    3 months out & baby crazy!

    I have a support system now that when the urge gets really bad I text them and they talk me down. I would like to loose another 40lbs before having a child but I'd be happy with 15-20. My husband and I are going to start trying in May.

    3 months out & baby crazy!

    I actually had the surgery so we could have children. I didn't have PCOS but since I was so overweight I lost a baby. So I was advised to lose weight and surgery was suggested to me by my Endo and gyno. I did not have any other health issues presurgery other than being 100lbs over weight. That's part of the reason why I am so goo goo I suppose.

    Yes I can eat a decent amount. I don't eat a lot at one time but I can eat multiple times throughout the day. I was told if I hit goal weight I could try at 6 months. I guess it would be good to lose more lol.
  6. I have lost 60lbs and am 3 months out. I look and feel great but have become so baby crazy!! I know docs say to wait but all my tests come back great, I can eat almost anything (I took a few bites of pizza because I was curious), and I'm feeling great! Idk what's your thoughts/opinions? Obviously most of you will say wait but I'd like to know the pros and cons for those of you who have gotten prego before 12 months.

    A little discouraged

    YES Mocha-NJ!! Omg, getting protein in has been HELL. I just ate some refried beans with hot sauce. I started a little early on purée but I seriously could NOT eat anymore soup or yogurt. I was on a 2 week liquid diet before my surgery.
  8. I'm not complaining about stalling because I would actually rather not lose super quickly so I don't have the issues with excess skin and such. However, I have hit a stall and I am only 10 days post op... Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this? I am getting discouraged because I still get hungry and feel like I can eat more than I should. Please help!!

    Vitamins

    There are vitamins called bariatric choice at a store call Sprouts (I'm not sure where you live). They are specifically made for people that have bariatric surgery. It's a chewable multivitamin, and it doesn't taste half bad. They are also available online through Walgreens.

    This may be TMI but...

    I am only 4 days post op. I haven't actually drank any protein shakes yet. I know I need to. I will definitely be adding some benefiber though if it helps!! My bum doesn't hurt, but I've been running to the restroom quite frequently thinking I may have had an "accident." Urgh so embarrassing!!

    This may be TMI but...

    Yah it is. I haven't actually taken any MOM yet that's why I'm worried. I hear more people have issues with constipation so I just was hoping I'm not doing anything wrong :-(
  13. I have really bad diarrhea :-( I tried calling my NUT, just waiting for a call back. Is anyone else experiencing this? I do NOT want to take the milk of magnesia since waste is still coming out, but I take a multivitamin with fiber in it. Can I add some to a protein shake?
