Congrats on your new life!!! I know exactly how you feel!! I have two boys under 3 and I stay at home as well. I'm also seeing my NUT for the last time on Thursday and can't wait for surgery too! Exciting!!!! Did you get approved yet? Congrats again!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's awesome that the appeal worked!! Congrats!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm getting sleeved in November and I have 2 young ones. 11 mo and 2.5 yo. I've heard recovery is easier than a c-section! My kids are home with me all day and my husband only comes on weekends. My Mom is coming from Colorado to help me for two weeks while I recover. She doesn't want me lifting. I think since all your kids are walking you will be fine. The main thing is lifting them.

I was going to write this exact post! I'm tentatively scheduled to get the sleeve on Nov 15. I'm also nervous about my habits. I don't graze though. I actually don't eat anything all day then at night when the kids go to bed I eat and eat and eat and eat. I do not stop! I don't get very full either! I go for everything! I should be following a diet right now but I'm not. My mindset at night is...I can eat this now because I won't ever be able to eat it again come November. I know I shouldn't think this way but I am. **hangs head in shame** I'm very nervous that after my sleeve I'm going to have major withdrawals from sugar and carbs and have a hard time staying off the junk later on down the road. I think all the suggestions above are great! I'm totally subscribing to this. Anyway sorry I didn't meant to thread jack! Good luck with your surgery! We should keep in touch since my surgery is only a few days after yours. Maybe we can help each other stay on the ball Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You look A-Mazing!!! Congrats!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm in the same boat. Well sorta. My son is 18 lbs and I'll be getting surgery in November. I was told I can't lift anything above 20lbs for 6 weeks. So my mom is coming from Colorado to help with the babies for 3 weeks then I'm on my own. In your case, I would try to find someone to come help you for the first week at least! Do you have any family that can come stay for a week? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow... Crazy!!! Any updates? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm set to get surgery in November but my NUT told me that they want to see normal Iron levels before my surgery. Has anyone had low iron levels before surgery? If so, did they postpone your surgery or proceed with surgery? I've been taking 65mg a day of iron as suggested by my NUT but I'm concerned it will still be low at pre-op lab testing and they won't operate. Just a FYI...My iron was at level 7 in July. I've been taking 65mg of iron daily since. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Love Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's awful!!! I'm sure that was very hard! I'm glad to hear that you finally got your surgery though! I was very worried that would happen to me until I saw my NUT yesterday. She said that they won't postpone it if I'm iron deficient. I said are you sure? She said she's positive. So I feel better about it now. Still kind of nervous though!

Cedar Park, TX Getting sleeved in November! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm in the same boat! My last wl appt is 1 month from today. Hoping to get surgery in November. I'm also totally nervous there are going to be insurance issues. I actually asked my office "if I don't get approved do you all fight for me?" They assured me that they do. Anyway, Good luck! Yay! new life here we come!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh wow! That's what I'm worried about! Sorry they postponed you!! That must've been very hard! I'm so excited about this surgery that I would be devastated if they postponed it! I also have extremely heavy periods. I've never heard of an ablation. Totally going to google that! I would love to have something that could slow my flow, I had no idea that was possible. I'm going to go out and find the best iron possible and drink all the oj and Vitamin C supplements now! Thank you all for this advice! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How many milligrams twice a day? Maybe I should do 2 a day to be safe. What was your iron level before you started supplements? Mine was 7, which I think is VERY low. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
