be our fourth ( 1 boy and 2 girls). I think what felt different for me was that I simply have little to no appetite for anything except grilled meats and fish.

I was that way for about 9 months! I am 18 months post op and hadn't a clue as to why I could hardly stay awake. I worked out, I ate generally healthy and I drank about a cup of very strong coffee every morning yet by 3pm I always felt sleepy and sometimes fell asleep. Mind you, I am 29 years old and in decent shape. Come to find out I was severely anemic. Never thought of Iorn pills because I felt okay. But after talking to my doc about dizziness and tiredness my numbers came back very bad. Now after about 2 weeks of taking iron suppliments I feel much better. Still not where I want to be but I don't sleep during the day anymore and I don't feel dizziness all of a sudden or upon standing. So it could be that...but if you've had your blood work done you should definitely talk to your doc about it because it actually is a significant sign of something being up this far out.

If I may, I'd also like to add to this question.. Has anyone had difficulty getting pregnant after surgery? I've already got 3 and have been pregnant 5 times in my life. Hence, before surgery I've never had a problem with getting pregnant. Now about a year and a half out and been trying for about 4 months and still havent gotten pregnant. Thus, I was wondering if anyone else had this issue, or know of anyone who had some difficulty getting pregnant after surgery? Also for those who have gotten pregnant what did your suppliment regimen look like before and during pregnancy? Did you/do you workout regularly?

That was my date last year! Hoping all the best for you

I've been going having the exact same symptoms. My insurance changed and my doctor simply won't see me because of it, so I rely heavily on what I read here and whatever I can find in articles and videos on the web. I figured it is as b12 deficiency because I ran out about 5 weeks ago and have been having the symptoms for about 3. It shipped today and hopefully it will be here within the week. I've also started taking perinatal...I just have a feeling...but it's definitely something going on

Wow, that's all very interesting!! I really should read up more on the effects of extreme weight loss and hormones.

Hmm...that actually makes a lot of sense, I hadn't even thought of that. As I said I was like clock work before surgery and now I am still like clock work just 60 full days apart. I'd really like to go back to normal because I'd like to have a couple more in all honesty.

I am having some strange symptoms and have scheduled an appointment with.my surgeon and NUT but until then I'd like to know what everyone else takes on a daily basis and has your needs changed for those of you a year or more out? Any info is highly appreciated

So I've heard all about those who were unable to get pregnant before surgery and who's cycle was completely off pre surgery but what about those who've had the opposite occur. I was like clock work pre surgery and have 3 children already. However, post op I've been having a 60 day cycle and was readingthat with such a long cycle I am likely not even ovulating. Anyone else experience this? Also for those who have gotten pregnant post-op what's your supplement and workout regiment like? Thx for the input
