I suffer from this issue too! I cannot give up coffee!!! I cannot function without it. I did quit for 2 weeks but then I started again Best of luck on your Journey!

Cara, I am doing this with Kaiser and yes, they told me the same thing. I guess I just wanted to hear about someone who successfully had a baby sooner! Thanks for the info.

I am pre op and I have PCOS. I should have my surgery in 6 weeks. Jerseyjandj how long after your sleeve did you get pregnant? I really need to know! I am 35 and I do not want to have babies after 40. Tynurse, thanks for asking this question, I had completely forgotten about PCOS!!

Hello Everyone, I have a question, please let me know! I am post op and I am just waiting for blood work to through so I can set my surgery date. I started this journey 5 months ago. The first thing that shocked me was that I had to give up coffee! I have a true addiction to coffee, I cannot stop drinking it! I gave it up for 2 weeks, but then I started again. No matter how many times I quit I start up again. I have often wondered if drug addicts go through this. Can you please tell me if you are drinking coffee with caffeine in it? and how is it going? did you really quit? does it upset you stomach? Someone please tell me. Thanks!

wishing the best for you in my prayers!

good luck! you are almost there!

that's great! I just met my goal weight and I am waiting to meet with my case manager to set my surgery date. Not going to lie, I am terrified! I have never had surgery and I have my fears! I admire your bravery! keep up the good work! Veronica

Hello everyone! My name is Veronica and I am getting VSG sometime in the future. I am really happy I found this forum because it is helping me get motivated. You see, all I have to do is lose 5 pounds so I can go to the next step of setting my surgery appointment. The problem is that I have not been able to lose it because I do not follow a diet. In fact, I have not made any significant changes. It is my belief that I do this because I am truly scared to get this operation. My actions are due to my distorted thinking. My fears are that I will no longer enjoy my mothers food. Thanks to all of you who share your stories. I am inspired. I hope to lose these 5 pounds in the next week so I can set my appointment. Good luck on you Journeys, you are all doing amazing. Veronica

Thanks smiley! I have to adopt that attitude!
