Hi everyone, I got pregnant 3 months post op and haven't lost anymore weight. I have gained 8lbs which the doctor says is great. btw I am 34 weeks yesterday. so I am so concerned cause it seems that I can eat way more than I should be able, like about a cup or so at one sitting sometimes. the other thing is I want to graze all day as I feel hungry all the time. im not eating a cup of food every time I graze but its like I want to feel full all the time. I am worried I will stretch my stomach and after baby comes I will not continue my weight lose journey or that it is going to be so much harder. Does anyone know if the restrictment of the sleeve comes back after you deliver? Will I stop this feeling of always being hungry? Will I start to lose again as I still have about 70 lbs to goal weight? any advice would be so welcomed. thanks

I was told that a great herb for supply is fenugreek. ask your doctor. also seek out your lactation expert where you are having your baby. mine has been wonderful and indispensable. good luck. let me know how it goes as I am due in march and also nervous about supply

words of warning lol. I have had pcos for years. its been almost 8 years since I needed birth control cause I couldn't get pregnant. I do have one fertility treatment baby and we as a couple decided that weight loss would be a better option for another. so I have the sleeve last feb 19th and well when they say it will be super easy to get pregnant it is. I was 3 months out and was having trouble losing weight so they took me off the pill and told me to use other protection. one time without and we are having a baby girl in march. I only had lost 65lbs at that point, so it doesn't take much to make your fertility go way up. I thought they were full of it when its said only a 5% lose is needed lol but guess they were right. so yes ladies stick with the plan and do what they tell you and soon hopefully it will work out for you. great news is most of my pcos symptoms are gone as well. I will say don't get pregnant so soon out from surgery as it has been one scary ride. good luck

the lactation expert at the hospital where I am having my baby said I could have a problem with milk production however there are things you can do. she told me what I eat will be key. lots of protein. also she said drink drink drink because with the sleeve its harder to get enough liquids and that will be your number one thing that will set you back. so stay hydrated. there is also an herb fenugreek that helps increase milk production and is the most widely recommended herb to help with lactation. the lactation lady also said get help immediately so that frustration doesn't set in because that is when you give up. no question is dumb and neither r any concerns. and as mamachef said contact your leche league that is all they do. you might also look for a hospital that offers monthly or weekly free drop in clinics that allow to address milk production, lack and anything else. hope that helps.

Lmao i know i did that one too, so ur not alone there. It was like what the. Wait till they come every month such weirdness in normalcy

Your welcome i know i need it when i do and so many people on here have been great to me so i want to pass that along

My last one we had to do the whole clomid thing and it was so hard. And being heavy we have had a total of five years of unprotected sex with no babies amd weight loss was what i needed. Hope it is easy for u and ur hubby. Good luck and hopefully there is a baby in ur not to distant future

I to have bc problems and we decided plan around ovualtion. Just be careful i spontaniously ovualted right after i bled so whatever u choose do it 100%

I will say be careful. I planned on same thing bit figured we didnt have to be to careful as it had been years of no babies or protection and surprise i got pregnant the one time we didnt use any. Im so happy for u though and i did this surgery for the same reason. Good luck

I love my doc. She said same as the other person's i'm high risk cause of the surgery but with the sleeve very few complications happen. She said i will have a few more ultrasounds than normal to make sure baby is growing and if baby is on track then no worries if baby is small i have to try to up calories. I also had to have blood work and they tested everything one could imagine to make sure my Vitamin levels r on track. I also take extra folic acid cause thats the one ur body has trouble absorbing now. Otherwise she said as long as ur out of the drastic weight lose phase that i will be healthier this pregnancy and don't worry cause baby will take from u first.

What does ur ob doc have u doing. Im five months out and 8 weeks and have an ultrasound tomorrow. Would love to compare notes with someone in my boat.

Same here. It was scary but they said that as long as i do what i need to everything will be great.

Well i just found out im pregnant which is funny cause i had severe pcos and took fertility meds to have my last child. This time we didnt even try it just happened with no help. So vs will help u get to a weight where a baby is possible. Good luck ladies.

Sleeved 2-19 and im down 65lbs. Feeling great but just found out i have to have my gallbladder out and im pregnant. Never thought that would happen. Very shocked
