I am 5.5 weeks post op and I just found out that I'm pregnant. Apparently the pill doesn't absorb correctly in your body after the surgery. I'm a little nervous and really hoping that it sticks but also not anticipating it to since my body is still healing from my surgery. They're going to monitor me very closely for nutritional deficiencies and checking on the weight of the baby but other than that they think I'll be fine.

Oh that's so good to hear! All the research I've done is regarding pregnancy at least 3 months out. I'm still losing weight and my midwife thinks it's fine. I've been sooooo sick though. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I'm surprised too. She was so thorough about everything else. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

No worries! So glad to hear you're doing well. The pulling feeling is still happening for me too. And I'm so tired. Running one errand lands me on the couch for the rest of the day. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I had the same fear. I had dreams that the surgery didn't work for me. I'm 2 weeks post op now and guess what? I've lost 14 pounds! I weigh myself everyday expecting it to go up but it never does! I'm still in shock about that. You can do this! I've tried everything to lose weight which I'm sure everyone here has done and the surgery works. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Wow! That's fantastic! I'm down 12 as of a few days ago. I'm afraid to weigh myself everyday lol. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Hey everyone! I'm currently 10 days post op and feeling loads better. I get really tired at different points in the day but this afternoon I was up for 3 hours cleaning my kitchen and cooking a bit. The pain is much better these last two days as well. I'm extremely tired of pureed foods. All I want is to chew something lol. I've also been searching for some different recipes that will help me mix things up a bit. What are/did you all eat during the month long baby food diet? I'm also struggling with not being able to pick up my 20 month old. I miss her so much! I have a 4 year old as well but she doesn't seem to be as affected as the toddler.

How are you doing at home? I am 10 days post op so we're really close on our journeys. I was more worried about the recovery period than the surgery itself but nothing has been nearly as bad as I thought it would be Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App
