Sounds like your gall bladder. Do you still have it? And on a scale of 1-10 how bad is the pain? 10 being the worst pain ever.

Finally Pregnant & 6 mo post
ebthompson2010 replied to christhee87's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I am 8 mos post op and almost 8 mos pregnant. I got pregnant 2 Wks after surgery by accident. I had a para guard IUD and still ended up pregnant. My first trimester was hard. I was very sick all day. But at about 6 mos that got better. I have lost over 115 lbs since my surgery Aug 2. And my OB and surgeon say that's fine. My baby is 100% healthy and she's a very active girl Congrats! This is my third! Children are so amazing and they're what keeps me going everyday. -
Anyone lose the weight post baby
ebthompson2010 replied to cyncitygirl's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I am 8 mos post op and almost 8 mos pregnant. I got pregnant 2 Wks after surgery. And NOT on purpose. I had a para guard IUD in and still became pregnant. I have lost over 115 lbs and my baby is alive and thriving. I have not gained a lb yet. But now I have stayed the same weight for about a month. I still get discouraged because I don't see the scale going down. But I understand that I'm pregnant and should be thankful that I haven't gained anything. I still have about 80 lbs id like to lose post baby. So I'm hoping that can be accomplished. I eat about 700-800 cals a day and both my surgeon and OB are completely fine with that. I still feel restriction. -
Every time I eat I feel like my food doesn't digest but I feel and hear my sleeve doing something. It's a yucky nauseous feeling for a good hour after eating. I'm 8 mos post. Is this normal?

Life after Gallbladder removal
ebthompson2010 replied to AnneG's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have to get mine out in July and right now I'm 8 mos post op almost. Every time I eat right now I feel icky and like my food won't digest. Is this because of my gall bladder and will it hopefully get better after removal? I'm tired of dreading having to eat -
I cant help but feel disappointed :(
ebthompson2010 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I am 8 mos post op ALMOST. I am 7 mos pregnant. And I understand that this is expected but I can't help but feel sad that I've only lost 2 lbs since the beginning of Feb and before people say WELL YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN PREGNANT!!! Let me just make sure you are aware that I had the para guard IUD for birth control and still ended up pregnant. So I am very thankful that my baby is still here with us today at 7 mos. I am a very lucky woman and am very very thankful. -

ebthompson2010 replied to simonetwentynine's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes I will . Yes I get really tired of being asked "Oh my God! Is the baby going to be okay?" Like I don't see my Dr regularly. People definitely freak out lol. But all is well I assure ???? -
Was able to eat 2 hard shell tacos today... Is that considered a lot?

ebthompson2010 replied to simonetwentynine's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm doing pretty good the first 5 mons were hard. I was on zofran everyday for extreme nausea. A mixture of nausea from surgery AND pregnancy altogether. But now I am doing great. I have lost a total of 115 lbs. I had surgery Aug 2. And found out I was 6 Wks pregnant at the end of Oct sometime. Baby is very healthy. The healthiest out of all 3 of my children while in womb. It's been a wild ride. I can definitely say I am ready to have my body back to myself and to e able to tweak and tighten up. I still have about 80 lbs til my goal weight. But only 65 to my Dr goal weight -

Everyone's sleeve size is different. I have noticed that male sleeve patients can usually eat more than female. I wonder why? Interesting. I have also found that at 8 mos post op and 7 mos preg I can eat slightly more than the normal sleeve patient. Not by much. But by enough to freak me out -

Only 7 wks post op & pregnant.
ebthompson2010 replied to divagirl78's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I don't really know. I only consume about 800 calories a day. It could be that I chase my 1 and 2 yr olds around all over the place. I was told by my surgeon to lay off the cardio because I was losing too fast. So I haven't done any cardio for about 6 mos. I get sick pretty often from pregnant and probably surgery mixed. But the baby is doing great! -
Only 7 wks post op & pregnant.
ebthompson2010 replied to divagirl78's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I am 7 mos post op and 7 mos pregnant. I had an IUD and still ended up becoming pregnant. My pregnancy is also unplanned but still a blessing my baby is doing very well an I've lost 115 lbs in these 7 mos. I still have 80 lbs to lose but I know I will be able to do that once she gets here. Everything will work out for the best I will say that this pregnancy has been the best even with the more nausea I've had. -
Frustrated and at a loss.

AF is 6 days late!
ebthompson2010 replied to tiffy0485's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My first one was late after surgery but.... I found out I was pregnant. I am 7 mos post op and 7 mos pregnant. I got pregnant a week after surgery. I had an IUD and still ended up pregnant. I figured I was late because of surgery and the drastic changes my body was facing. Never even thought to take a pregnancy test until morning sickness began. I don't want to scare you, but if this keeps up please take a test to be sure. -
You will be fine don't stress!!! Get ready for a new life!
