So I guess time will tell.. I'm more worried I guess like most are about the weight gain.. Does it make any sense to try not to gain weight? Because then when u give birth you will be smaller than what u started??? I'd love to maintain my weight thru out just made it into onederland and would love to never see a 2 in front of my weight again..,

I was convinced I'd never leave the 200's being stuck at 202/200 for what feels like forever but now at just about 8 months post op I've done it!! It couldn't have happened soon enough I was totally falling off angry that my sleeve was "broken" but from being a size 22/LXX plus and 284 to now a slim 12/M 199 I'm so happy and pray this helps me get back into my routine

Were any of you pregnant before wls to be able to compare to then and now? I have twins at home and I had a pretty miserable pregnancy was swollen like a balloon puked the whole way thru even got worse right before they were born. Im wondering if this time it's going to be worse than that because I was hoping weighing so much less it would easier...

I was wondering what most of you ate for each meal to ensure that your baby is getting enough. For example did you make sure to have a shake daily because it's so protien packed? Or did you find something else that worked.. TIA

They never did more blood on me to check anything.. Just had blood done by a different dr nothing vsg related and had very low D

It soooo close yet soooo far ... I've stopped going to the dr ages ago they kept me waiting for hours only to weigh me and ask if I had questions and that was that. I couldn't keep asking my husband or hiring a sitter for appointments I felt were 100% pointless

I've lost so much mojo not reaching my first goal I set for myself which was to be in onederland by New Years I've made it to 205 and I'm so insanely annoyed I maybe loose a pound a week even being a 1000% perfect taking vitamins eating right and exercising I stall and stall and really start hating myself feeling fat and useless all over again

The thing is Id love to cheat for let's say even a day.. I miss drinking soda, used to drink diet soft drinks all the time.. And have not touched a drop since pre-op I'm sick of Snapple, and water.. Can't seem to find a satisfying replacement ... I of course knew the long term commitment here but I guess I've got the 7 month itch.. Getting bored of everything and nothing all the same. The awful weather isn't helping.. I don't know what else to make to switch it up..

It's been quite the journey these past 7 months. I have learned a lot about just how much I did eat and how nasty it is to sit on the sidelines watching people eat what used to be my norm and then some and think omg how can they just keep eating.. That's so much food! I feel like I'm even more self critical then I was.. Sometimes I look at myself and even though I've lost over 80lbs and a size 12 down from a 22 I feel so fat! Jiggly bits of skin here and there.. More frustrated at the scale.. Like why won't it move.. Damn it to hell!! I have no regrets in doing the surgery but I am getting tired of trying all the time. Sometimes it feels like I committed to a permanent diet and get frustrated when I go to a fancy restaurant and have to run and throw up because I had just a bit more than my body could handle. Just trying to find happiness within myself and new body..

Thank u.. I guess not hating the way I look completely helps the smile a bit

.. But I guess I'm doing alright. Night before surgery and last night...

My pleasure and good luck with your journey

I'm not, not trying - in other words not using anything.. I'm down 70 and really wished it was more already. Hit a stall and even with adding more intense workout still nada...

Trying to conceive ... I'm almost 6 months out and so desperately want another baby., I keep pushing forward waiting for it to happen on its own had twins with and IUI nothing so dramatic but I hope each pound I loose will bring me closer to my dream of conceiving on our own

My start was 284 now I'm at 217.. Dreaming of the days in onederland my goal was 210 thanksgiving And onderland New Years .. Hope I can make it. I've been doing the elliptical like crazy to get there ... I hate the slow down...
