Vsg And Pregnancy-Losing Weight After Baby
ebthompson2010 replied to NaomiesMommy's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
Let me know how this goes. I was sleeved Aug 2, 2012. I had an IUD in to prevent pregnancy and my husband and I somehow ended up pregnant with our 3rd child anyway lol... And only a month post op. I am afraid this is going to sabotage my weightloss. I have still lost over 100 lbs since my surgery but I am afraid of gaining any back because I still have about 60 more that I want to lose -

ebthompson2010 replied to susanfaye's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
-- I'm almost in the same situation. I became pregnant about a month after surgery with an IUD in. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I pray everyday for my unborn baby I just found out recently that we are having another girl. I AM however happy to know that I am not the only one who was so very fertile after surgery. -

Eating out?
ebthompson2010 replied to ebthompson2010's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks everyone! I do pack a lunch often. But sometimes I just get so fed up with the same things. I have found that a 1$ side salad and a grilled chicken wrap at McDonald's works well. I just take out the chicken and add it to the salad and get the fat free Italian dressing. Add it all together then shake it in the container. I focus mainly on the chicken but I get some salad in. I'm proud of McDonald's for offering a small salad on the 1$ menu. -
Any suggestions on what to eat out post op?? Us normal busy moms don't always have a chance to eat from home. In our town we have sonic, McDonald's, church's chicken, Pizza Hut, and Whataburger. That's it. Any suggestions??
-
Maybe you like the saltiness? I personally don't like it.
-
Yes! I love salmon. But I love tuna in water. I l have tried albacore. It's just so weird that it makes me nauseated for a good 2 hours after eating it.
-
I would think it may be the way I make it but I eat those things altogether with out the tuna all the time and don't get sick. I dunno. I wonder what it is about tuna. I love it so much my mouth is watering right now thinking about it lol!! But my poor ol tummy just doesn't like it.

YES! I was sleeved on Aug 2. I have lost 110 lbs to date. I am also 3 mos pregnant. I eat a well balanced meal at every meal. I eat my protein, then my veggies and or fruit, then some of my starch or carb. I am full and satisfied. -
Juice for nausea?
ebthompson2010 replied to 2013isit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I drank 1/2 cup of water mixed with 1/2 cup of white grape juice WITH SUGAR and it helped me nausea. And is also helping with nausea now that I am 3 mos pregnant and have all day morning sickness . -

Diahrrea After Surgery?
ebthompson2010 replied to Ola Tess's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Very very normal!! It will last for about 3-4 wks. I know it's hard and uncomfortable. Honestly sometimes I was afraid to pass gas because I didn't want to have an accident. It will pass. When you start eating more dense proteins it will get better. Then you'll wonder why you are going for like 3-4 days at all. And it's because you eat so little it takes time to push everything through your intestines. Everyone is different. REMEMBER THAT -

Nausea (Severe)
ebthompson2010 replied to rikkihu2's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have this problem also. I am 4 mos post op and have ALL DAY extreme nausea. BUT I am also 3 mos pregnant. So it could be pregnancy sickness or it could be sleeve. OR even both. I take zofran every 6 hrs but it doesn't help :'( -
Numbers please!!! Starting weight: 330 lbs Day of Surg: 300 Today: 228 SO exciting!!!

I just wanted to let you know that I know a lot of you are worried about pain after surgery. And I am here to testify that not EVERYONE has pain. Whether it be gas pains or incision pains some people do not have any problems what so ever. Everyone is different so don't base your nerves on what youve read from someone else's experience. I came out of surgery and never once had gas, nausea, or any sort of pain. I am 3 wks post now and I do have an occasional muscle ache in my abdomen but this is the first an only time ive had any discomfort. So cheer up!! You're gonna be great!! You are taking the first step into your new lives. GO GET U SOME SKINNY!!

I thought I was alone in the pregnancy sickness diet situation. I'm only 10 wks and as of right now EVERYTHING I eat make me nauseated. I'm having such horrible all day sickness . I'm praying it gets better soon.

I Was Sleeved In May And Just Found Out I Am Pregnant
ebthompson2010 replied to Seemebetter's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I am 3 mps post op and 10 wks pregnant. I did not plan this pregnancy either. In fact I had an IUD in an still got pregnant. I also am having all day sickness and severe acid reflux. My Dr prescribed me zofran for my sickness but it doesn't help much. I believe in Gods plan and I believe that if you are suppose to have this baby you will. It wasn't a mistake becoming pregnant. I am staying optimistic and praying the sickness ends soon. I was sick with my other two until 14 wks with both. Stay strong!
