Anyone on insulin therapy? what is your dosing schedule like? Im 10 weeks pregnant and I see the diabetic speciaist tomorrow ...advice /thoughts/Im nervous...i wanna keep my baby safe....this is my first baby! Aww lil one is so cute! Im 11 months post op -- ...Im having a hard time keeping up with the Protein and calorie intake...this kid is hungry!! I also had the surgery due to infertility...this is my first baby at 39 yrs of age!! Im considered high risk cuz of my age and bariatric surgery/diabetes

on my own! I have never been pregnant in my life! I got married in 2004 ( no bc) and we tried to get pregnant for so long with so many unsuccessful cycles we just gave up! I did the HSG test, endometrial biopsy all that! My paps were always normal. I could never qualify for IUI because of my diabetes--insulin resistance--I did opk after opk...It just never worked out! My ovaries gear up to ovulate but never actually do! My hormones including hypothyriod (low thyroid) is just all over the place! I hope with the surgery I can begin to get back in the normal range of blood sugar/hormones and my weight! I wanna beat this pcos syndrome! Im tired of the mood swings and anxiety! I sometimes feel bitter and resentful because I cannot become pregnant as easily as all the other women in my life! To them it comes like clockwork! For me...NOT at all! So I am hoping/praying/ putting my hands(life) into the surgeons hands.... I am hoping that all of us pcos gals can attain all our wants and needs---cheers to a healthier lifestyle and a NEW lease on life! Hugs to you all! Have a great night!

My Dr. just gave me the green light yesterday for the pureed stage of food. Im really nervous about this stage. I have eat egg drop Soup and yogurt just fine with no problems. I had a scrambled egg this morning and I could only eat half of it. I did get full from the scrambled egg. I guess since diabetics have to watch their carb intake more closely, I thought I would ask you guys. I have my mini food processor ready for me to get to pureeing up some good stuff! What did you make during your pureed stage of eating? Thanks guys

Im 39 years old and pregnant with my first baby! I am 12 months post op right now I did not reach my goal weight but I got the sleeve so that i could become more fertile and now my lil bean is growing! Yay Im so happy!

Surgery will work for you just at a slower rate At this point I've lost 43 lbs and lots of body fat looks like I lost 60 lbs I'm 5'8 Sw 283 cw 235 I am diabetic on one med now And only levothyroxine Hopefully eventually I will be off my diabetes meds soon! I'm happy with my progress so far!

I'm 9 months post op! I haven't lose lbs in a while too! It's the carbs huh?!! I eat toast and and hamburger bun with my patty! I eat about 100 carbs! Oh no I better turn it down!

When your hubby walks right passed you at Target and texts you 'where are you'!?? lolol When a security guard at works stops you in the hallway and says ' hey you lost weight huh you look great! With a huge smile on his face! I felt flattered....

My name is Evie I'm 39 years old got married in 2004 Been type 2 diabetic since I was 20 years old Hubby n I have no kids been infertile due to my weight and diabetes my weight was up to about 300 lbs! Drs had done all the fertility testing HSG , endometrial biopsy, ultrasounds , hormone panels and everything looked fine! My gyno suggested I get the sleeve surgery ! I was shocked and insulted at the same time! I guess it was a reality check! Uncontrolled diabetes on several medications even thyroid meds! My Sw 300 weight surgery day 276 cw 237 I went through kaiser harbor city for my sleeve surgery. I have had no complications. I'm still diabetic but my meds have been reduced by 75% Only taking Metformin pills now! Yay!!! My hubby is a 3rd grade teacher and I am a para-educator in special ed for high school students with learning disabilities! Now that I am post op with the sleeve surgery I feel so much better about life I'm not depressed like I was back then! I can see a light at the end of the tunnel! I hope to have a baby some day soon too! Now that most of my stomach is long gone the ghrelin hormone is gone too! I'm not hungry/starving all the time! I have less mood swings and my pcos is better too! My family was opposed to me getting the surgery ! They kept saying your gonna die! You will not wake up from the surgery ! My own family saying this to me! I went for it and I am so glad I did! I am happier and healthier than I have ever been! Plus my marriage is happier too because I'm not sickly or in dumps all the time! Yay me! Be brave! Investigate your surgeon! And begin your new life post op! It's not easy but worth it!
