Definately safe to get preggo BUT you have to wait 12 months (my doctor told me 6 months and others are told 18months, but the average is about 12 months) Pregnancy is different for everyone. I know someone who had the bypass and was pregnant 2months pregnant afterwards..... The baby got all of the necessary nutrients and my friend was still losing weight.... But someone else I know did gain weight.....like 10lbs but in the grand scheme of things, I think that's okay There's a section on here for pregnancies.... You should check it out.... It's on the main page, just scroll down a little good luck in YOUR decision.... We're here for you either way

Great job!!!!! And congrats!!!!!!

Sleeve..... I'm 24, can't have kids because my fat caused infertility....so now I'm praying I can.... The sleeve is hard but I had the band and it slipped..... I'm very happy with my sleeve! I'm 2 weeks post op and looking forward to trying for babies next year

Today is day 14 post op for me.... I know exactly what you're going through.... Have you decided on your "first meal" yet? My doctor told me I can have egg whites while on soft foods....so today, I cooked myself one egg-white.... What you are really "craving" is the ability to CHEW something..... Trust me! I went through the same exact thing these last few days lol.... Now that I'm chewing my egg, I don't have the cravings I did 4 days ago.... I no longer want to order a pizza, just to lick a slice or have a cheeseburger just to get the tastes...... I'm very happy with my egg lol... If you haven't already, try activia vanilla yogurt or tomato Soup.... My doctor suggested these to me and they helped me get through my last week!

I'm 2 weeks out today and eating my first egg-white

haven't given it much thought yet....but I'm the same way..... My friend is throwing his 2nd annual Halloween party and I plan to look great, feel great and get my party on!

Sorry I was out of town, but I did weigh myself! As of 09/01/12, I was 216 for a 4lb weightloss Good luck everyone!

my surgeon performed 3 surgeries that day I had my surgery..... I weighed less than the other girl and the other guy and somehow, my stomach was twice as big.... I knew I was never getting full :/

I havent been on here in a few days and since then ive been wondering.... WHY DO I HAVE TO BE ON LIQUIDS FOR FOURTEEN FREAKING DAYS!!!!!! okay but seriously i am so tired of water, powerade and tomato soup.... nothing else tastes good and now now I'm getting tired of the only things that tastes good -__- i move to soft foods on tuesday/wednesday and it cant come fast enough

Theyre making chicken mole and rice!!!! My favorite dish!!!! Damn you in-laws! lol

when can I start exercising? I'm 5 days post op.... Doctor appointment is Tuesday but I'm itching to start walking.... Since my prep started (one week from surgery 8-21-12) I've lost 22 1/2lbs!!! My husband and I have taken a "stroll" here and there, just trying to get used to being up since I go back to work soon... But I've got an itch to jump on my elliptical and get to work! lol.... Thanks!

every time I pee.... I know I shouldn't but I can't stop myself.... I like seeing the lbs disappear throughout the day

congrats!!!!!

Good for you. You don't need her as a friend. Sounds like a b***h I would have slapped a few times lol

I'm starting withm5 minutes walking.... Once around my block.... I'll move up to twice around the block in 3 or 4 days.... We gotta take it slow at first, especially right after surgery Good luck <3

I too, was cleared when I left the hospital.... But I wasn't able to until day 5, which was when I had tomato soup hehe

welcome blannie.... Congrats on your decision.... best of luck to you!!!!

is your band tight? I just switched from band to sleeve.... My band was too tight, then my doctor loosened it and it ended up slipping..l I only lost 40lbs with the band... I followed the diet to a T, no mess ups until AFTER my band slipped.... I just couldn't loose weight.... Then I gained 15 lbs back and decided on the sleeve.... I suggest just telling your doctor that you want the sleeve (if that's what you want) OR Start with liquids for 2 days then move to Greek yogurt for breakfast, salad for lunch and a protein shake for dinner.... good luck sweetie

no need to tell your boss.... Mr. or Mrs. _______, I am writing you this letter to inform you of an important major surgery in my near future. Per my surgeon, I will be unable to fly on an airplane for up to one month after surgery is complete. I am also requesting time off for (month day, year) through (month day, year) for previous said surgery. Thank you for your time, __________________ simple, to the point and completely confidential. <3 good luck!

i (sort of) already do! haha... by sort of, i mean i am fighting head hunger like crazy....

good to know.... thank you!

Im 5 days post op and would kill for a homemade salad with lettuce, tomatoes, croutons and ranch dressing, lightly with cheese!!!! damn you water >=|

I'm doing better now.... made a mango/yogurt/soy milk purée.... It's really good! also had some tomato soup.... I'm able to eat/sip more than I thought... About 4oz every hour....

sounds safe to me! lol. Keep up the GREAT work!!!!

oops, I meant liver lol
